  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    About to leave faith, interested in opinions/comments

    I don't know if you are still around reading this thread, but I would really suggest seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist. I went through the exact same things you are going. And hence why some people just hate me in this forum. I think that what you are dealing with is an awakening. You will...

    Is this God?

    The forum doesn't allow me to quote both of you at the same time, as it excedes the limit of words allowed. I will just use my last bit of patience to try to reply to both of you at the same time. First of all, each person belives in what is convenient to them, and that is their personal belief...

    Is this God?

    No. In terms of love, you should listen to the person and offer her real advices, other than saying repent or you'll go to hell. You won't ever, ever gain any single soul for Jesus doing what you are doing. But that will only be taught to you by time. I could write here forever, but you would...

    Is this God?

    Have you ever heard that love is the best preaching method? Jesus preached by love, and not by the scriptures. He did use the scriptures some times, but His basis was aways love. When you come to a difficult situation, or when you have to talk to a person that does not belive in God, ask...

    Is this God?

    Me too friend. I oftenly pray, and feel like God didn't hear my prayer. Then I have to keep praying until I "feel" that he heard it. And sometimes that takes like 15 to 30 minutes. I know it sounds really dumb, but there is no logical reason for that. And I know there isn't. But so far I am...

    Is this God?

    Thank you, dear friend. You have no idea how much your words helped me. I will try to remember them all the time, because they speak deep to my heart. I will try to understand that God is with me and that doesn't depend on the situation I am living in (anxiety, etc). Currently, I am beginning to...

    Is this God?

    By open minded, I mean I was searching for people who don't base all of their beliefs in a single book and blindly defend it, specially a book that teaches you to stone prostitutes. I still disagree. Many demonination exists because they interpret each part of the bible in different ways. I am...

    Is this God?

    There are many concepts of God, and I thought I could find some spiritual and open minded users in this forum. There are even dozens of diferent concepts of God in Christianity, hence the denominations. But all of them seem pretty shallow to me. So far none convinced me, despite using the Bible...

    Is this God?

    Not true. I know of many OCD persons that have gotten better after doing therapy, specially using CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy). It might be possible that they are not healed, and that can only be achieved by seeking God. I don't disagree with you in this aspect. In fact, this was one of the...

    Is this God?

    We are not discussing morals here. We are discussing our points of view of God I couldn't care less if you belive or not. I do, and that is enough for me and to base on my own experiences, instead of blindly following what others tell me what is right and wrong. You said liars go to hell...

    Is this God?

    Thank God you are a thinker. I can see you can still rationalize in these kinds of complex situations. I totally agree with you. But trust me, I have asked the same question to other christians, and they told me they wouldn't shoot the bandit because if they did, they would go to hell, because...

    Sorry, but you are wrong. Your mind is defined by your ego, while your brain defines some of your thoughts. A person with OCD, for example, knows this issue much better. Let's say that she has a purelly obsessive OCD. Her brain keeps telling her to kill herself, but her mind knows that she...

    Is this God?

    Honestly, after reading this answer, I feel there is nothing else for us to discuss or debate. But I will answer the rest of your questions. Dear God, the Divine Comedy is a tragedy written in the middle ages, where it recounts the story of a soldier that loses his wife, and he then ventures...

    Is this God?

    Haha, oh my God, I am going to hell because I am a free thinker, and I have the guts to question the bible! What do I do now?! ... You make me laugh. Yes, I am the son of a preacher, but I couldn't care less if you don't belive me. To me you are just another christian holding his bible and...

    Is this God?

    God, these things are so wrong, I don't even know how to begin. Lets try, anyway: The bible was a book written by humans. No, God didn't come down to earth to write the bible. Many concepts of the Bible are WRONG. Sorry, if Jesus said that looking at a woman with lust is a sin, I don't even...
