  • 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

    I need to quell my hate for the political right

    Excellent way to look at it. Perhaps my focus is too much on the traditions and philosophies of men and not on the word of God.

    I need to quell my hate for the political right

    Simply put, I hate the political right. I absolutely despise them. I view them as barriers to societal progress, whose policies are immensely harmful. When speaking to them, I am filled with spite and vitriol, and I am absolutely vicious. I don't associate with them at all in my personal life...

    Really struggling with expectations of myself

    So this really hit me recently. I was checking out a few places to live over the past few days, meeting potential roommates, etc. And I have this feeling of inadequacy. Some background: I have, since my early teen years, struggled with mental health and behavioral issues, namely bipolar...

    Intense pathological anger patterns

    Hi everyone, peace and blessings. Looking for spiritual and/or non-spiritual help. Anything at all, really. I am in a place of desperation. I have a dual personality. Angels and demons, really. On the one hand, I am compassionate, thoughtful, empathetic, caring, and kind. I am charitable; I'll...

    Nike losing financial incentives in Arizona

    All of the costs associated with policy positions have been carefully weighed and have been found to be profitable in the long term. In 40 years, Trump's treatment of migrant families will be viewed as an atrocity, much the same way FDR's internment of Japanese-Americans is viewed that way...

    Nike losing financial incentives in Arizona

    Social progress moves constantly forward. Social conservatism is an ever receding ideology; it slowly gives up ground as the years pass by. For example, social conservatives were pro-segregation before the Civil Rights Act, but have since given up that ground. They were also against Don't Ask...

    Nike losing financial incentives in Arizona

    I don't support Nike because they pay Indonesian workers less than a dollar a day to make their shoes, and house them in obscenely filthy and dismal conditions no human being should ever live in. As a Christian, I cannot support that. American prisoners live better than Nike's overseas employees.

    Nike losing financial incentives in Arizona

    No Christian should be proud of racism, slavery, conquest, and genocide. We can do better.

    The Book of Acts isn't just for Dispensationalists!!!

    It would be a lot easier to have this conversation if you knew anything at all about communism and anarchism. Your knowledge seems to be limited to webster definitions and Fox News.
