  • 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

    Relating to Humans is Difficult

    Acquisition of wealth is not greed when trying to pay your bills and extinguish debt.

    Relating to Humans is Difficult

    I don't believe in consulting with counselors or "licensed mental health care providers." A true counselor would dispense wisdom freely, not charge you money you likely cannot afford to part with. In all probability, they are there for the paycheck more than they are to help. That may be...

    Relating to Humans is Difficult

    Joy does not interest me, though profit does. There are so many bills, expenses, and debts to pay off; and it's a never ending process. Only when I can profit enough to silence my financial nightmare can I find joy. Alas, that is years and years beyond now; thus joy must stay aside in the...

    Stress

    Why do you declare this? I have thought of training to be a cashier, but it's dizzying to try to remember all of the keyboard commands and codes.

    Relating to Humans is Difficult

    I know my sins. Each time I pray to God, I admit all of my sins aloud, even if but a whisper. I believe it important to recognize all sins before God aloud, though I know not why. I pray for the strength and wisdom necessary to nullify each and every sin from my life. I try, and I try. The...

    Stress

    How do you all deal with stress? I ask, because stress had been getting to me so bad that I spent the back half of 2010 battling heart problems. I managed to sort that out, but my chest has been starting to bother me again as of lately. I am 27 and live at home with my parents. My...

    Relating to Humans is Difficult

    My salvation is irrelevant for there can only be two outcomes: saved or damned. I believe myself to be saved for I have given myself to Christ and God. Do I still sin, sure, I am but a mere human with limitations and weaknesses, but I try. Knowing my friends partake in sin weighs so heavily...

    "Writing" Slowly Driving Me Mad

    Given my lack of education and skills, a part time retail job is really the only thing I will realistically acquire. However, I already have that... I need to find something quiet and low stress. I've already developed back and heart problems in the three years I've worked at a grocery store...

    Relating to Humans is Difficult

    I'm not really sure how to digest what you said. My friends sin, and it pains me to see them sin. When I say I am trying to keep sin at bay, it is not for my benefit, I do it for my friends' sake. Am I wrong for wanting to cut sin from their lives however I can?

    "Writing" Slowly Driving Me Mad

    The problem is, I don't even know where to look for that next job. Writing is the one thing that keeps me sane, but in doing so, it is the one thing that drives me insane. It is a conundrum I cannot solve. I may have a summer job at a small, local museum. Until then, I will be looking for...

    Relating to Humans is Difficult

    I do not judge per say. I just try to offer guidance. It pains me to see my friends intentionally partake in sin. I'm not judging, but rather franticly trying to keep sin at bay.

    "Writing" Slowly Driving Me Mad

    I focus on being famous solely because I need the money. My parents are approaching their 60's, and I am almost 30. I work at a grocery store and am only getting one shift a week right now. I failed out of college, my current job is the only job I can list on a resume (it's my first), and I...

    Relating to Humans is Difficult

    Though I am human, I must say that I find it very difficult to relate to my fellow human beings. I have a good friend whom I often debate human nature with. Basically, I find him too sinful, though I know his journey through life will take him straight toward God and Christ. He is a...

    "Writing" Slowly Driving Me Mad

    I just turned 27. Ever since I was 15, I have wanted to be a writer. Due to tragic events in life, I gave up this love soon after I discovered it. In the fall of 2009, I started writing again. However, due to my recent birthday and the fact that I will be 30 soon; I am reevaluating my life...
