  • 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

    Help. I'm really confused!

    @solarwave Thankyou for your sympathy. I guess it is like you say - I enjoy it and I feel like I need to have these two halves, but that's where the problem comes from. I'm scared to talk to God about how I feel, because if I lie and say I really want to get rid of the "evil me", I'll change...

    Help. I'm really confused!

    Like everyone here seems to be, I'm confused. It'll take a while to explain, but please bear with me: My family's never been religious. I've never been particularly religious, but I've always been curious. I started getting faith about six months ago, when I properly started studying philosophy...

    Interessiert auf Deutsch

    English is my first language, but I find German easier than other languages I've studied - perhaps because I prefer it. And they're more similar than you might think. I'm not fluent in anything but English. German is my best language, but I've got GCSE level Spanish, and almost the same...

    Why didn't God stop Adam and Eve taking the fruit?

    God is omniscient – I believe that God is omniscient in the sense that He can see every possible future, every outcome of every choice that we make, and He can influence our decisions, and try to push us towards the right future. However, evil and sin are against God’s nature, so entirely that...

    Can I explain our imperfect world?

    (I'm not sure if this is in the right place, so hopefully a mod can move it if it would be better somewhere else!) I'm studying philosophy of religion at school, and I'm finding it really interesting. But we were talking about the start of Genesis, and had the predictable debate "If God is...

    What instruement(s) do you play?

    Flute and piccolo Clarinet and Bass Clarinet (the most awesome instrument in the world) Alto sax (which I've had a month but can play pretty well) Keys - badly! And vocals. But I'm an alto/contralto and I can't hear harmonies very easily which makes singing in a choir a bit more difficult!

    Is homosexuality a sin?

    I'm a bisexual girl - not the image people usually have, polygamous, adulterous etc - and I'm really uncomfortable with it at the moment because I am trying to reunite myself with Christianity, and because I am studying ethics at school. I didn't choose to feel attracted to both genders. I don't...
