  • 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

    Australian National Party splits from the Coalition with the Liberal Party

    Interesting. With the Nationals now becoming part of the crossbench, there's more room for cooperation among the smaller parties. Although with how varied the crossbench is I'd be surprised if they could ever come to a consensus on anything. Overall this is another win for Labor which is good to...

    What are YOU currently reading? (8)

    I'm just starting Lonely Castle in the Mirror by Mizuki Tsujimura because I want to read something more lighthearted. The past few books I've read recently have been a little too depressing lol.

    Does spiritual growth increase emotional intelligence?

    I definitely think so! I just finished reading Daniel Keyes' 'Flowers for Algernon', which for anyone that doesn't know, is a novel about a very unintelligent person with an IQ of 70 being given an experimental medical treatment that allows him to learn things at an extremely fast rate with...

    On Ethical Interaction with AI Systems

    Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. You specifically chose to feed it training data so as to produce a response you want on the nature of reality. I could then feed it training data to produce an opposite response. It's the same as response regeneration. Anyone can copy the model and feed it...

    On Ethical Interaction with AI Systems

    But his "responding independently" is because you told it to do that. What I mean is, while it did make an "independent" evaluation, I could ask it to produce another evaluation that considers whatever my viewpoint is. Therefore, it's not really independent and it has no motives of its own; it...

    Humans are natural born warriors

    It'd be nice if we could all get along with each other but people are always wanting things that they don't have, which I think is what causes people to fight or argue :doh1:

    On Ethical Interaction with AI Systems

    I think it's important to note that Daryl, who I'm assuming is an LLM, is not really "warning" or "insisting" anything, because it has no motives; to warn or insist on something suggests that you have some sort of motivation to do so and therefore some sort of objective you're trying to...

    Lust in long distance relationship

    I had a long distance relationship and know exactly what you mean, the lust/temptation is crazily frustrating lol. For me, the relationship didn't last since we never had that physical connection. We both came together at points in our lives when we both needed companionship, but as soon as we...

    What are your top Bible verses?

    Psalm 23 will always be my favourite because of how comforting it sounds.

    Evangelizing Plans for 2025

    My Christian club at uni helps out with our uni's food security programs. It's an opportunity to connect with people over a free meal and talk to them about their faith. I'm planning to volunteer for it this year.

    SHOULD CHRISTIANS BE INVOLVED WITH POLITICS?

    I think the government has the most power to help people who need it, like the poor and marginalised. So I think Christians should be involved with politics, to the extent that they should vote for a government which aims to help the disadvantaged.

    Hi

    :hi: Hi, I'm Sunshine, a 24 year old uni student from Australia. Currently I'm coming back to Christianity after having a hiatus from my faith for a few years. I'd call myself Catholic since that's the church I've grown up in, however as of recently idk if I belong to any denomination. My faith...

    What are YOU currently reading? (8)

    I just finished reading Cormac McCarthy's Child of God. It was a pretty gross read, but it's a short little novella. It's about a man who becomes estranged from society and in some acts of 'revenge' on society, he commits some heinous and disgusting crimes. By the end of the book you're...
