  • 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

    How to tame the Ego?

    Maybe the key to taming it to understand what God's purpose for it is. There's a reason for every emotion and inclination we have, but it is seldom discussed what is the good purpose of pride/ego. People just say it's "bad" and try to suppress it. A better approach may be to understand its...

    How to tame the Ego?

    Check this thread out about ego: How to Control my EGO Although it's more of an Eastern philosophical view of "Ego", nevertheless there are some truths about how the ego acts. To summarize, the ego acts to preserve itself. If the Ego perceives one to be intelligent, the ego will react...

    Solipsism: a life-destroying philosophy

    May the Lord open your eyes. Weird thoughts sometimes invade our minds, but they do go away - every single one of them. Some just take longer and require more persistence, but certainly "fleeing from temptation" helps. In your case, avoid exposure to the dangerous philosophy and meditate on...

    Possibly on the verge of something big - please pray!

    I have invented a game that is being evaluated by an agent this week. It's already had favourable responses from industry experts and people who have played it. I hope it will allow me to be a philanthropist and devote all my time to ministry. You may be thinking that I'm doing this for my...

    Help - I want certain people to envy me!

    Since this thread was derailed, let me confess more and give more details about my negative feelings so the thread can get back on track. My "want of envy" is not because I have low self-esteem, but rather that I want those people to rise up and hate the Government and see the miserable life...

    Help - I want certain people to envy me!

    Sorry, but I don't buying the innocence of your "with all due respect - you're a jerk" first post. Some people replied to this post and gave me advice - and much of it was "tough love" advice. You did not offer advice, merely to give me a "I feel sorry that you're such a bad person" attack...

    Help - I want certain people to envy me!

    No, that's silly. I don't name it for the same reason I wouldn't name a person by name if I was talking about them on a public forum. How I feel about that country reflects my own thoughts and people on a public forum shouldn't have their opinions on that country to be unfairly tainted by me.

    Help - I want certain people to envy me!

    kellyc - i can't fathom people like you who come to an advice forum to heckle people. i came here for advice, not to be heckled. if you are incapable of 'edification' - go away. So what do you suppose kelly - people who confess their sins do so to be heckled by people like you? Is that your...

    Help - I want certain people to envy me!

    I wonder what's it like to live a simple life where there's peace and there's no competition like on some idyllic tropical island. The more I think about how I feel, the more I think it's really akin to the feeling of wanting justice after being bullied - that would be a close parallel. Even...

    Help - I want certain people to envy me!

    I suppose you're not a very nice person since you can't even comply with a simple and reasonable request to "not judge". I am conflicted about this, that's why I am posting here so I can help myself process these thoughts. You on the other hand must be like God, incapable of having wrong...

    Help - I want certain people to envy me!

    I have an interesting problem. I don't envy others, I want *some* people to envy me. I was hoping for some non-judgmental thoughts on why I'm like this and how to defocus on these thoughts. Some years ago I lived in a country that I now hate. The Government there controls everything and...
