  • 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

    Scientists find coastal seas acidifying shockingly fast

    First, we emit more CO2 than India. So it's unquestionably hypocritical to condemn India for it. And of course, criticizing China for having more emissions than the U.S. would be like Belgium criticizing the U.S. for the same thing.

    President Trump renews push for Greenland, citing U.S. national security needs

    Supreme Court confronts gun rights pileup

    Although I don't believe this apparently scientists believe life formed on its own

    God could easily make Himself unambigously evident. He has chosen not to do so. Free will seems to be important to Him. Why? Refer to Non Servium by Stanislave Lem, in the collection The Mind's I by Douglas Hoffstader. A researcher in a computer simulation, has created a race of...
