  • 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

    Hybrid embryos and interspecies organ transplants: The new chimerae

    If they could join a horse and a pig or whatnot, i don't really object to that... where it gets sticky is the research that's been done combining humans with non-humans. To be fair, I am curious as to what would be possible and what would happen... it could open the world to huge opportunity...

    Roger Stone, Trump adviser admits to contact with DNC hacker

    I don't mind trump. He needs legitimate checks and balances instead of this runaway system we have currently... but Hillary was much more scary and we'd be in a war or two by now under her. Results aside, everyone who defrauded the voters SHOULD be prosecuted to the full extent of the law...

    Is Pope Francis the Antipope?

    Perhaps this latest pope is simply putting greater emphasis on the overarching message of the bible (love and inclusion), rather than an obsession with dogma? I haven't kept track of what he's been doing much, but I've heard more good things about this one than the last couple.

    Yep, I admit I'm a Loser

    Welcome to the club of losers. You're in good company, because that's generally the sort of people God is most likely to have a use for. Just gotta listen. Pick somehing you're not good at... if you have no control over it, fine. But if you can work on it, try. Even something simple and...

    Porn in marriage

    Some guys go to a bar (drunkenness and revelries are also works of the flesh). If the wife responds by nagging him and berating him and shaming him... he's not going to feel at rest at home... he'll feel more at rest at the bar because she's choosing to turn "home" into negative space. He is...

    Porn in marriage

    Fair enough. I'm good at reading situations, but communicate poorly. When I try to compensate for that, I overexplain and seem like even more of a jerk. My assertion is that her husband is definitely responsible for his actions, and I wouldn't mind confronting him for what is his fault...

    Self-defense

    I wear my ignorance on my sleeve. Nothing to be ashamed of. I come from a long line of fools. It means I've had a lot of opportunities to learn lessons. To steal someone else's wisdom- How do we win this war? It's impossible. Wars can't be "won." Sure, you can make the other guy lose...

    Porn in marriage

    Yes. BOTH parties are responsible for the actions they choose to take or not take. If he murders someone, he is responsible for that... but if a person drives someone to murder, they are ALSO responsible for the part they played. In disputes between married couples, the problem can never be...

    Self-defense

    From a secular self defense aspect, a gun CAN help... but it guarantees the conflict WILL escalate to a life or death situation. Even in most break ins, people don't break in TO murder you... they break in to steal a TV or some liquor. They usually WANT to avoid you... but if you pop out with a...

    Self-defense

    I'm an idiot. If I happen to pass along a lesson he taught me at an applicable time, it's him showing off that he can even make ME make some sense sometimes.

    That, my dear, is called "deflection."

    Taboo Thread. Out of fear to discuss it.

    Yes. It's a product of the current political environment in the US. It's FAR right wing political propaganda. Essentially, he's making the case that taxes are inherently immoral... Unless it goes to military spending. Because the sanctity of life STRICTLY ends at birth.

    Porn in marriage

    1- called it. 2- do you see that you two SHARE that philosophy? 3- not all gender stereotypes are fair... but one trait is EXTREMELY common to it's unique gender and it constantly drives wedges between people: how the two genders address problems. When TYPICAL men see a problem, they weigh the...
