  • 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

    Why don't men wear engagement rings?

    In Sweden, both the man and the woman wears an engagement ring (usually it is "only" a gold ring without big diamonds in it), but at the wedding, only the woman gets a new ring.

    How can I politely turn down this dinner invite?

    (I do realize that the response has already been sent, so the exercise is now purely of academic interest, but anyhow...) One possible way out of it (with the main goal of avoiding awkwardness) would be to say something like "Thanks for the invite, but I am having dinner/watching a...

    What does your CF screen name mean?

    Well, I'm Swedish, but last spring I spent six months at UCSB in California. After a while I started growing a beard that with time became pretty large. One of the leaders in the Christian campus group I was involved with thought that (due to me being Scandinavian) I looked like a Viking with...

    What I love about Singlehood

    Or, as it says on one of the "demotivators" (I just love those things) from despair.com: "Whatever doesn't kill you only postpones the inevitable". :D And... To avoid be completely off topic, I should probably list a good thing about being single as well. * I can be sure that I will only...

    Just Wondering ... ... ...

    Not for me at least. While I won't deny that outer apperance usually is what makes the first impression, I find intelligence very attractive in a girl. Though, I guess it would actually be good if the above was generally true, as that would leave more smart girls for me and guys like Iggster. :D
