  • 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

    *wanders in Hi lovelies. :) It has been forever since I've been around. I don't think I know anyone in this thread any more, besides April and Becky. It is nice to meet all the rest of you--although I wish it were in a happier thread. :hug:s for everyone. I am such a mess right now...

    Failure.

    argh. after a long absence from CF, I hath returned. And I'm not in a good state. =( Being at home this holiday break has been pretty much emotional torture. For reasons I don't care to explain here. But, it hasn't been easy/fun/relaxing enjoyable, being home. It has been a struggle...

    Study: Tolerance Can Lower Gay Kids' Suicide Risk

    It ain't easy living with parents who insist on trying to change you and make you a good right-wing heterosexual evangelical Christian again--even if it's only when school's not in session. =/ It sure makes recovery from SI more difficult...

    Gay Marriage... it's about love.

    Okay. so. I understand where you're coming from with the first bit. I think you're wrong, because I think you're taking the verses that support what you say out of context, but I understand where you're coming from. BUT. the second thing you said...what? references? When in all of...

    My neighbor has many faces...

    My neighbor is my roommate, whose constant desire to talk about a certain issue is annoying me. My neighbor is the "church boy" who swore at me, and told me he assumed that I was "at least pretending to be Christian" when he found out I voted against the constitutional...

    How much personal Sexual freedom should we have?

    1. Yes. I believe that sexuality is intended to be life-giving (broadly meant. Not, like literally making a baby. But giving life to the people involved in the actions). I absolutely believe that people can and do abuse their sexual freedom--resulting in situations which are not...

    I'm in a lesbian relationship and I need your prayer.

    =) I concur. You are loved by the one who created you to be you. I am a gay woman myself and this is something that I still struggle to realize and accept. My heart goes out to you. I pray that you will come to know yourself and love yourself as God loves you. And that you will have only...

    I'd love to hear your two cents...

    Hi hi hi. I have sort of the opposite problem. My parents are wonderful people, who happen to be dreadfully conservative and who desire my sister and I to follow in their footsteps and become affluent middle class members of society. :P I am a ridiculously left-leaning girl who has a hard...

    Questions for Quakers

    Why do the meetings have "monthly" in their name? They still meet every Sunday, even if it says "monthly," right? :scratch: What should I "expect" at a meeting? What sort of dress is considered appropriate? Are jeans and a t-shirt fine or should I put on something little nicer or do the...

    Liberation Theology

    Anyone else in here interested in liberation theology? I'm just starting to get acquainted with it--so far it seems to line up wonderfully with my beliefs about the gospel and social justice. I'm currently going through a book by a South African liberation theologian on being a socially...
