  • 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.

    What is Autism/Asperger’s Syndrome?

    I find it incredible that autism can go undetected throughout years into adulthood. I am going to get a referal to see a psychologist this week. I really think I suffer from it aswell.

    Sometimes I think my life seems longer from the more I can remember, it frightens me that.

    I think that happens to me because my knowing my age becomes something I say on autopilot. I get a laugh out of it, on one hand you answer immediately so you don't look silly, on the other you can get it wrong and look sillier :D

    26 goin on 27, I think 30 and 40 are getting too close for comfort.

    Thanks everyone, I think I was having a mild midlife crisis of sorts. From what I can gather here, it's normal to feel differently about life as you age and your life changes in ways that reflect this, and it's a waste of effort being concerned about things that can't be changed.

    Hey, you know the time you were young, thinking all these grown ups, your mum, dad, and their friends, and your friends parents were all old? Then you get to a certain age and you think 'I don't feel any different, what is this oldness supposed to be like'? Then you're in your twenties and...

    Our Lord does reveal himself in mysterious ways, and also powerfully.

    I think a person who experiences a lot of difficulties might look for better ways. I suppose the context of the quote above revolves around ideas that oppose faith though. If people were responsible for that difficulty then I would try to change to make life easier, the interactions less...

    Our Lord does reveal himself in mysterious ways, and also powerfully.

    Thankyou Michael, I'm still adjusting a little bit. I'm not used to considering life from God's perspective. I need to straighten out my life and stop drinking so much, then again I'm not sure about that either. Just this morning I was thinking about Genesis and the story of Adam and Eve. I...

    Our Lord does reveal himself in mysterious ways, and also powerfully.

    I don't know whether I was running away as such more struggling to find proof. It's funny actually, that proof is the one thing I don't think I could handle. On the other hand I don't think I'll feel like I'm running about without a direction anymore. Thankyou, God bless.

    Our Lord does reveal himself in mysterious ways, and also powerfully.

    I have changed my beliefs so rapidly in the last few days. It has been miraculous to say the least. I first joined CF as an agnostic atheist with the intention of understanding proper conduct (or acceptable conduct) of my own in order to maintain healthy relationships with others of different...

    Difficult talking with theists!!

    I understand you mean that it's a sensitive topic between people of different opinions and beliefs. While a nonbeliever wants to feel their independence is respected, so does a theist want their beliefs respected. In the mix of discussing it can seem like a struggle to assert one's own views...

    I understand your response. Thankyou for being honest.

    Difficult talking with theists!!

    Ok, I think the reason for this is because occasionally I have the pleasure of being patient with people who have a foul attitude.

    What do christians think of atheists?

    That's what I'm doing already. You sound very defeatest here. As though it's all over and no effort will improve the situation. If as you say that God wants me to KNOW him and to let me choose to do so, why with all the power he's meant to possess can't he let me know he's there himself? I...
