  • 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

    Not sure what to believe anymore

    Thank you all for your replies. I'm feeling better about the whole thing today. I think the reason I felt so bad yesterday was because I bought the God Delusion. I felt this intense guilt, not because I thought God would be angry with me, but because I was afraid that my parents would be. I...

    Not sure what to believe anymore

    I was raised in a fundementalist, Pentecostal, Christian household. I believed in a literal Genesis (creationism, Noah's Ark, etc) until around my late teens, when I began to learn more about science. I accepted evolution, etc and my beliefs in a literal Genesis fell away. However, it hasn't...

    Assuming MMR vaccines do cause autism - is autism so bad that you would rather your child die from measles, mumps or rubella than have autism?

    Doomed for Eternity!!

    But how are people supposed to "accept salvation" when they don't have any reason to believe that they need saved from anything.

    Does pro homosexuality mean pro abortion?

    Perhaps this is the supposed link?

    how do you define a fundie (conservative Christian)?

    It involves using logic and reason... A concept which no doubt seems foreign to you.

    Response to the current CF crackdown by conservatives

    This seems like a fun game - annoying fundies until you get banned 8) To be honest, a lot of fundies here are like mindless drones, unable to think for themselves, and instead must recite Bible verses to support their "argument". They're like members of the Borg collective "you must comply"...

    Tyra Banks : Evil Filth/Evil Woman

    So using your logic we shouldn't try to help children with leukaemia, Thalidomide babies or babies suffering from Erythroblastosis Fetalis, because God created them that way, and that is how they should stay. Another tactic used by fundies such as Renton and co involves running off to the Bible...

    Tyra Banks : Evil Filth/Evil Woman

    In Renton's world anything that is different, or that he is simply not used to, is evil. It makes life wonderfully simple - you never have to think about anything, because if you don't like it then it's evil. God is against anything evil and they will burn in hell for all eternity. Gay =...

    The Cure.

    So you would prefer them to die from Measles, Mumps or Rubella, than to have autism? Not to mention the impact on herd immunity.

    Ask someone who was "cured" of autism

    Why would you need cured from something that is not a disease?

    Exam Anxiety

    Last Christmas I took an overdose because I could not cope with the stress of my university exams. I was allowed to resit them in the summer, but anxiety took over again and I couldn't sit them. So I was allowed to repeat the semester. Now I'm back in the exam period and feeling anxious yet...

    Harry Potter is vile: This is why...

    The Golden Compass is about how the church suppresses knowledge (and people in general). The church wants to sever the link between humans and their daemons because think dust is original sin, and that daemons attract dust. However, dust is what allows humans to gain knowledge, and is a part...
