  • 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

    Well, I'm making a political split

    To be clear I'm not becoming Conservative or any ive or ism for that matter. I'm going to divorce myself from politics for a bit. I felt like the Holy Spirit (or my conscience, or something) is telling me to back away and focus on Christ. For the record I still have love for all my Liberal...

    Losing Faith Somewhat As I Become More Theologically Liberal.....

    As crazy as this might sound, deciding to be a non-literalist actually helped my faith. I think for a lot of people tend to be black and white thinkers. I'm pretty much the opposite. I see the beauty in Christianity and the moral to the stories. It doesn't really matter if the stories are 100%...

    My assumption about Liberal/Progressive Christians.

    You see what you just did there? You used stereotypes. MUSLIMS are prepared to die to resist change. Something I talked about in the last post. All Muslims aren't coming to get you. You're feeding into the lies that make the machine move. What in fact makes homosexuality lascivious? What makes...

    My assumption about Liberal/Progressive Christians.

    Satire what is it? In the modern day Republican Politicians advocate war to feed the industrial machine on a level that's far greater than warranted. A war for self-defense is not the same thing as pushing a military complex down people's throats. Also, please explain to me what the Romans...

    My assumption about Liberal/Progressive Christians.

    Well, since we're talking about stereotypes allow me to talk about how many people on the left view Conservative Christians... First off, many Progressive/Liberal Christians don't understand how the two words could even go together. Conservatives have a love of war and money that seems to be...

    Change in CF rules

    Well, I'm in the American South. While I don't dispute those numbers, it certainly seems different here.lol

    Change in CF rules

    I still don't understand how homosexuality is the great sin that divides the Christian Church. I'm convinced you can do just about everything else and be accepted in most churches. Very odd. I really think murderers are more likely to be welcomed in than homosexuals in committed relationships...

    I'm grateful for...

    I realized a lot of times when I post here, I just go on and on about how everything should be more progressive ( I still think it should ;) ) . However, I'd like to quickly say I'm grateful all of you have been here throughout the years. Also, to the new people who have recently come in and...

    Change in CF rules

    Move in a positive direction. For a long time I've felt like LGBT Christians are marginalized here. Bothered me greatly. Wanted everyone to be able to participate in this great forum.

    Overlooked positions

    I was really thinking about it and most of my stances beyond a few aren't that different from our Conservative brothers and sisters. Many I've met are for loving their neighbor, spreading hope, and trusting in Christ. Very thought provoking post Qyot. I'm going to think on this and repost.

    I'm gonna fourth this. Jesus is of love, why wouldn't he love the Trans community?

    why do other liberals oppose death penalty?

    I'm Liberal and I support the death penalty for the most part. I do feel like its used unfairly. A bit racist. But the concept that certain very violent people that may hurt children are put to death? I'm okay with that for the most part.

    I'm Imagining a different forum.....

    Reddit is actually a pretty amazing place. They have so many subforums, almost anything that interests you is there. I read Radical Christianity from time to time. Really good subreddit. BTW I don't pay anything. I do fine without the enhanced membership.
