  • 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

    What were they supposed to do? They had to protect their God-given right to own black people.

    Nero: A Complete and utter psycopath

    From the readings I've done it seems like our thoughts on Nero are somewhat overly negative. Compared to other Roman readers he certainly doesn't seem that brutal.

    Well I would certainly say that any schooling that would leave you open to thinking the statements you made were true failed you abysmally.

    Maine Senate Passes Same-Sex Marriage Bill

    America was not founded on slavery, slavery existed in America during the founding of that country. But it would be ignorant to say that there was not disputes over this during the founding and continuously afterward until the Civil War. Compare this to the Confederacy, which by admission of...

    Maine Senate Passes Same-Sex Marriage Bill

    If that was the only alternative to supporting a government founded on completely immoral principles then yes. I'd like to see actual evidence for the claim about civil unions. Many of the states that banned same-sex marriage also banned other unions that give the same rights as marriage...

    Maine Senate Passes Same-Sex Marriage Bill

    There would be nothing to prevent this. Also I don't know how much of a problem the slavery thing would be for him since he's a Confederate apologist. This just seems to be the South (and Utah) being angry that whenever the rest of the country comes to their senses and makes progress on some...

    Maine Senate Passes Same-Sex Marriage Bill

    I think this whole post has more to do with the fact that it is easier to act insulted than actually address the points. This meshes will with how you often ignore evidence about the reasons the South seceded and the racism that existed as a part of Southern culture.

    Maine Senate Passes Same-Sex Marriage Bill

    No, the reality is that there have always been plenty of couples to marry who cannot or will not produce children. This is contradictory to the idea of marriage being about reproduction. If it is about reproduction then those people would not be let in until science advances sufficiently to...

    Maine Senate Passes Same-Sex Marriage Bill

    Cornerstone Speech by Alexander H. Stephens Slavery had an economic element, denying that it had any relation to racism and that there is a connection between slavery and the racism of the South is ignoring history. I would also take issue with the idea that slavery was on it's way out in the...

    Maine Senate Passes Same-Sex Marriage Bill

    Yeah, there was absolutely no racism in the South when they thought it was fine to enslave a group of people based on their race.

    Maine Senate Passes Same-Sex Marriage Bill

    Except that we have couples who cannot not biologically produce children who marry and remain married now. If the only reason for marriage was to produce children biologically this would be the case. So no, still no valid reason against same-sex marriage.

    Maine Senate Passes Same-Sex Marriage Bill

    Yes, minorities that are discriminated against tend to make progress over time. Blacks went from being enslaved to wanting "equal rights". Next thing you know they're going to be marrying our women. If you have an actual reason for something to be banned then it will stand the test of time...

    What about pansexuality?

    The problem is that we commonly use a binary system for sexes. It may not be accurate, but I don't think there are more than two recognized sexes to create exclusionary categories for bisexuals.

    Homosexuals and Bisexuals

    Secular is not pro-atheist. Promoting atheism would be teaching kids there is no higher power, no soul, no afterlife, etc. Not making any statements for or against is neutral on the matter is the only way to have fairness. But of course it seems you don't want freedom of religion, you want to...

    What about pansexuality?

    I think most bisexuals would accurately fit the definition of pansexual. But because the term bisexual is more commonly known, the binary concept of gender, and negative connotations that some have with pansexual the term bisexual is used. I realize it may not be the most accurate method, but...
