  • 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

CV NEWS FEED // The Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University has found that millions of religious people, most of whom are Christian, report that they will not vote in November’s election.

The study relates that only 51% of “people of faith,” including Christians, Muslims, Jews, Mormons, and other religious groups, plan on voting. This means that approximately 104 million religious people will not vote.

The study explained that of religious Americans, 83% are Christian.

Among Christians, it is estimated that 46 million church-attending Protestants and 19 million church-attending Catholics will not participate in the election.

I recently heard the statistic, that 1 out of 3 Christians vote.
That really surprised me, so this article now does not.

I am 1 of the 3, but I also understand the thinking that we are to be in the world but not of the world.
(I just don't apply it to my decision to vote.)

And that is precisely what Satan wants them to do: stay home, so the amoral population is the only one with any voting pull. :mad:

Very sad. It's also sad that we live in a country where we're allowed to vote in elections, and people don't bother. Maybe if they lived in some repressive regime like Iran or North Korea, they might appreciate the privileges they have here more. :(

Agreed. The last few years have made me decide to vote in every election.
