• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Interesting to see this:

The most educational excerpt for me, is below:

“People say, ‘Oh, wrestling and Christianity, they’re two fake things in a fake world of their own existence,’” he said. “If you don’t believe in it, of course you will think that of it. But my own personal experience of my Christian faith is that it is alive and living, and it is true. The wrestling world, if you really believe in it, you believe that it’s true and you can suspend your disbelief.


“You suspend it because you want to get lost in it. You want to believe in it. You want to hope for it.”

Reminds me of Santa Claus movies. I'll think there's a tenuous thread of the Lord in there somewhere. His threads have been even more tenuous for many, at times.

Interesting.

Most pro-wrestling angles, matches, story-lines are fairly simple. Its a face (good guy) vs a heel (bad guy) and it revolves around their struggles against each other as told through interviews (promos), matches and occasionally skits.

A number of pro-wrestlers are Christian and there are a small handful of independent pro-wrestling federations that are Christian based.
