  • 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

    God In The Holocaust

    The proverbial stumbling question for all humanity. Have studied the issue as am Holocaust scholar. This is the closest I can get to an answer. The word "chosen" translates to "burden." Just because one is chosen as special does not imply life is w/o struggle. The burden as far as the...

    Will Bernie Sanders' long-ago praise of Socialist regimes hurt Democrats in November?

    Can anyone name any piece of legislation that he has passed of significance. No. See people follow politiicians by their name recognition on the senate floor. Being a loud mouth does not a statesman make. Most of these people have not passed a single major act that has benefitted the majority...

    Yale study shows medicare for all will save billions of dollars, and many lives

    Why do you people put your faith in politicians? They are pandering for votes. They are not God. This is an area I have some occupational expertise in. Medicare is on the verge of insolvency so why would adding more people make it better. It will not prevent 68,000 more deaths because the...

    How can we level the playing field of success.

    Equality & equity are 2 different things. The basic problem in today's political debate on the social justice thing is this: some people are looking for guaranteed outcomes & no politician can promise or do that. To do so would dumb down any sense of work ethic or standard. This is what...

    Is trickle down a policy, or a fact of economics.

    It's not a scientific law of economic science rather it is more of a hopeful moral concept that will not come with all mankind. Now in smaller terms, some corporations pay their people good salaries & have sorts of fringe benefits, some even discount company products to them, or do some profit...

    Saved or unsaved

    Jesus said on the cross, "It is finished." If it were not finished then for all generations to come, then our faith is in vain & that it's finished stuff is a lie. Mankind is fallible & always will be. The excepted few who will not be saved I believe are those that try to usurp the realm of...

    Trump on a pardoning rampage: Blagojevich, Milken, NYPD commish, former Niners owner...

    All Presidents do pardons as is their right under Article 2 of the Constitution. The media will make it sound like he is letting Satan out of jail. These guys are white collar felons.

    Will Bernie Sanders' long-ago praise of Socialist regimes hurt Democrats in November?

    Bernie is more than a socialist. He is a communist-politically & very much economically. He justs uses the democratic label to caucus. If he used communist, people would flee. They should flee now but voters fall for false labels & false idols.

    Clint Eastwood backs Mike Bloomberg, wishes Trump would be 'more genteel' in office

    I think people are surprised but this I can gather. Clint still prefers capitalism. His criticism of Trump is valid & he is not a sycophant. Some of what Trump does reflects the growing up in Queens, perhaps poor parenting, ego, his desire to win & entertain. But I honestly think Trump has...

    Why hasn't Jesus come back yet?

    I wonder the same thing every day. How much more worse can civilization get? Thus I have conjured that the 2nd coming is not a physical one but rather a spiritual one. The fact is human beings live in natural tension. I don't see any one of us in the world having some kind of epiphany & we...

    Why does God allow suffering? Good suffering or bad suffering?

    The $64,000 question. I don't for the life of me understand why bad things happen to ordinary people & most times the outcomes are bad. We have such a violent world, a corrupt world, & those who have committed the highest usurpation of power, nothing seems to happen to them for us to witness...

    The soul flees to God

    I lost my sister-in-law 2 nights ago (11/4/19) after a 3 and a half year battle with ALS. She passed away in hospice & she went peacefully. I'm sad i did not get to see her but she had lost a lot of hope with this disease. I am strong enough in my faith to believe the soul flees to God...

    11,000 Scientists

    I think it's both. Factually of course over population puts a strain on utility services. That becomes law of supply and demand thing. The scary thing is "agenda." I remember when the late congresswoman Gerry Ferraro was studying this because she realized the stress placed on any grid--the...

    11,000 Scientists

    Sarcasm here is understandable on this topic but not really applicable to the forum. I have a masters in earth science (my favorite subject since 7th grade). In the last couple years much of the alarmism has been debunked by creditable scientists. Suffice it to say that climate is complex but...
