  • 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

    A Lynching Memorial Is Opening. The Country Has Never Seen Anything Like It. I visited Birmingham, AL for the first time last year. I thought the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute was a good museum, I guess I should make my way to Montgomery this year or next year.

    Hoover High School teacher placed on leave for using racial slur in classroom

    Hoover High School teacher placed on leave for using racial slur in classroom I think the funny part about this story is the dispute over whether there was profanity in the song, as if it would suddenly make it okay to shout racial slurs at the students.

    How can supporting Roy Moore be consistent with Christianity?

    I have trouble understanding how people who claim to be strong Christians can support a man like Roy Moore and vote to put him in a position of power. The claims of his accusers seem believable, are corroborated by the testimonies of others, and have supporting evidence such as the yearbook...

    Let's hope Alabamans aren't fooled by Doug Jones' heinous lies

    Doug Jones and ilk have vilified Judge Roy Moore with non-credible sexual assault allegations hoping to sway the Alabama special election. Anyone with an ounce of discernment can see the timing for the "victims" to decry these alleged attacks is highly suspicious. The fact that the woman's...

    Roy Moore is an embarrassment. Doug Jones deserves to win.

    Roy Moore is an embarrassment. Doug Jones deserves to win. Every American should visit the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, they will begin to understand the real threat of terrorism in America and how people like Doug Jones were instrumental to combating that use of fear and violence.
