  • 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.

    Stopped believing God cares

    I’m a Christian, but I feel as if I’m doing everything wrong. I was raised in a Christian family and have been a Christian for six years. But I’m pretty much convinced that the only difference between believers and non-believers is that we go to heaven when we die. In the end, all faith is is...

    Fear of food (help)

    Well, sort of. It's more a fear of the OT laws and what they say about pork and other unclean animals. I can't tell if it's still in affect. SO MANY people say you CAN eat pork. SO MANY say that you can't. Both arguments seem to have good points and make sense. So just don't eat bacon then...
