  • 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.

    I am quite a lonely person and I’m very shy in general. I find it hard to speak to people for the first time and so there’s many people I see everyday who I’ve never spoken too - is this odd or normal?

    Is it ok for christians to go to nightclubs

    I feel like I've really missed out on experiences at university to make friends. I don't drink, talk to women, have good friends. What are your thoughts on going to nightclubs and having a drink or two to become more social and meet new people?
