  • 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

    Snow

    Has anyone read Orhan Pamuk's novel Snow? I haven't finished it yet, but the plot revolves around tensions between the secular, non secular moderate and fundamentalist religious groups in Turkish society. From what I've read so far there are parallels with the current political/social divide in...

    Horror Literature & Film Forum

    I realize that many Christians think that Horror is not of God, but there are those of us who are forced to disagree even if we solely base our understanding on the book of Revelation. In the English language, during the latter part of the 18th century through about the middle of the 20th, a...

    After hearing Dylan's Nobel Lecture in Literature;

    “It doesn't matter what it means.”, seems to me a lowly view. A man may sublimely sing and to the party his talents bring But if his view is such a thing, It means to me he prizes not What is true and what he's got. ><> Does it matter?
