  • 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

So a license which can be attained only after meeting stringent criteria should also be required of those who want to be parents. If we don't have a right to...

    Toddlers and Guns

    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36270215 Apparently shootings by toddlers of themselves and others are on the rise in the US. They find guns in drawers and under carseats, easily accessable. What I really find shocking though is that only 28 states can prosecute the gun owner if a...

    What is Considered Honoring Your Mother and Father and What Isn't?

    Let's say there's a Christian kid who seems to have what is considered (a) "toxic" parent(s) and they're hurting/struggling with it. People notice that the kid comes to church alone but when they ask about the parents/kids' family's whereabouts, the kid doesn't say much other than an expression...

The producers wrote a great article about it...

    Is it okay to expose your children to other religions?

    I am the father of a young boy and lately he has taken a liking to the Kung Fu Panda movies. As I have now been repeatedly forced to watch them, I noticed their strong Taoist elements, which I posted in another forum: http://www.christianforums.com/threads/taoism-and-kung-fu-panda.7943291/...

    Parents who don't see they had a role

    It's really sad for me to see when parents don't take any responsibility about how their children turned out. It's even sadder when these parents are very legalistic Christian who you think should know better. If they could humble themselves, and not be so hard, then maybe their kids would not...
