  • 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

    If one has a lifespan cap of 50-60 years, how would you live life differently

    Hello folks. Philosophy is a subject that I am not that good at, but it is still fascinating, especially when thinking of sci-fi or fiction ideas that try to stick to reality as much as possible. So, here is the question: You are an alien species of the Vishar people living on a distant world...

    The AI has learned Medicine: Ask it some questions about medical science or psychology

    Adjusting our speak for the other sex?

    Should men purposefully and willfully change they way they speak when speaking to women and vice versa? Or should they be themselves and speak as they normally would to any human. I'm not talking about topical stuff. Obviously in general men and women do have different interests, jsut sit in on...

    Replication Crisis in Psychology

    Is there a replication crisis in psychology? I have been tracking this for a few years, and I would say there is. One of the things that worries me is that in some Christians circles there is already a tendency of incredulity towards science. (That might be the friendly way to put it.) I try to...

    Why Buddhism Is True (by Robert Wright)

    I recently read the book "Why Buddhism Is True" by Robert Wright. In the book, he outlines why and how various ideas in Buddhism align very well with modern psychology and neurology. As we learn more about how the brain functions, it seems that science regularly confirms some basic notions of...

    Is "Christian Counseling" really Christian?

    Is "Christian Counseling" really Christian? If psychological counseling is Christian then why has it only recently appeared (last 100 years or less)? And, why was it only discovered by atheist and then adapted for Christian use?

    Christians and Psychology

    I am a Christian and I love psychology. I know that some Christians take offense to this, my own father included, and I'm curious why. Why is it so controversial for a Christian to be interested in psychology? Is it somehow wrong for us to investigate how the brain works?

    Jordan Peterson. Do you love him? Do you hate him? Have you heard of him?

    Jordan Peterson, a clinical psychologist from University of Toronto, has been lecturing about ideas that are building a bridge between science and religion. Lately for reasons totally unrelated to this he has become a YouTube sensation. I've been following his lectures online from the days he...
