  • 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

It has not been a...

    If God made us, why do humans need to be taught by other humans how to hear God?

    -- Pacwa, M (2011). How to Listen When God is Speaking. Frederick, MD: The Word Among Us Press. p. 11. Why is this not practically a stand-alone 'proof by contradiction' argument? It needs only a little fleshing out: If God created us for relationship with Him and intends to speak to us, he...

    Relationship with God

    Hello everyone. I am a 21 y/o girl and I am coming on here to ask for help. I have grown up in an atheist household with a parent and brother. None of my family on this side are religious. However, around a year ago I had an overwhelming feeling and I knew it was a calling from God. Even though...

    A Reminder: Who do we think we are?

    In every conversation that I have read and every conversation in which I have participated here, there is a point-of-view matter I think should be addressed, because we keep missing it. We say, concerning unbelievers, that they don't understand the relationship of believer to God, and we apply...
