  • 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 feel that, in our society, virtue has become degenerated from something that is valued in itself to something valued as a rhetorical tool. We have developed into a sort of 'hype culture' where a virtuous action is principally...

    Virtue Ethics and Care Ethics

    Does anyone know of people integrating a virtue ethics and a care ethics? I don't think we can come up with a comprehensive set of 'rules' adequate to life. Which means it is more about orientation and commitment. I think we should be able to elaborate a Christian virtue ethics and...

    Disgust for "Church Youth" groups

    Some little background: I was born and grew up in a Christian family, and while we did have some testing and difficulties at some point, just like in any family, I never stopped wishing to become a true Christian man, with strong feelings of love and commitment for God and country. Outside...
