• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Yeah, right -- when was the last time you saw an Onion article that wasn't true?  It's says right at the top, "America's Finest News Source".  It must be true!

Wow.  So only the truly dull and mindless are welcome in heaven, eh? 

Well, I suppose if you're insecure about your position, you don't want the people around you showing you up... :)

Well, I can't give much advice, but I think the pointy-end of the wedge should be some books directed at a popular audience, along with a suggestion that school boards "teach the controversy."

Just use one of Darwin's dusty old books. Then if anyone says that Darwin's books are not any good for anything, you can testify that you found a good use for it.

There's a thought...

Do you suppose his descendants would allow me to borrow one of his old books?  They're probably in a museum by now, anyway.
