  • 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.

My own version of an old joke!

St Peter was showing a bunch of newbies around Heaven's facilities. They passed the wine tasters appreciatively sipping that year's vintage of Chateau Heaven, a crowd of excited people were busy placing their bets around the gaming tables, an Archangel in charge of the roulette wheel. The homosexual newbies were introduced to the Gay bar, which delighted them, and so on. Eventually they came to an impenetrable wall, with a tiny spy hole through which people were encouraged to peep. There were folk sitting on fluffy white clouds, strumming harps and singing praises. When questioned as to whom they might be, St Peter smiled and said that they were the fundies who didn't think there was anyone in heaven but them, and it wasn't kind to disillusion them. :D

Heard that one before, instead of fundies there were catholics in that version of the joke ;) But you can take any kind of denomination I think!

I heard Baptists, but then, I live in a predominately Baptist area.

You can substitute anyone one you like for fundies, it just points up how silly it is for one group of people to think they have the monopoly on heaven.

Well you can't really blame those who read the Bible to voice what the Bible tells us can you? ;)

No, there's a difference in fundamentalists and conservatives.

Conservatives think the Bible is the dictated word of God.

FunDies are complete *******s about it.

Another joke!

A man is fishing in the ocean and his boat capsizes. As he tries to keep above the water, he prays for God to save him. Pretty soon a helicopter hovers over him and they lower a ladder. The man yells for them to go away because he is confident that God will save him. A rescuer even climbs down the ladder to help, but the man refuses. Soon the helicopter is low on fuel and must return to base.

The man drowns.

When he gets to heaven he is called in to God's office and he asks God, "didn't you hear my prayers? Why didn't you save me?"

God replies, "who do you think sent the helicopter?"
