• 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

An interesting idea.

I've been thinking about this idea for about 6 months and only told a few people - 2 have agreed with me (both agnostic/atheist) and one, did not like the idea at all.. (she, likes the idea of spirituality but doesnt really follow anything)..

Here goes...
Firstly, think about all the decisions you have made in your life - Or a few you have made just then, like clicking on this topic.
Were they the best decisions you could have made with the information you had at that particular time?
What I'm getting at here is how we as animals - or mammals - or primates - or humans make choices.
If you could hypothetically go back in time and have your memory of that time erased, would you make the exact same choices as you did the first time?
My feeling is you would.

I personally have made the best possible choices with the information i have had. - And I would, given the same information make those same choices again.
Obviously it would be impossible to recreate the EXACT same situation twice, but it is an interesting concept in my opinion.

In conclusion (this is where some of you won't like this): We have no choices. We as animals will always choose the best option, or the option we think is best at that time.
Would you if you could go back, click on this topic again? Would you make the same choice?
