  • 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 was told by christians animals dont go to heaven, but i belive they do, god wouldnt create a living breathing and thinking creature without having some sort of reward for it service a purpose on earth...
My opinion they go to heaven, they certainly dont go to hell

My best friend died of complications from the flu last year. :sigh: She firmly believed that there was a "Rainbow" bridge which the animals pass over when they go to wait for loved ones in heaven. I am believing she is reunited with all her loved ones now including her animal friends.

Last summer I thought of her and the rainbow bridge. We were traveling along a small two way winding highway on the way to our cabin. As we came within a quarter mile or so of the bridge over a small stream (and it was beginning to rain) we saw a rainbow actually hovering over the bridge. I thought of my friend and the "Rainbow bridge." I was blessed and I also believe my feline friends who have passed on went over the bridge and someday along with many loved ones I will be greeted by them after I pass over the rainbow bridge. :angel:

I agree! There's a book called "The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats." It's good but the author does make you feel guilty if you keep your cat inside all the time. Anyway, he related an anecdote about a vet friend of his whose client wanted him to put down her perfectly healthy cat because she was havign a dinner party and didn't want the cat jumping on the table. Yeah, I was shocked too.

The vet doesn't do it, and the cat somehow escaped from the office and found it's way home. Because the cat didn't know that his nasty owner didn't want him. So the lady brought the cat back and screamed at the vet: you better do it this time! The vet wouldn't do it, but found a family to adopt the cat. So it all turned out fine in the end. (I hope the vet billed that nasty woman for the procedure anyway!) But some people!!! Not too bright or downright cruel!
