  • 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.

So am I, but before we get into any sort of discussion it's probably best to state what kinds of metal you're into. For me it's traditional, prog and power metal - in particular nothing with growling vocals (which I don't like).

*pulls up chair on the sidelines, takes a seat, and opens a Jones and waits for the rivalry of "that's not cool enough to be part of my scene/genre" grudge match to begin.*
Geez, we haven't one of these in like a whole month and a half. I'm so excited! *sips Jones* Life is good.


I like some hardcore, metal, and dare I say it screamo music... but I'm just here to watch. Carry on.

Mike Portnoy (Drummer) and Jordan Ruddess (Keyboardist) are both non-practicing Jews. John Petrucci (Guitarist) is Catholic, though I don't think he is practicing. James LaBrie (singer) hasn't really espoused any religious beliefs, and John Myung (bassist) hasn't said much about Faith either.

They do have a few religious allusions in some of their songs (Voices, In the Name of God, etc.) but many times those allusions tend to be more observational or critical in nature.

But they are definitely not a religious-oriented band.
