• 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.

Been fun

Oh behave! Is there a rationale for this change I can read anywhere?

The rationale is simple. The ownership of this site decided that Christian only forums align with LeeD's vision for this site. Also, many Christians members requested this change. Personally, I think that we do need areas where we can edify, teach, and debate each other (Christians). There are over 250 forums in CF and this policy affects only about 50 so the majority of the site is still available to all.

To be frank, I've had plenty of trouble and painful moments from Christian brothers and sisters here, and almost none from non-Christians. The non-Christians who do find their way into this forum are either so openly belligerent that nobody plays with them and they slink off after a while, or often far more mature and sensitive to Christian sensitivities than some of the Christian hardliners on both sides. (Then again, I haven't seen any non-Christian creationists around here, so this may full well be just a result of my position.)

I feel the same. When some rude atheists came to this forum, they seems talk more reasonably. Not sure why.
