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.
Better to be single?

Unhappily married is definitely the worst.
I think happily single is better than happily married though. It's a great moment when you can find happiness in being alone.
I've been all of those things listed. Happily single is where it's at. So few singles ever reach that moment because of the preoccupation of needing to get married.

I am too weak, or I have a brain disease, or there's something terribly wrong with me but I can never be happy, content, or even at peace while being single. Not when everyone else around me seems to have someone.
Yet this is my destiny in life it seems. I've tried for a decade now and I've failed to find a relationship, and I've tried even harder to be ok with that fact and I've failed even worse.

As I heard someone once say:
"It is better to be single wishing you were married than married wishing you were single."
Everyone has a different life, and I'm not sure that you could make a blanket statement about which is better for every single person, but as for me, I prefer being single than marriage to any of the candidates I've met so far.
Plus, it allows me the freedom to do what I want with my life and the time to devote to the study of God's Word.
