• 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.

Blame it on the Jet Stream

"Buddha was not a Christian, but Jesus would have made a good Buddhist." Ray Wylie Hubbard

Having studied both extensively... I think that's an overly simplistic analysis. If you want to compare non-Christian religions, I would say that the Hindu philosopher Sri Aurobindo Ghosh, or certain Shinto sects (like Oomoto or Konkokyo), are closer to Jesus' teachings.

You think everyone is being
"overly simplistic".
