• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize?

Yet we are all apart of one body. That body is Christ.

Good.

It's about time the Church stopped covering up / condoning / enabling* sexual abuse of children by clergy.
You are assuming he is guilty?

This is sad and unsurprising. I just wish the Holy Ghost or religion in general would actually make people better peeps. What a wonderful world we'd live in.
God has converted many people from scum buckets to decent people. But He doesn't force Himself and His laws on anyone.

I think good people are good despite religion and bad people are bad despite religion. Although some good people do bad things in the name of religion.

And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone."
