• 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

The trend today is finally returning to natural decomposition of the dead as done throughout history including in the time of Jesus, only this time to replenish the soil man has destroyed. A fitting payback and a more practical solution.

What is different about replenishing the soil by unburned vs burned decomposition? It all returns, one way or another. But if I am wrong, how does it really make any difference? Or is the symbolism the point?

To me, it is no big deal one way or the other.

A great option! That is the only time I'd like to go to Liberal Washington or Oregon! :).

Matter of choice yes but one is organic vs the carbon foot print involved and not much fertility and life in ashes. 3-4 hours of increasingly expensive gas emissions vs natural microbes.
You seem to think 'the carbon footprint' (whatever that is) is unavoidably permanent and detrimental.

Eventually, it all returns to the earth.

Only part of this worlds falseness.

Truth cannot die,
so neither anyone who is one with truth,

they cannot die, they pass on, they are still active in the world,
only moreso.

So it is a matter of, goodbye and cheerio let the dead bury the dead.
