  • 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 Hollywood (USA) movie "Celebrity" (1998) explores the civilization psyche perspective of humanity caught up in the consumerism phenomena of fame and the fantasies and anxieties regarding self-idealization it creates on an emotional level.

When American teenager Amy Fisher was involved in an illicit extra-marital affair with Italian-American married man Joey Buttafuoco that resulted in the murder attempt of Buttafuoco's wife, why did the media publicize the scandal so widely?

How should modern society react to instincts about fame and infamy? How should we respond to the consumer optimism in iconography artifacts such as the video game "Diner Dash" (GameLab) and the Food Network American culture TV show "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" (Guy Fieri)?

How did Jesus remind us of the spiritual value of contemplating lust for wealth and fame in times of aspiration obstacles or suffering humiliation?
