  • 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.

Well,I'm not american ,but I would like to say based on brazilian colleges.
I studied in secular school during all my life.
I study in a secular college and I study in a field of enginnering , during my experience I NEVER had a bad experience about my faith.But,for example,the brazilian colleges are full of christian.I already talked with enginners of all kinds,like mechatronic,mechanical,chemical,electrical and so on .
And for me it's easy because I think at least 70%(Based in my experience) of the enginners are christian and probably 93 % believes in a sort of God(Based in my experience).It's extremely common to see people walking with crucifix or saint's image everywhere.
But,as I told before,I live in Brazil.

I go to school in the U.S and it is a secular school. I can say, that although there are Christians in public school many of them are the "go to church once a week, get on God's "good side", and then go on with your life". Also, public school doesn't always hold the same values as a Christian school.
I wish I could go to a Christian school but I don't have the money and there aren't many around. There is always college though. :)

I attend christian school. However, I don't think this prevents me widening my knowledge. My school gives religious advice, but also suggests general moral advice. Students of other religions also attend the school, and we do not get preached at, but are let to draw our own conclusions. I don't think going to a secular school would do too much harm, but I think a common belief allows one to be more open about their views, and issues, without risking bullying etc.
