• 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

How come?

(I never pay attention.)

.

Debate with anyone who is not a conservative can only happen in the debate subforum here. And it is off-topic to this thread.

I split out the posts by non members and any posts regarding other sites into a new thread in the debate subforum so that non-christians can join the discussion.


thank you =)

I don't think I'll be joining in on that - at least today.
I don't see much point in it hardly anymore. Talking doesn't change the core issues, they remain the same.
It just becomes "how you repeat the same thing" this time. If you say it nicer or ......??? :scratch:

It seems all they try to do is get us to see "why" they believe the way they do - or justify their reasonings... great.
It changes nothing tho. At some point it just doesn't matter to keep rehashing it & they seem to always want to do just that.

But I'm glad if people want to go thru all this again that they can now.
thank you RMW
:hug:

Am getting tired of seeing all the "guests" and non-CCs swarming in every time there's even a hint of drama or controversy, so am not gonna post here for a little while. Clearly we're being linked wherever, and being discussed and gossiped about is horrible horrible so am gonna take a break from CC.

I hope to see some of you around, though, cos I love y'all very, very much :hug:

Don't go. This is the only area I feel at home in. My fellows over in OBOB are going over to the dark side (Liberalism). The theology section thinks Catholics are Pagans. LOL. You guys are cool. (I just got to follow the conversation better.)

Honestly GM, let them.

I dont' care. This is part of being a Christian and it will be everywhere you go in ANY FORUM venue. The agenda is obvious.

Frankly I don't care, the more they attack me, the more blessed I am.
Thank you Lord! :bow::bow::bow:
It's an HONOUR for me to be bashed for Christ's name. & that's the only reason they attack - if we weren't traditional Christians who take God's word seriously for what it says and stand firm on it & proclaim it without compromise, we'd be their best buddies (well, personality clashes aside) lol

John 15
18"If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.
19"If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.
20"Remember the word that I said to you, 'A slave is not greater than his master ' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.
----------

Count it all joy. Many Christians in past history and in other parts of the world today have ALOT heavier persecution that includes physical torture, imprisonment and other serious hardships - if this is all we have to endure, it's a drop in the bucket.

Yer doin' it wrong. TalkRational.
I've never gone there before, but when I Googled it, a Rodent is the graphic, so talkRAT is basically appropriate... ;)

and here's a thread topic of these free thinkers:
"Physical Objects do not Exist".
Thankfully I found a sane person in there that set them straight lol.

The religious areas look more nonChristian & hostile to Christianity in the threads I browsed - not shocking. I noticed some of the names from UC.
:yawn:

People are BENT against Christianity - it's amazing the hostility and time people put into fighting God. All to no avail - judgment awaits despite the attacks and anger.

The posters are TalkRats. The forum is TalkRational. It's a freethought forum, with a strong secular presence. We have quite a few theists who post there as well. It's interesting to watch the POMOs, literalists, doctrinists and others debate on a level playing field. Leaves many folks scratching their heads.

TR is apparently the new home of the IIDB/CF threads. We're doing our best to make them/us welcome.

I just noticed the name was wrong in this thread, and thought I'd help point it out.

No problem =)
I didn't know about it & just noticed the rat thingy on there.

But I definitely noticed it's more secular - usually when you read "freethinker", it means people are free of God ultimately.
Imho, it's born again Christians who are the true freethinkers - they don't follow the majority and march to the beat of a different drum.

TalkRat is how it is termed on other boards (like Uber).

Another thing that happens is that the liberal Christians like to come here and read things and take them out of context, as Rochir did up above (post 121) and then they go to a private thread on another board (now it's at TalkRat) and talk about us. Just so you know. It's not a problem that CF can fix, but some of the senior staff participate in that thread, and don't care that they talk about us in that fashion.

It wasn't Rochir who quoted you at TalkRational. It was me.

I'm sorry.
