• 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.

  • 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

"Metaphorically, freedom in its essence is the acceptance of the chains which suit you, and for which you are suited and a harness in which you pull towards the end chosen and valued by yourself, and not imposed. It is not, and never can be, the absence of restrictions, obligations or law and of duty."

---Bronislaw Malinowski

" I have no need to see and to test in order to be set free. I am free even in the confusion of servitude. I enjoy freedom of the future, generations in advance. And when I die, I shall die a free man, for I have fought for freedom my whole life long."

---Nikos Kazantzakis, FREEDOM OR DEATH

"At that instant he saw, in one blaze of light, an image of unutterable conviction, the reason why the artist works and lives and has his being--the reward he seeks--the only reward he really cares about, without which there is nothing. It is to snare the spirits of mankind in nets of magic, to make his life prevail through his creation, to wreak the vision of his life, the rude and painful substance of his own experience, into the congruence of blazing and enchanted images that are themselves the core of life, the essential pattern whence all other things proceed, the kernel of eternity."


From Of Time and the River~Thomas Wolfe

"Nothing in this world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one Spirit meet and mingle.

---Shelley

"Sing again, with your dear voice revealing a tone,
Of some world far from ours,
Where music and moonlight and feeling are one."

---Shelley
