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.

Ah don't worry about it. I wrote something, didn't like that way it sounded, couldn't think of a better way to word it and so got rid. God has sinced helped me with the answer.
I think I was essentially trying to ask if anyone struggled with there opinion of drink and drunkeness differing from the opinion of their husband/non-believing family etc. For example I used to binge drink at family parties when I was still pagan. Now I'm Christian my beliefs have changed and I think it's fine to drink but not ok to get drunk. This therefore differs from beliefs of various people around me and earlier I was wondering how I'd cope with trying to not drink to much when under pressure to join others in getting plastered. I think it's a bit extreme to go completely tee-total and also this would also give the impression of Christianity as being strict, boring and no fun to those that don't know better. It has since dawned on me that I can drink, get merry and have fun and yet not go overboard and get completely drunk. Therefore striking a balance so that the label of boring doesn't get applied but also so that I don't end up being hypocritical. Lets hope I can put it into practice
