  • 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

"Carlyle said that men were mostly fools. Christianity, with a surer and more relevant realism, said that they were all fools. This doctrine is sometimes called the doctrine of original sin. It may also be described as the doctrine of equality among men." - G. K. Chesterton

Well trying not to use Biblical ones - I would have to say that these are my fave quotes and they are quite different!

AMERICAN HISTORY X - Has anything you've done made your l...ife better?

DODGEBALL - I found that if you have a goal, that you might not reach it. But if you don't have one, then you are never disappointed.

DR WHO / QUEER AS FOLK -Unrequited love. It's fantastic, 'cause it never has to change, it never has to grow up and it never has to die!

ST TERESA OF AVILA - Let nothing trouble you,
let nothing make you afraid.
All things pass away.
God never changes.
Patience obtains everything.
God alone is enough

The prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee."--John Donne, Meditation XVII
