  • 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.

I don't fear death, but I admit to not loving the idea of dying.

If I can just go to bed at night and not wake up, no problem. But the idea of a long, drawn out illness makes me more than a little worried. I used to think that was weak of me, but I've heard a couple of very learned pastors say the same thing, so now I don't feel so bad.

I know that when I close my eyes here on Earth for the last time, I will reopen them and be standing with Jesus...so no, I don't fear death.

I will echo the other posts that say I have some "trepidation" about the dying process, I'm basically a wuss and I hope my death will be peaceful and painless...

I also will be sad to leave my daughter and other loved ones behind because the last thing I want to do is to make them unhappy...even knowing that we'll all be together again...does that make sense?
