  • 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

Let me ask you a Q. Why do you think that some ppl choose to lie here? I dont mean just this forum and I do mean Christians. Why would someone want to tell stories to fellow brothers and sisters in the Lord? Enlighten me if you can.

PM me with the answer if you dont mind as I might not see it otherwise.

For the sake of all, I'll answer this publicly and then send you a private message with the answer.

People lie on the Internet in general because they feel comfortable about recreating themselves. They've told the same stories so many times that the miracles God has done have lost their glory (in the teller's mind). Consequently, they augment a miracle (like a fisherman augments the size of his catch when he retells the story).

We don't mean harm by it when we do it, but it happens because we want to "top" others or because we don't want to feel left out when the glory of God seems to have left our lives.

Still undecided about the Bush plan?

Yeah. I don't get into politics much anymore.

How is life lately?

Today is a wonderful day. Today is the day that all my cash flow returns to normal, and I can actually start to pay off my debts.

My health is in the pits, but my finances are awesome :)

Do you have a job? if so, do you like it? if not, enjoying your "freedom"?

I'm a team leader here in Castle Rock at the Chick-fil-A, and most days I love my job. Yesterday was not so fun with the busy lunch rush and having to be "talked to" twice, and then having to deal with an employee who doesn't like me, but most of the time I love my job.

I am considering getting a supplementary job, though. I just need more money right now.

Any weekend plans?

I'll be hanging out with a person I'm trying to avoid (because I'm just too nice to say no), work on Saturday, go to a meeting at work on Sunday, and go to church. Somewhere in there I'll be watching a movie with friends and hanging out with my family.

Hi Calminaion, can you sing?

That depends upon your definition of "sing."

I like to sing with a choir, and did so my senior year of high school. However, my best talents lay in rap lyrics and "screamo," all with Christian focus. I'm a better lyricist than singer, but I manage.

Just ask the tiles in my shower. ;)

Lol, hope you're good at gluing tiles then ;)
But, in all seriousness, rap and screamo still take some strong vocal chords, as does choir singing!
