• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

For the lurkers

Do you find the debates here interesting or pointless?

  • I find them interesting and helpful in shaping my own opinions.

  • If find them pointless and unhelpful.

It's often been said that the only reason TEs and YECs debate in these forums is for the benefit of the lurkers who might actually get something out of it. Personally, I debate here to sharpen my arguments that will inevitably come up again with the general public, given my career choice. But I digress.
That said, I'm curious as to how many people find these discussions rewarding vs. just downright pointless and even depressing.

Only lurkers to vote, please.

I can honestly say that I have been a bit closed-minded when I hear or talk about "Origin Theology". I've looked over this forum and have found for myself useful information. Not necessarily what you're talking about mallon, but I have seen some people here with incredible strength in their faith, and it brings me joy to know that. I try not to debate about something I know little about. This is why I'm here. To Learn. Thank you and God Bless!
