  • 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

For-u-ms ?!

Why is it the fundies see this as a bad thing, yet those on the butt end of the prosletyzing see this as a good thing?

To non-believers, Christian is no better than other faiths, matter of fact, other faiths are much better than Christianity, given the violence history of the religion. You think it's a compromise, I think it's dropping some of the hypocracy and the arrogance of actually thinkiing Christians are somehow better or more moral than non-believers when for many of us, those most horrid people we have ever had the displeasure of meeting have been Christians.

I've had a lot of experiance on different forums with Christians and in real life, and the amount of them that I have talked to that have turned out to be a complete antitheseis of Christ has left me with as bad a taste as Islam has.

As far as I'm concerned, the only difference between Islam and Christianity, in terms of violence, corruption, brutality, ect, is the fact the many of the historically CHristian nations have become first world nations whose populas has become educated enough to put the reigns on the authority of Christianity. The Islamic world has not done so.

*shaking my head*

Nothing but ignorance and a seemingly unwillingness to understand what christianity even is and what it's all about.

Simonline:Well, it would appear that Erwin has allowed this site to degenerate even further into moral and ethical relativism by 'relegating' its 'former' Christian ethos to a sub-forum non-descriptly entitled simply 'Faith' (the implication being that Judeo-Christianity is no better or worse than any other religious 'faith' (Humanism? Fundamentalist Islam? Satanism?)
Just for giggles, could you restate this in a charitable way?

Those of us who are orthodox conservative Evangelical Christians (and who do believe in the absolute nature of Truth) need to realize that this site is now no longer a Christian forum (though some of us still wonder if it ever really was?) and should now be regarded as a Secular Humanist forum paying 'lip-service' to Judeo-Christianity.
C'mon. You're just trying to pass yourself off as "Easy To Please", right?

Being an Englishman I have first hand experience of what it means to live in an environment where Judeo-Christianity was once the predominant world-view but which has now, under the auspices of Secular Humanism, been relegated to the status of being a by-gone irrelevance, having been supplanted by rampant individualism predicated upon Man being the measure of all things. This in turn is now being supplanted by the imperialist colonialism of fundamentalist Islam as it seeks to impose itself upon all peoples, especially those who are not morally and ethically strong enough to resist, having abandoned their belief in moral absolutes.

Always a good idea to end on a high note, eh?^_^

it won't end when you have those of us who believe in the inerrant Word of God having liberalism shoved down out throats as acceptable of who God and Christ is.

Do you have an example of that taking place here? :scratch:

Care to prove me wrong?

Oh wait, you can't, because just a couple pages ago you helped to completely tear down what Father'sdaughter had to say, and even tear tyhe girl herself down. You didn't like her opinion, and you could attack for "not having the spirit", so you use her age as a weapon and all of a sudden she's a idiot, she's immature, she doesn't know anything, she needs to grow up, and she'll never know as much about anything as you, even if she's already been though it.

Yea, rabid fits.

Just the opposite, I understand quite a bit about Christianity, and Christians. That's why I'm not one.

You're not a christian because you probably judge christianity by the character of people rather than by Jesus. Because if you truely understood christianity and that it's about Him, the cross, the blood, freedom, love and the victory, then in what way can you even say that you're not a christian?? That doesn't make sense..........unless you don't like what Christ has to offer...perhaps??

Rabid sheep dogs, maybe...
as with all people in all walks of life of all faiths...

some are sheep, some are sheep dogs...

don't lump all christians into the sheep category...it's a huge mistake to do so. as is underestimating a person's abilities on their looks...

;)

I don't mind being labled a sheep because a sheep always follows it's Master and not a stranger.

*baaa, baaa!* :D
