• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I haven't been around these forums for 6 months. It's a pleasure to see a lot of the same faces around here and plenty of new ones.

It's not quite such a pleasure to see the same old rhetoric being spewed in both directions in these recurring topics.

Everyone's got their moat-gate up and everything inside the keep is rotting... metaphorically speaking of course.

Let's be sure we're properly evaluating the information and "information" we share with one another here. Let's also not forget that merely pointing out faults is only part of solving the problem. We can easily pick apart others' cases, but we must not forget to at least attempt to provide solutions/complete counterpoints in lieu of views we oppose.

Please watch these and the other videos by Qualiasoup if you're interested.
