  • 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 feel very strongly about the image we project to newcomers. As far as i am concerned this whole site is losing its most valuable asset if non Christians reach the front page and decide they are not welcome and navigate away.

so let's tuck the christian aspects away, and hope they don't notice for a while? the purpose of cf is to unite all christians as one body. i've read the banner. i expect it, and would be actually put off by a plethora of non-christian forums.

I hardly think that contracting the 'Christians Only' menu is likely to 'tuck the Christian aspects away' There is a banner at the top of the page that is fairly explicit. I just think that regardless of what CFs purpose is supposed to be, we need to remember what Christs purpose for us is.

Whilst not wanting to tread on anyone's first amendment rights or anything, I have to say after reading this thread that it just proves "you can't please all the people .... "

BTW I like it, I like change and I frequently jiggle the contents of my websites around. Keeps them 'alive' and stops them getting staid and boring. (IMHO, of course!!!!!!!!)
