• 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.

Hmmm. I recently gained access to this forum (which I never had before) but have not signed up for it.

So I am (ex post facto) signing up and requesting permission to post here.

BTW - since Christians also are supposed to sign up, I would suggest editing the title to include Christians as well as non-Christians. As it reads now, we believers are exempt.

Read and agreed, but I have a question. The SoP includes this:
  • Only Christian members (see our faith groups list) may defend the Christian faith against arguments and opposing viewpoints from non-Christian members.
This seems to prevent a non-Christian member from pointing out an error of fact in a post by another non-Christian member, since that might be regarded as implicitly defending the Christian faith. Could you clarify this please.
I cannot find any reply to this within this thread, or in my Inbox. I would still appreciate clarification on this point. (And an explanation of the reason for the ruling would be welcome.)
