  • 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.

Marital Status
After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam & Eve. The very first thing he said was, "DON'T"
"Don't what?" Adam asked
"Don't eat the forbidden fruit."'
"Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit? Hey, Eve...we have forbidden fruit!"
"No way!"
"Yes way!"
"DO NOT eat the fruit!" said God"
"Why?"
"Because I'm your Father and I said so!" God replied (wondering why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants.)
A few minutes later, God saw his children having an apple break and He was ticked!
"Didn't I tell you NOT to eat the fruit? God, as our first parent asked.
"uh huh, " Adam replied
"Then why did you?" said the Father
"I don't know, said Eve
"She started it!"
"Did not!"
"Did too"
"Did Not"
Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed!
So don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?


Advice for the Day:
If you have a lot of tension and get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle:
"TAKE 2 ASPIRIN and KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN"
