  • 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 ask if you could read this, and post back what you feel.

If you go out and do something good for someone else, and after words you think – I did a good thing I should be rewarded – does that make it a bad thing? If you see someone in need and think – if I help them I will be rewarded for doing a good thing- does that make it a bad thing? If you a good thing and never think of it again does it matter? Should one count the good things they did? Does bragging of doing good deeds, decrease their value? If you see a good deed and walk by it does that make you a bad person? Does it matter what the deed is to make it worth more than another or does it not matter because a good deed is as good as another?
There are two people who pass each other in a store. The first person sees that there is a glass item about to fall on the floor and break and without thinking about it they push it back into safety. Person two knocks over clothing from the rack and keeps walking by it. Person one sees a shirt on the floor and picks it up. Person two sees that it is raining outside and the little old woman is heavy with bags, has no umbrella and can’t find her car keys, and walks away. Person one see the woman and hurries to her aide, getting soaked and all their own bags getting wet. Person goes to pick up their wet bags and does not see the car speeding across the parking lot, person two comes from out of nowhere and grabs person one out of the way just in time. No one will remember person one as person two is praised and rewarded. Person two is cheered and held high for doing such a good thing and person one smiles most gracefully, thankful to be alive. Person two goes home with much ado and joy, person one must now go back in and purchase everything that had been run over. Inside the store again, person one picks up another shirt and puts it way, and finishes shopping.
