• 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

Did you figure things might be different here from what you've come to expect? Your story is kind of sad. You seem to be saying you're coming to the end of something and you just wanted to let us know that we (humans) are all sad and deluded. Am I understanding you correctly? How did you "literally" raise hell? Or do you actually mean "figuratively?" Do you mean to appear mysterious? What does "Goodbye Stranger" mean? Are you a Supertramp fan or something? Give a little bit.
I don't say everybody is deluded, I say that everybody can do without belief. There is simply no reason for human's to believe, and simply no way I can fit into this society while belief is an institution. Obviously something is not working with our current system of thinking. Do you think it just might be the fact that we assume more about our reality than understand it?

I trust in Christ alone would be better.
We got nothing to offer.
(He) had everything.

Why do you need to tell me that you trust in Christ alone? What do your beliefs have to do with me?

I can't be a believer. There's no area of my brain that processes belief systems. That's the same for every human on this earth, the fact they believe thing's doesn't mean that the brain knows what to do with non sensory information.

Now, that you are a participant in a forum with the word "Christian" in the title, you should probably expect quite a bit of that kind of thing. Stands to reason, I think.

Don't be silly. Frontal lobe serves just such a purpose.

I am simply not interested in people's beliefs anymore. I've come to realise that there's always a group who'll believe one thing is true, and another group who'll believe the exact opposite is true. I can't work out what true right and wrong is when I have 8 billion humans telling me different thing's.

In the end morality is just a club.

Enough of the 'prison' talk, puh-lease!

There's a big difference in sharing than there is in give and take. You can't look at yourself as giving something without seeing the participant of your charity as a taker.

I've been around on this planet for a very long time, and I know pretty soon that my time will end. I've never stepped outside my own country, and I've never made my mark on the world. But I say I've literally raised hell, especially with my adopted family. Because they just wouldn't let me in their inner circle, and went out of their way to brainwashed my daughter that my love for her was grotesque.

But I got them all, and their little dog :) Although they don't have a little dog, I just ripped that off from a movie I watched years ago. Anyway back to the story at hand. As I said I've never really done anything with my life, never held a full-time job, never raised a family, never purchased a house, never owned a car, never joined a club, cult or religion. I have been floating along the currents of life, and ending up wherever I may.

Ultimately I never understood humanity, I could never buy into their garbage they forced down my throat. It's not that I didn't try, I did, but none of their shoes ever fit me right. It's sad really what has happened to people, they are born into a society that programs them to work, consume, and die. But the saddest part is that most people are too afraid to think for themselves.

And that's the reason I could never fit in, because I hate living in a world where so many people would have me live in a box alongside them.


Where was it sunken and to what location did you raise it?
