• 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.

Greets!

Hey chaps, I'll get this out the way now.

I am not a Christian.

I don't believe in the existence of god.

And I don't believe in the power of prayer.

I do however lead a moral life, I'm polite to those around me and am as helpful and understanding as I can be. "Why come here then you atheist weirdo?" you might ask, well I'll tell you. Being a rational guy, I've decided to give Christianity a chance, I'm reading the 'Six days' book, a compilation of creationist essays and have set up an account here to take part in informed discussion. This is not to say I will agree with everything you say, there's every chance I will do my darndest to present evidence counter to your beliefs in threads but I'll do this in the politest way possible.

Ok, with all that out the way...

Hi, I'm Simon, I'm a 16 year old guy from Swindon in the south west of England. My various interests include Warhammer 40,000, a table top war game, World of Warcraft, a MMORPG and whatever else takes my fancy (which is usually limited to lying in bed or having a drink with some buddies painting). A great deal of time is taken up with my A-Level studies (for you folks state side I'm not sure what the equivalent is, sorry) and the near constant battle with my mother (I'm 16 after all!).

So... yeah, here I am!

Thumbs up, let's do this!

Welcome to Christian Forums. I hope you enjoy your stay here and I pray your spirit will be lifted and your heart will have found a new home.

"Stay" is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary.
-Amos Bronson Alcott

I sought to hear the voice of God
And climbed the topmost steeple,
But God declared: "Go down again-
I dwell among the people."
John Henry Newman
