  • 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.

In cafe, I was bombarded with questions about Christianity by these muslim girls.

They was saying how a true Christian wouldn't wear a Harry Potter hoody (I was wearing a Wizard-related hoody) and that I'm not worthy of wearing my cross.

The kept saying how they know more about my religion than I do, which is probably true.

I know I'm being a baby, but I'm constantly being questioned and judged for being Christian, any tips? >_<

Pray and study so that you are a better living, walking, and talking believer. They are just picking on you because they know you are weak in this area. Just ask them to pray with you. Pray for His Presence, His touch on their hearts, His Holy Spirit to convict that which is true. God will step in and help you when you ask Him. IT is His gospel. It is His and He can tell it better than any of us.

Wear your cross with pride. In your heart you can ask God to make you stronger. Be proud of your beliefs. If you believe in Jesus,He will be there in one way or another. We do accept persecution as a true form of loving Him. It is part of the road we take. Look at the Columbine situation and read about Cassie Bernall here in the USA. Will pray for you!!
