• 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

I live a life of hate and love. It is a true struggle to love and forgive those I so desire to hate.

Hate is not wrong when directed at injustice. My beliefs are far from perfect and so sometimes I hate the very things that are actually good.

Sometimes I prefer to do wrong and then I hate even good knowing full well I should love the good when I prefer the bad.

I don't hate anybody or anything, but there are people I don't like, and things I don't approve of.

To me, hate requires too much effort. It's a lot of trouble to wake up every morning and remember to hold that grudge, and hate that person. It's draining. Chances are, if I dislike somebody or disapprove of something, it's not worth that kind of effort to think about. It's best to let it go and forget about them.

For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. (Romans 7:15-20 KJV)

I have a deep hate which runs through my veins and drives me, just as I carry love deep inside me. But if one does not hate, where does one stand on issues? With hate one acquires an understanding of where he or she stands in life. One cannot love everything, nor can one hate everything. Both are at opposite ends of the spectrum, but on different issues, one must choose where one stands.

I don't think I hate anyone, but there are people I dislike immensely.

I hate ideas and issues, like child and animal abuse, Westboro Baptist Church, hot, humid weather. But there isn't anyone I dislike enough to care about hating. Too much energy.

It's called the fence. Neutral. No opinion. Do not care. Undecided. Life is not black or white, it's many shades of grey, and a rainbow of colors. It's more enjoyable that way IMO. Variety is the spice, as they say.
