  • 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

Hello I am a devout Christian I think I have just been persecuted but I am not 100% sure.


So, basicly I was strolling around the internet and I found some atheist who had a signature that showed the Bible and it said "Weapon of mass distruction"... Now it didnt exactly say "HANITH" on it but I am still extremely offended and it's left me this entire day making me feel useless and persecuted.

Well what does an atheist truly know about God?

Actually, The Pew Survey and other studies of religious knowledge show that atheists know as much as, or even more than, most Christians do. The problem is many Christians do not really think in depth about their faith or study or fully understand the tenets of their own religion, whereas many atheists have studied, explored and thought about them. Here is the lead paragraph from the story accompanying the results of a "religious knowledge" survey done in 2010:

Atheists and agnostics, Jews and Mormons are among the highest-scoring groups on a new survey of religious knowledge, outperforming evangelical Protestants, mainline Protestants and Catholics on questions about the core teachings, history and leading figures of major world religions.

Here is the link to the report:
