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.

Hello and good afternoon
So where to start?
I grew up Catholic and was very active at church and in my school retreat group. When I went away to college I began to question my faith and fell further and further away from God and the Church until I no long believed any of it. I was living in a state of sin and was sure there was no such thing as God.
As strange as it may sound things didn't start to change until my best friend ended up pregnant. She is going through a very hard time and I didn't know how to help her so I started to pray and ask others to pray. I didn't believe in God, but I didn't know what else to do. The day after the prayers started everything starting to do a complete 180 for her. I couldn't ignore the hand God had had in it. There is no other explanation for the complete change in circumstances.
I have started going to my boyfriend's church and it feels so right. For the first time in a long time I feel content and not quite so lost.
This however presents a problem.....I have yet to tell my mom I am going to a non denominational church instead of a catholic one. So clearly there are still things I need to work on and figure out, but I'm getting to where I need to be and I finally feel like my life is going in the right direction again.
