  • 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.

What are your feellings about them?

I personally think that christians should stay away from them.. because they have no value for a christian. All the sensual types of dancing and just the general atmosphere doesn't seem right to me.

I'm partly asking this because a girl from my church wants me to go to a dance with her, but i'm thinking that I won't go because of what I said above.

For me, I don't see anything wrong with it, mainly because I can't dance, so I don't do much more than just slow dance with my date, of course, I don't think they're super exciting, but I'll go if my girlfriend wants me too.

I guess the only reason I have a problem with this dance I was asked to is the fact that the girl who asked me likes me.. but i dont like her back

If it was just a good female friend of mine, i wouldn't really care.. or if i was to go with some of my guy friends.. but since this girl likes me, it seems to weird to go with her.

I never had a problem with school dances, I only had a problem with.. certain songs they played at school dances. I didn't start to especially enjoy dances until after I graduated though ! I went to a school dances with my friends who are in grade 12, and it was really fun ^-^

Well, if you don't like her back, then my advice would be just to politely decline. Unless your friends are going and you want to hang out with them then I really don't see any other reason to go.:thumbsup: However, dancing and "naughty" music isn't gonna lead to satanism or anything like that so I wouldn't worry about it that much. If anything, you should worry about your school over pricing stuff like entry and food. :)
