  • 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.

Well I don't know what that last message is all about and I know that this thread is very old but it is still pertinant in my life. My daughter is going to be 5 next week and the issue of her non-exsistant father just keeps coming up and then I feel lucky when it dies down again with little mess. But I know i'm just putting off the enevitable. Her father left us when she was less than 6 months old. I moved back home and put my life back together and found a wonderful man who she has only ever known as her daddy. Her bio father pops his head up once or twice a year but nothing of value. I just am so confused about how to explain divorces and absent fathers to a toddler.
