  • 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 hurt someone badly, just brutally. I didnt know it would turn up like this, but I knew the potential was there. I hate myself so badly right now, it's just so wrong.
My need for companionship superceeded any thought of what the companions feelings may have been. I said I was sorry, I apologized, but am I really sorry? I knew this potential, it was malcious and selfish, and I do feel sorry, but it's not enough is it?
What to do, I feel like scum, I am scum right now, Im hating myself so badly.

How do I make this ok? Is it even possible?

:cry:

With God all things are possible. First ask God for forgivness. Also ask Him for guidance. I would say you need to apologize to this other person. Be ready for rejection though. Realize that even though God forgives and remembers our sin no more, there are still consequences to our actions. God will help you through your journey, remember this fact if you experience more hurt.

Getting right with God, ie confession and asking for his forgiveness is step 1.

Then, an apology. If the apology is not accepted then you need to recognise that yoru action has broken a relationship. Learn from that, so that you will be wiser and more self controlled next time.
