• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

To my shame I have to admit that at one time I was pretty prejudiced against homosexuals! However, one night, a few years ago, I had a dream and I was being strongly urged by my 'divine spark' aka God, to stand beside them when they were being torn apart by the rabid fundies or anyone else!!! I remember arguing that I was happy to stand up for anyone but homosexuals. However, getting to know some gay men I realise that they don't have two heads and have a perfect right to love one another, just as us heteros do! I have created a piece of artwork for Christian Gays.

I want to publically apologise for having been less than gracious about homosexuals in the past. Nowadays I would fight with my dying breath for your right to be in the skin you are in.

Now if only we could get the rabid fundies to see your point we would be one step close to have the church shine a little more like Jesus to the world! Peace out girl

(I am also not gay but) I wish more people of your age could be as wise about it as you have become.

what may be better to wish is people our age be just a wise as my home-girl above. Peace

I know many, many who are either fine with it or tolerant.. But I also know several who aren't. I actually am convinced that once our generation makes it into politics, gay marriage may be legal.

Imagine a world without prejudice comments like 'rabid fundie'

Prejudice is prejudice,
regardless of who it's towards.
