  • 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 I am writing a book titled- Being a Christian (from a child's point of view) and I need your help with my research. I am 11 years old and my book is about what we - kids - think about our faith and being a Christian. Please take a moment to complete my brief 10 question anonymous survey and I thank each and everyone of you in advance for helping me with my very first book.

Being A Christian: From a Child's Point Of View Survey

Go ahead and write it... But I imagine that if you publish it (assuming you even finish it.) you will probably regret what you have written in the years to come. My life has completely turned upside down within the past 7 years. Come the time when you actually mature and know who you are, you will not believe exactly how you did. In my case, I left the Christian church as well as the doctrine and I started to see the truth for what it really is. Had I written a book years ago, I would look back upon it disgusted and ashamed at how little I knew and how foolish I was.

Granted, such a book would probably do rather well and would be a whimsical and "upbeat" read for many of the down-trodden, or old ladies. Do what you feel is best. I won't take the survey because I'm no longer a child, nor have I been in quite some time. If you want to write about faith from a kid's point of view, and you're 11 yourself, then just write from your heart what you feel- it'll be far more genuine than a survey on the internet.

Johnny this is Alex's Mom and I'm not sure why you think she will not finish her book because she is only 11. She has every intention of finishing her book that's why she is doing her research and she has me to help her along the way, either you can help with the survey or not. Thank you anyway.

I'll be honest with you, I doubt you'll finish your book because you're only 11.

Intention is lovely...but I'll be honest with you, I seriously doubt many 11-year-olds have the motivation to do so. But as you will.

Well, I'd hardly call it awkward, it's just me offering an honest opinion, which is quite a common occurence around here

Lol no, you stating your opinion wasn't what I was referring to. I just found it somewhat awkward that you got called out for it by her mother... haha, it's just not something I usually stumble upon in a forum.

Ah, of course. But, then, the kid is quite young, probably got a tad upset about what I had to say. I have been known to give brutally honest opinions sometimes...though, I don't really think that was one of the brutal ones.
