  • 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

Ehn, don't worry about the pride thing. We all need a little break sometimes. Way I see it, you have both OBOB and CC to hang out in, so there's no pressure anywhere. Go where you feel comfortable, or led, and when you feel comfortable, or led, and pay no mind to things like looking foolish. You won't do. We're entitled to change our minds :hug:

Okay. I went back into the mix. Here is my debut post, which I'm sure will be deleted, so read it while you can:

Great post, we have to take stands for the faith - maybe that will convict someone's heart on supporting abortion thru a political candidate.

I truly beleive that sometimes you have no choice btwn candidates depending on the office they're taking and the circumstances - then you vote the lesser of another evil... (meaning sometimes both are pro abortion or will not even handle an abortion issue but have terrible politics)...

In a case like this, there shouldn't be any choice becuz the Pres. has power to veto and sign bills into law to overturn things that others might have worked on to stop abortion or at least partial birth.

I've decided to go all out and whatever comes from my stands in God's truth, so be it. Whether its loss of friends, hatred from others or other persecutions. Eternal life is more sure than this one.

nice post and thanks for taking a stand there - it's not easy but God will bless it.

hi brother, I'm conservative too I haven't participated in the political threads at OBOB though - partly because I'm not American so I'm not very informed about the election, and partly because I'm very busy at this time. You're not alone though :hug:I don't think the entire forum has gone liberal, maybe it's just that more of the liberals are speaking up.. I don't know. if I get the chance, I'll write something.
God bless

So do what everybody else does. Create a sock account and play stupid. Just don't make the mistake all socks make and talk about issues or situations that occured in CF before your new account was created. LOL

:amen:
I can't hardly take election seasons - it just gets SO ugly and hostile with chronic back and forth retaliations.

In a world that God tells us is evil, I doubt Christians will ever be well recieved.

I have missed this place - but since my beliefs are closest to Catholicism - will I be able to last here without cringing? :sigh: (asking an honest question)

I have personal reasons why OBOB is hurting me to visit the place - but anyway - I can deal with the liberalism among the other opinions - I don't think I read half the posts there - after the threads reach a certain length.

You can switch between the 2, sis, maybe? If OBOB is upsetting you, hang out here. If CC makes you cringe (hopefully it won't... there's no one denomination in here) you can spend time in OBOB :hug:

You waited too long. We've adapted and are now no longer affected by your "Luther-Rid".

:p

Is that proof of evolution? :D Isn't "Luther-rid" another name for a Papal Bull? ^_^ Here defend yourself!!

*Zec tosses PW a fresh fisk*

Keep your eye on them. They're a crafty lot. :p
