  • 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

Is this a good idea...

I'm going to have to explain this piece by piece.... alright.

First Element: Man... married two amazingly cute, yet horribly evil kids. Wife who's cheating on him, but refuses to sign the divorce papers.

Second Element:
God
This man talks to God alot. He asks periodically where God is, why he won't help, he tells him he's just a huge jerk that doesn't care about anybody.

Third Element:

Car crash, he is responsible and has to pay thousands.

Finally he cries out to God, and asks him to help... amidst the screaming God answers in the most unusual way imaginable.

Three days later the man goes to the door after hearing it ring unceasingly. And there is God, trenchcoat, bowlers hat, and two suitcases, standing at his door.

He smiles, The man raises an eyebrow. God walks in, sets his bags down takes off his Jacket, and begins to use the most amazing methods (and most unusually effective at that) to revolutionize his life, all while showing the man that he cares more deeply than he can fathom.

How does it sound.

Reminds me of "Being There" for some reason, though their obviously very different plots.

Oh, you could totally make it worse. The car crash involved another family member and they ended up dying. And of course the reason for the crash was him being distracted by the fact that he just lost his job.

Instead of making both his kids evil--Have one simply be difficult teenager (maybe they are into drugs and gangs), and give the other something that makes them difficult to communicate with or being in need of too much attention (autism, mental retardation, OCD, ADD, deaf, cerebral palsy, etc). When you talk about evil kids I think "exorcist" or standard horror flick...

Was that wife is cheating on him with his sibling?
