  • 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

Hey you all. I am about to be 24 and I still live at home. I am devoted Christian, but my parents are nominal Christians and don't follow the Bible, attend church, pray, or do anything like the Bible says. Recently, I am trying to move out....and I am trying to take steps to living on my own, but every time I do, I get punished in some way. I just need basic help with learning how to get a car, how to get insurance for the car, how to get life insurance, how to get an apartment, and things like these. Do you all have any advice? I found a person selling a 2008 Mazda 3 for $4200. I am also wondering if this is a good deal. It has 177,000 miles on it. Thank you. Please give me advice

The best advice I can give is talk to your parrents.
You may not get on with them, but they are your first source of information.
the next is the parrents of your close friends, or from an elder in your church.

For cars try Cars For Sale. Used Cars. See price and shop for cars in USA online
insurance google insurance or look for an insurance broker in the high street, do get several quotes from different firms and check they all cove the same things, have the same excess.

You can get lots of info online Your friends' parents might be a good resource. Do they have a regular mechanic they rely on?

In the meantime, save as much money as possible.

Do you have a regular - full time job? Take care of your parents? Do you have siblings that you've shared your home?

Urge you not to sign any contracts until you understand all the aspects of them. There's books about these topics for young adults. Maybe your library and/or Amazon would be a good starting point.
