• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

Dr. King was an adulterer; does that take away his contributions to society? No, it does not. King David had his best friend killed cause he wanted his wife all to himself, does that make him evil in the eyes of Jews, Christians and Muslims?

Smearing a dead man, who basically liberated a people is one of the lowest tactics an individual can do.

Telling the truth about someone who may not have been so great is a public service. Shooting the messenger of a valid message is one of the lowest tactics and individual can do.

Keep in mind that Joseph Smith was a convicted treasure seeker and Mohammed is by his own admission a child molester.

You could take any person and find 20 negative things to say about him, now you have a villain. Reverse it, saying 20 good things instead, and you now have a hero.

And someone somewhere somehow appointed you the guardian of the truth? Fascinating.

That's why I said what I said, and I will say it again because it's true- You could take any person and find 20 negative things to say about him, now you have a villain. Reverse it, saying 20 good things instead, and you now have a hero.

I bet we could do the very same thing about you if we wanted to.

It's amazing how the RW fringe so hates Nelson that they make up nonsense about him.

So, Mandela DOESN'T have the blood of many innocent people on his hands?
I agree he did a lot of very, very good work after his release. That doesn't mean that he was a living saint. It means that he was a terrorist who later in life went a long way towards redeeming himself.
