• 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.

Ride's over.

It was over about a year and a half ago.

To continue the Tilt-a-whirl analogy, you just snuck back in to the abandoned amusement park to tell all the people who aren't there anymore that they have to go home.

Problem is that the tilt-a-whirl doesn't use chaotic motion -- it uses carefully designed mechanisms to simulate chaos, but one actual random event would probably cause the structure to fly apart and send tourists hurtling into the cotton candy booth.
That is what my son would say. Nothing is random, just some math is too difficult for us to figure out.

We are to love our enemies.

I don't consider those who don't share my beliefs as enemies.

Even Jesus called Judas, "friend."

Matthew 26:47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
