  • 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

Namaste all

i've recently joined the forum and thought that i should introduce myself to the rest of my forum mates.

hmm.. now, what would you like to know? i live in america, east coast area. i grew up in north africa and as a consequence been exposed to many traditions and religious teachings that are common to the area. i've spent the better part of my adult life studying religion in it's various forms and manifestations.

in my youth, i walked the Christian path.. i vividly recall being "saved" at the Bible camp in Oklahoma :) i've subsequently become an Apostate. i spent the next few years studying various Eastern, Middle Eastern, and Western esoteric traditions and rejected each of those as well.

i now walk the path that the Buddha taught and have studied it quite extensively.

whew... that's enough, i think, about me :)

if you have any specific question, drop me a note :)
