• 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.

I just signed up to this forum looking for someone to talk to about my own beliefs since basically none of my friends are christians and i generally have no one to talk to. I was reading the posts and it seems that most people on here either don't really know what they are talking about or arn't christians at all. Anyways I hope im wrong because this forum could really help me to get to know some fellow christians and have someone to talk to about the subject every once in a while. :D  So anyways Hi everyone and I hope to have some fun in here.

[move]Welcome to the Christian Forums! :)[/move]

Like Pete said, this section of the forums is for discussion and civilized debate between both Christians and non-Christians. If you would like to meet some other Christians I suggest you check out the Fellowship Court. But I am glad to meet you and I am a fellow believer, hope you enjoy the boards  :)

I suspect there are a lot of people here who don't know what they're talking about; for instance, I have only a marginal clue about serious biology, and Rufus is probably not a particularly experienced theologian. Still, we have fun.

That kind, warm intro ought to start things off nicely. This is your first post here, and you start right in, with the insults. :(

Slow down there, cowboy! Let's meet in a more civil and respectfull mannor. :)

Hi Redmoon and welcome to the forum.
Since you are posting in the creationism/evolution forum I would like to remind you that accepting, or rejecting, evolutionary theory has nothing whatsoever to do with being christian.
THere are many non-christians who do not accept evolution, and there are even more christians who do. In fact, the vast majority of christians world wide accept the fact that is evolution.
