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.

Thank you soooo much for your prayers, everyone of them makes a difference 
. The reason I could not go into details yesterday was because I was really fired up and very angry. I had just responded to a thread on alcohol in another forum. I tend to get very angry when someone takes alcohol lightly especially joking about it. It's no joke to me, and the many other people who are alcoholic or know someone who is. The reason is because my momma is an alcoholic, and as far as I know my dad still is. I haven't seen him since 95'. I grew up with him being an alcoholic and that was bad enough. I never though my momma would turn into an alcoholic at age 37, after they divorced after twenty years of marriage. My momma is the most loving, God fearing, person I know, and yet she is an alcoholic. It can happen to anybody, christian or not. My family needs your prayers.
Below is what I wrote on the other fourm I was at. It explains how I was feeling at the moment when I posted this thread yesterday
In Christ,

I can't stand alcohol. It destroys families. I grew up with an alcoholic and let me tell ya it ain't pretty. And right now I'm dealing with an alcoholic mother. It sickens me how alcohol can take loving God fearing person and turn them into someone I don't know. My momma loves the Lord deeply and truly, being an alocoholic doesn't change that. It's a true struggle of a human being. I know and she knows that the Lord will deliver her from this, but it is so hard waiting and it sure don't happen over night. Lord, knows I wish it did, but it don't. She is in cousling and making progress, but it is still slow. To someone who doesn't know the effects alcohol can have all this might sound crazy, like how can a christian be an alcoholic, but it is as real as anything to me and my family. I pray that alcohol ceases to exsists, but I know that won't happen. When my momma do get completly sober, I know it will be a struggle to stay that way, but with the Lord's grace,love, and mercy, she will be victorious, and will be fully restored. Does anybody here know what it is like to wonder when you wake up are you going to get drunk momma, or sober momma? I work third shift and I sleep during the day, and I often find myself waking up in the evening about 4 or 5 and walking into the living room to find out what I'm going to get. Well, today I got drunk momma, right now she is sleeping on the couch, I don't know how long she will sleep, but I always hope it is long enough to sleep it off. I'm tired of dealing with this, I'm tired of the struggle, I'm just tired of everything. Sometimes I wonder how all this happened, momma didn't start drinking untill around age 38, after her marraige of 20 years broke up. The other alcoholic in my life was my dad, I grew up with him being an alcoholic but not my momma. It blew me away when I realized that my loving, christian momma was an alcoholic. I found out quickly you CAN be a christian and be an alcoholic, I didn't know that before, I never thought much about it with my dad, and he was a preacher, amazing ain't it? Anyways, I have a lot of anger right now concerning alcohol and I guess I'd better close this post before I offend someone. Please avoid alcohol at all costs, nothing good can come from it.
