  • 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

Prayer sent. It's good to have you here. And thanks for fighting for Christians. You sound like someone that really wants to do the right thing. Sometimes it's tough to discern exactly what that is.

I will be honest with you, I am a Christian and have had some of the same encounters and feelings toward other Christians that you have. People do some stupid thing in the name of Jesus. Then I realized something: Christ is our perfect model. The rest of us are just trying to imitate his life, usually poorly. But that is the beauty of things. I don't have to be perfect.

Anyway, that may have nothing to do with why you decided to confide with us, but it made a difference with me.

Keep us posted on how you are doing with this.

In brotherly love,
RCF



Ps. Tolkien rocks!

As Christians- some of us don't follow our Christ as we should. I know I often fail there. Please forgive me.
