• 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.

Quick question for the skeptics...

Even my scientist father got tired of answering my questions. I remember asking him once what would happen if snow was naturally black (I had it in mind that its melting temperature might be higher), and he never answered that one. I understand that there can be limits.

However, it really is the job of the parents to at least answer some of those questions, or at least get their children a book or URL that does. It might be okay if a Christian parent would at least launch into a discussion of the fine points of Thomas Aquinas's views on the natural world now and then. That would be far preferable to "Goddidit".


eudaimonia,

The "black snow" reminds me of this lol:
