  • 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

Real presecution

I hear about "presecution", such as the ban of military insignias on Bibles.

I'll tell you about real presecution. I am an oriental orthodox. We where part of the first church. We where seperated from the rest during the Islamic conquest. North Africa and the Middle East was all Christian before Islam.

They killed you if you didn't convert or pay. The rich could pay, and we are their offspring. But now the Muslims will kill everyone. The Arab spring is Satans work.

And let's not forget Asian Christians in Indonesia that are being forced to follow Sharia Law. They manage to turn South East Asia islamic by Saudi funding.

This is real presecution. Not the bull you have to deal with.

I agree. I love it when people try and tell me how 'horrible' it is for Christians in the US. If they are so convinced that what happens in the US is persecution I can't help but wonder how their faith would hold if they lived in country like Iran or Egypt.
