• 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.

It's so easy for us to keep going on with our lives, thinking everything is fine, when there are many out there who are suffering. We get so self absorbed. This video really opened my eyes and spoke to me.

As one of the few things I do not understand about God is why he didn't make everyone equal. Not saying he doesn't have a reason, I just can't figure out what it is.

but on topic now. People are stupid, arrogant, and ignorant. They don't care what's going on on the other side of the world because they've got it good. Not that there is much we could do without damagin our nation. I am also guilty of this. I (about 80% of the time) could care less about how people in japan are doing after the tsunami wiped out their homes, or if children in africa are starving. If it was closer to home i would.

It's a funny world we live in.. speaking of which do you know how I got these scars? (Sorry had to make my Batman reference of the day).
