• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

All violence is technically against my religion (Quakerism), but if there's no other escape from a threatening situation, I don't mind defending myself. I'm sure Jesus understands.
I would hope that violence isn't the first option. Even from a moral-less viewpoint it's just stupid. The risk of injury is too high.

God is uber vengeful.

How can you be vengeful and all forgiving at the same time?

PARADOX

BTW- Patrick of Detroit, lighten up there young man, life is a lot more abusive than that

The world IS more abusive than that, I know. Maybe we should start working on that.

Oh, of course not. I'm not really a violent person by nature (other than toward myself).

Hmm...A criminal act of violence directed towards me or anyone near me would most certainly effect a violent response on my part. I suppose it's a character flaw on my part, but I've next to no empathy for criminals who directly violate the personal rights of others, in fact, If I found myself able to, I would probably kill in retaliation.
