  • 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

Should we ever stop asking?

Didn't you recognize the literary allusion?

And wouldn't a [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] be happy?

Would you be here if you were unhappy at being here ?

Is anyone else as tired as I am? :yawn:

Is there not a whole world of 'tired' unhappy people out there in this world which is supposedly full of 'progress' toward a loving caring equal wonderful world, that we're still waiting for as things get more and more unloving ?

Did this site even make it to being Christian in the sense Jesus meant it?

Have you ever, like me, forgotten about one side of a multifaceted story? :blush:

Would the answer lie in the fact that I've become a scarecrow, and one with no brain?

How can any of us hold the universe in our minds, all at once? :)

Isn't this as good a place to be unhappy in as any other?

Does unhappiness lie in asking endless questions, or in finding no answers?

Or does it lie in choosing to be unhappy?

Where's the coffee? :D

Can scarecrows get tired of scaring them evil crows away ? :clap:


Surely, unless the crow has eaten from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, it cannot be regarded as morally culpable?

Can God be held responsible for creating good and evil amongst all other things made ?

Who can call God to account and hold him responsible for anything?

:hug: :D

Did God then without responsibility ,inevitably then create good to know what He is , and evil to Know what He is not... so that He knows everything ? :tutu:

Can one,
solid as a Rock.
washed by water
scorched by fire of th Sun
be moved by the wind of the spirit
to break ...
can one get Tears of Blood yet from stone of the Earth
Would Fire help to break or will the Stone break the stone?

And whosoever shall fall on that stone shall they be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, will it grind him to powder?

Can the whole Earth be broken by a White-hearted Stone when it falls to earth again ?

Will most men mistake the first , the Black-hearted stone that falls for the real one ?
