  • 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.

Sometimes...

...its really hard to be a Christian when the rest of your family is athiest. I mean...I always go to church by myself...and sometimes it feels good...other times, its just so lonely. And alot of the times if church is supposed to be done at 11:30 but gets out at 12:00 instead...I get into trouble. Like last Sunday...I got out late and my dad freaked at me and told me he was sick of being my father and that he thought I should just run away...and so I did...and it was all because I came out of church l8...and it kind of hurts...but the pain slowly eases...into numbness...

:sigh:

Hang in there goldie lox, being able to go to church by yourself and really develop your relationship with God is important, and you'll find it gets more important as you get older. Let your parents know that you will be home by a certain time (like noon, give yourself time in case it gets done late...), if they still have a problem with it, see if the pastor, or if another friend's parents will talk to them about it. I'm in college right now and I go to church by myself a lot, my fiance comes with me sometimes, but he works 11 pm to 7 am on saturday nights so he is extremely tired come sunday morning. :hug: hang in there!
