  • 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 readers here do feel for you, Caleb, and there are prayers going up for you. The fundamental need is for you or any such one with this kind of stress, to get in tune with God. That is through His beloved Son, the Lord Jesus (and I recommend you prayerfully read all of John 1; John 3; John 14 and ask the Savior ---Jesus, the Christ of God, to come into your life (note 1 Jn. 5:10-12). Reading God's eternal Word and thanking the Lord Jesus for suffering on the Cross for your natural sins (as we all have) is the way to peace, hope, and eternal blessing. I have learned this over 60 years walking with my Savior and Lord. Look up always, and not be looking around all the time. Write me anytime! - Yours by grace, 1watchman

My life right now is going super bad and I want all of it to end. I’m in tears while writing this right now. I have extremely repetitive unwanted thoughts that scare me and I also have urges in my brain to do things that only worsens my anxiety, I want to ignore it but my brain is just still thinking about it. My brain just conflicts with itself and I go insane, I cannot control my thoughts. I’m fearful of my past and my future... I don’t want this. Why can’t God just end all of this if he truly loves me? What can I do to stop this? I just really want to die and not feel anymore pain and suffering. I can’t find happiness IN ANYTHING anymore...

I've got OCD and yeah I can relate. Have suicidal thoughts pretty often.

Get therapy / psychological help if you need it. Self-help courses have helped me a ton.
