  • 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.

Hey Guys, What do You Think Was The Worst Thing You've Asked For in a prayer? Cars... Money...? heheheh For me Personally, i Think The Lame'est Think i've Requested in Prayer... :pray: :angel:

hmmm *thinks* Was Probably For Jesus to Return for His 2nd Coming in my Engineering Courses; primarily During Finals. hehehe i Remember praying:

"C'mon God bring it!! BRING IT!! I'm ready, feel free to come on down, anytime... I know we're not suppose to know... but I'm sure if you came down NOW before I took this final, you'd surprise just about everyone ELSE!"
:pray: :holy:

... what Have You Guys Prayed For, That Seems Silly Now?

my stupidist prayers would have to be when I was a teenager, each time that I got pulled over for driving under the influence of alcohol, I prayed that if I was just let off, just this once, that I would stop drinking...each time I was let off...none of those times did I follow through with my part!!

Ok, this is awful but I said this before I was even converted..... I was 17 years old, drunk, and clinging to the toilet "God I'll never drink again if you make this stop, I promise!"--I think it's called The Collegiate's Prayer ;) j/k Hope my misery serves as some amusement!

My silliest prayer? I'm sure there have been many, but this one sticks out in my head.

Age 13: "Dear God, PLEASE let me make the cheerleading squad, and I promise I'll never 'cuss' again!"

:eek: :D :D :D

I made it, but I didn't hold up my end of the bargain. :eek: :blush:


ROFL!!!!!! Okay, that definitely qualifies for silly, and it made for a good laugh. :D

I think my silliest one would be,


"God, why does everyone pick on Satan? I pray that he can have friends like the rest of us too."


What can I say.. I was veeeeery young and had no idea what i was talking about... only heard people saying bad things about Satan. ;)

God bless your childlike empathy. I understand!
Another prayer from childhood;

Aprox. 6 years old, watching 'Jesus of Nazereth'..."Dear God, PLease don't let Jesus be crucified! Why does HE die everytime I see this? Please don't let Him die! Why does HE have to die?!" :blush:
