• 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

Technologically challenged . . . please help!

Yes your were, I think you could have even stated the thread even- IIRC it began about the Mc Donald’s fries and then he, IIRC began a thread off of that one or someone else did.

Kell (Kgboo) and myself were arguing with this guy trying to convince us that meat eating was wrong for every reason under the sun, health, morality and he even said to me that eating seafood is immoral, that oysters have nerve endings and can feel pain. You did end the discussion I believe by setting him straight. I can’t remember exactly what you said but you said something to the effect that he was being ridiculous.
OK, I was wondering because I think I vaguely remember that discussion.

Thats OK art, we don't have to agree ;)
Just to elucidate on my last reply. I meant that I didn't think that apologetic skills of those on OBOB far outwieghed those on COL. In fact, I think it is likely even.

The great thing about OBOB is that there is much more activity here. You can create a thread, and then 1 hour later have 4 pages of activity. At COL it would take days, if not weeks, for it to get to that point. That's what I like about it here. Plus there are some knowledgeable posters here.

Yourself excluded of course.:p ^_^

we should invite him here to OBOB. I think the apologetic skill of the folks here far outweighs COL.

I'll get banned if I say what I'm thinking, but why do many jump to apologetics and skip canon law and Church history?

Um . . . no, that's not the thread Dave Armstron came to. It was a thread on invincible ignorance.

That was a cool picture Dave!

I owe Skripper for life (okay, maybe not my life, but a lot!) for giving me the chance to meet Jimmy Akin.

They were all very nice guys, and I had some very good fish and chips!

That's right . . . it was on a Friday, wasn't it? :)
