• 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.

Add respect to the list of issues. The reason they're getting the flak they are, IMNSHO, is that they're treating us like idiots. Respect is a two way street.

Well...God will look after them. I hate bringing my cooties to church but I had a problem with faithfulness for awhile, and I am not going to miss church anymore unless I really cannot help it.

Nothing serious yet. It is all just Conservatives are blah, blah, blah, and have a new club, blah, blah, blah.

There is even an occasional, we got a bad deal, post, even if we are the anti-Christians.

The people aren't bad so much as they just do not understand. They see the reactions but they do not see the provocation. We do need to adjust our reactions to simply ignore those who come to stir things up.

I honestly think things will be better eventually. I have hope anyway. There was a time, if you remember, when we had an athiest here or there come in to talk with us, and our reputation was pretty good.

Our reactions, my own included, were probably not as Christ-like as they should have been. Just makes us human. Doesn't make us as bad as is projected, and we have gotten an unfair deal out of it.
