• 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.

You just walk away? That tack doesn't work here.

No, I don't let children that young cook. It's far too dangerous. And their safety is far too important to risk it. So...moot point whether or not I would eat anything a 4 year old cooked.

Would you dare to get in your car and just drive with no plan as to where you will ultimately end up?

Most of the time I would not dare to disagree with someone who intimidated me. Yet once in a while, I am either braver than usual or I just have the attitude that I don't give a rip. When that is the case, I would dare to disagree.

Would you dare to correct a teacher or professor that is teaching something entirely untrue?

I might offer a different perspective on the subject in an informal setting. But I think it's pretty arrogant to presume to correct a professor on the subject in which they are teaching. Besides...there are usually only differences of opinion, not right and wrong, in every subject that is taught with the exception of Math.

Would you dare to rethink your position if someone made a good argument for their opposing position?

I do this to a fault. I reconsider nearly everything when I hear a good argument. It's part of my peace making wishy-washy too-understanding traits... but it's good to learn how to question AND how to stick to your guns.

Would you dare to challenge a pastor on their teaching if you disagreed with it? (or if it disagreed with the Bible)

I make a conscious effort to both tell them, and show them. But I don't remember anything but them getting on my nerves when I was growing up.

Would you dare to teach 3 year olds instead of sit in a church service? (in case you didn't know...the 3 year old class is the one that is learning to potty train, and really is inconsolable about waiting for Mommy, and does not usually sit quiet or play well with others.)
