• 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.

Does this mean I'm off the Christmas card list?

You are deflecting again... pay attention to what I posted... you can not read my mind to know if I am lying but you can read my mind and know I am worshipping Mary???

the illogic just keeps rolling.

That's not what I did. I asked her here so I could apologize for keeping the thread going longer than needed last night.

So again Bene, sorry.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm not about to put up with what you describe either. The thread in question, though is over, closed, done with. There's no need to keep arguing in every other thread. Regardless of anyone's actions I will not stop respecting fellow Christians, even if they happen to be anti-Catholics.

I'm sure people may say that at the wrong times, but when I've seen it said "You're not listening," it usually is because the other poster seems to be skipping over the posts based on their lack of response to anything said in the post, and their general continuation of the topic.

It is often painfully clear when someone isn't really reading posts, but just skimming stuff over and typing something up.

If you are not here to listen to someone else and respond to them, then we must conclude you are here to simply type up your own thoughts and opinions for others. Unfortunately, that doesn't make for good conversation here.

You said you weren't mad. That's why I invited you here to publicly apologize to you for keeping you yelling at me until 2:30.

You have stomped on my foot and slapped me with a wet fish for it.

yeah--- how was it phrased?

I accept your apology for arguing but you are not apologizing for on purpose ignoring every last thing we said to you.

There is no point in talking when there is no one listening. That's why I generally do no come in here. No one listens, all they do is talk.

You do not want to have an actual conversation-- you want to tell us what we believe as if we don't know what we believe.

You have to know how laughable it is that you all think you know us better then we know ourselves, that you think we are deceived...

It's just laughable.

let me just say that its my experience that if you post with integrity and truth, people do listen to your posts for the most part

if you start blindly defending a position of your church with nothing to back it up

this tends to make my eyes gloss over anything else you have to say concerning the topic
