• 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.

  • 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

JB- I just had a visual of you living in the part of The United States that I live in (Texas) :), I think you would either go insane or pull your hair out. It is not uncommon for people here to absolve themselves from any type of desicion making or responsiblity/blame. If they have a desicion to make they say that they are "waiting to be led" or if they make a poor desicion or do harm to another they defer blame to Satan. This area is chocked full of Creationists posing as Christians.... Sometimes I just stare at people in utter disbelief.
I'd probably get hounded out ;)

Yes, I think so. I am surprised I have not been run out on a rail. Sometimes I purposely provoke:p . Actually even though I do not know you personally I thought of you yesterday when I was having a conversation at my house. We hired an exterminator (which you have to do a few times a year in Texas) to come in and spray for bugs rodents etc, to prevent them from taking over. This guy does pest control for a living (which may explain it-the chemicals) Anyway he saw my textbooks and asked me what I was studying. I told him and then he said that he loves all science and that he thinks it is cool how the planet is getting lighter because we are mining it. (I have to admit that it kind of shocked me-I stood there for a moment and must have looked puzzled) I said, "What do you mean?" He said, "Yes, since we are mining the planet it is getting lighter and will eventually crash into the Sun". I said, "Wow...by the way what type of chemicals are you working with?" He did not get what i was saying and them asked the typical question so common here, "Are you saved?" :rolleyes:

Sure pour me an orange juice, sounds good! If I were to indulge and have a beer with you young guys, I would probably choose Miller Genuine Draft. (Of course I was not too picky in college). LOL

I am almost speechless. That guy is severely synaptically challenged.
