• 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.

I'm concerend w/ right and wrong. I can't make you do anything, but when in debating, I will tell you what God has said and what's right and what's not in His eyes. That is the job of all that serve God, to tell the truth and tell people of errors so that they can get themselves rt. Even if they don't, you still ought to tell them rather than let them stay deluded.

well, if nothing else, archie, you are predictable!!! always have the pedophile card at the ready
On pretty much any topic related to sex, children get dragged into it.

For instance, any discussion of porn is immediately shifted to kiddy porn, even though virtually no one even knows how to find kiddy porn, much less watch it. There is absolutely no relationship between kiddy porn and regular porn. Yet the former is far worse, so by associating the two you make the latter sound worse. It's just a case of pushing people's hot buttons.

I am one of those people who believe that 'love' is caring about what happens to someone, that they are safe, comfortable and happy. It means I don't want you to get hurt or be sad.

It doesn't mean that I want you to change who you are because I see it as wrong (I don't) and I need to guide you on a path that is less hellbound (I don't believe you are on a hellbound path by being gay).

The point being, you will always get love from me-what I consider to be love and caring. Never any hurtful comments. Those who say hurtful things, well that's their defficiency, not yours. They're easily ignored (I say that, but it upsets me all the time too). Be happy, there are many people who will truly love and care about you.
Do you support same-sex marriage? If not, anything you say about "hurtful comments" is totally irrelevant. You engage in hurtful actions, which is far worse than hurtful comments.

That doesn't answer the question. What makes other people's private lives your personal responsibility?


Well, actually you seem to totally misunderstand me. I believe 100% that other people's private lives are 100% their business and not my own. So, I wasn't trying to answer the question but I was actually supporting the asker while making a joke at the expense of people who do think it's their business.

Yes, I do support same sex marriage. Please stop making assumptions about me and my motives because you've been pretty wrong so far.

Definition time:

Paedophile - A person who is attracted to pre-pubescent children.

Homosexual - A person who is attracted to a person of the same sex.

See?:)

Hmm could be just me but you seem to be saying that being attracted to pre-pubecent children is in some way wrong?

You do understand that pedophile does not equal child molester just like hetero/homo sexual does not equal rapist.

Pedophile is simply a word to discribe a persons sexual prefrence just like the words hetero/homo are. The only differance is how ppl in ignorance react to the word.

To make the connection between pedophile and child molester is like making a connection with blackguy = thug or muslim= terrorist

It is quite fair to compair when you talk about giving into unnatural urges. Never did I equate them.

Nice try Jughead!

i am not sure if homosexuality is "unnatural", but rather than trying to define it, then gluttony would be a fine example of an unnatural urge too, wouldn't it? or public nose picking? why is it you always seem to zoom in on pedophilia? constantly.

Umm, what about:

What does the Lord require? Do justice, love mercy, walk humbly with your God.

Or this:

Love God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and strength. And love your neighbor as yourself. Upon these two commandments hang ALL the law.
I don't see ANY other job descriptions matching the one you put forth.

wow, It's been a long time.. I havnt posted here in a while..


anyway.. I would just like to state something here that I feel has not been touched enough.

our sexuality is something that we hold in us and we are attracted to what feels natural. I know many straight people who would actually feel discusted by being with another member of the same sex.


The same goes for someone who is gay...they might actualy find any sort of sexual/romantic contact with a member of the opposite sex gross.


....yea and I used to argure why someone would be that grossed out... ..maybe I try to be too liberal....or maybe im just bi. o_O

Okay, first non-gay christian then. My point is that 99.99% of the christians who post in these threads attack gays, so I am taken by surprise when one doesn't. The post I was responding to sounded like an attack.

Um....I agree with you, although paedophilia is not a sexual preference.:thumbsup: I was simply defining the words for another poster!

I was raised RC, and my family continues to practice Catholicism, yet noone in my family, or frankly anyone I know, opposes equal (same-sex) marriage!
