  • 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

What's on your mind?

:hug:Thanks Jennie.
I know they won't be far, and it's silly to be so upset about it because I'll still see them. I guess just watching them cry throughout the day, or suddenly come and give me a hug was really difficult. And I didn't want to seem too down around them, and instead encourage them.

But now I'm just an emotional wreck and in need of a nap. Or a popsicle. Or both LOL

You're welcome :hug: It's totally not silly! It's natural. And I'd be bawling my eyes out too. I know it was really hard. I'm sure you did end up encouraging them, it'll give them something to think about too I'm sure.

Go for both! :D

OMM: I had a dream about a CF member. It was so odd, I don't even talk to the person

Was it a good dream? Maybe it's a sign to talk to them. Lol

Why do people have to be jerks? Saying your dog is becoming a problem when you don't even interact or have anything to do with said dog is completely invalid just because you're annoyed by something. UGH.

Wonderful. A topic of mine filled with unhelpful answers has become a featured topic and is now on front page for everyone to see.

Would the people of this website also like to strip me naked, tar and feather me, and then parade me down the streets as well?

I realized today that CF is like the worst place to ask questions ironically

So asking how to bake a potato wouldn't be a good idea on here?

LOL!
No actually those kinds of questions are actually the ones I love. I like the lifestyle talk/humor about the misfortunes of life/being supportive of someone whose having a rough time, side of CF
I don't like the "theology" component of CF. It's messy.
I really need to find a church I love and agree with ... I've been trying to use CF as a way to have Christian friends/a community of people who share the same beliefs but it's not really working

I feel the same way. I enjoy theology but I sincerely do not like debates or arguing, or any conflict. Hard to avoid as a Christian, I know, but I do not have enough knowledge to be in those kind of topics. I prefer to encourage people and tell them about God's love and grace. I suppose that is what you would call Evangelism - which is apparently one of my Spiritual gifts. As for the church - I've had (personal and petty) issues with some of the youth groups but I am trying to serve at the church and land a part time job there. I'd like to be more involved and grow closer to the Lord, if my stubborn flesh would stop being a poopy head.

I can't stand debating either or conflict. It's one thing to contend for your faith but it's another to be arrogant, unloving, and downright rude

Yeah this is so true

Same,I prefer to encourage people and tell them about God's love and grace. I suppose that is what you would call Evangelism - which is apparently one of my Spiritual gifts.

Yup, same! That's why I love Christian Apologetics although I'm non-denominational

Lol "petty" hahahaa, I feel you. I have theology issues at my church but I will go until I find a better church. There are almost no youth at my church. I would love to join a youth group at another church but I'm too shy and stubborn like you :)

oh the flesh!
