  • 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.

What's on your mind?

Well, dude, I'd have to admit it would be pretty embarrassing for us to call ourselves a Christian (at least primarily; I recognize that a few people here do not share the same faith, and that's cool) community if we weren't any better than those other forum communities that may have driven you off in the past with the negative way most of its members treated you or each other. But, you're welcome?

I basically believe this to be true as well. A few years ago when I found myself sharing the same plights and woes with other believers and non-believers alike in the adult ward of a *ahem* mental hospital (for lack of a better term), I remember thinking of an analogy, an illustration, to demonstrate this very sentiment that by Christ's blood and forgiveness I do not think we can ever truly go back. And I spoke it aloud to everyone else in the room, then, making a reference to my own selfishness and sins which I believe led me to the sickness I was experiencing in that time in the first place.

I believe I spoke of it as the picture of my being an endlessly wandering sheep in God's good and vast pasture, who kept wanting to explore along the fenceline between Light and Darkness without ever really thinking about what I might be getting into, eventually to where I would want to take a leap over the railing, but the guiding crook of our Shepherd would never allow it, I'm afraid. I'm being pulled back gently (well, okay, sometimes with a bruised backside if He ever feels it necessary to go there ) by that crook every time. I figure, there really isn't a better God around for us to declare our loyalty and love to, even if we believed that other gods actually existed.


(Like, seriously, who'd want to serve Zeus if he was real, for instance? That guy was an <expletive>)

My town, Newgrounds and Rapture Ready were very toxic places to be in.

I browsed Rapture Ready forums - without ever actually joining - for a while a couple of years ago when I wanted to investigate the subject of what Revelation main view - preterism or futurism - seems the most logical and Biblically sound. And I gotta say, that kind of Christian attitude that seemed to prevail there I am personally very averse to. Our faith may seem strange and peculiar to many non-believers who do not see it the way we do yet, but I don't think that means we need to actively speak and act like tin-foil hat Illuminati skyrocketing to the nuthouse just to look "different from the world". That, and the general sense of insulting anger and religious/moral superiority (all under the incredibly thin veil of "hey, I just speak the truth in love") I got from there.

Sorry, so much to say all of a sudden tonight, getting home from work and starting to unwind, it seems.


@CodyFaith - I like your new avatar, by the way. Funny bulldog faces are always a good thing. ^-^


... .... I just saw the notice on my YouTube main page that the Cinema Snob has finally gotten around to making fun of the 8th installment of the unintentionally hilarious Friday the 13th films, where "Jason Takes Manhattan" (more like Jason just annoys it briefly in the third act of the movie). Now to sit back, break open the cheese quesadillas and Dr. Pepper I picked up on the way home, and enjoy the dry sarcasm over a classic(ally bad) 80's slasher.

Hehe- correct on a couple counts.

My boyfriend and I have agreed to take turns planning monthly date nights- intentionally finding and putting together an event for us that would be fun and different. This month I've decided to purchase tickets to a local convention and enter a costume contest

The other thing is his bday is in March, and in addition to making a plan of events I think he'll love, I think I've come up with a pretty cool gift idea. He's been wanting a robe because he doesn't like wearing clothes when he's gaming but he gets cold, so I'm going to make him a robe that looks like the Sun Knight from dark souls 3. Really hoping it turns out like it is in my head, because that would be a big hit!

@TheRealAriel yay, that sounds like lots of fun.

I love cosplay but I haven't had the time and resources to do a lot. I have a really good Darth Vader costume though. everything looks better with a boss floor lenth cape.

I couldn't imagine anything worse. Carrots are a horrifying food.

No wait, I just did think of something worse... Tomato juice. Just the thought of it triggers my gag reflex.

@TheRealAriel that avatar... Wow. That's commitment. You're serious about this name aren't you?

Quite serious the name is from a home video my family made one Halloween when I was very young. It features me stomping around in a crazy red wig and mermaid tail insisting I'm not wearing a costume, I am the REAL Ariel. Ariel is my most cosplayed character, and I even bought a swimmable mermaid tail (pictured) to wear to our annual company retreat to Mexico.

Please pray for my family. Every one is sick. Dad is still getting over a stomach virus, Mom has a cold and now has the stomach virus, and I have not got a cold....I don't know what it is but it's awful. Seriously just praying I don't catch the stomach virus too.

Praying! It's been going around heavy here. One girl at my church got it twice in one week between visits to family during Christmas.

Too bad we are only replacing one turd with another. Obama, Trump, Hilary...... didnt matter one way or the other this country isn't going to move forward.

I DO believe Trump was the best option.... given the joke of choices we had.

Hilary- 100% evil and power hungry
Trump - 99.9% evil and power hungry
Obama - 100% Hopey changey for the worse.(As I said would be the case before he took over.)

All of them were pretty much tied for worst case scenario.

Yet, people still argued as if one of them is our "savior" when in fact all of them are a poison to this nation.
