  • 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?

Just finished the film.. quite sad.

You said you were watching wonderwoman and I said you make me wonderman. It's just another hilarious joke from yours truly is all.

So...a coworker and friend of mine said I needed some church. I joked around, saying I'd probably burst into flames as soon as I stepped into one. He was all wide-eyed and asked why.

I told him I was joking...but gave him a real reason why I don't attend church; I was force-fed a doctrine I didn't agree with and which ultimately lead to my moving out of my parents house in a very abrupt manner, despite their protests. My own mother told me I was going to hell, as well as called me a coward, a liar, a sneak, and a harlot. I told him all I believe in now is that there is a God up there somewhere...he nodded in understanding.

I don't know if I'll ever find my way back to Christ...but a part of me still hopes that in the end I'm found to be one of the few that makes my way to heaven.

Ah Squeakers, I'm sorry to hear that your mom called you those things. God thinks highly of you. He really does. And I hope you find your way back too. He won't stop seeking you anyway. I don't know if your faith started with the upbringing of your parents or not, but what you described is definitely not characteristic of Christianity. It's not me for me judge anyone (even your mom) but I know that sometimes our beliefs about God stems from how our parents or authority figures represent Him one way or another. God is not a condemning God. He's happy and loves to delight in us. Praying for you.

God is love. Jesus is love. He loves you a lot... truly.

I'm very sorry these people painted a picture otherwise. That is not who Christ is.

This is an incredibly interesting concept. This would take a lot of commitment.

I can imagine in Heaven we'll be seeing families and homes like these everywhere.


Interesting. I don't think I could walk out into the world with a 1986 haircut like that, lol.

With some luck you'll evolve into something grander. You just might be the forefather of a superior form of life.

We 're related to apples too. Maybe I need to get in touch with apple culture. You know to get in touch with our distant apple relatives.

Those apples will then adopt cybernetics and be the disposable hi-tech apples we all know today.

The legacy of transhumanism.
