  • 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

Yep it's a trend. Every morning I wake up to at least three new threads on abortion and/or homosexuality.

It's in fashion. It's not like society doesn't have other issues, it's just these two are easy to fire up about.

Basically both sides end up rehashing old arguments. We are running in circles. Each new thread it's like we haven't moved anywhere. And yes, I'm one of the people who started those threads, gotta fit in.

lol yep. Its comments like the above that turn the abortion threads into a 20 page arguement that ends up closed by the mods.

Abortion is not murder. The definitions are:

1.Also called voluntary abortion. the removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy. 2.any of various surgical methods for terminating a pregnancy, esp. during the first six months. 3.Also called spontaneous abortion. miscarriage (def. 3). 4.an immature and nonviable fetus. 5.abortus (def. 2b). 6.any malformed or monstrous person, thing, etc. 7.Biology. the arrested development of an embryo or an organ at a more or less early stage. 8.the stopping of an illness, infection, etc., at a very early stage. 9.Informal. a.shambles; mess. b.anything that fails to develop, progress, or mature, as a design or project.
No where does it say murder.
