  • 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

Hiya, i have a funny story. I've only been a christian for about 5 months, and still don't know all there is to know, so i was looking round the internet and i managed to find this atheist parents site, they had heaps of posts saying stuff like:

Just for the record.. I go to www.christianforums.com FadingWhispers goes there as well.. it's much fun, and the people there are really ignorant.. many fence riders there, and some calvinists as well.
Anyways... I don't cause holy wars there, but I do plant seeds.. it's always fun, if any of you feel like registering there.. Atheists are about half the population on this forum..

why is this funny? because these atheists have lead me straight to place where i can hang out and talk with people about how God rocks!! unwillingly these atheists have done Gods work. Big ups Adonai. Following that train of thought, the fact that atheists are here gives me much pleasure, i have longed for a solid conversation with them for a while, for the simple truth is i used to be one myself, quite a hardened one as well, until february of this year. i struggle to grasp the concept then, that many atheists make; that Christians are ignorant, and that atheists are not ( The difference is that there are no ignorant people here ...) - that bracketed sentence being from the atheist site. How can one be enlightened, then become ignorant? does one suddenly forget all she knows, does one become brainwashed and forget there is no God? please answer me atheists, i am so very curious to know what has happened to me.

God Lives.

I'm not sure the link worked well, it bought me right back here to CF! - was that intentional, am i missing a joke or something ?

On another note, Welcome to CF and also, you know some of us have been Christians for years and still have only scraped the surface of understanding what God intends for us to know and an understanding of Christianity. My suggestion: read the bible daily, really study it, and pray lots and lots and lots...

Hope you have a great time here at CF.

Hey there, jelliebee!! You know it kind of reminds me of that story about the little old lady who came out on her porch every morning and would lift her hands and say "Praise the Lord!" Her neighbor didn't believe in God and would get mad and ask her why she did it because according to him there was no God. One morning he put a bag of groceries on her porch and hid behind a bush. The little old lady came out and saw it and said "Praise the Lord!" The neighbor jumped out from behind the bush laughing and said "Ha Ha! See? God didn't put that bag of groceries on your porch. I did!" The little old lady raised her hands in the air and said "Praise the Lord!! You not only provided the food, You made the devil pay for it!!" ;)

Welcome, jelliebee! :)
