• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Would you defend...

Would you defend the religion or religious views of a person who was not of your own religion? For instance, if someone was getting singled out because of thier religion, would you defend them if they were not your religion?

Never defend these people. Always defend their rights. We are no more free ourselves, than the one that has no freedoms.

Yes that is all well and good but to what extent am I to defend their rights. If A group of these people wanted to build a school which taught these ideologies should I defend their right to build and teach children?

Keep in mind that you want to build a school that teaches your moral viewpoint. The question is not only about their rights. It is about our rights. You have every right to inform the parents looking into the school of your opinion too. You have every right to build your school. It is our responsibility to let people make their own bed. It is their responsibilty to lay in it.
