  • 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

    Pardoned Jan. 6 rioter arrested over threat to kill Rep. Hakeem Jeffries

    A word that describes such behavior is hothead. Which is an impetuous, brash, impulsive, and often violent person who's actions--at times--are not preceded by sensible thought.

    Trump to sign order renaming Pentagon 'Department of War': Sources

    As Shakespeare wrote, "What's in a name?" Especially if the mission of what's called the War Department is the removal of malignant politicians afflicted with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

    Hegseth Boosts Video of Pastors Saying Women Shouldn't Vote, Advocating Repeal of 19th Amendment

    I'm going off topic. The worst aspect of American Presidential voting isn't gender of the voters. It's the exceptionally obsolete and undemocratic Electoral College. When you vote for the President, you're actually voting for a panel of electors in each state. Who are lackeys, appointed by...

    Hegseth Boosts Video of Pastors Saying Women Shouldn't Vote, Advocating Repeal of 19th Amendment

    No one is subject to be drafted. That was ended by Pres. Nixon in 1973. And ever since then, we have a volunteer military.

    Police Believe CDC Shooter Thought COVID Vaccine Made Him Sick: Report (fired hundreds of rounds, killed cop)

    As a retired physician, I can only wonder how RFK, Jr. has had any training in health care and medical science that would qualify him for HEW Secretary. mRNA vaccines are regularly updated by the manufacturers to provide a degree of immunity to whatever COVID-19 viral strains are immanent. I...

    Joyeux Bastille Day

    14 July, 1789 was the day the Bastille--a fortress/prison in Paris-- was stormed by a mob of angry French citizens, expressing their disgust at the imprisonment of persons who dared to challenge the actions of the French government. As it turned out, only 7 detainees were freed. But it was the...

    Joyeux annivesaire, Celine!

    Celine Dion turns 58 today. Despite her neurologic disease, she was the star of the Paris Olympics last July by giving a spectacular performance of Hymne 'a l'amour. In case anyone hasn't already heard it (which would be astounding) here it is:

    Several of my favorite quotes regarding religion: An evil man will do a good deed if it benefits him. But it takes religion to make a good man do an evil deed.

    Worship Songs

    I'm not a religious person. But I do enjoy good music--secular and otherwise. And it seems that most all of the religious music posted here overlooks the classical repertoire. I suspect this related to the hegemony of the RCC when classical religious music was composed. But anyway, here are 3...

    Trump Plans To Take Contol and Rebuild The Gaza Strip.

    I wouldn't think there's much of a market for real estate in an on-going war zone. But Donald sees an opportunity. Maybe he'll try to get the auction held at his Trump International hotel in Vegas. Auction houses usually charge a 10-20% commission on winning bids, and sometimes a separate...

    Trump Plans To Take Contol and Rebuild The Gaza Strip.

    Getting in a bit late here---I don't have a problem with Donald taking over Gaza and making it an entirely new economic development. But only if he and Elon Musk pay all the costs in perpetuity from their own pockets

    Is Trump a true believer inspired and empowered by God - or what ???

    Ivanka converted to Orthodox Judaism when she married Jared Kushner. His family is Jewish, and is also in the real estate business. She and Jared have 3 children. And from what I've read, they're strict religious believers who follow all the Jewish dietary laws, observe the holidays, and attend...

    Some Fun Science Trivia

    In medicine especially, there are shortened names for some illnesses and longer names for specific physiological phenomena. Example: We all know anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that can be fatal without treatment. But we don't need to use the term neurotrophasthenia when referring to...
