  • 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

    Second Federal Law Enforcement shooting in Minneapolis

    From my understanding whistles are legal under Freedom of Speech, however they are being used at a level and consistency that may cause permanent damage from cumulative exposure, possibly causing hearing damage and tinnitus. I'm not sure what level is required for whistle blowing to move from...

    Trans state rep Leigh Finke calls for agitators to keep storming churches until ICE is out of Minnesota

    Thanks Riley, people forget to some extant both Catholics and Orthodox have multiple churches within single communions.

    Trans state rep Leigh Finke calls for agitators to keep storming churches until ICE is out of Minnesota

    Slightly off topic, but in term of Christians we should talk of communions, all Protestants who share communion are in one communion.

    Australia Day

    The numbers in support of Australia Day remaining on the 26th have increased. https://www.roymorgan.com/findings/10132-roy-morgan-australia-day-survey-january-2026 For better or worse, until we come up with a better day, it is what it is. However, the vandalism that seems that one side of this...

    Hate Group Crime Laws

    The Australian Parliament has just passed Hate Group Crime laws, after mass shooting of Jewish people at a Hannukah event by a father and son, who held extremist "Islamism"istic views. These laws have heavy penalties of up to 15 years, have no requirement for procedural fairness (ie if your...

    Trump admin. revises 'food pyramid' to prioritize protein, veggies; Americans urged to 'eat real food'

    Not sure what you're saying. However, in school in the 80's, the carb as the base pyramid was pushed hard in home ec classes.

    Trump admin. revises 'food pyramid' to prioritize protein, veggies; Americans urged to 'eat real food'

    Certainly, processed carbs are not optimal in large quantities. When I was a kid, people thought fruit juice was a healthy drink, just take fruit remove most of the fibre and concentrate the sweetness.

    French President Macron says France will recognize Palestine as a state (UK, Canada, Straya too)

    PM Albanese said he wanted a Palestinian state that does not have a Hamas leadership. Problem is that in any democratic state will be a Hamas state, I'm sure they will rebadge it like the Sinn Fein and IRA but Hamas has through action like the current recognition has entrenched itself as the...

    Erika Kirk Rejects Revenge for Husband's Killer

    This post could be taken as associating the other side as Nazi's, including a broad range of people, including fellow Christians. Did you intend that insinuation?

    Pastors, Evangelical leaders react to the killing of Charlie Kirk: 'A Christian martyr'

    MLK had real challenges in terms of personal morality, we all fall short of God's standards, but MLK had tele-evangelist level of moral issues. I will grant the level of emotional and psychological stress he was under, and fame always means increased availability of temptations. This comes not...

    There's a new pope

    English and Spanish speaking, that covers 2 billion people. Given Pope Francis communication challenges, I wonder having a native English speaker had any weight, given English is currently the world's lingua franca.

    was my baptism valid

    Having attended a Baptist church for over 20 years, this was a IMHO valid baptism. The immersion is a symbolic representation of death, burial and resurrection of Christ. There are things that are preferred, like doing it in public, having approval from pastoral staff that the person is ready...

    On How American Law, Works

    I think you need to look at the presuppositions to USA law, which is based in English common law. The USA and its constitution and laws didn't get created from nothing. Why do juries exist? Where does "no taxation without representation" come from? (Americans often talk as if they come up...

    Pope Francis had died at age 88

    My guess is that people who are progressive believe he moved the church towards their position. Some conservatives (esp Catholics) feel guilty about their treatment of him. I must admit as a protestant (technically maybe a lapsed catholic, as I was baptized Catholic but raised Protestant) to...

    Why These Hawai'i Travelers from Germany Were Jailed, Strip-Searched And Deported

    OK this shouldn't grate me, English is a descriptive language, and Americans have their own conventions. I have no problem with color over colour, or ax over axe but "traveler" for "traveller" just looks really odd.

    Would Trump defend Australia if we were attacked? We HAD a big purchase deal worked out... but....

    eclipsenow, Modern nuclear weapons are generally airburst, which increase explosive damage but limits radioactivity. Furthermore, modern nuclear bombs tend to be smaller and better targeted. Even if Australian cities were targeted, which is unlikely as they have little military value, the death...

    So trump has just slapped tariffs on an island with zero human population, only penguins.

    Actually no, the penguins are still getting the 10% base tariff, they have lost the advantage of being a low tariffed country, as most of the world will have the same tariff. The countries who have been screwing America with tariffs will now be treated the same as people who have not. Along...

    Pine Gap during the cold war was the relay point for satellite comms on a Soviet first strike. We have 2,500 marine force in Darwin which comes for 6 months training every year. Sub base in Perth for US to cover the Indian ocean. Plans to fly P8 from Christmas Islands.
