  • 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

    I recently attended a Catholic Church and the priest made sure to include a prayer for soldiers in a war-torn area. I found the inclusion distracting since I had been taught that Christians are supposed to be neutral in world political affairs. It brought to mind how priests and clergy of all...

    Did Jesus change Personality After Ressurection?

    Some are claiming that Jesus was a strictly pacifist who condemned violence even in self defense. However, in the book of Revelation he is depicted riding a white horse and leading the armies of heaven to battle with a sword protruding from his mouth and waging war against God's enemies. In...
