Thank you very much. For the most part, they really are rather nice folks. Except for this one poor fellow who comes off like a televangelist, they have struck this skeptic favorably.

We are both reading tons of books, both Christian and non-Christian.

I don't know how our search will end, but I do know that you are right about alot that you have said here.

Well, I'm getting on there in years. Has to count for something.
I don't think religion per se is the evil some make it out to be. I think it gives comfort to many, and to many more, provides a method they can use if they become lost in a moral morass. I don't think we are sinful or inherently bad, etc., so I can't make cogent statements about a sin nature. But if it's important to some, then I'm not really the person to naysay it.

whatever chris. ya know there's way more i'd like to say but i go for my first confession tonight adn really don't like the idea of adding anything more to my laundry list of sins that i already have. i just think it's hypocritical considering all the ones former CF staff, are the ones moaning the loudest adn what kind of witness does THAT set?

Apparently you ignored my post?

I find it very doubtful that a brother or sister, a friend, has never come to you and respectfully asked that you not to do something you wanted to do... that you didn't honor their request. Of course this doesn't fit with the "police state" illusion that people have of CF. No, to some people we're all minions to some human-deity cult.

Yet you all still felt drawn to come here and read the thread. Why don't you all read some of the other threads in some of the areas here on IIDF? I would love to see you go head to head in some of the upper fora with some of these infidels. :devil1:

Maybe you missed the part where we said we came here to address some issues and concerns some people have, people who had grievances with CF or its staff members and wanted dialogue. We came here to discuss some of those issues as best we can with sincere and honest members who were willing to parley with us. Of course, I'm seeing less and less people honestly wanting to discuss issues and more people simply looking to pick a fight, stir up emotions and libel staff. I wonder where you fall? Perhaps your words speak to that already though.

Hey there! You made it!

Things are a bit rough-and-tumble here, but sometimes things get resolved (at least a little).

And I made pals with I'ddie4him a/k/a Blaster. Whoda thunk that?
