  • 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.

ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live after comments on Charlie Kirk

No it cannot.

It allows you to feel like yo ucan.

The UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONs are two fold are
1) that black people could NOT get that job on their own capacity.
2) That the company has NO interest in hiring properly qualified individuals.


It's hard to decide which take is hotter.
So you agree with me.

ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live after comments on Charlie Kirk

Of course I've heard the clip. Why else would I be talking about it? If you can't figure it out, what he was saying was if there were no such thing as affirmative action, I would not wonder about a black pilot. But because of affirmative action, it can be legitimate to have a concern.
No it cannot.

It allows you to feel like yo ucan.

For the underlined statement to be true, two UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONs have to be true
1) that black people could NOT get that job on their own capacity.
2) That the company has NO interest in hiring properly qualified individuals.

It seemed so easy for the thief on the cross to be saved.

Luke 23:42 Jesus told him , that TODAY you will be with ME. in Paradise
Careful of punctuation that did not exist in the original scripts. Easy to alter the meaning when applied. He asked to be remembered for a time when it would be suitable to the will of God. He wasn't selfish over the matter like most humans clamouring to make salvation about themselves (like the other thief)

Eric Trump on Charlie Kirk’s Legacy and the Radical Left – “This Could Have Been the Greatest Mistake These People Have Ever Made” (VIDEO)

Not only are conservatives going to stand their ground, we are going to take back what was lost.

Ya think so? Better tell the leader. Hatred for LGBTQ is, for the leadership, mostly a means to rally the troops by fear. It's not principled; it's tactical.

ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live after comments on Charlie Kirk

Is it a "take" when someone asks you to clarify what you meant and you do so? :)

Yes.

It's hard to feel bad for Jimmy.

While I thought he was a talented comedian, he was the same one who was pretty joyful about someone else getting fired for expressing differing viewpoints.

(ignore the commentary in-between from whoever that youtuber is, this isn't an endorsement of his content, this was simply the only clip I was able to find showing when Jimmy laughed about Tucker getting fired)
I don't particularly care about any of them, but there's a pretty significant different between what Carlson did that led to his firing and what Kimmel did.

Wrong. According to the psychological dictionary, sexual deviancy is any sexual behaviour that is seen to be different from the norms we expect.
So would sexual assault be a sexual deviancy?

The Trump DOJ goes "woke" and will target free speech.

She does not look center left to me. You dismissed all of her votes for the left and honed in one that looks from the right.
I didn't dismiss them - it's just that nothing jumped out at me as "far left". Again, are there any that you'd like to highlight as being particularly extreme?
That’s ok you are obviously stuck on your believes and not willing to learn. Your objective seems to just want to win the argument. Not interested anymore.
Repeating dogma doesn't teach me anything. Support your arguments - you claim they're far left. Okay. Why? What is your evidence? Convince me.

Mixing colors? That's it?

Isn't that what we started here with?

See only what you want to see.
That's all you showed us. I'm not saying you're wrong; I'm just saying that we need a reason to think you're right. And you could be. But mixing colors is kind of a public school thing. Grooming them to be readers seems to be the real concern.

JB Pritzker Claims He Has Never Called Republicans ‘Nazis’ – Gets Proven Wrong by Videos of His Own Words

Nuance. I'm being told that Charlie Kirk didn't call all Black women low IQ people who lacked brain processing power, he was talking about specific individuals. To say otherwise is dishonest and deliberately taking his words out of context for a specific narrative and twisting them. I'm assuming the same nuance applies here.
But he was implying that because they were black, they didn't have the abilities to get where they are. Yes he was referring to these SPECIFIC black women THAT time, but he has FREQUENTLY suggested that any black person should have their capacity questioned because there is NO way they could be good enough to do that job.

Article - about Anglican beliefs.

I skimmed the website very quickly. It looks like it's chiefly representative of the ACNA and some of the other Anglican groups in the US that are not part of the Episcopal Church. Insofar as Episcopalians and Continuing Anglicans agree on many things, the site does reflect those large areas of agreement within the broad Anglican tradition.

Our points of disagreement tend to be around inerrancy, gender, and same-sex relationships. I'd have to dive into the site more deeply to see what they say on these topics. The site does have an article opposing same-sex marriage, but I haven't yet found clear statements on inerrancy or on gender roles.

This is an important time in our country. We need transparency in government and people like Pritzker need to be called out and held accountable. The violent rhetoric needs to stop.
Pfft.


Why? Trump is never held accountable.

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

A political martyr, yes. A martyr who was a Christian, yes. But calling him a Christian martyr to me suggests he was martyred for the faith. That's not how I see it based upon what I have read.
Hmmm....maaaaybe this is a better way of expressing my thoughts....maybe.

ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live after comments on Charlie Kirk

It's a garbage take, because the "DEI" initiative in diversifying the pilot ranks was in getting more women and minorities into flight school, not in lowering the standards for them once they got there.

But hey, whatever is useful in stoking white resentment, eh?

THE GREAT CONTROVERSY in Baltimore, Maryland

I read chapters 2 and 3 of the book because of this thread, and the nicest possible description I can give of the historical claims is "profoundly ignorant and totally unsubstantiated." Maybe EGW was limited by the books and people she had access to at the time. Modern SDAs do not have such an excuse for distributing falsehoods about the historicity of Sunday worship and belief in the Real Presence of our Lord in the Eucharist.

And at least The Trail of Blood puts some effort into identifying theoretical Baptist predecessors. EGW just kind of hand waves the problem and says there were anonymous true Christians throughout history who didn't venerate icons or worship on Sunday, without anything to back up the claim.
Hence my (yet) unanswered request for historic verification of the existence of THE INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT doctrine prior to its revelation to Mrs. White.

ABC pulls 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' off air 'indefinitely' over Charlie Kirk comments

Free speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences.
That cliche, widely and popularly invoked, is perfectly applicable to private actors but not government actors. Translation, the cliche isn’t applicable to the government as the 1st Amendment free speech clause exists to restrain the government from imposing “consequences” because of speech.

My position, to which you invoked the du jour cliche, focused upon government actor(s) and the 1st Amendment IS applicable to the FCC.

So, let’s run it back.

The FCC threat directly towards ABC and Kimmel doesn’t merit any consideration of free speech protections under the 1st Am for you?
