  • 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.

Chicago principal claims teacher who made sick Charlie Kirk gesture is the victim

Lots of Republicans want to kill anyone who disagrees with them. We saw that on Jan6 and in Minnesota and the Trump shooter.
ikr? That's why all the Jan6ers showed up armed with deadly assault smart phones.

Chicago principal claims teacher who made sick Charlie Kirk gesture is the victim

You're right. I misspoke a little. I said I had some views similar to Kirk's and you then asked me if anyone other than Kirk had said they had views similar to Kirk's. I don't know what you meant. I can't read your mind. I have to go by what you post.

Yes, Kirk was a very smart young man. In America each year, over two and a half million people, including children, are killed or seriously injured by vehicles, but we don't ban cars due to their importance in modern society.
Yeah but cars (especially in America) and necessities for many people.

Guns are eithet
Wouldn't you want to tell your boss that one of his other employees has a little issue with you?
It’s not a work issue if someone threatens to kill you. It’s a legal issue. And if the person felt able to do so it’d mean that kind of behaviour is fine and dandy. Like in the southern states of America when racism was a thing.

Are you really concerned about what some woman did in Chicago? Do you really think that what she did represents something important? Is this such a critical event that it needs reporting by a 'news' outlet?

Well, alrighty then.
This type of unhinged action was far too common in these rallies. These were not organic protests by concerned citizens. There were paid agitators leading misguided uninformed sheep.

It doesn't matter how high you go the horizon will always be at eye level. This has been proved.
-
That is not the correct way this should be understood.

The horizon will not always remain at eye level. The higher a person goes up the further they will see, so actually the line of sight. If one could see that far, would extend beyond the horizon, but a persons vision is limited on a plain.

The way it should be understood is that on a flat plain, the horizon at the edges will not fall or bend away.

Lol'z everyone's a liar if they are not agreeing with you.
That is your position, not ours.
I posted a video from a surveyor using a theodolite. He is on the ground at an elevation of 78 feet with the instrument set at 90° to the perpendicular. Looking through the telescopic view, eye level is clearly above the horizon. Distant objects which are higher than the point he is viewing from are all below his eye level because of the curvature of the earth. If the earth was flat then the distant objects would be above eye level. Ergo, the earth is not flat.

Chicago principal claims teacher who made sick Charlie Kirk gesture is the victim

If she’s receiving death threats simply for making a stupid joke then yeah, she is a victim. A very dumb victim but nonetheless, her gesture doesn’t merit violent threats.
Agree, her ignorant actions are not cause for violence against her but she did glorify violence against Charlie Kirk. Ignorance breeds ignorance. BTW her type of actions were all to common in the “ no kings” rallies. Those rallies were sponsored by big money with the goal of destabilizing our republic.

Heating up down under

Like Johan.
He's awesome - and led a peer reviewed team of climate scientists and now summarises their work! He's also the world's leading authority on planetary boundaries, and it's such a luminary on it David Attenborough had him on the breaking boundaries series.

Your dismiss all of him was typical of the quality of all your posts. Someone somewhere said something about his methods. So there! Can't listen to him! A random dude on the internet told me....

Don't get me wrong; everyone should do what they're led to do, because The Spirit doesn't lead everyone to do the same thing. But the Spirit never leads us to slander others whether they're protesting in the streets or standing on the sidelines.
So you acknowledge the “Spirit” is not involved in the “ no kings” protests!

Israel-Hamas Thread II

Good, the UN is an anti-semetic organization.
You sound like Netanyahu. They called Australia and Canada in the UK and France anti-Semitic. People supporting the war crimes of Militant Zionism need to come up with a new term, or anti-semitic is going to become meaningless. It will become a cliche that just means anyone who doesn't support Israel's right to mass murder and more crimes and starving a population out.

Didn't happen
It did.
Have you ever studied at the type of bombs they used? The explosive range? I have. There's no way some of those bombs were instruments of precision targeting.

If they did it was to take out Hamas. You know Hamas had tunnels and houses everywhere right? Not just where the fighting was happening at the moment?
I guess that means you can't use soldiers. May as well just nuke the entire area!

They never said that.

Netanyahu himself said it quite publicly around late September. I'm on my phone it's a bit awkward to look up the links for you, in fact because you're the one making this weird assertion you should go have a look yourself.

T.his is true to decades of Israeli policy and statements and any Israeli prime minister that says otherwise seems to be assassinated!
You know who fault this war was? Hamas.
You know who blockaded Gaza for decades and decades against international law? You know it's sociology 101 that if you come in and steal someone's land against international law, and surround them with walls and turn their hometowns into open air prisons, and restrict their trade and travel, and treat them like criminals, and generally behave terribly to them and restrict their economy and even access to reliable electricity - that eventually you're going to face disorder or even a rebellion.

I know the French resistance never did anything as abhorrent as the Hamas attack on innocent Israeli youth at a music festival. Even the French resistance tried to target mainly German military targets.

But make no mistake. Israel have occupied both of these lands against international law for over half a century. The United nations divided up the Middle East in 1947 and gave the Jewish third of the population over half the land. I'm surprisingly Arabs committed some acts of civil disorder. This ended up becoming the 1948 Arab Israeli war in which Israel took even more land than was allocated to them.

A few wars later and we are in the current situation where the Palestinians don't have any of their own land because Israel occupy it all. And continue to settle on it against previous peace agreements and against the Oslo according against international law!

There are over half a million Jewish settlers in the West bank, and it is so occupied that a map of it looks like Swiss cheese, and the little holes are the Palestinian ghettos that Israel have oh so graciously left them. Except keep kicking them out, sometimes murdering inhabitants of homes they want. Meanwhile the western well turns a blind eye because American evangelicals seem to have such a thing for Israel.

Ghettoization becomes concentration in the world's two largest jails, Gaza and the West bank.

The horrible irony is that the very people who fled the ghettos and camps of Nazi Germany are now inflicting many of the same tactics on another people.

But because Israel have the backing of American evangelicals (with all these weird end timetables they want to see happen in the middle east), somehow it's all the Muslims fault. Everything. Even the decades of spiteful mismanagement and encirclement and entrapment and dispossession of land.

That's all the Muslims fault, not wonderful shining Israel!

I'm no advocate for militant Islam either.

Bit I think America is now so far outside normal western values that American Christians especially just cannot seem to handle the cognitive dissonance that hits when facts outside their worldview land on their TV screen.

Matthew 1:21 - He will save His people

-

All of the nation of Israel will be a believer in Jesus, during the 1000 year rule of the Messiah.

The only unbelievers during that time will be gentiles, which is seen where the unbelieving gentiles. Will follow a released satan and attack the Jewish nation. Ezekiel 38 and Revelation 20:7,8,9,10

But you do the same thing. You don't believe that anybody has landed on the moon, and you have said several times that those that say they have, including Christians, are lying.

Of course I would. So I would find a better job and move. Who wants to live and work around racists?

People simply don't want to turn the country into a dictatorship.
The last administration was run by God knows who . It certainly was not Biden ! We were far closer to a “dictatorship “ with unelected staffers and advisors running the country. Trump is no dictator nor does he want to be one. That is just simply unhinged , Trump hating , liberal propaganda.
