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.

In a post on social media, Trump said the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route, would be "open to all" once the deal is agreed.
Pakistan, a key mediator, also said the deal was expected to be finalised within 24 hours and they were "preparing for the electronic signing".
Before Trump's comments, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei expressed caution over the timeline, saying: "We will have to wait and see about the exact date of the signing of the memorandum of understanding, although it will not be tomorrow."
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: "The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL."
In an apparent reference to Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles, Trump said that "at the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust", adding it would later be destroyed.

Tim Allen reflects on finding God after prison sentence, regrets he carries
- By Michie
Actor Tim Allen recently opened up about the role faith has played in his life and the lessons he has learned after three decades of sobriety, and what it means to be part of the “Toy Story” movies, a franchise that has connected with multiple generations of families.
During an interview with Us Weekly, the actor and comedian said he remains amazed by the lasting appeal of "Toy Story," which debuted in 1995. The actor noted that few people involved with the original film anticipated the cultural phenomenon it would become.
“When we first saw 'Toy Story,' everybody was in the room going, 'I don't know what to make of this.' [The] powers-that-be were very unsure it would [translate]. [They] thought, 'Maybe we just go right to DVDs,'" Allen said.
Three decades later, the franchise is preparing to release its fifth installment. Allen said he was particularly struck by the film's willingness to address children's relationship with technology.
“They’re into tech, and yet they’re putting a light on their own tech,” Allen said.
At a screening of “Toy Story 5,” Allen, the voice of Buzz Lightyear, said the room became quiet during a scene depicting children absorbed in their phones. The actor praised Pixar, calling it courageous to re-encourage kids to play."
Beyond "Toy Story," Allen has built a career that includes starring roles in the "Santa Clause" film series and the television sitcoms "Home Improvement” and "Last Man Standing.” Allen now stars in the ABC comedy series "Shifting Gears," playing the lead character Matt Parker.

What a leanthy load of nonsense.They did it first!! Therefore pointing out the error is moot!!! How is running with something you supposedly know is wrong a good decision?
You objected to the "gestating" and "non-gestating" language on the documents and said that "mama" and "dada" are the first words everyone says. You are correct that you did not specifically say that the first words everyone saysshould be used instead of the more clinical and inclusive language that you mocked.
I did not mock you - I mocked the idea.
I have not attacked you but the idea that "mama" and "dada" should be used instead of "gestating" and "non-gestating" - and I stand by this. Also that if one doesn't understand what pronouns are maybe shouldn't pontificate on the importance of them.
If "snarky jabs" on ideas are too upsetting, then use the ignore function. Or - here's an idea! - treat others how you wish to be treated. Post with respect and good faith and that will more likely be returned to you.
Sorry, bud, attacking then crying victim describes your routine; there have been several posts about you doing this from which you seem to be cribbing.
Is it possible to stick to the contents of the post and stop making personal remarks about me? TIA.

On April 10, 2018, Montagnard Church of Christ leader Y Pum Bya was arrested during a police raid at a church member’s home during an unregistered church meeting. He was accused of spreading false information about Vietnam’s violations of minority rights, and religious freedom, in order to convince people to join efforts to establish an independent state.
At the police station, he was interrogated, tortured, and forced to sign a statement agreeing to stop worshipping in a group while belonging to the Gospel Missionary Church.
Y Pum Bya had previously been threatened with arrest for his religious activities. On March 15, 2017, he requested permission to register unregistered religious activities in Ea Dron Commune, but his request was rejected and police threatened him with arrest and imprisonment if he continued to engage in his religious activities.
