  • 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.

Do any of you deny that we are polluting our Earth to the point of "damaging" it...?

Like, let's put "all the issues facing our nation and our world" all "on the table right now", etc, and then, figure out which issues are the "most pressing ones" that need to be addressed "right now and/or immediately right now", etc, and then, with those issues, or "all those", or "all of all the issues in general", etc, well, then basically figure out how should both prioritize and address them, etc, and "all of them", right now, etc...

I vote for GODLESSNESS for the number one issue which includes LAWLESSNESS

Do any of you deny that we are polluting our Earth to the point of "damaging" it...?

I mean in general or generally speaking...? Are we, or humanity as whole, or as a collectively as a species, etc, globally and worldwide, polluting an/or damaging our earth, to the point of damaging it, or maybe even possibly permanently damaging it or not...?

BTW, I dare any of you to say "not at all" either... or that it's not happening "at all", "ever", etc...? Or that it's not, or should not be, "an important issue on the table right now", etc...?

While it is true that most people are promoting their own agenda's on this, and are trying to make money off it "on both sides" also, etc, from those deny it at all, to those who are inflating an/or blowing it up possibly, and maybe a little bit out of proportion maybe, possibly, etc, (anyway), but, the "real facts is", and the "real facts are", that we are still damaging our planet right now, maybe very much damaging it, etc, and it/that is what needs to be discussed, etc, not that it's not happening at all, but really "how much" really, and "how bad" right now, etc...?

Either way, we are still polluting our earth to the point of damaging it, maybe seriously damaging it, and maybe even to the point of "irreparably", or "ir-repair-ably" damaging it, etc... Like I said, IDK, and that is what needs to be discussed, etc, not that it's not happening "at all", but how much, and how bad, and how fast, really...? Or is really happening, or are we doing it, etc...? And we need "neutral perspectives" on this, etc... Not "biased" either way, etc, or that are not trying to promote, or else deny, some kind of, hidden or otherwise, "agenda", etc... and we most definitely do not need any kind of people who are trying to make "money" off of it either way, either, etc... Since this is happening on "both sides", etc...

We (humanity in general) are still being very irresponsible as a species when it comes to our entire planet, etc... And mostly for "money", etc, and/or "convenience", etc... Or conveniences that make money despite the environmental impact(s), etc... and this is also why some want to flat out deny it is happening at all and want to convince others it doesn't exist at all, etc...

Anyway, but, the "real truth is" the "damage" is happening, etc... but, how bad really, etc...? and what must we do or start doing to slow it down or make it stop, etc...? Do we need to do something "right now", or do we have some "time", etc... Just "what" and "how drastic of steps" do we need to take and/or be taking and/or implementing right now, etc, and into the future, etc...?

And what happens if, collectively as a planet, if we do "absolutely nothing about it at all right now", etc...?

Comments...?

God Bless!

I vote less misuse of "etc"

What law is Trump bound by or does he hold to or live up to?

Or what "God" does he live by or hold to, etc?

But, I do agree Godlessness and lawlessness are some of our major number one issues though :)

God Bless!

That could be asked of a political party that have a plank in their platform for the killing of babies in the womb.

Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

That's exactly why I don't identify with either one of them, but have decided to go and find my own way, and I'm hoping it's God's way, etc, cause neither one of theirs is, etc...

I think our leadership has failed us and doesn't exist anymore, etc...

I have my own views on abortion, but I don't think it should be turned into or become a "business" by any means, etc, that's such an "extreme perversion" that words cannot even fully say or express or explain if you ask me, etc, but, there is just as much evil on the "other side" as well, etc...

Like I said, I think our leaders and the system has failed us, etc...

I don't think any of them are held up to any
kind of law or God, other than the current headlines of the day and popular opinion polls and how they want to twist or spin the headlines of, and/or manipulate or dominate the people of the or that day, etc...

God Bless!

Ah yes, the good old tactic of "You can't criticise us, you're killing babies".

not a tactic but a stated truth do you disagree?
I disagree with trying to shut opposition up with accusations that aren't part of the debate. No matter what aspect of politics are discussed, as soon as you guys pull the abortion card, you're basically admitting that you have nothing of substance to defend your point, so you're trying to shame your critics into silence or at least try to devalue their criticism.

I defended the right of Americans to have free speech
and will again if necessary.

Do you think that abortion should never, ever be allowed ever, etc, under "any kind of situations and/or circumstances", ever, etc...?

It's a lack of compassion to say it should never, ever, ever be allowed ever, etc...

I love how they think so many of these issues are so black and white though...

God Bless!

Never

I support the death penalty for rape.
Deuteronomy 22:25
But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.

I support adoption which I have done

I trust GOD
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

There are "other situations and circumstances" that should be considered also though maybe, but in order to allow them, you have to allow them for everybody and not discriminate, is the problem, etc...?

What do you think about the "morning after pill" and things like that, etc, contraceptives, etc...?

And, you might want to ask all the unwanted, abandoned and forsaken children if they would even like to be born knowing the kind of life they might have to face and/or go through or live through also maybe, etc...?

God Bless!

Look sometime, if you haven't, at one of the many articles in which entirely reputable scientists identify 50 or so entirely plausible ways the human species could be gone, almost literally overnight. Putting aside the Second Coming and other religious notions, this is how pollution and the rape of the environment will be "solved." Human nature being what it is, humans will never "solve" (or even attempt to solve, in any meaningful way) the impending disaster toward which they are speeding. You might as well ask some flesh-eating bacteria to rethink what he's doing for the greater good of the body.

We'd need to prioitize them based on likely likelihood and other factors, etc, and priortize them and adress them one at a time, etc...

We have to "try", etc...

Do what we can, etc...

You don't think that's important, etc...?

God Bless!

The problem is, who is "we"? If "we" doesn't include China and India and every major industrialized nation, the remaining "we" are only going to be putting lipstick on a pig. Listening to as much Christian and conservative radio as I can stand, the concerns are consistently minimized and laughed at, treated as some sort of political fraud or demonic ploy. And that's by intelligent people right here in the U.S.! So what are the chances China and India are going to join the "we"? I think the toilet has already been flushed, and there's no un-flushing it at this point.
