  • 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.

Again, who specifically has been assaulted? Who specifically has done the assaulting?

These are not complicated questions.
We're talking about saying someone else should be assaulted.... not about an assault that happened.

Nope, that's not it either...keep trying.
See, I think that is the connection. Trump had loads of enterprises that went bankrupt, other people holding the bag, vendors not paid, etc, while he made out like a bandit.

I'm not sure thats the business model I'd want from a pres.

No, "we" are not. Someone said...

they do cause a lot of harm .
... and I have two questions: Who has been harmed/assaulted? And who did the harm/assaulting?

So far, I've gotten heaps of pearl-clutching and moralizing but no specifics. This, btw, in spite of for, now, the fourth time.

His portfolio has over 500 items in it. Of those, I'm only aware of something like six or seven that went bankrupt.

Any investor in the world would consider that a solid portfolio. What does your look like, btw?

At the risk of death-gripping my pearls, I'm gonna say it: people in a position of influence and respect talking about how other people should be assaulted is harmful to our society.

Prove your insinuation that is what is happening to the country, that we'll go bankrupt, or whatever your dream includes. If you cannot prove it, you are doing just as the OP, making empty claims, a Democrats specialty. :)

My portfolio includes zero bankruptcies. Not that its relevant at all to the discussion.

Youre making this too much of a chore. Sorry.

What is the "harm" you speak of, precisely. I can sit here and call you a mean person but if I can't give any details on why, my comment is no more than a lie as far as anyone else can see...get it?

If you can't see how saying you think Jesus would beat somebody up, and you regret not doing so yourself, is an assault on someone's dignity (because they are deemed an object worthy of violence), then I am afraid there is no hope of elucidating the issue further.

Funny, as I understood it, bottom line was, Trump ran his business well enough to become rich. Are you really not aware of that?

He ran his business "well" by scamming people and using the tax code to write off loses.

Sorry.

Hilarious, yet classic...I like that.

Then you cannot prove any such thing? And you made it a chore when you made the claims. I wonder if I can get away with such an excuse, "Sorry, proof is too much of a chore"

lol

Harm is being done by Rodney Howard-Browne and whoever agrees with him that Jesus would have acted by the credo “Liars and snitches get black eyes and stitches.”

The people being harmed are the one’s who will see that Christ and want nothing to do with him. The insanity is a stumbling block for people to come to faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior because this Jesus doesn’t sound kind nor loving though he does sound like he could get a job in your local mob.

I know it’s an old fashioned view because Christianity these days isn’t about turning people to Christ. It is about amassing political power.

Trump University?

Plus he was a notorious slumlord and he had a history of deceiving local municipalities that did business with him.

You really should realize by now, just saying it simply does not make it true, answer the questions, prove it.

It's getting very hard to take anything you say seriously, but here is your chance to fix that.

The Many Scandals of Donald Trump: A Cheat Sheet

Trump gets sued yet again over shady business dealings

Take your pic. It doesn't take alot of work to find Trump's dirt, just a little bit of fingers on the keyboard in Google.

Frankly, I don't care anymore if you take me seriously or not. You have demonstrated yourself to be an unreasonable person who lives in the sort of alternative reality that characterizes many of Trump's religious supporters, which this discussion was originally addressing.

Keep in mind that when you're hearing from Trump's "religious supporters" in the News & Current Events, or Discussion and Debate, or any of the Political sections of this site, the discussion is going to be centered around politics rather than religious or spiritual aspects of an issue.
