  • 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.

Please pray for my state of Nebraska, that they will make abortion illegal, and the Planned Parenthood in Lincoln will shut down. Lord, hear our prayer.

I don't plan to watch it live. I may watch it after the fact. But I'm very glad he's throwing his hat into the ring.

Yeah I'm definitely curious what he has to say...

They had technical issues in the start, scaling problems and such Musk said.

But it's not video, just audio in the Twitter-verse...

The field is turning out to be an interesting one, possibly more interesting than 2016. I already have my pick for the primaries but I'll be interested to see how the debates go.

Does anyone know about any other places on the planet where the mainstream culture is still relatively conservative?

I'm tired of this modern society being dominated with liberal or leftist opinion in media, entertainment, indoctrinated in the young via our schools, etc. Why can't there be a culture where it's the other way around once?

Maybe check some South-Eastern European countries like the Balkans? By all accounts, they are pretty conservative.

Almost any non-English speaking country is relatively conservative compared to the USA.

If you prefer some that are above average conservative, then in the EU for example Poland, Hungary, Malta, some parts of Italy, then many Asian countries, muslim countries...

But do not expect the specific American form of conservatism.

Why is Satan allowed to have dominion over America forever? We have been in steep moral decline and getting worse every day (not that it is just the US). And within the last decades nothing has been done to stop or slow the takeover and now it is extremely dark. I don't want to start a debate about Satan or the devil, I am just mourning and questioning why has it been allowed to go on this long.

Bible prophecy points to the United States as being the beast that rises out of the earth. It has two horns like a lamb but speaks like a dragon. If you read Revelation 13 and 17, this beast (kingdom/power) is prophesied to help bring in the mark of the beast. The moral decline is also prophesied by Jesus in Matthew 24. "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold". He said it would be, "as in the days of Noah." Genesis 6:5 describes the state of the world in Noah's day. "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." If Bible prophecy indeed points to the United States as the beast that rises out of the earth, then it makes total sense why America is the way it is. It is going to get much worse before Jesus returns.

Huh, who would have thought that America itself will be the beast that brings in this evil global order?

Nobody in the first century. They were the target audience.

Before I say anything, I want to explain where I come from... I grew up in the Republican home, both of my parents voted Republican.

I, along with my wife, both registered and voted Republican in 2020. for both of us, it was our first time voting, And we both voted for Donald Trump. I admit, I bought the hype... I bought the belief that Donald Trump was one of was going to win in a landslide in 2020... yet that never happened.

After watching the documentary 2000 Mules, I became utterly convinced that there was some type of election interference that occurred during that election, and it completely dissuaded me from ever voting again. Now let's fast forward to yesterday... what happened yesterday was it travesty. A nightmare. A failed attempt to take someone's life and light of how we now know that the shooter was a registered Republican I am personally convicted at the thought of sitting this out this year and not voting... after seeing what happened, the desire to vote has been rekindled, and is a fire blazing in the heart of my soul... having said that, I still wonder if it's even worth it.

I am conflicted in my heart about all of this, about the election, about republican turnout, about Election interference... I'm still wondering whether I should even go vote this November or not...
I know Donald Trump is saying "too big to rig", but with how entrenched Democrats and fake Republicans are in our government there is only so much that a registered voter can do to try and prevent election interference. What is the point in voting in this upcoming election when the odds are stacked so heavily against us? I find it hard to tell myself it's going to get better, trump is going to win, because of the fiasco that we saw in 2020.

I am genuinely concerned where this nation is headed, and I don't want to see Joe Biden become president again... I don't believe for a second that this nation can survive another four years of him, let alone I don't think Joe Biden can live another 4 years seeing the state had these currently in right now physically wise...

however, we also see that the Democrat Party is quicker to remove Joe Biden and put someone else in the leadership role, such as Gavin Newsom, or Kamala Harris, or even Michelle Obama... they are willing to do anything and everything they can to usurp the Republicans foothold... I'm genuinely at odds with myself about this, and I hope I'm not the only one out there who feels like this... it's maddening, it's conflicting, it's confusing, it's I feel hopeless and defeated with this... I'm trying not to, but it's really hard not to see that Why should I believe that this election is going to be any different than the last one? The last one, allegedly we had a gigantic amount of support, yet that was a flat out lie, apparently, if you believe that the numbers are indeed accurate... I am indeed a Christian, but even as a simple human being, that doesn't mean I have fears, or anxiety over the current political situation...

I'm asking all of you:
is any one else going through this?
what is it that you're doing to encourage yourself to think that this will make a difference?
