  • 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.

Yeah, but it has gotten worse over the past 5 years. That stuff belongs in the privacy of one's own home. :)
Well that would be new, compared to how its been in various cultures over time.

Im rejecting your idea that trans is brand new so who knows what could come next. Its not new. its old.

Must be sobering for conservative Christians to realize their views put them squarely in the minority on social issues, unlike the views of people mentioned above.
Don’t attack anyone. Simple.

Drag is neither woke, new, or a cult. Thats silly.
Depends how you define it.

Some women find drag queens offensive and compare it to blackface.

No, i don’t get to determine if someone finds it offensive it or not.

I personally find drag silky, but don’t care what adults do in their free time, because it doesn’t concern me.

He’s not being silly. It’s gotten much worse over time, and that’s just how he sees it.

It's 2024. For just about anything, you'll find someone who finds it offensive. If you're going to self-censor for "some people", might as well not say anything at all.
Correct.

Imagine if they attacked Muslims or Homosexuals!

How would the left react!

There would be a HUGE outcry and boycott.

tsk tsk tsk
What? You mean like equating gay people in a tableau that looks vaguely like a religious painting as an "attack"? Yes. Imagine if someone did that how the left would react. <Points at dismissals in thread>

For sure. Everyone is easily offended and many are looking for things to be offended by. Ever heard of micro aggressions? Sometimes things are said or done that are in your face and meant to be offensive.

This was one of those things. But like I said, it was perverted and mocking. But I've made the choice not to be offended. I'm leaving that to God.

It it not some new slippery slope to every other thing. It is ancient. Thats my point. If he see it as novel, then hes just ignorant.

Pretty sure “God will make Christians authoritarian rulers of earth” is in my Bible.
He will rule with a rod of iron and we will rule with Him. His word shall cover the earth as waters cover the sea and no one on earth will need to say 'get to know God' for all will know Him. All nations will be broken and He will rule over all. Satan and demons and the truly wicked will be banished from the earth.

Well, I am not a fan of Trump or the left either (I'm a centrist, one of a rare type of people). But, we can both agree that this was the worst Olympics in the history of the games.
You’re going to want to use Wikipedia to look up the 1972 Summer Games in Munich.

Yes, let’s ban “art” that might cause “problems”, that’ll solve everything.
? Let's protect children from evil so called art that is nothing but cloaked demonism. How about the art on the surfboarder's board that had Jesus on it, and was not allowed to participate unless it was changed?? This is not about art it is about God and Satan, good and evil.

I'm sure there were. Mental health issues have always been a part of mankind. We all recognize it and they are most certainly free to experience their mental health issues and deal.with them as they will as adults. What they shouldn't do though is expect society to alter in order to participate in their mental.health issues. If they dress as rhe opposite sex or call themselves the opposite sex that's just fine. No one should object to that. It their issue.

That's going to be an amazing time.

I meant attacking homosexuals as perverts, degenerates etc, name calling. That’s not ok.

Right. I can see where you got “Christians rule in government with an authoritarian hand over the non believers” out of that.
