• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

Let's look at the people that Kamala's VP pick surrounds himself with

Oh my. But I’m sure there are Christians who won’t find fault with any of this.

Golly! If only the other candidate was in any way better I could vote for him. Unfortunately, I would vote for an overripe tomato before I voted for him. By all means, continue to bring up topics that point out how much worse the opposition is.

Do you really want to go down the road of comparing the people with whom a candidate associates? lol
It would appear so since I started this OP. But I understand the need to deflect from this.

I’m not deflecting anything, just thinking about how many times Paul Manafort, Steve Bannon, and others in Trump’s circle have been arrested and convicted; how many of his lawyers have been disbarred; how many of his cabinet secretaries and other senior aids resigned under some sort of scandal, etc.

I would like to know what the knife and rose is in reference to. My guess is there’s a literature reference, but I couldn’t find anything more than speculation online.

Why not, that's what the left has been doing since 2016 to a certain person I won't name since this thread is not about him......

I hope not. That would be a problem for those who judge people by who they associate with.
But the left would never judge someone by those they associate with, right (I won't mention a certain someone that this thread is not about so as to not derail it).

I’m sure there are threads on that.

The other candidates are MUCH BETTER than Harris & Waltz.

Bravo to Governor Walz. I'm not sure what you hope to accomplish with this thread - anyone who shares your outrage was never going to vote for the Democratic slate to begin with.

Blah blah blah anti-LGBT nonsense. The only people who will care about this are the hyper-religious sex police types who would never vote for Kamala anyway.

I was hoping to prick the consciences of people who claim to follow Christ.

If I’m being honest.

You're unlikely to do that with a hysterical post like the one to which you linked in your OP. If I go digging into the bill that Walz signed into law, am I going to find that all of that piece's claims about castrating kids are a lie?
