  • 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

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?
I doubt you’ll find an issue with it.

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

If I’m being honest.
Then your choice to post it in the non Christian section seems odd.

Do you really want to go down the road of comparing the people with whom a candidate associates? lol
Aren't we known by the company we keep?

Ya never know. I'm not on board with some of the most extreme trans ideology. I'd be happy to look at what's actually in the bill (as opposed to not-the-bee's spin on it).

I’m sure it’s available online.

I find myself unbothered by the ramifications of the article cited in the OP. Although I'm worried that Kamala's VP pick might be a little too liberal for my tastes, he does seem to display a notable lack of bigotry so far.

There is no non-Christian area on Christian Forums.
There most certainly are or I would not be allowed to post here. But you knew that and deflected to semantics instead of dealing directly with the implications.

This is the politics area I post in. So there’s that.

I don’t know what you mean.
It's right in the quoted text. There is a link box and the visible text is about marrying a college sweatheart and moving to Ohio. Nothing at all about VP Harris.

“Meanwhile, Kamala is over here picking normal people like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for her administration. Check out his own lieutenant governor:”

Don't know how you see that on this page. What I see is "Ladies and gentlemen (and I do mean ladies and gentlemen), did you know that marrying your college sweetheart, settling down in Ohio, and having three kids is weird? That's what I keep hearing about JD Vance."
