  • 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.

Fascism or socialism, either leads to tyranny. But the single biggest indicator for the rise of tyranny is a single-party state, whatever the ideology, Once other parties are eliminated or marginalized, no Constitution can save you.
I agree with you entirely, though the second biggest indicator for the rise of tyranny is extremist propaganda. Later this week, I will watch a documentary about how the 1936 Olympics was operated in the fascist nation of Nazi Germany, and how tensions were high back then. The movie is Race (2016). China has a single party state, if I am not mistaken, along with North Korea and a few other nations. Have you noticed the propaganda from the American far-right over the past few years? It echos 1930s Germany, and is pretty scary stuff.

Race (2016) Plot: In 1933, Jesse Owens attends Ohio State University; the first in his family to attend college. He faces racial discrimination from some white athletes. Coach Larry Snyder, a former Olympic-level athlete, believes Owens has enormous potential but needs work on his form and technique. When Snyder suggests he is good enough to compete at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, Owens is interested, but hesitant because of racial propaganda in Nazi Germany.

Clearly it is, though, since your answer is “but Christianity is right” and not answering the question I asked.
My standard is God’s word. I have no idea what yours is.

Yeah, the Day of Visibility was founded in 2009, but Biden could have moved the day to the summer instead, to avoid conflict with Easter, which is a 3% probability per year, or he could have announced the trans stuff on March 31 of 2023 instead of March 31, 2024. Both parties have lost their classiness over the past 20 years.

You can go to my Demonic Olympics Intro thread, if you want the Olympics Ceremony cleared up. The IOC apologized for references to the Last Supper. The intro was partially Greek in style, and partially referencing the Last Supper.

Hi Alex,

Easter is not on the same day each year and can share that day with other days. Other events that can happen on the same day as easter, Holi (Hindu festival) and Eid (for Muslims).

Since we have Americans who are Hindu and Muslim, and if the President wished those Americans with Happy Holi or Eid Mubarak, would you have a problem with that and want the President to only wish people Happy Easter ? If so, why ? If not, why not ?

Not you, some other poster is currently explaining to me what my process to getting a hysterectomy has really been like. I was under the impression it has taken more than a year, but he says otherwise.

I was always under the impression I was a woman, but people tell me new things about myself on here all the time. It’s hard keeping straight what I think I am from what I’m told I am.
What does any of this have to do with the topic?

Also incorrect. They do not remove or "chop off" male parts during gender reassignment, they reconfigure them to where they would have been if they were born female.
Oh, the semantics. There was a penis, and then there wasn’t.

True. But in order to avoid controversy, just for 2024, Biden could have skipped trans day. Transgenderism is not a religion, so the Hindu and Muslim analogy fails there.

The analogy does not fail. March 31st is a day designated for Transgender day of visibility. Holi and Eid can also change days like Easter. There are transgender americans. Why should they be sidelined in favor of Easter (or even Holi or Eid)?

You did not answer my question. Should the president recognize those 2 days if it falls on the day of Easter or not ? And why ?

No. The president should ideally not recognize any holidays, and just do his/her job at serving the American people, or instead, recognize multiple religious holidays.

If you click back, you’ll be able to follow the thread.
All I know is that we were talking about children and you brought up your hysterectomy.

Well, you can quote what I said and post it here.......I know that's a huge amount of work and effort but maybe you can exert yourself just this once?
I did quote it the initial reply to you. When you can't be bothered to even remember your own words or flick your wrist to click a post, you don't get to insult me or the amount of effort I put in.

Just so we are clear, when it comes to trans awareness day, as per your post earlier, Biden should have moved it because it fell on Easter. But when I brought up the possibility that other religious holidays could also fall on that day, your position now is that the president should not wish anyone on anything. So no Happy Holi, No Happy Easter or Eid Mubarak. Am I understanding you correctly ? Please feel free to correct me if I am not.

You think it’s funny that God’s word is my standard? Interesting.
I find it funny you assume your version is Gods version. Or everybody’s consensus it’s Gods word. Or that you think either matters in a government that supports all religions.

You just want to surrender to Muslims. I can’t see that being in line with scripture.

Nobody is gonna vote for Democrats if they keep on pushing trans stuff onto minors. Back in 2020, I voted Democrat. In 2024, that is less likely for me to happen, and I might vote 3rd party, cos this woke nonsense has got to go. Democrats were much better 10 to 50 years ago, same with Republicans. We need another John McCain in 2024.
