  • 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.

The Kohen raises his hands, with the palms facing downward and the thumbs of his outspread hands touching. The four fingers on each hand are customarily split into two sets of two fingers each (thus forming the letter Shin (שׁ), an emblem for Shaddai, "Almighty [God]")

Spock from the Star Trek series used this hand gesture as the Vulcan salute by saying "Live long and prosper".

No way, this is Star Trek's famous Vulcan salute. Yo, @Vambram , as you are a Trekkie as well, this info from Tony Chan would be interesting. Ancient priests on Earth used the Spock gesture, centuries before Star Trek did. :)

Leonard Nimoy, the Jewish actor, introduced the gesture into the show.

Fans of the Original Star Trek series, like me, agree that our favorite Star Trek captain is Captain Kirk and his bridge crew was the bestest crew. :)

Agreed. I like TNG a bit better, but TOS is a close second place, then Voyager and DS9 (tied equally). Kirk was a good captain.
