  • 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.

Sounds like an official statement from the morality police putting bad-judgement parents on notice.
At least we know the goals of the big government GOP types passing and supporting these laws - taking power away from individual parents and putting anonymous bureaucrats in charge of making decisions about their children. One can imagine this is only the beginning. Today it's who can read to them, who knows what's next? Forced church attendance if the parents are making the "wrong" decisions?

Have you asked the kids what they think of the subject? Are they getting entertainment and education out of it? Do they feel at risk or uncomfortable? Are they being forced against their will into some deviant lifestyle?

I'm pretty sure we all know the answers here.

It seemed like we had a breakthrough with admitting this was all about the feeling that certain minority groups were icky. Now we've fallen back to empty platitudes to hide from that fact. Makes one wonder why there'd be a need if the reasons were as solid as the asserted confidence about them.
You know nothing about me but the more you make assumptions the more I learn about you.

To have a reasonable discussion one has to have reason. You have already stated that you not only reject others reasoning but have none to offer yourself. That would seem to preclude reasonable discussion with anyone. :wave:
Thanks for offering your opinion! Noted!

Interesting. You can learn about others from reading what they write, but others cannot read your writings and learn about you.

You are taking all of this too personal.

Just what you've posted. Should we not believe what you've written?
You make zero sense and I'm done talking to you because nothing constructive is happening with this conversation.

But, I do wish you the best and will pray for you.

Have a good one.

Zero sense? Yet another empty accusation to avoid uncomfortable questions that arose from previous posts. Par for the course, I guess.

No wonder the far right is alienating mainstream America with all of this culture war nonsense - none of it has any reasonable backing that stands up to even the most basic scrutiny, and normal people seem pretty reluctant to let a minority dictate the rights of others based simply on random feelings that those minorities are icky. Even a basic awareness of history will show what a terrible idea that is.

Say, Ordinary Christian- are you referring to this kind of thing?

We've been though this before. Doctors, teachers, police officers, coaches, bus drivers, and psychotherapists have sexually assaulted children.

San Jose therapist arrested for sexually assaulting special needs child

Lots of guys in your profession have been child molesters. Not because behavioral therapists are child molesters, but because child molesters become therapists to have access to children.

I'll leave it in for your post.

Yup.

Must be a familiar taste to you.


No wonder the far right

Far right = everyone right of you.


is alienating mainstream America

Are they? Children are increasingly rejecting the woke nonsense you so easily swallowed. Men are quickly doing the same.


with all of this culture war nonsense -

The conservative right didn't promote any new garbage takes on US society....or even scientific reality....in the past ten years.

That's all been on the left.

1. Men can be women and vice versa.
2. Systemic racism is a real and significant problem.
3. The solution to #2 is systemic racism against the "racists". Aka Anti-racism.
3. White privilege.
4. Defund the police.
5. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion.
6. Seeking extra judicial punishment of people who disagree is a good thing. AKA cancel culture.
7. Debate bad...never debate.

Those are all pretty garbage ideas the left has not only trotted out like they're new (they're just recycled Marxist and Black radical liberationist chum)....but bleated repeatedly by leftish sheep who pretend they understand them.

Can you think of 7 new political ideas the right has mainstreamed on its own in the past 10 years?

And please...don't waste our time by saying that the right rejecting the left's new garbage is a "new far right idea".

There's plenty on the left who reject part or most of this nonsense.

'Nunez was also a part-time instructional aide'

Do not a therapist.

Keep reading.......
I think I've made my point. A therapist (behavioral therapist, psychotherapist, as well as a psychiatrist or psychologist) is just as likely to be a child molester as a pastor.

You have not. The guy was an aide. Tell me, what academic qualification did he have so that he may be called a therapist?

That was the first one. However it says:

Alejandro Lopez Nunez was a behavioral therapist with Trumpet Behavioral Health, which cares for clients on the autism spectrum. The company confirmed to KTVU that he has since been terminated and an internal review is underway. Nunez was also a part-time instructional aide at Forest Hill Elementary School when police say the alleged assault occurred.

So he was a behavioral therapist who was also a part-time instructional aide at Forest Hill Elementary School.

I went to his employer’s website and there is no position of behaviour therapist. The closest thing was behaviour technician. The only position that comes close to the professional title Psychotherapist is ‘Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs)’.

Which this guy is clearly not. He’s a support worker.

That took me all of ten minutes on a phone to find out.

How about Mitchell Takata? You're completely missing the point of course. Which I suspect is intentional. Since you seem to get so much satisfaction out of posting about pedophiles who become pastors, you'll even revive a thread from last year to do it. Your point being, is that since there are pedophiles who become pastors, Christians have no business saying anything about kids being sexualized by wokeness combined with LGBTQQIP2SAA+. So I think I'll just ignore it from now on since you're just doing it to goad me.

If their guardians think children going to those places is fine, I'm not going to stop them. I may or may not think it's appropriate, developmentally speaking, but it's not my place to infringe on their right to parent their children. Also, children need to learn about sex at some point, and it's mostly social mores (many of them vestigial) rather than sound policy that dictate when that learning starts.
Then you disagree with California's new law that allows the government/schools to subvert the parents knowledge regarding their child being involved in transgender therapy/transition?
