  • 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.

Thank you Alex. I’m leaving now too. I don’t want to spend any more time debating with someone who clearly opposes Christian morals and values.
You are welcome. Worst case scenario, do not give attention to the extremely progressive woke Christians, and place these folk(s) on block. I have had to do that a few times. See you on the other parts of the forums, friend in Christ. :)

Why does my town’s German club have an Oktoberfest every September? Why does the local school have an alumni week? Why does our cancer hospital have a huge festival weekend? Because they’re fun. Because they’re proud. Because they want to connect with people of similar interests. Because they’re raising money. Because why not?


Actually; statistically speaking mine is the widely accepted Christian perspective.

I also know a lot of people too and I’ve never heard a single person describe gay people as “weird,” much less that thinking something is “weird” is the basis for legation.
Me thinks you need to read the Bible regarding LGBT issues.

Blessings

Since one of the chief aims of American military expeditions is to bring 'democracy' to the four corners of the world, and democracy includes LGBT 'rights', I don't see how you can't avoid discussing it. Part of the price of US military support is LGBT rights. This is why Ukraine has been liberalizing and becoming less Christian.
Lol doesn’t democracy include religious rights and freedom of speech as well?

Ideally but realistically the USA doesn't fight wars so that religious minorities can practice their religion. They do not seem to care about Christian minorities in the middle East.

Let me re word myself. I don’t care who someone sleeps with. It’s literally none of my business.

I could literally meet anyone.

Maybe I came off as too harsh. My bad.
I did not see anything you said as harsh. Frustrated? Understandably.
