  • 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.

I’m voting for Trump because he’s a white man.

Seems like a legit reason to me.
I like it. They voted for a black because he was black. Now they will vote for a part black because it's a female and part black. If you'd like to find and discuss with those who feel this way, look for those which whine about how terrible white skin is and how sorry they feel about possibly having an ancestor that may or may not have had slaves, or knew someone who knew someone in another state that did.

Let's face facts here. Its okay to vote for a person because she's a woman, it's not sexist. It's okay to vote for a Black person becauae their black, that's not racist. It's okay to vote for a black woman, becauae they are a woman and they are black, that's not sexist or racist.

It's not okay to vote for a white man because he is white and a man, that's sexist and racist.

It’s apparently ok because they’re minorities? Who knows?

Where are the threads on this forum where a member has posted that they are voting for either Kamala or Obama because they are black?

If I was standing for office and someone told me that they voted for me because of my skin colour and my gender then I'd ask them why they thought that was more important than my policies.

I watched a video the other day with street interviews. There were black people saying that they couldn’t think of anything Harris had done to earn their vote, but they’d vote for her because she was a black woman.

So it doesn’t have to be from something on this forum.

That certainly didn’t happen in ‘08.

You think I was just referring to just people on this forum? I mean there are people here who can't vote in the the US.

OK, but you decided to bring that here, and put yourself into that position.
You see these people are role models? You feel this is the way you want to present yourself in future?
You are setting a "good" example for others? You want to promote and encourage this bahaviour?

I mean, I could see somewhere on the interenet some idiot doing really disgusting things, so do I then rush to Christian Forums and present myself in an equally disgusting way? Is that what you are are trying to model? Do you want members of this forum to do that?

That was a genuine request. What is the point of this thread? Is it an honest statement of your intent?

I read a reports about the election back then.
What I said still stands. It would also stand if someone told me that they voted for a person simply because they were white or black or male or female. I'd ask them why they did that and why didn't they consider their policies.

Is that how you feel? Because someone else did it, then it's a good idea for you, too?

I doubt the original poster was being honest. In fact all the posts I've seen from them in this forum shows me they are a right wing, Trump and republican supporter.
