  • 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.

Wow, I would've never guessed that when a team of women trans men joined a men's soccer league in Spain, they'd lose their opening match 19-0. Neverwould've guessed.



Yep, that’s a shocker.

You believe that the only potential danger of transgender ideology to our society is the effect that it has on sports?
No, I didn’t say that. I’m saying it’s not the least of our concerns.

The phrase "least of our concerns" is to say that the matter is not as important as others.

I initially claimed that the effect the transgender ideology has on sports is the "least of our concerns" - meaning that it is not as important as how it will affect other things.

Do not agree with that or not?

No. It greatly affects other things because of how people are influenced by what celebrities do and say.

You keep claiming you disagree with me but then immediately agree with me.

To you - is transgender ideology good or bad?

I said that the focus on sports was not important at all. I said that it was the least of our concerns.

Do you believe that the focus on sports in regard to this issue is of the utmost importance or not?

Do you think your diety made them lose a game of football because of their mockery?

And I disagree that it’s the least of our concerns. I think being concerned about how this is impacting sports is an important consideration because of how sports interacts with society.
Do you believe that the focus on sports in regard to this issue is of the utmost importance or not?
No, not the utmost. But not the least, either.

It's more that there is no victory without God. Those who mock God will eventually have cause to mourn.

Especially in football.
Do you have any evidence that teams with a higher percentage of devout christians win more often in games of football?

Who knows? It's all under his Providential care.

I don't have the mind of God.

To be fair, I don't think God really cares about sports, but DOES CARE if he's mocked.
