  • 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.

Actress Jamie Lee Curtis was driven to tears this week while talking about Charlie Kirk's death, noting she disagreed with him but hopes he found comfort in his faith as he died.

"I mean, I disagreed with him on almost every point I ever heard him say. But I believe he was a man of faith, and I hope in that moment when he died, that he felt connected to his faith," Curtis said on the "[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] With Marc Maron" podcast Monday.

“Even though I find what his ideas were abhorrent to me, I still believe he's a father and a husband and a man of faith, and I hope whatever 'connection to God' means, that he felt it," she added.

Almost surprising to see a Hollywood actress express sympathy in this situation. Not so surprising to hear her say she disagreed with almost everything he said. I wonder what exactly she was referring to, I'm guessing she might have agreed with him on more things than she might guess, since they seem to both be people of faith. A lot of the outrage I've heard from critics of Kirk are actually from twisting the words of what he said, or taking partial points without including the entire context.

I do appreciate that she considered his faith to be genuine. I also got that impression, and who am I to say it wasn't? I've had numerous left wingers tell me Kirk wasn't a "true Christian", and I guess that is based on his having an opinion that disagreed with theirs.

She has a son that claims to be a woman. So I assume that is where the disagreement was.

I don’t think she is even a religious person. I think her mother was Protestant and her father was culturally Jewish.

I didn’t know she believed in God.

AA ran by the Presbyterian Church? I think that was a typo.

Her father lived quite a long life despite being an addict.

Many Churches participate with AA and AA groups meet in many of them. There are several Churches that do so in my city.

Yup. That’s been my experience as well. Many Churches run them, not just one denomination.

As a Christian, Charlie, like many of us cannot condone the LGBTQ lifestyle or agenda. But we are all sinners. I saw a video today of a student talking with Charlie, who said he was a gay conservative and wondered what the conservative side had to offer him. Charlie welcomed him, gave him a hat, and told him honestly that as a Christian he couldn't condone a gay lifestyle, but that there were other aspects of conservatism that were beneficial to him. He also said that he shouldn't start out identifying himself by his sexual orientation, because that doesn't define who he is. He isn't a "gay" American, he is an American, for instance.

The left sees that as hatred, but I certainly don't see it that way. We are all sinners and all have our individual struggles. We don't want to take rights away from LGBTQ people, we just don't want children being taught they can choose their own gender, or that they should mutilate their God given bodies with sex change surgery and puberty blockers. When they are adults, they can do whatever they want. Of course for the identity politics group, that means war.
