  • 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.

Has Kirk's Death Prompted You?

i think January 6th proved we are in new territory we have not seen since April 1865.

I respectfully disagree.
Many saw the months of riots in the summer of 2020 as that.
What started out as peaceful protests the first a couple of weeks in late May was taken over by rioters and lasted for months across the nation.
I think J6 was in part a deflection by the Left overall to take focus off of people demanding the rioters be held accountable.
During the 2020 riots even Left leaning leaders encouraged them on. It was horrible.
But then came one day on J6 and it was the perfect storm for the Left to use.

You are actually blaming the Left for J6. No MAGA responsibility.

I didn't say it all was their fault, but they aren't as innocent as they claim to be.
Of course there were some from the Right involved.
Do you think the Left had nothing wrong they did that day?

Charlie Kirk wasn't anymore special than anyone else and he knew that it seems.
We all have the opportunity to be a Charlie whether in person or online.
I didn't follow the guy, but his stuff has been in news feeds more since he was murdered.
I'm angry that a Left leaning person thought the way to handle opinions he didn't like was to murder the person.
That's very dangerous!!
The murderer thought silencing Kirk's voice would take care of that or help, but it's only hurt that expectation.
We need to keep speaking the truth, yes in love and compassion when possible, but speak it and not let them, mostly the Left leaning, shut truth down!!

Whether you were a fan of Charlie's or not, has this prompted you to be more outspoken?
I think about him and pray for him. We know he is with God. He must have got a standing applause. How can we come together and speak? They have start to arrest those who do here. Carried off an elderly man think happened a few times. That just stood and preach. It was called disturbing the peace. I don`t know if one needs permission now. Then again, I`m one person. And as well how the most flock to internet these days. the question is how we go about it. Charlie had a knack for debate and modern issues. I like how he always return to biblical truth. How he managed to twist it. That is a gift. He was right in that we have to reach the young people especially. Maybe we need to do something similar.

No. I do not think “The Left” had anything to do on that day. You have evidence otherwise?
