  • 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.

    Will Republicans allow Democrats to govern?

    I certainly hope not. I was looking forward to 2 years of ineffective government.

    Define communism

    uh, none of the above? Communism is an application of Marxist political economy, in a society which has yet not achieved industrialization (or rostovian "take-off" if you will). (<-- economist in the real world. you can tell by my maldjustment and my general abrasiveness)

    Declining morals!

    You misunderstand me. I am saying that my structure is decidedly Intolerant. I hold my standard to be absolute, and I do not care if there are degnerates who differ in opinion. I would not start valuing a Warhol at their selling rates, no matter how many people value it such. In the same...

    Liberal

    You are not "born" a leftist. You choose to wear the title. As such, if you do not like being thrown in as a group with them, there is a rather simple and elegant solution- stop labeling yourself as one.

    Declining morals!

    The difference is in "tolerance". Just because someone else is of the opinion that rape, female circumcision, etc, is OK doesn't mean it is, or that I should not work to prevent it.

    Why are there so many libs in a Christian forum?

    I'm sure you are quite presumptiously arrogant about it. It is a real shame it won't do anyone a lick of good without any sort of rationality to back it up. And that really is the best case scenario; the bleeding hearts adventures in some developing nations have actually quite hurt their...

    Liberal

    lol, thats why I see the labor theory of value being promoted by the Leftists, what, 100 years after being throughly demolished? Thats why I see neo-mercantilism in their approach to globalization. Thats why I see minimum wage, possibly the most insidious of all wealth transfers (from unskilled...

    Atheism, not religion, is the real force behind the mass murders of history

    Why, the common good, of course. One of the most hungry of the Gods requiring blood sacrfice. Smith et all, actually do not promise increased wealth, per say. That comes later, with ricardo, and specialization etc, etc. The big promise of the economists up to the benthamites is increased...

    Why are there so many libs in a Christian forum?

    Why are there so many libs on a christian forum? Because a soft heart will frequently extend to a person's mind.

    Liberal

    i despise modern liberals for forcing me to vote for the republican party. To be honest though, i've stopped giving them the pleasure of their loot'd title. Leftist is the proper term for that Frankensteinian Monster of the Democratic party, a reanimated corpse of Classical Liberalism without...

    Declining morals!

    Jane, relativism is pure nonesense. If all of society got together, and decided to harvest the organs of the homeless (for utilitarian principals), i would oppose it. Karma, god doesn't solve this problem either. If he commanded to harvest the organs, I would oppose it, despite God's...

    Atheism, not religion, is the real force behind the mass murders of history

    fanaticism killed them, really. Marxism has all the credentials of any other "faith"- a cornucopic future, a divine prophet, and an abandoment of rationality requirements-even the strong aversion to other faiths

    is god relevent to morality?

    :shock: Are you suggesting that morality is not absolute, but rather subject to the historical culture in which it is found?

    Declining morals!

    Crime is up? If you compare modern murder rates to, say, the murder rates in 16th century they are actually exponentially lower. I don't think this is a result of a loosening of traditional moral power sources, but rather a byproduct of increased wealth. As for moral relativism, yes, it is pure...

    is god relevent to morality?

    If god asked you to do something rather unsavory such as ~Judges Would it be right to do so? I think it is pretty unfair to ask if you would personally kill your neighbors and rape their prepubscent daughters, but i'm just curious as to the ethics of it. Was their actions moral?
