  • 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.

    What will your grandchildren say?

    It may! Religions tend to see their doctrines as facts instead of what they are metaphor and symbols for something higher. When the "facts" fail, there is nothing to fall back on.

    Good! Being more careful is the first step on the road.

    What will your grandchildren say?

    You are right there! It is a Spiritual connection. However, and I know I will get into trouble here, it is not the only one. But it is the one that works for you. More power to you!!:clap:

    Christmas! Not to early to think about this!

    Enjoy your new Christmas experiences. I have spent many a Christmas in hot weather! It is not so bad - no ice to slip on, no snow to shovel and one can go for a swim on Christmas Day! However, in the Philippines you probably don’t get ice and snow anyhow. Enjoy!

    Christmas! Not to early to think about this!

    It is indeed! But for some it is just another day of struggle. Dont we have a duty to them?

    Christmas! Not to early to think about this!

    ADDRESSED TO NO ONE IN PARTICULAR. Perhaps I should quit while I am ahead. But I have to say this. I meant no offence but it seems I opened up a hornets nest of misunderstandings. The trouble with the written word is that most of us, myself included, are not good enough writers to express the...

    Does it have to be? Can't we change, one person at a time?

    PS to all you folks who think I am judging. Did you notice, in my original posting that I said "WE?" I have been as guilty as anyone else!

    You and I agree more than you think.

    Christmas! Not to early to think about this!

    My remarks were not directed at those who understand the festival, and no, I do not know you but I know more than you think. I know many who are judged and condemned by people of all faiths, because of what they are, or are not. This is not good! I perceived that you have been judged and...

    Christmas! Not to early to think about this!

    I see by your post that you are a Christian with issues, " personally i dont follw the whole WWJD it was a marketing scheme more than nething just like those sad testaMINTS..." As for men not going to Church as often as women, look into a church sometime! But you are right, it is not true for...

    Christmas! Not to early to think about this!

    Again, show me where I am wrong! I am not judging you. Just commenting on how it is, for many. If it does not apply to you, good! By the way, I do know your ways. I studied for the Christian Ministry.

    Christmas! Not to early to think about this!

    Judgmental garbage? Where? All I was doing was to show the Christian what an outsider sees. A wise Christian will read it and accept or not. I hope he would be grateful for the view. Guilt isn't a Buddhist concept. What guilt? Can you show me where I am wrong? All that I mentioned happens - to...

    Christmas! Not to early to think about this!

    P.S. as for people in general. Would it hurt them to adopt the things I said? I am a Buddhist with many Christian family and friends. I have done it. Has not killed me yet!
