  • 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.

    If abortion is murder, how come you eat animals?

    Its okay to kill and eat animals because animals aren't persons. Its not okay to kill (and eat) your son or daughter because your son or daughter is a person and their person hood is inherent in their being human. Its not the same, For animals its merely 'inhumane' or 'cruelty'. For humans its...

    Abortion

    why is it incorrect? How are your biological offspring not your child? Even now, being 23, I am the biological offspring of my mother, I am her child. All children have an equal right to an appropriate environment that aids them into the next level of maturity-in this case the environment that...

    Biological offspring in need is not a stranger in need. The first, parents have an obligation too, the second, they do not.

    I mean, for me, I believe that the unborn-all the unborn of pregnant women-are offspring and the pregnant women is the biological parent of the unborn. For me that means that all parents have an obligation to that being's welfare not matter how hard or inconvenient it is to them, more than any...

    Abortion

    The law can only address what is, not what might be in the future. As you have said before, inherent rights are not granted to us by the government. You are saying that the government recognises that a women has inherent rights towards liberty but then when it comes to her biological daughters...
