  • 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.

    Do We Begin With Understanding Or Not?

    That might be it. Thanks! -Would- it though? Wouldn't it be better to start from as neutral a posistion as possible and let them really decide for themselves? What's more, how would you compare teaching only Christianity to your children as compared to, let's say, a Muslim teaching his...

    Do We Begin With Understanding Or Not?

    (*This post was moved from the Christian Apologetics forum by me, through request of moderator Hentenza.) There is a thing that Christians say, which goes something like, "Even a child understands the truth that is Jesus Christ." which, I think, paraphrases a Bible verse that I can't seem to...
