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.

QUOTE: "Transforming a culture of fear requires a moral "social contract" where equity, justice and love build community, compassion and solidarity. A way forward is encouraging the passionate energies of the nation's young people to reserve the logic of culture wars toward building alternative democratic possibilities."
But, of course, with absolutely no reference to Christ our Savior, the Bible, or proper understanding of mankind (i.e. that man is a sinner and desperately needs redemption.)

In the long-term perspective, morality in its entirety is impossible without faith in Jesus Christ.
Each succeeding generation will be a little more immoral (In average) than the last.
But maybe there is still time. There was still no real preaching of Christianity in China. Usually, a new nation that converts gave many saints in 2-3 generations.

It's interesting to note that when the Apostles intended to go into Asia to preach the Gospel there, the Holy Spirit did not go with them, so they turned back and went elsewhere. What could this mean, exactly? I don't know, but it's something to wonder about.

"When a culture of fear becomes systemic, people must work to replace it with new moral language and politics of love for the sake of the common good. You cannot claim to love children, families and neighborhoods while supporting or accepting systems that crush, exploit and traumatize them.
"We are in such an intense moment of choice – the courage to create politics worthy of the human spirit, the will to live in safety and community flourishing for all, or see our democracy come to ruin in the moral chaos of culture wars, fear and gun violence."
Our partisan heels are dug in.
There is little ability or desire to see things from the perspective of another.
We can only listen to voices that tell us what we want to hear.
