  • 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.

I am not a boycotter but clearly Target does not want my business. They get less and less and less. Not yet zero but they are driving me out.

Never really liked Target, so not going there to shop won't be a problem.

And I kind of did like Target, from back in the day when they were Dayton's of the Dayton-Hudson chain. But then Mark Dayton came along, and a whole lot of history here and there to start to sour the pot. Their having a 'Senior LGBTQIA+ Segmentation Strategist & Pride Lead' was kind of inevitable. But then I suppose lots of big companies have those right now, maybe even at the senior VP levels. I don't even want to look to see.

Shortly after Trump got into office, I read the book "The Snapping of the American Mind".
That was back when things were just starting to get openly crazy in America.
The book helped me begin to grasp what was happening.

I do believe there are minds being 'snapped' by all the evil and insane behavior we are seeing all around us.
But as Christians, we have the Holy Spirit to lead, guide, and direct us thru the mine fields of this world ...
to help us to understand and actually find peace living amongst them.

This world is not our home ...

It's really sad that they want to sell this LGBT themed stuff. Sadly, a huge portion of society supports the LGBT rights movement now. We all need to pray for the conversion of all in our society and for a return to traditional moral values.

I think many are just live-and-let-live. Many too scared not to go along. A lot are just confused by it all. And few who have really bought into it.

Yeah, I think you may be right. It's quite possible that the vast majority of people just don't have the courage to stand up for what's right because they fear the repercussions.

Yeah. As a Christian, celibate bi guy, this whole push the gay/trans products on people is sickening. People should not make idols of identities, or change their gender either, when God clearly defined two genders, and a very small percentage of people are born with both parts due to genetic anomalies. Not gonna buy any Christmas stuff from Target, that's for sure. Rather support a small local business instead, or buy chocolate imported from overseas.

Everything before 2017 were much better years, as none of this stuff existed back then. It has only gotten worse during the 2020s, especially in the US. Europe is focusing on much more important stuff, such as keeping college tuition cheap, reducing CO2 emissions, and reducing dependency on Russian natural gas, while the US keeps on pushing rainbow holiday products.

Santa is one of the greatest lies and tricks of the devil since the Garden of Eden. Along with the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy and all things like them. Most people are blind to this fact, and when given the knowledge of this fact they don't accept it because that would mean making hard decisions and losing out on some "fun."

Why are these things one of the greatest lies and tricks of the devil to ever exist? Because he targets the minds of kids with them in many ways. For one, he teaches them greed and materialism. But far greater than that he teaches kids to not believe in God. How you ask? Parents and grandparents and the whole world tells kids that these magical beings are real and kids place their hope in them. One day kids find out that these magical beings who operate invisibly are not real and that their parents, grandparents, and the whole world lied to them. We then say, "But God IS real, trust me." Why would they trust you or believe in God? Satan uses these things to sow doubt in the minds of the young and captures them early.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

St Nicholas has (recently had) his own day. He does not need two days.
