  • 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.

A Virginia public school district has agreed to pay $575,000 to resolve a lawsuit brought by a Christian teacher who was fired for refusing to use the self-declared pronouns of a trans-identified student.

The West Point School Board reached a settlement with Peter Vlaming on Monday, in which the school district leadership agreed to pay $575,000 in damages and attorneys’ fees. Additionally, the school board agreed to remove the firing from Vlaming’s record.

Vlaming was represented by Alliance Defending Freedom, a legal nonprofit that has won religious liberty cases at the United States Supreme Court.

It's about time. Religious protections need to be upheld.
Unfortunately, many people don't like Christians because we do not conform to their secular worldview.

It's time we rise up and speak out against their secularism and atheism.

God bless
