  • 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.

Possibly.

But all the 'experts' said purchasing Twitter would be a loosing proposition for him also. When he trimmed his staff by north of 80% they said he has doomed the company to going out of business - when Disney threatened to leave - that was going to be the end of it also.

I guess in the end I'd let him make his own decisions - he seems to be a pretty successful business entrepreneur so far.

Indeed eggs and bacon test good for breakfast.

But a wealthy individual, who claim to be “ cultural Christin” Jesus says, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."

Musk may be exceptionally brilliant and wealthy guy, but unless he accept Jesus Christ as his savior, he will end up in eternal hell.

As will Jeff Bezo's, Bill Gates, George Soros, and other other multimillionaires and billionaires who pour funds into elections for both sides.

What does that have to do with Elon Musk purchasing MSNBC

That Sword swings both ways.

I agree with you 100%. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezo's, Bill Gates, George Soros, and other multimillionaires and billionaires and regular every day joe or jane, they all will end up in hell if they reject Jesus Christ.

Regarding MSNBC, its presence does not impact me as I do not watch any cable news. Whether Musk buys MSNBC and shuts it down should not affect anyone significantly. Cable channels in the USA, such as CNN, MSNBC, and FOX News, are political talk shows rather than news agencies.

I have watched Rachel Maddow and felt that if she believes I need her to interpret current events, it implies that I am unable to think for myself. The same applies to Hannity or any other news anchor these days. If Musk buy MSNBC , most likely he will use the channel to tell me how I should think. No difference.

You know, I don't look at "X" at all. I don't want to have to wade through piles of cyber-garbage to get to the content I am interested in, especially when they are planted by hackers in enemy countries.

:rolleyes:

I have heard that blue sky is the thinking person's alternative to "X" and I might look into that.

Bluesky is hardly a place where "thinking" people are welcome, that is, unless their "thinking" agrees wholeheartedly with the sanctioned narratives. However if you're fully committed to the propaganda and you're looking for an echo chamber, Bluesky is definitely your place!

Every social media platform acts as an echo chamber. Truth Social and X cater to conservatives, while BlueSky and others serve liberals. Today, most Americans prefer to stay within their own bubbles.

To the contrary, X may be one of the most balanced social media platforms today.

This was reported recently on CNN.

Clearly there has been a shift to the right at X, but that resulted in a much more balanced platform, since X used to be a very left-leaning platform.

Likewise, X users say they are about equally as likely to see left-leaning content as they are to see right-leaning content.

Maddow needs to repent of living a lesbian lifestyle. Yes, it needs to be said. We must righteously point out sin as Christians.
Amen, and she has the audacity to call herself a practicing Catholic

SMH

Would God be proud of her?

No, He isn’t proud of that behavior at all. He is calling her back to repentance but she clearly is ignoring those calls. God desires none to perish, but many people continue to willfully disobey Him.

They choose to live in sin. If they perish, it’s their own fault.
