• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

You're free to talk about whatever you want. I'm simply pointing out that a good many people now seemingly concerned with the Christian virtues of mercy and grace only seem to care about those things when it suits their purposes.
And a good many people don't seem to care about them at all, and get their knickers in a twist when they are reminded of them.

And the Bishop was really speaking to them, through Trump. The reaction to her remarks was telling, even in this forum, and in the wider world. She was right on target, it's time to hit harder.

You do it every hour
Oh, baby, you're so vicious…

Yes. But I doubt Trump CHOSE to organize the prayer service, where it was located, who would speak etc

The one who organized it should have thought more clearly...since the Episcopal Church isn't known to be conservative, nowadays.
The inaugural committee puts those things together and they work for Trump. I'm sure the Episcopal Cathedral in Washington was glad to host when asked (as they have done many times before), but the inaugural committee had options and choices and they *knew* what the exact same bishop had said about Trump and his "bible stunt" at that Episcopal church near the White House in the summer of 2020. It's almost like Trump *wanted* your outrage at whatever criticism the bishop might make.

Budde is an Episcopal bishop - she invokes Christianity all day, every day.

I'm not talking about her. I'm talking about the opportunists who suddenly seem to care deeply about the Christian virtues of grace and mercy. But only as it pertains to certain policies, naturally.

The decision of the staff is to closed this thread.
The flaming has been strong in American Politics this last week.
