  • 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.

All states kill its part of their nature. The USA has killed millions for instance. I have killed no one.
All states kill for the crime of “blasphemy”?
In the United States, we say “no”.
(oh we’ll kill plenty-o-people, for important things like making sure that they “just leave us alone”, or “having stuff that we want”…but not for offending this or that god.)

By that logic you could abolish private property as well. What are walls and titles but seperation between us and all those other good people.
They tell me that quantum-mechanics doesn’t work in a macro world way for quite the same reason, you cannot take an argument to the extreme limits of what the argument might entail and refute the argument for being absurd.

Veterans Urge President to Rethink Immigration Order Amid Fears for Afghan Allies: Fox News

A coalition of veterans’ groups is calling on President Donald Trump to reconsider his latest executive order on immigration, warning that it could jeopardize Afghan interpreters and their families who risked their lives to support US military efforts.

In a letter sent Thursday and obtained by Fox News, the organizations urged Trump to re-evaluate the Realigning the United States Refugee Program executive order, which takes effect Monday and suspends the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP).
