  • 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 was watching as person after person said what was happening in Los Angeles was a apocalyptic event. It was not just a few houses or a couple of acres, but whole sections of the city were being destroyed and no way to stop it, the electricity was out, the water pressure was gone, and the helicopters and planes could not get in the air to put the flames out. People fleeing and finding the roads blocked, and nowhere to run. Looks like we are seeing signs of what will happen at the end, as the cup of iniquity overflows. They will try to deny what is happening and say it's just climate change or a result of gas cars and pollution, but it's more than that, much like what happened at Sodom...

Were the old Chicago fires truly "Apocalypse"? If not, why these? Is the Apocalypse 'a little here, a little there', or a worldwide phenomenon? The sensational nature of these reports/theses is telling, I think. It is not maturity that runs after whatever is controversial, loud and flashy.

Sensationalism makes money, and though the truth can be sensational, sensationalism is never the truth.

Those fires in Chicago were a few days but here was one of weeks and they could not quench them, only the rain was finally able to shut them down.
