  • 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 strongly support religious freedom when, and only when, the religious freedom of one group doesn't attack the religious freedom of another group.

As a Christian, 99% of what I see conservatives calling "religious freedom" is actually attacking the freedom of others whose behavior they disapprove of---based not on universal ethical principles but their own narrowly drawn theological rules.

I don't agree with the commission it limits free speech and is discriminatory. The Hitler in him is coming out.
