• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

So a pizza restaurant can tell anyone to leave for whatever reason, a baker can refuse to bake a cake when asked to, and a lunch counter can refuse service to patrons of a certain color?

Well, points for consistency, I guess.


And also to you.

-- A2SG, faith and begorrah, might I have a job application, please?
No. No. No. No. No.

This is NOT about someone's color or race.

Point blank period.

End of discussion.

This specific case may not have been, but other very similar ones have been. I was drawing comparisons.

That's the thing about consequences...sometimes, they're unintended.

-- A2SG, there are many different kinds of discrimination, after all....

No. the point is comparing someone's color to someone's political views or choice of partner isn't the same.

I didn't compare skin color to political views or choice of partner. I compared discrimination based on skin color to discrimination based on political views, along with discrimination based on the discriminator's religious preferences regarding someone else's choice of partner.

Granted, per SCOTUS, all are perfectly legal and constitutional now, so there's nothing to worry about. People are free to discriminate however they wish.

-- A2SG, just be careful when discriminating against MAGA....their feelings might get hurt......
