  • 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.

A University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) philosophy lecturer who was seen in a viral video harassing a Christian evangelist says he's been placed on administrative leave.

In a video shared on March 9, Charles Hermes, a UTA undergraduate advisor and senior lecturer of Philosophy, is seen shouting "No justice!" at a street preacher during a pro-abortion rally in Fort Worth. The street preacher is heard asking, "Do you believe in Jesus?" to several bystanders in the video.

At one point, Hermes stands in front of the unidentified preacher and says, "I do, I believe in Jesus," as he presses his head close to the evangelist. As the video zooms in, the preacher, Bible in hand, says to Hermes, "This is not your territory" and continues to preach to the crowd.
