  • 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.

To be honest (thanks for starting the separate thread though), I kind of like the idea of Satan on a necklace (BEAR WITH ME LOL, READ THE REST) if it involves showing the Saint defeating satan in one way or another. HOWEVER, it is completely up to you if you are OK with that or not. I don't think it's wrong either way, PROVIDED that satan is being shown in that kind of context. I would rather not have satan on the necklace, but I think the intention behind it is also important.
I really, really hope this doesn’t come off as being insensitive since you’re a former Muslim.

There’s a Church in Bologna (Italy) that shows artwork of Muhammad in hell.

I thought that was interesting to note!

It bothered me so much I just couldn’t wear it. I almost bought a new one today with no satan on it, but decided on a St. Jude medal instead.
I got my St Jude medal last week and had it blessed as soon as I opened the box it came in.
