  • 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.

Pray The Holy Spirit encourages more respect & sensitivity between the male and female sexes/genders

In the article associated with the following link, it says that in today's modern secular music, female singers and male singers are harshly insulting each other:

Why female pop stars are lambasting mediocre men

Judging by her lyrics, Sabrina Carpenter (pictured) has mixed feelings towards men. She finds her paramours attractive, exciting—and disappointing. In “Manchild”, the lead single on her new album, she complains her lover is “stupid”, “slow” and “useless”. She asks, mocking a caveman, “Why so sexy if so dumb? / And how survive the Earth so long?”

“Manchild” is not the only track on the record to lambast mediocre men: time and again Ms Carpenter takes aim at blokes who can barely “do the dishes” or “assemble a chair from IKEA”. The American pop star suggests her beaux are dumb, as when, in “Sugar Talking”, she says: “You’re having these epiphanies, big word for a real small mind.” Some do not understand basic grammar. In “Slim Pickins”, a hit from last year, she complains about a man who “doesn’t even know the difference between there, their and they are”.

.......more text....more text.....................

Men are pushing back, at least musically. In August the top album on the Billboard 200 chart was “I’m the Problem” by Morgan Wallen, an American country singer. “If I’m so awful,” he sings, “then why’d you stick around this long?”

It's Not merely fun-loving teasing. When people ( especially young adults, teenagers & kids ) listen to the aforementioned songs, opposite sexes subconsciously learn to mistreat each, and disrespect each other. This is what leads to marriages breaking up.

( Important Side Note: Nowadays, we have to be concerned about people listening to modern music that has lyrics with inappropriate sexually-related lustful words and phrases, but we also have to be concerned about the aforementioned. It's becoming a complex, scary & frightening world ).

There is Nothing wrong with fun-loving teasing between men & women, & even a civil healthy debate about the role of men vs women in society. However, it's bad if it turns into extreme disrespect and/or abuse. Pray The Holy Spirit encourages more respect & sensitivity between the male and female sexes/genders:

Gracious Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus,
Help us as Christians to model intimacy between the sexes and show the world marriage as You designed! Protect us from narrow-mindedly hating one another and help us to be Salt and light in a world of darkness, hatred, and bitterness, that these singers and all might see, this is not the way.
In Christ’s Name,
Amen
