  • 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 think all these reactions are telling. Banging desks and almost acting the same as students deplatforming a speaking and shouting them down. In a place that is suppose to be civil and allow freedom to express political views and beliefs.

I see similar reactions for the Left side of politics all over the world against anything conservative or Christian. Then I hear of more attacks on conservates and Christians and its like this is going beyond speech now.

It seems a line has been crossed in the last year couple of years. Where it use to be verbal and name calling its becoming acts against opposing beliefs. People are willing to make opponents suffer and even want them to die. This is bad.

IMO I think this will dissproportionally affect Christians and really this is what its all about. It seems no coincident that today its fast becoming Jews and Christians. Reports are showing Christian persecution reaching near genocidal levels in some Muslim nations.

But its growing in the western nations. Attacks on churches and synagogues. The murder of conservatives and Christian pastors. Ultimately this battle is a spiritual one and it seems whether its the extreme Left groups or radical Islam they have a similar aim which is against the Christian God. The truth, Christs truth.
