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.

Study your hermenutics. That was Psalm of lament. In other words, it was the Psamlist voicing his anger towards God. Not God's divine commandment. In other words, the Psalmist was telling God this is what he would like to see. Not what God actually desired.

Very well. I understand your point, and I think we are in agreement. Now if @MotoToTheMax can see it,that would be great. I understand that his rhetoric is not a reflection of yours.

Yeah, let Trump get caught on a hot mic about "jokingly" calling for the murder of anybody and you would be singing a different tune. Again, I am not surprised that a liberal such a yourself finds it funny to joke about killing the children of your political opponents.

I'm not sure about children, but do attacks on spouses count?

Donald Trump Jr. Mocks Paul Pelosi With 'Despicable' Halloween Post
The ex-president's son continued to pile on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband after he was seriously hurt in a hammer attack in their home.
Okay? So let's not pretend it's only the left who can make crass, stupid jokes. I mean sure, you can be fine with it when your guys do it, and clutch your pearls when the other guys do it, but the fact remains: it's all free speech. Telling a bad or tasteless joke doesn't automatically disqualify anyone from any job. Whether or not the voters see it that way, though, is up to them.

What is your point? Are you suggesting that Moto is going to dismiss these comments as jokes? Oor that you think Moto is wrong for dismissing Jones comments as jokes? Or you just playing whataboutism?

I thought I made my point pretty clear: both sides occasionally make crass, tasteless jokes, and most of us excuse it when it's our guy, but decry it when it's the other guy. But in the end, it's all free speech.
Personally, I'm not passing judgment on anyone.

Guess who didn’t say it was a joke?
The guy who texted it
So much for that defense.

I hesitate to disqualify somebody because of one bad statement, but in this case he really should have known better.
Having said that, I've voted for people who I felt were unqualified, when considering that their opponent was so much worse.
