  • 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.

'Grown Ups' actor, podcaster warns of rising 'anti-Christian feel' in US

Comedian and podcaster David Spade says he’s getting tired of the rising “anti–Christian feel” over Christmas.

The 61-year-old SNL alum and “Grown Ups” actor called out a local mall for "consciously" omitting any mention of Christianity during a recent Christmas tree-lighting ceremony.

“I will say that Christmas is taking a little bit of a beating lately,” said Spade in theDec. 7 episode of the "Fly on the Wall" podcast with fellow former SNL alum, Dana Carvey. “... I saw the other day, there was a tree-lighting ceremony for the Christmas tree in some dopey mall, but it said tree-lighting ceremony, and they were careful not to say the word ‘Christmas' during the whole ceremony.”

During the podcast, both Spade and Carvey acknowledged that even non-Christians have traditionally enjoyed Christmas tree-lighting ceremonies, “I’ve never met someone from another religious faith that was upset about a Christmas tree,” added Carvey.
