  • 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.

The bar is incredibly low when Christians are arguing about whether posts that are clearly devoid of forbearance, kindness, gentleness and self control and instead showing hatred and rage which is directed at someone who has been killed are OK. Regardless of the reasoning, that runs totally counter to the words of scripture.

•he said that Trump posed a threat to American democracy.
•In 2017 he said he believed Trump was “mentally unfit” to serve as president
Well, Donald did claim the election was stolen. And his own vice president said that was not true, plus the Supreme Court with a conservative majority . . . partly chosen by Donald . . . said there was not sufficient evidence of a stolen election. And federal judges threw it out . . . at the end of Donald's four years, then, during which time he could have arranged to have federal judges he considered to be legitimate.

He had four years to get federal judges and to make the elections secure. And yet, he's saying the election was not secure.

I understand that part of being a qualified president is you have connections so you can get the right people into power to work with you. He chose Vice President Pence and did not remove him before the election. And he chose at least two conservative Supreme Court judges, if I remember correctly. So, if he's competent, he's choosing the right people.

However, he seems to have thrown out ones he chose.

The pattern seems to be he gets the right people, and therefore they do not go along with him when he is wrong; and they're "fired". But, also, there are times when the checks and balances keep him from being totally above question and doing whatsoever he pleases.

He said something like, "We are going to fix things" . . . so the liberal stuff can not get going, again. I would say he would be willing to stay in

Plenty of misguided minds celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Trump, misguided as he may be, has not celebrated the deaths of the Reiners which was not a political assassination.
Agreed, but his comment was still inappropriate. He should have removed it and apologized. IMO. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Praying for the repose of the souls of Charlie Kirk, Rob Reiner, and his wife.

May they rest in peace and rise to glory!

God's will be done!

I voted for Trump, even though I have serious issues with some of his comments, including this one. There is much room for improvement.

He should apologize and remove the post.

It was beyond inappropriate.

The deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife was NOT about Mr. Trump. Period.
