  • 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.

Vice President JD Vance denounced religious violence as fundamentally opposed to the ideals of Christianity and the United States during a Tuesday press briefing at the White House, a day after a deadly shooting at a San Diego mosque.

"The principle is religious violence is particularly disgusting, especially in the United States of America," Vance said. "As a devout Christian, I would say it's one of the most anti-Christian things and anti-American things that you could do."

“A fundamental principle of all the great faiths is we are all children of God, and because of that, we are endowed by certain rights that are unique to our status as human beings," he continued.

Vance noted that religious liberty and allowing others the right to choose and practice their own faith emerged from the Christian heritage embedded in the American system.
