  • 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.

    Should religious belief inform public policy?

    *This is inherently a political issue and I think belongs in the Politics section of the forum. Ever since Thomas Jefferson’s famous letter to the Danbury Baptists, Americas have used the term, a "wall of separation between church and state.” This phrase is sometimes used in support of...

    The power of words...

    I happened across this quote from Isaac Asimov - “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your...

    Warren staff member explains why they will lose (contains cursing)

    Preamble for mods and everyone: Alright, I did make sure to read over the new policy on cursing/swearing before deciding to try posting this, and I think it doesn't violate that (as all the swearing is embedded in the remarks the young man makes, which are effectively the substance of the video...

    Why I changed my political party

    Hello everyone, I used to be a Republican but, then after the seeing the volatileness of the Trump administration and watching as the families are being torn apart by different old laws that were passed or being enforced that need to be updated to modern standards. I really decided to start...

    From 1619 to 2019: 400 years of racial progress?

    Another Thanksgiving has come and gone and after having visited Williamsburg, VA this past week, looking upon small masses of my fellow Americans who were, like me, out and about with family, I thought about how far our supposed 'Christianized' and even 'Enlightened' nation has come in its own...

    Should public officials be forgiven for past misdeeds?

    Should the past misdeeds of elected officials, or those running for office, be forgiven? I realize this is a very general question and that it does depend on the "misdeed" in question. But, there seems to be a growing lack of mercy when it comes to past failures, at least in US politics. I am...

    Do we vote, and for whom?

    We were told thousands of years ago where the world would end up - in the hands of the antichrist. Each successive world leader is but a stepping stone towards that end. Seeing as there is no way to vote ourselves off this path (since the path has been set according to the Word of God), does it...

    How not to be stupid about politics

    Everyone could understand politics if everyone - especially the 'Think Tanks' - would stop lying. For example Neoliberalism was sold to the public on the basis that it would reduce prices. That it would do so by moving production out of the country and we would therefore be sending a lot of...

    Christians in a Democratic Society Obligated to be Involved in Politics?

    At first, I thought to post this in a politics forum, but then it occurred to me that even though the word "politics" is in the title the post under that topic would probably be inappropriate due to the likelihood that this question is posed for those who would not be on a politically...
