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.
A Bright and Joyful Easter

In light of a recent poll on the Resurrection, http://www.christianpost.com/article/education/1152/section/poll.most.americans.reject.resurrection.of.the.body/1.htmMcWilliams said:
I thought I'd post a few quotes taken from our church's Sunday bulletin:
Quotes for Reflection
I find that Holy Week is draining; no matter how many times I have lived through his crucifixion, my anxiety about his resurrection is undiminishedI am terrified that, this year, it wont happen; that, that year, it didnt. Anyone can be sentimental about the Nativity; any fool can feel like a Christian at Christmas. But Easter is the main event; if you dont believe in the resurrection, youre not a believer.
- John Irving, A Prayer for Owen Meany
Make no mistake: if He rose at all
it was as His body;
if the cells' dissolution did not reverse, the molecules
reknit, the amino acids rekindle,
the Church will fall.
- John Updike, from Seven Stanzas at Easter
