  • 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.

Humans just don't think about the effects of their desires on other people, and creating laws to address this lack of thought are simply bound to failure.

Not disagreeing. At all.
But.
To those whom the post is aimed can use this logic to assert that “godless heathen are imposing their hedonistic lifestyle onto the culture...the righteous must fight for what is right!”
(And since many think that they have a book that tells them “what is right”, they think themselves duty-bound to do “make it happen”; totally disregarding their own Deity already tried the “by the book” method to rein in this “free will” stuff!
Maybe God just needed Christians like our present ones to usher in His time?
Who knows?)
