  • 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.

Hello,

This is a seperation from the Advice please thread. I dont really have much to say, since as I said in the thread I was pretty much finished with the conversation, but the Advice please thread was locked anyway, thus this is to get it unlocked, so our original poster friend can have her thread back.

So, um, discuss the morals of book burning, or something.

:)
 
This is a good as thread as any to make a random comment so I can finally add a signature. Bloody blessings!


Uh, there is only one possible case in which I would really support book burnin':

A) The book was comprised of blatant falsehoods.
B) The ONLY way to free a significant segment of the population from the lies of the book was to burn the book and destroy the concept entirely. (That is, education, demonstration, and refutation somehow all fail.)

Just in case you're thinking this, I wouldn't treat the Bible as such-- false or not, the text doesn't qualify as comprised of blatant falsehoods. At least not the vast majority of it. By blatant falsehoods I mean things that are demonstrably and obviously false, such as "A & ~A," "The earth is made of chunky red pudding," or the all-time favourite "Night elves are a balanced race in WC3." :D
