  • 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.

"Baby Jesus" (as a black American)

I have read some advice given to me and it is such sage advice that needed to be shared. It is about focusing on Jesus and the rest will take care of itself. Maybe I have been too hung up on the paganism and the commercialism of Christmas. Is the religious aspect of Christmas ring hollow for me? I would like to think that it is not the case. I guess that this concern would or would not rather have the evidence that I prefer to religious "O Holy Night" than "Jingle Bell Rock". Sure they are both wholesome songs, but "O Holy Night" carries a much a deeper meaning for me. "Jingle Bell Rock" is a fun song, but that is just that: a fun song to sing and party to without a care in the world. I guess it is this religious aspect that would have a much deeper meaning and should to us all.
