  • 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.

Maybe you should bring this up in the open forum for the atheist perspective.

The Christian pespective as I understand it: 1) God created by the power of His word (otherwise absolute Truth becomes relative Truth 2) there is life after death.

social resposibility 1) love our neighbors as Christ has loved us, be good stewards of what God has given us.

There are statistics out on charitable giving--you'd probably have to wade through a lot--but Christians represent a high proportion, at least in the US.

One of the afterlife differences:

Christians believe that we don't get to heaven on our own deserving, but through faith in God's promise to get us there and absolve us. That's unique to other religions' view of heaven/afterlife.
