  • 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.

Said recently where?
The very last page of the thread on the US state department recommendations. You'll be pleased to know it's only 3 posts away from 3,500 now. Maybe you could condemn such language and get it a little closer to that figure.

You're the one who should be pleased since yours was the post #3497 you're talking about. Never have I seen someone make hundreds of posts to a thread while complaining and scoffing at how long it is. I can't imagine why you don't see how ridiculous that is. It's self righteous hypocrisy at it's finest.

Well let's see here. It's a total perversion of God's plan for mankind, so I'm not sure how the word is being used inappropriately.

Calling them perverts is the most recent method.
I think the double-pronged thrust of "women sports" and "protect the children!" has been working out quite well so far.

You've avoided it. And you just avoided using it again. But in my experience, one person takes it past a point that's in any way acceptable and others think 'Hey, maybe I can as well'. So I see you dipping a toe in the water now. Maybe you can just suggest it or question why it's not appropriate.

Par for the course.

Maybe you should realize I'm not about to take morality cues from worldly atheists. You support that which God calls an abomination. Of course it's perverted. It exists through sheer rebellion against Godliness.

As I said, it gives people a little bit more freedom, doesn't it. Easier for someone to else to push the limit. It's then becomes the forum equivalent of 'But he started it!'

We'll expect more of the same.

Shame only works on things that are under the person’s control, even then it is largely ineffectual.
There is no shame. Getting treatment for a mental disorder isn’t shameful.

There is no treatment that stops people from suffering from gender dysphoria. Conversion therapy for GD has been attempted numerous times and only ever hurt the patients instead of helping them.

Rebeling against the commandments of God gives people all kinds of freedom to do godless wrong things and make bad decisions. And here on a Christian forum Christians are free to proclaim the commandments of God and call things that God calls unclean, an abomination and perversion as such. And if it offends the godless that's a good thing actually.

Forum rules prohibit people from endorsing certain things like homosexuality. Personally, I would find it a bit unchallenging to "denounce" stuff when nobody can argue against you, but if this entertains you, go for it.

Maybe someone needs to point out to you that it's not what you proclaim. It's how you proclaim it.

I really don't care what people believe or how they determine morality. I really don't care how they think the world should operate or what they believe God wants. What I care about is how they treat others. How they refer to others. What terms they use when talking about people I love. I care about the casual insults and the constant denigration of good people by some who think they have a moral superiority over others.

Oddly enough folks have somehow argue against me throughly and effectively regarding LGBTQXYZ2X4+ issues. Namely the transsexual craze.

Sorry but God and godly truth comes first. You'll either be convicted by it or you'll object to it.

It’s a mental disorder and delusion. Telling people they truly are the opposite sex is harmful and a lie.

I don't know if it's a lie, but it's been shown to be less harmful than any alternatives.

It’s a lie. A biological male is a man and a biological female is a woman. I do not accept the trans cult.

From what I read it's not considered a mental disorder or a phycological disorder, but rather "a spectrum of feelings".
