  • 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.

Biden proclaimed the first instance of "Transgender Visibility Day" to occur onEaster Day.

Of course I'm a mortal man who is fallible, so was Moses and the prophets and the apostles and all disciples of Christ whom God told to proclaim His will and commandments.
Was everyone who claimed to be a prophet correctly interpreting the will of God in your opinion? To be clear the bottom line I'm trying to point out here is why I find the idea of imposing your religious ideals on others as problematic. I think that you should be free to believe and espouse your views on what God wants. I think the line should be drawn on enforcing that on others.

I wonder if the same would be said about those who need surgery because of the issues surrounding National Smile Day (celebrated May 31st). You know, surgeries like dental care and cleft palate repair. Maybe those also mock god by having people pretend to be something they aren't, or perhaps instead there's something specific being sold to rile up people only about the day mentioned in the OP. Would be interesting to figure out why there's not the same level of manufactured outrage about both.
Not the same at all. Nice try though

Everyone who agrees agrees, everyone who doesn't is brainwashed.
People have a right to their views. I don’t have to accept it.

Yes, there is. I have seen the Hubris of those who would hurt others in the name of their understanding of a god. Yours is no different from those who burned heretics at the stake. Their understanding is imperfect and so is yours.
Personal attacks are invalid. Nice try

Whether you agree with it or not is something I'm not interested in. But I'd like you acknowledge that it is the definition. And acknowledge that discussing gender when you disagree with basic definition of the very word is a complete waste of your time.
Ok. I’ll move on. Take care
