  • 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.

check it out..we're famous.

That green just clashes with the black. Tsk tsk. You'd think she could co-ordinate her clothes to match the Orthodox. Then again maybe I just think it clashes 'cause that green is ugly! ;)
Maybe that was the only clean outfit she had that morning. ;)

One must be careful with green. Green can look really good in certain ways, and in others clash with everything else. It's a tricky color.

For the money she gets and her position i hope that is not the only outfit she had that morning... I heard at the Greek news last year that when she visited our minister of Foreign affairs (it is a woman) she took mrs.Rice shoping.... I guess she did not buy much....

"Being here at the birthplace of my lord and saviour Jesus Christ has been a very special and moving experience," said the top US diplomat, a devout Christian whose father and grandfather were Presbyterian ministers.

[snip]
Wearing a light green trouser suit, Rice spent about half an hour inside the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, visiting its Greek Orthodox, Armenian and Catholic chapels and the exact spot where Christians believe Christ was born.

:thumbsup:


She prayed and later emerged, saying her visit had been a personal reminder of the power of religion to heal and reconcile those who live in the Holy Land -- where Rice has said it is time for a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
"These great monotheist religions that have inhabited this land together have an opportunity to overcome differences, to put aside grievances, to make the power of religion a power of healing and a power of reconciliation. "What these great holy sites remind us of is that the three great religions indeed share a common vision of peace and a common vision of our humanity. That is what I will ultimately take away from this visit," she said.

I wish I shared her optimism about that. :(

First the CEO of USA inc says we 3 "monotheists" worship the "same" God, then 120 or so clerics from the "religion of peace" say we must talk or ..(else?), now we have a "vision of peace." For what, dhimmitude?
