  • 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.

Christmas

If one believes that we are but an accident and that in fact we are alone and with no purpose, can suicide be far behind?

Not sure about the "accident" and "no purpose" parts but I do know that their is a spike in suicides around the holidays that is specific to people feeling depressed becuase of feeling alone.

No one is twisting your arm. Christmas has become secularized, it certainly was not my goal.

This has always struck me as an issue when a religous holdiay is observed by the secular government. It seems that a by product is that it will become more secularized as time progresses since those that are not religous have the time off as well.
