  • 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.

Chats in CF ought to be truthful; rather than telling a SDA or a Catholic what you allege they believe and teach how about asking them? Rather than telling Calvinists what they teach ask them what they teach. It will work better. At least it ought to work better, but some are willing to lie or want to stir dissent rather than have a fruitful conversation. And be careful about treating chats as if they were formal debates, they aren't.

Actually, I'd be happy if Western Christians would remember that the Eastern Orthodox church exists. And if a Catholic would reference the EO prior to the schism as part of a unified church, I think I'd fall over in shock.
