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.

Today is unique! It has never occure befor, and it will never be again.
At midnight it will end--quietly, suddenly, totally forever. But the hour between now and then are opportunities with endless possibilities. With God's enablement, live this day to the full as if it were your last day on earth.

I was searching for a different quote by Mother Theresa (loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted are the most terrible poverty) just for verification that I had the quote correct and found this one also :
When Christ said: "I was hungry and you fed me," he didn't mean only the hunger for bread and for food; he also meant the hunger to be loved. Jesus himself experienced this loneliness. He came amongst his own and his own received him not, and it hurt him then and it has kept on hurting him. The same hunger, the same loneliness, the same having no one to be accepted by and to be loved and wanted by. Every human being in that case resembles Christ in his loneliness; and that is the hardest part, that's real hunger.

Does the pursuit of truth give you as much pleasure as before?
Surely it is not the knowing but the learning, not the possessing but the acquiring, not the being there but the getting there, that afford the greatest satisfaction.
If I have clarified and exhausted something, I leave it in order to go again into the dark. Thus is that insatiable man so strange: when he has completed a structure it is not in order to dwell in it comfortably, but to start another.

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the
long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

Let's see if i've gotten this right:
Lord, grant me the strength to change the things i can,
The serenity to accept the things i cannot
And the wisdom to know the difference
(my physics teacher wrote it on our board. my physics teacher.)

Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't
If I want your opinion, I'll read it in your entrails.
We don't bleed in your pool, so please don't swim in our blood.
I like Christians. But then, I was a lion in a past life.

Turn Around
Humanity must turn around. What good are all
its religious practices, what good are all its
church services, what point is there in all its
devout singing if God's will is not done and
hands remain steeped in blood? What does
people's faith mean if injustice is done to the
poor as casually as one drinks a glass of
water? What good is it to profess the divine if
not even a little finger is lifted when countless
children and poor people die?
-Eberhard Arnold

"Wandering in a vast forest at night,
I have only a faint light to guide me.
A stranger appears and says to me:
'My friend, you should blow out your candle
in order to find your way home more clearly.'
This stranger is a theologian."
-Denis Diderot
"The world holds two classes of men -- intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence."
[Abu'l-Ala-Al-Ma'arri (973-1057; Syrian poet)]
And my own quote..heh:
"God Less the nation on this ordinary day,
tomorrow is our liberty from this capitalist decay."

It's not the ones who ask all the questions,
but the ones who have all the answers,
who are the ones to watch out for.
