  • 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.

In talking about the depiction of Jesus, I find it funny that in all pictures he looks like a hippie. Now dont take offense to that statement let me finish. In reality Jesus, more than likely, was NOT white, being in the where he was skin tone is very vital to life. The darker the skin the more water can be retained. The reason he looks like a "hippie" is because the 1st drawings of Christ were during the Renasances,sp?, and that was just how they used to depict people then.

My tangent is over now, sorry for the rant, I was just reading and had to say something.

Icons are much, much earlier than the Renassance (I can't spell it either :D ). Check this one one out:
