  • 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.

Did God create any creature with the plan to hate it?

Thank you. Do you think that God is indifferent about anything?

I am pretty sure, contrary to many Linux users, that God is indifferent as to whether you use Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, or even FreeBSD or Microsoft Windows. Likewise what make and model of car you drive, whether you favor Airbus or Boeing, or American, Delta or United Airlines.

The same one that is now herchurch? I thought it was in Alameda?
Nope. 678 Portola Dr, San Francisco. 1882: Ebenezer Lutheran Church was established in San Francisco to serve Swedish immigrants. 1956: The current church building was erected, but membership declined as the Swedish immigrant population aged.

I have a picture somewhere of the 1882 Ebenezer. In the 1906 earthquake, it was nearly destroyed by the Army in an effort to stop the SF fire. The pastor persuaded the military to dynamite all the homes accross the steet and spare that church. One of the reason for the persuasion were the members of the church dosed the church with milk cans of water all night in an effort to save the Swedish immigrant church and it worked.

The scripture that I quoted tells me that God "lovest all things that are, and hatest none of the things which thou hast made"
