• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Some of the truth, yes. I'm not privy to all the facts. The truth is that the only evidence presented is that a cigarette butt was found. Hardly earth shattering


Apparently you don't know the truth since that was not the only evidence presented.

*Sigh*

As has been stated a zillion times, there were the coerced confessions that in of themselves were not factually correct. You seem hung up on the confessions, when the confessions themselves weren't correct!

Thank goodness we don't have you deciding these things. Thankfully justice prevailed in this case.
No evidence of such has been forthcoming

because I want to be darn sure the person being executed is actually guilty of what they were convicted of.

How sure is "darn sure"?


I believe that since 100% certainty is never a possibility because humans are flawed, the death penalty is ethically unjustifiable because inevitably it will lead to innocent life being taken at the hands of the state.
