  • 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.

For the record, I think I might have had a little bit too much tonight. Not enough to interfere with my ability to spell and write grammatically, but perhaps one too many. Just want to keep us honest- those of us who are on the same page. Even though I absolutely believe alcohol is not sinful in-and-of itself, it is certainly open to abuse. Lets always keep that in mind.

Or maybe I'm just tired because I'm up way, way too late. Is interfering with the natural sleep rhythm a sin? Debate your heart out, boys and girls!

Well, it's 4:38 am right here now. And I've disrupted my natural sleep cycle a LOT in the past few months. And it's not a good thing. Not sure if it's a sin.

You write well for someone who's had a little too much and is up too late, btw. I only see a missed contraction in there that I saw.

Ha! Reminds me of someone I debated years ago who spoke of fasting sleep. For days. Upon which deprivation God would bestow a prophetic vision. Not the most reliable source of prophecy, imo ...

I once hallucinated a giant snake running the length of a highway I was driving on when I was very close to dozing off at the wheel, and there was a long, wide, dark, wavy line smeared on the road.

But tonight my reason was good, imo. So hopefully that makes it not a sin.

LOL. If you mean my snake, I will say it made for a VERY tight grip on the wheel! My first thought was NOT to move the wheels and accidentally hit it! My second thought was how ridiculous the thought was that I was seeing a huge snake about a half-mile long and that I'd better pull over and get some rest!
