  • 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 those of you at college...

Christian
I had a roomate, and she was the best in the world even though we didn't get along well. She was christian. She was the kind of person with whom I could be good friends with if I didn't live with her, but living with her, I ran out of "true friend" conversations, and looking for conversation matter, I'd always end up in challenging arguements with her started by me alone.
Once we were at a store and I wanted to buy branflakes, she wanted cornflakes, I didn't want branflakes to the point of making her pay for them, but she took it anyway like a good christian. That is an example of a minor missunderstanding. But when you have these "christian" missunderstandings every where, it gets frustrating.
How did I cope with it? I never did.
Wow, now you are hearing about bad roomates from the mouth of the bad roomate.
And she was the best because she handled everything as best one could, and when I left, (half depressed) she let me know that that naked side of my character and life that I had let her see, was kept safely at the back of her brain somwhere. Which was nice to know. If she hand been a more kindered spirit type persone, I wouldn't have felt bad about revealing myself.
