  • 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.

why is it immoral to genetically alter anything? if we can find a way to produce a crop that can potentially feed thousands of people by genetically altering it enough to withstand drought or infestation, how is that wrong?

take it a step further and go to cloning. what is wrong with cloning animals for food? what about cloning body parts of humans so that we can save the lives of people in need of a new heart? what about the entire person? what is immoral about cloning an entire human being so that parents which can not conceive may have children?
