  • 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.

What was incoherent about my 3 complete sentences and my 1 sentence ending in an ellipsis for effect?
Actually that was my fault. Early in the morning. Before caffeine.

Generally when I see people use the term secular it means without religion. No presence on its part.

The relevant (to the US) definition of secular from Google: denoting attitudes, activities, or other things that have no religious or spiritual basis.

Meaning that the US is a country where there is no singular religious ideology and no preference for any given religion given by the government.

Congrats on perpetuating their sin of slander.

“specializes in supporting the recriminalization of homosexuality abroad, ending same-sex marriage and generally making life as difficult as possible for LGBT communities in the U.S. and internationally.”

That is an outright lie.

The SPLC lies. That is what they do. That, however, is not the issue. The real scandal, is how the mainstream media, such as in this case ABC News, uncritically repeats everything they say, a form of cut and paste journalism that otherwise would never be considered worthy of the name.
