  • 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.

Here is a fine example of idiotic twisting of Christian logic...

"A Republican state lawmaker in Ohio says he won’t wear a mask during the coronavirus pandemic because it covers the face, which is the “likeness of God.”

Nino Vitale, who serves in the state’s House of Representatives, says he’s not planning to follow guidance from Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, who first tried to order that masks be worn as the state reopens, but later softened that to a recommendation.

DeWine said he reversed himself because too many people found an order requiring masks to be "offensive".

This is a classic example of somebody deciding to do something for his own reasons, then thinking of a Bible passage to support what he was going to do anyway. And since what he was going to do anyway didn't really make a lot of sense, he had to twist the Bible all out of shape to make it fit his decision.
