  • 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.

During a reading program in America, one of my friends was working with a child who had high aspirations. He said, "I want to be the first person to land on the moon!"

Supportive, he replied, "Well, that is a great goal, but, it has already been done." This was followed by a long silence.

Suddenly, "I know! I'll be the first person to land on the sun!"

Still supportive, he said, "That is a very good goal, but you'd burn up before you got there." This began a moment of quietness.

Slyly he replied, "Aha! I have thought of something no one else has. I will be the first person to land on the sun!"

Curious, he asked, "How?"

With zeal, he responded, "I will go at night!"

Enjoy ^_^
