  • 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.

Luke 12:
48 From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.
My mother was born in China. Never attended a day of school. Didn't know how to read. She used to ask us kids to dial the telephone for her to talk to her friends because she couldn't recognize the numbers. She hated my father for abandoning the family temporarily for a few years while living in Hong Kong. On her dying days, she never forgave him for that. She did not know Jesus.

I, on the other hand, have a PhD degree in AI. I know Jesus. I can read the Bible. Further, I can analyze the underlying Greek and Hebrew grammar. I forgave my father. I know better.

An atheist may arrogantly ridicule you impatiently when you argue with him. Should you respond in kind?

I don't think so. God demands more from you. You have God dwelling in you; he does not. From the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. You should know better.
