  • 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.

The best article I've read in a long time.

There's nothing we can do to turn this whole thing around, of course; Western Civilization is going to self-destruct, completely implode, and evaporate from relevance in the world, and all that any of us who see it coming can do is to order our own lives rightly and stay as uncorrupted as possible.

It is so easy to get distracted, and bogged down in things that are not important.
Thanks for posting this reminder, about what is really going on ...
helps to bring back the proper focus.
