  • 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.

E.g., I don't understand how any Christians could be pro-abortion.

I believe that aborting a baby is murder. At the same time, my brain is capable of understanding how some Christians are pro-abortion. I listen to their reasoning. I disagree with them but can follow their thinking and be sympathetic sometimes.

If you cannot understand their perspective, perhaps it is due to your narrow-mindedness. Try to put yourself in their shoes and see.
