  • 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.

I've been working in the space of Christianity and the arts since the 1980s. You can find artistic theory I've written under the term "virtuism."

Let me give you a true history of what happens to the best Christian "art," in this case, music.

I'm a fan of prog, classical and various more arty types of rock. I think some of the best Christian music was the most obscure. If you type "Xian Psych" in Youtube or eBay you will see Christian rock was very active in the 1960 and 70s. There is a great playlist on my magmasunburst account which should come up early. Sometimes up to $1000 is paid by even non-Christians for Christian artists that just put out one lp on private press labels.
