  • 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.

t got me thinking about the textual signifiance of temptation in the Garden being portayed as a snake. The idea that the consequence of knowledge takes us from the paradisial garden of naked innocense to the fallen state of knowing good from evil and this being the basis of our flawed nature has always been a metanarrative I've enjoyed. The signifance that snakes had in the ancient near east never occurred to be until now and I was wondering what implications do you guys take from it?
