http://www.statesmanjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071118/OPINION/71116055 Under the First Amendment, however, government doesnt have the right to determine which version of the Gospel (or any other scripture) is authentic and which is bogus. Grassley sent the wrong message when he told The New York Times: Jesus comes into the city on a simple mule, and you got people today expanding his gospel in corporate jets. Somebody ought to raise questions about is it right or wrong. Well, if the question is What would Jesus do? the somebody providing the answers should be Christians themselves, not a Senate committee. Taking sides in theological disputes isnt the business of government.

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.
