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.

My son, keep my words and store up my commands within you.
Keep my commands and you will live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
Bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.
Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," and call understanding your kinsman;

"I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence; I possess knowledge and discretion.
To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.
Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have understanding and power.

Ps 23:17-18
Do not let your heart envy sinners,
but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord.
There is surely a future hope for you,
and your hope will not be cut off

Work in progress ... Phil. 1:6
~ Proverbs 14:2 ~
He whose walk is upright fears the LORD, but he whose ways are devious despises him.
As we walk according to God's will, His light shines in and through us; there is nothing to fear or hide. But as the Word says, 'Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.'
I love how scripture can be more clearly explained with even more scripture.
Praise Him for His wisdom and love toward us.

Proverbs 27:1
Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
Well, that's pretty straightfoward. Anything I'd add would just muddle it up.

"Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult; whoever rebukes a wicked man incurs abuse.
Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you; rebuke a wise man and he will love you.
Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning.
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
For through me your days will be many, and years will be added to your life.
If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer."

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.
A good man obtains favor from the LORD, but the LORD condemns a crafty man.

~ Proverbs 28:13 ~
He who conceals his sins does not prosper,
but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
Praise God for his unending love and kindness. He continually offers repentant hearts forgiveness - "A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out."

I agree. And showing others God's forgiveness would be another sign. I know this is about the Book of Proverbs but I did find these cross reference. Your words made me think of these verses.

Proverbs 4:20-23,
'My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body. Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.'
