  • 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.

Is it bad?

Hi guys... quick question. I like fiction...(Harry Potter, Wizardy that, Magic this) so anyway i also like to write, and i was thinking about write a short story containing fiction as mentioned above. But the preacher would be preaching and suddenly Harry Potter came up, and I was interested. The preacher said how the devil sent harry potter and how it was corrupt -and so on-. Being a decent Christian even though i'd like to write a short story, I wouldnt want the church mad at me, and i definetily wouldnt want anyone to stumble on my account.

what should i do?

uh, we've had so many HP debates on this board..

i think it's hard to understand when a person does not have the creative mind of a fiction writer. Not accusing your pastor, just that it's one side of the coin he's seeing. I don't feel like getting into a debate again, so i've dug out some insightful threads for you:
