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.
ITS NOT JUST ME ?

Think of it this way
26“So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 27What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. 28Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.b 30And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."

I used to have an image of how Christians are: happy, secure, confident, cheerful, friendly, kind, generous, forgiving. They surely would never be worried, anxious, afraid, doubtful, judging, mean, rude, impatient, unkind, addicted, cruel.
Turns out Christians are all kinds of things, ever changing, not static, growing, learning, failing, repenting, trying, messing up, getting up again.
The perfect Christian doesn't exist. Christians who try and make you believe that they never suffer, never sin, never fear, never worry are either lying to you or to themselves (or both).
