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.

The term ex-President just means one who's term is over, and is no longer in office. Do you really think that an ex-President is not supposed to do charitable, humanitarian, and altruistic work?

I do recall criticism of Carter being way too hands on and mired in details, reluctant to delegate. But I dont see how these traits are particular Christian. Its not helping me grasp the initial claim that Christian values and success with worldly power are incompatible.

He was also somewhat scolding of American narcissism and gluttony, which many did not want to hear - and still dont, preferring models of greed and self indulgence.

Loving all as self is about the gesture. Just like when casting seeds, we have no control how that gesture will be used or if the seeds will grow.

What in the world has this conversation devolved to?
Its like a lot of coded language about the man being "evil".

Yes there was. In any event, even if you're just the local school PTA president, it's undignified. It's a bad look to criticize your successor. But it's even more important for a POTUS.

Iranians who were fed-up with living under the Shah of Iran...a leader whom the US had supported. Are you famliar with the history of US involvement in Iran's internal politics?
What do you think Carter should have done? Send in the American military to put down the revolution?
[As for Oct 7th, Carter had nothing to do with it.....responsibility for the worst breakdown in Israeli intelligence and security lies with the Israeli Primer Minister, who is still in power]
