  • 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.

kent hovind...

SoulJah mentioned that he has attempted to contact Hovind to give him an opportunity to respond. I, and others who have followed this charlatan, would like nothing better than if he came here to defend himself. However, I predict that he won't. If he responds to SoulJah's offer at all, I'll bet that it will be in the form of a private email which SoulJah will dutifully relay to the rest of us. Why do I suspect Hovind won't personally come to these boards? Because, as I wrote above, he won't engage in a written debate; he knows that would be the end of any credibility he still has in certain circles. No credibility, no cashflow. It's as simple as that.

Hi Thomas-

He wrote me back and said he is too busy to engage in written responses to every letter he gets, dues to his hectic travel schedule.

He also gave me his phone number and an offer to call, but I haven't done so, perhaps others might want to do that, and then relay the conversation, it permissible by Dr. Hovind.
