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.

Trust the LORD and not on your own understanding
Not that my opinion means much...
I'm glad that WELS\ELS doesn't have to deal with this issue. This is sounds like two teenagers (boyfriend\girlfriend) asking their pastor ... "How far is too far ?".
There's a simple answer ... just don't go there. Meaning: it's better to don't go down the path that would make it easier for Satan to blur things than to do something just because you can.
1 Corinthians 10:23
[ The Believer’s Freedom ] “Everything is permissible”—but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible”—but not everything is constructive."
No offense to the smart people, but sometimes intelligence complicates things when it's not necessary. Just how constructive is this for a church body to deal with a situation (that is easily avoidable) that creates more questions and doubts than Jesus' greater desire ... complete unity among believers.
