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.

Legend
Here are a few quotes from the God character in the show Joan of Arcadia.
“Look, you won’t always know why I ask you to do things. You won’t always see the effects.” – God
“Better is how it works with Me. An infinite good in an infinite universe. Trust in Me, Joan. That's all I ask.” – God
“It's called a crisis of faith. It's alright. It's not really faith if there's no crisis. Faith is an act of will, not a feeling.” – God
“If you make snap judgments about people, and are unwilling to look into their past, you'll never begin to understand them.” – God
“Thoughts are things, Joan. And I don't punish people, you punish yourselves. Hmm. You're so good at it, I can almost retire.” – God

~Beloved Pure Warrior~
Elinor made no answer. Her thoughts were silently fixed on the irreparable injury which too early an independence and its consequent habits of idleness, dissipation, and luxury, had made in the mind, the character, the happiness, of a man who, to every advantage of person and talents, united a disposition naturally open and honest, and a feeling, affectionate temper.
The world had made him extravagant and vain. Extravagance and vanity had made him cold-hearted and selfish. Vanity, while seeking its own guilty triumph at the expense of another, had involved him in a real attachment which extravagance, or at least its offspring, necessity, had required to be sacrificed. Each faulty propensity, in leading him to evil, had led him likewise to punishment.
