• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Rather Have Intolerance?

Ah, but is it tolerant or intolerant to try to keep religious conservatives off the airwaves (so their point of view isn't heard)? Many media outlets have been accused of just that, as they have their own agenda. So, if it is true that some media outlets are actively trying to keep people from hearing religious conservatives views, would that be tolerating the other point of view?

You mean like Pat Robertson? I think he's on the air. And where I am we have CTS (Or Christian Television), which is all religious programming, conservative and otherwise.

The trick is, most media outlets are designed to make money. If the religious conservatives aren't going to draw an audience, they're not going to get on the air.

That being said, do you have an example of such a media outlet actively trying to keep people from hearing religious conservative views?

By the way, I can't help notice that this sounds like the exact opposite of FOX News.

Now that's true.
