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.
Should we ever stop asking?

Is it not that God declared the end at the beginning , but mankind is in love with the idea that he can change it , God the greatest iconoclast and yet only mostly religion and the world of politics pretends He is not... life mostly built on lies men call 'concepts', 'principles' ... quite a good 'jpke' if one but sees it, on us all for us all to lauh at our selves one day ?
...so that most folk never even query how they believe all things have causes, except their beliefs ?
... so then, why do so few look at the cause of their beliefs ? Is it not simply fear of the truth known to all hearts, that most cannot bear, what we in fact are ?

Is there any other way to come to know that thought based upon the unverifiable, the conditionals men call 'knowledge' , is for most part far from the absolute of intuitive inspiration about the role of lovingkindness in being one with God ?
Does thought not matter then insofar as mankind can come to understand through thought based on intuition, not tradition, why mankind makes mankind so unhappy when it would be so much better for everyone if we simply loved each other (as we deeply wish to be loved and love can only be given.. so we have a need to give for each others' need, but folks fail mostly, and that determines our sad world) ? ... how else would we know why it went wrong and destroyed itself through us ?
Did Spinoza not point this out to mankind and get spurned for his accurate philosophical point ?
Is is not then the norm to ignore the truth through reason based upon false premises, but in a sense all know the truth that could become thought ?
Do not some then notice that thought has become the tyrant of mankind because of propaganda, religion, politics... little room left for a God of love, if any ... ? But what scope for change, for freedom too love, when belief is subsumed to thought and the cause of thought is denied investigation ?
Is thought not a mechanical as a computer, put rubbish in get rubbish out ... so there is a 'quality' to thought , whether it is 'true to being' or just 'true to one or other of the world's traditions' ... ?
Is it not then that one's 'thought' does matter as result of where it comes from and that it becomes 'belief' ... ?

How can I get rid of the imperfection in the animation? How could one of the picture frames be different when I used the same picture for each of the frames? Has anyone else encounter problems like this when first attempting to make moving avatar gifs?

Is it yet time for this ? ...
Ecclesiastes 9:12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
Amos 5:13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
Revelation 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

I can't fix the imperfection and will probably just give up, so is it okay if I write this quick response without actually asking a question?

Is 'faith' in God, as distinct from faith in sinners' divided religious dogma, not faith in love, the 'law' of God in God's kingdom , commanded only of few saints in this life [Matt 7:14] , but of many in the next life in the kingdom, where the many as saints in a new life after resurrection are saved [Rev 7:9-10] at judgement day for righteousness in the new earth?
2 Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
