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?

Could it be not wanting to exclude the remote possibility that you have an answer, or at least a question ?

...why run from who you are,
why doubt what you must know you are ?
... will the world's poison
laced with sugar
destroy you too with lust and greed,
envy, hatred , fear ...
by which you think you live and control security of your imagined world
by which you deny the perfect endless existence ?
Ezekiel 3:18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
James 1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
2 Corinthians 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
Philippians 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
1 Kings 8:61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes
Deuteronomy 18:13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
Matthew 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
Psalms 101:3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Luke 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

.. the words of God so terrible
that many cannot hear
for most will only listen
to words which they can bear
but endlessness creates all worlds
beauty beyond compare
so what is it beyond all ends
- what do you think is 'there' ? ...
there's power greater than a man
which saves a man from death
but many do not see it
till taking their 'last breath'
we breathe life in
we breathe it out
our spirit be our guide
but few understand what life's about
just blindly take a ride...
what wisdom is, why acts be right,
for everyone the choice,
most still decide life with a fight
hide from the inner voice...
earth, born of change,
most spurn your rage
abuse you every way
deny the script writ for this stage
- Truth hardly known this way -
men live by sin
not what's within
though saints still have their say
for love has power to re-create
and will do
come what may...
the many saved in later age
when this earth's gone away
will owe then their great happiness
to few who loved today
for love's the only way to bliss
in knowing what we are
for one-ness endlessness it is
creation cannot mar ... ?

Is pea soup not souper(stet) thick ? - so that it became a cliche for the thick polluted atmosphere from mankind's sin against man ?
Pea soup fog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
can you imagine what atmosphere the biggest earthquake the earth has ever known would generate?
Revelation 16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
enough that the dust and SO2 acid in the air blot out the sun to blackness ?
is this not enough to try and swallow ?

If so I want to know when will the illusion get better?
Did God not tell us [Isaiah 6:11] - then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate ?
Do you not believe Him ?
