  • 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.

First, if homosexuals are not to blame that who or what is?
Second, why is blaming homosexuals a bad thing?
Third, what is a foreseeable course of action to take to solve this problem?

Question.

Would it hurt you too deeply if I decided to blame Catholics for all the world's problems, and the nigh-extinction of my people? (I'm a native American for those wondering).

But that's not fair, given you didn't actively participate in the wholesale slaughter.

Why does one blame gay people for the world's problems? Because they're too stuck up to realize they might be part of the 'problems' to?

And what problems are you speaking of?

Oh jeez, The "native americans" came from Asia through the bering straight. America is not their original land and it is yours just as anyone elses..No one has original claim to america..

Of course gays aren't to blame for all worlds problems. However lust is the cause of the damnation of many people

Yes. We came over through the Bering. But that was an extremely long time ago. We've been on the American continent more than long enough to proclaim it our own.

I find it ironic that people who supposedly came bearing the concept of own-able private property have so little qualms about depriving land from prior inhabitants. If, as you say, no one has original claim to america, then illegal immigrants have just as much right to live in america as legal american citizens.

A hard question: God had decided to destroy Sodom even before the residents tried to "know" his angels. However, if Sodom had taken Lot up on his 'offer' and raped his daughters instead, do you suppose their punishment would have been any less?

no, you haven't...In fact , many say Siberians lived in North America before the Indians came from the Bering Straight,, no one has claim to a whole continent, no matter how long they have been there..

Well, first off the reasons are given for Sodom & Gomorrah's destruction in the Bible, homosexuality is not listed. (I forget the actual verse, can anyone recall it? It is elsewhere from the main story.)
The reason given is the people's failure to keep the hospitality laws, if I remember correctly.

I'm not sure who is to blame for this "dark" in America. My thoughts are that you should look to your economic system. The dollar is prized above all else, above morality, truth, individual rights etc. This seems to be where the problem lies, not in someone's sexuality.

The culture of greed and consumerism cheapens life till we are nothing more than spending robots, gathering useless items we don't really need and hoarding them.

I'm aware it's difficult to discuss alternative economic systems in America as there is constant pro-capitalist anti-everything else propaganda that people grow up with. But it would be a good thing to look into.

Well the point that I was making is that we, believers of Jesus, are to be blame for the "dark" in America because we let out light shine in it.

Get it.

If the problem in Sodom and & Gomorrah was all homosexuality then God would have no reason to destroy the city because there would not have been that messy by product of children and the society would have just ended all by its self. I mean if the whole city was a homosexual paradise then there would have been no children.

Then kindly explain my existence. Both of my biological parents are homosexual.

So as Strangelove pointed out, then you must not have any problems with illegal immigration. Since we dont OWN America we dont have the right to tell people who can and cannot live here, right?
