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.

I am incredulous, I can't imagine feeling that way.

Spare me your emotion and indignation.freewilly said:Rewards would help you sacrifice your child?
I'd doubt anyone that claims pressure from the public and rewards in the form of acknowledgement and wealth would have zero impact on their decision. My reply didn't suggest to what degree these factors would impact me, whether it be a little or a lot. I find your response naive in regards to human nature if you believe it would have no impact though. It's an ugly fact that we might not want to acknowledge, but it's far more consistent with human behavior/motivations then this pure altruistic idea you have of yourself. Besides as far as wealth goes, who's to say how it will be spent. The money could be used for many sponsored charities, thus making your sacrafice and that of your child more significant to the lives of others.

My response was not in regards to human nature, it was in regards to how I alone feel and I stand by my statement. There is no reward that would make me more inclined to sacrifice my children. Period.
Now I don't doubt for a moment that ther are poeple who this would influenece, I am not naive.
