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.
The things that are important to us

Dear Lithium,
I can't think of a scripture like that, but maybe someone here will find it. However, taking the 10 commandments alone you can see through each command that he cares about what is important to us. It is really throughout the bible that he cares about what is important to us whether good, and good for us, or wrong, maybe sin, what is wrong for us.
I don't know if I'm explaining this very well, but I can clarify more if you like, or you may already know what I mean.
As for a verse I'll keep thinking on it. What a great question.
Take care. Tapero

Lithium,
I think it is enough to say that God loves us, but also to remember that if there is any sinful desire in us, then He will most definitely not support it, but oppose it, and discipline us because of His love for us.
I would also say that the multitudes of references that say that God will grant the desires of the righteous are sufficient. Here's one, Ps. 37:4, "Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." Also see Ps. 145:19.
I hope that answers your question!
God cares!
