  • 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.

From one South Carolinian to another:

I've noticed you're a little... overzealous about how anime, manga, and video games are the works of Satan.

Now, anyone else would have let up by now if you were joking, but I have to ask:

(Col 2:20-22, Message translation) "...If with Christ you've put all that pretentious and infantile religion behind you, why do you let yourselves be bullied by it?-Don't touch this! Don't taste that!Don't go near this!-Do you think that things that are here today, and gone tomorrow are worth that kind of attention?"

(Rom 14:14, Message translation) "I'm convinced--Jesus convinced me!--that eveything as it is in itself is holy. We, of course, by the way we treat it or talk about it, can contaminate it."

If anime, manga, or video games ruined your life, it's your fault. Don't spoil our fun because of what happened to you.

I had a car crash last year. That's because I didn't practice driving enough. Should I just say that noone should drive, that driving is always dangerous? No. Some (...OK, MOST) people are more competent at driving than I am, and that's good for them.

(Rom 6:14, Message translation) "Sin can't tell you how to live. After all, you're not living under that old tyranny any longer. You're living in the freedom of God."
