• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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.

Then other people ought to take precautions.

A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.
Proverbs 27:1 (NLT)
I agree. Personally, my solution is to roundup all the families who refuse to vaccinate and exile them to a suitable, isolated island. It is a simple precaution, but I think it would be effective.

I agree with many here who see intolerance as driven by fear. However there is a religious aspect. Religion doesn't necessarily create intolerance. But it makes it possible to attribute it to God. Where it might be possible to deal with intolerance as people get to know each other, wrapping your intolerance in religion will tend to make it harder to change.
