  • 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.

What's on your mind?

Every generation does. It comes and goes. It seems to cycle. Like Roman times where it was like today. To the Victorian era where it was... I can't think of the expression. but you know what I am saying.

Every generation is obsessed with it in a different way.

I don't know what you are saying, but I don't like it and I'm offended.

I'm talking about how everything is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and whatever phobic and it's literally tearing the Western world apart. It's at the point where white Christian males are a scapegoat for all the world's current problems just because of what happened in the past.

Everyone's offended by everything. I remember back in the 2000's political correctness was becoming problematic but now it's like an international crisis.

Right. The cycle continues. Morality is evil and Immorality is Good. There is a scripture about that. We are cycling back into the times when immorality was rampant, and even a part of worship. And those who did not agree, were looked down on as evil.
Things are starting to look like they did in the 1st century or so.

As a student in Bible Prophecy, I totally agree with this and think we are descending into collective insanity under the guise of human rights. Professing themselves to be wise they became fools.

No.. there is something more extreme about this time..
I'm not sure. I agree that things wax worse and worse. I am focusing on the sexuality aspect of the conversation. Have you ever read about what went on in the 1st centuries. in the pagan temples etc.

Everything was blamed on the Christians and they were persecuted. Even Nero (who castrated a young boy and then married him) burnt down Rome and blamed it on those Christians. Everyone feared, mistrusted them and bought the story.

I agree with you that it is not the same. I am not saying that Rome was worse in every way. Just that the times are coming back. Maybe different in application, but the same in idea. I just hope I am not around when the real persecution begins again.

Oh. Well I'd say it's even worse now. Fetishes get more and more extreme by the decade. I know ancient Roman emperors provide us some of the earliest commentary of fetishes (even furryism) but I doubt it's expressed anything like today.

Mainly due to a better access of information.

They had beastiality and everything back then too. And it was open and accepted. Pedophilia and prostitution was an accepted practice, etc. Even a part of worship.

I am not saying that they are worse in every way. Just that we are not worse in every way.

Lol.. yeah maybe they were worse in some ways..
That's all I'm saying. We have distanced ourselves from them by rejecting some of their fetishes... but we have replaced them with new ones of our own which can be pretty sick...
By we I mean this generation. Not me and you etc.

I like the times where furries were held in higher esteem...

Evil is universal among mankind, but the depths to which ancient Canaanites, first-century Rome, and Jerusalem in its last years were breathtaking in their wickedness. It's little wonder that the oft-vilified conquistadores viewed themselves as waging holy war. Christianity is the foundation of the West, and when it is hacked at by those who disagree with its principles, what then? The alternative is positively horrific.

First world problems:
My alarm clock is continually 5 minutes slow.
I always set it 9 minutes fast (no idea why), and recently it has been resetting itself after a few hours. I know it's a small problem but when I wake up in the morning and I am 14 minutes off in my brain... it drives me CRAZY!

On positive note my t-shirt finally came in the mail. I am so freaking excited over a simple shirt ^_^
