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 attack at Bondi is symptomatic of this larger trend.
What can be done to address the haters and overthrow their agenda?

Pontiole underwater Paul, and Peter
- Biblical Archaeology

In this text
www.newadvent.org
Paul curses a Roman city because Nero killed a Christian there, and it sinks under water. The text is written third person historical narrative, and ends with Peter, and Paul being killed by Nero in the 60s AD. There is no internal claim to date of authorship or of authorship. The wiki page does not say why someone has dated it to around 500 AD Acts of Peter and Paul - Wikipedia. To me the text reads very early. Parts of that city are underwater today

. It was the Las Vegas of ancient Rome meaning there was a lot of sin there. The woman in the video says it went underwater 400 AD (IIRC). I believe the text is historically accurate, and therefore the city went under in the 60s AD.
Pontiole = (modern-day Pozzuoli),
And Dioscorus the shipmaster, who brought him to Syracuse, sympathizing with Paul because he had delivered his son from death, having left his own ship in Syracuse, accompanied him to Pontiole. And some of Peter's disciples having been found there, and having received Paul, exhorted him to stay with them. And he stayed a week, in hiding, because of the command of Cæsar. And all the toparchs were watching to seize and kill him. But Dioscorus the shipmaster, being himself also bald, wearing his shipmaster's dress, and speaking boldly, on the first day went out into the city of Pontiole. Thinking therefore that he was Paul, they seized him, and beheaded him, and sent his head to Cæsar.
Cæsar therefore, having summoned the first men of the Jews, announced to them, saying: Rejoice with great joy, for Paul your enemy is dead. And he showed them the head. Having therefore made great rejoicing on that day, which was the fourteenth of the month of June, each of the Jews fully believed it.
And Paul, being in Pontiole, and having heard that Dioscorus had been beheaded, being grieved with great grief, gazing into the height of the heaven, said: O Lord Almighty in heaven, who hast appeared to me in every place whither I have gone on account of Your only-begotten Word, our Lord Jesus Christ, punish this city, and bring out all who have believed in God and followed His word. He said to them therefore: Follow me: And going forth from Pontiole with those who had believed in the word of God, they came to a place called Baias; and looking up with their eyes, they all see that city called Pontiole sunk into the sea-shore about one fathom; and there it is until this day, for a remembrance, under the sea.

Well actually this should have all ended in my post 2869 once it was pointed out that this was a AI overview that Apple used to show her overall viewpoint of the connection between masonry and NASA. It in no way means that Apple agreed with the alleged moon landing even if mentioned in the Ai overview. And it should have been obvious to all that she wasn’t implying that she now believed that men walked on the moon simply because the AI post said . We are all aware of what Apple believes on the moon landings. You say so I’ve written a long post . I guess when you doubled down with your rather longish reply to me in your post 2871 of which you continued to accuse Apple. Even more so after l had clearly shown you that it was clearly a AI overview and not in complete agreement with Apples thoughts. Guess I had no choice but to send you a rather long letter back in reply back. . It be yu that continues to make a mountain out of a mole hill . Not me. IAs to my pink oblongs. I like pink : ) Stonginhim no need for a more detailed reply I have already ascertained that there has simply been a big misunderstanding on the whole matter and that Apple should never have been accused of what has been claimed.So you've written a long post - complete with pink oblongs - to explain why I am making a mountain out of a molehill?
As Apple Sky would say,
I'll answer your post in detail if you like, but it would only be prolonging the, rather circular, discussion.

National Security Strategy
The National Security Strategy: The Good, the Not So Great, and the Alarm Bells
This NSS marks an ideological and substantive shift in U.S. foreign policy, as the administration defines a new “America First” foreign policy doctrine that is deeply pragmatic, and perhaps short-sighted. This is a truly pivotal moment in the way the world works.
“Foreign policy choices will be made based on what makes the United States more powerful and prosperous. That’s fair, and clearly what the American people voted for, but today’s self-interested choices may lead to a far lonelier, weaker, more fractured future. This is a truly pivotal moment in the way the world works.”
