  • 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 Mamdani Model: More Socialist Mayors to ComeBeware! The DSA will attempt to repeat Mamdani’s success in other Democrat strongholds.

I dunno - I'd characterize some of the claims made about Islam in this thread as "irrational fear".

If nobody can see and feel the things about Islam that I do, then all I can say is that maybe I have inherited some epigenetic effects from an ancestor who saw Islam *exactly* the same way I do, and so my DNA is pushing me into protection-mode, which was prepared for me, should the exact same neuronal firing sequence take place again.

I'm sure my ancestors fought beside the Habsburgs, during the battles of Kobolkut, as well as the Battle of Vienna, and I'm sure of it, because it's my ancestral homeland, and I exist - so I must come from the survivors of that.

The NEA is pushing far left teaching upon children

Opinions can be wrong sometimes, ya know. Gender isn't biology, it's identity.


As has been demonstrated, that isn't happening.

Granted, there have been a small handful of adolescents who have experience adverse outcomes, though most report favorable ones. But that only indicates that more information is needed, not less.

-- A2SG, more information is always better than less.....
Saying gender is identity is an ideology not based on science. It’s based on a theory if anything. If adults feel that way, good for them, I don’t care.

And as I said, just leave minors alone. They aren’t mature enough.

Adults can make their own decisions.

Is that not fair?

How Can People Get Confused with Christianity and Nazism?

I've been thinking about the stark contrast between Christianity and Nazism, yet I've noticed that some people seem to conflate the two. One promotes love, forgiveness, and humility, while the other is rooted in hatred, domination, and prejudice.

Context: One prays, the other preys.

How is it possible for individuals to draw parallels between these two ideologies? Could it be due to historical misinterpretations, propaganda, or a misunderstanding of faith itself? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this confusing juxtaposition.

  • What examples can you share that highlight these misconceptions?
  • How can we better educate others on the true message of Christianity in light of such conflation?
  • What role do you think social media plays in perpetuating these misunderstandings?
Looking forward to a thoughtful discussion!

Wrong because I don’t accept an ideology? That’s just an opinion and nothing more.

This isn’t about dogma. It’s about protecting minors from being harmed by an extreme ideology and things they don’t understand.

B flat B♭

-
I would suggest to really be selective in your choice of videos. Because the person who is doing these videos is a nut case and definitely will not put a positive case out to the public for flat earth beliefs.

Thank you - I have deleted the post & will be more selective in future :thumbsup:

What do you mean with endorsing an ideology? So, schools have to at least discuss LGBTQ people in the political and historical sense, and schools have an obligation to make sure they are not discriminated against because of their LGBTQ status.

If LGBTQ persons are accepted by society in general, it a good thing that students are exposed to this view regardless of the parents view. Kids are not obligated to share their parents view on all topics.
I don’t know. It’s still controversial and people may be opposed to it. Treat people right and keep social issues from an academic, neutral perspective. Don’t bully or belittle anyone.

Just my opinion to keep everyone happy.

Two National Guard soldiers shot in Washington DC

DC had crime trending down well before any national guardsmen had ever been sent in.
DC was fudging the crime figures.
The president wanted theater and now two young soldiers are dead. This is squarely on his shoulders.
You are a sick individual.

Yes, we need peace here. And we aren't going to get it allowing people like this in. God won't save us from the consequences of our own foolish actions.
Foolish actions like pointless deployments of our National Guard, putting them in harms way.

God has judged them justly and God alone is the true judge.

Praying for peace throughout our land! Amen!

Kinda depends on how you go about doing it, don't you think?


Well then, you're just wrong. But you're free to believe whatever you like.


That's the funny thing about science, as we learn new stuff, it changes.

Yes killed for the glory of Islam and Allah. This wasn't despair. This was Islamic martyrdom to enter paradise by killing infidels. Apparently he didn't get his wish.

No. Refusing to bow down to fantasy or a specific agenda is NOT rude.

And I do not accept gender ideology to begin with because I see it as harmful, so I very much see gender as biology.
Well then, you're just wrong. But you're free to believe whatever you like.

Males are men. Females are women. Intersex is a birth defect.

This was well accepted until rather recently.

Pope Leo wants us to pray for people suffering under the heavy burden of despair.

Not all suicides are obvious ones.....

I am going to guess that this Afgan citizen lost all hope, because he was going to be greatly outnumbered and most likely killed

Pentagon investigating Sen. Mark Kelly over 'refuse illegal orders' video

Thank you for showing that you'd support what those democrats are trying to do in creating divisions between our military members.
What would be the rationale for conducting war with Venezuela that is covered by any current Congressional resolution?
And if it's not, why shouldn't Congresspeople call that an illegal operation?
