  • 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.

Don’t shoot the messenger.
Messenger?
You mean your job is to announce, "thus saith TikTok"?
Oh, however did people know anything without social media? Poor Isaiah; denied the chance to search Instagram he was forced to ask, and listen to, the Lord.

Another look at the moon landing.

So what are you saying, that God doesn't do enough of a good job ?
That is very disingenuous of you.
Of course he isn't saying that. He is saying if that is the moon's job then the moon isn't managing to do it's job. Do you think God is responsible for Adam and Eve's failure?

Dear Pete Hegseth, I’m Grateful the Japanese Navy Spared My Grandfather’s Life

Well, you made a very convincing argument.
You're confused. It was your argument. It's what you want. All you could do was offer some pseudo satirical acceptance of it. Now you have no options except deflection. It's your only recourse. Which, in case you weren't aware, simply confirms the observation.

Well, I say It's your only recourse. But you could of course actually tell us that you'd be happy for all these dealers to be killed with no due process whether on the high seas or your local neighbourhood. In fact, I suspect that you'd be more convinced that they should be executed if they were in your suburb.

Trump’s team sees Europe’s ‘erasure.’

I guess I am not too savy on the details on what is going on. I just know that the UK is punishing people for "mean tweets" for criticizing immigrant rapists. So, in my opinion, Europe is on a self-guilt motivated suicide mission. Who are we to stop them.
UK is not in the EU, which is the topic. And you can read the plain language of what's going on in this thread. It's not technical at all and anyone can understand it.

What does freedom of speech have to do with the topic? EU very much cares about it, but that has nothing to do with the topic, so how about we leave it alone and not try to derail the topic?
I have been fasting from the media for the last few weeks. So honestly, I have no clue what is going on. So apparently, I am too uninformed on this topic.

You are talking and a lot of Americans are disagreeing with you. Europe is a democratic ally of the USA. You are already in a cyber war with Russia and China and they have been stealing your secrets for years and plotting the end of your global influence.
Make no mistake, America's government is well aware that the EU loves getting into the mind of, and infiltrating American politics, which is exactly what Russia and China do. Everyone's playing the same game, so let's not pretend like our common democratic policies hold us bonded together, because that's only how it looks at face value, while behind the back, people are all making maneuvers against one another as competing nations/entities.

Aside from all those elitist power-plays, us civilians can still be friendly, as long as we're all enlightened enough to see through the political nonsense. An example friendliness, would be entertaining a debate, that centered on *you* and not me for once.

No, you can clearly read what was the issue with X in the link and quotes previously given. Nothing to do with free speech, so not sure why you brought that up as a distraction about what the issue here was.

EU apparently doesn't care about freedom of speech. Yet they have the audacity to snub their noses at the US because of...?

Don't be nonsensical. You can discuss Europe as much as you like. But you were told that any decision about whether any Europeans wish to remain in the EU will be made, rather obviously, by the Europeans themselves. And ridiculously asked why. Who the heck do you think would make it?

And there's no apostrophe in 'mouths' (just so this post wasn't a complete waste of my time).
Sure. We can tell Europe whatever, but innthe end, they will do what they want. But the blatant hypocrisy has not gone unnoticed and severely degrades their credibility and moral standing.

By "ethical requirements" I assume you meant speech restrictions and censorship. Makes me more appreciative that I live in the US where we still barely cling onto a freedom of speech.

Ok. Don't ever speak another word about 1st or 2nd amendment rights, Donald Trump, or anything to do with American politics again. Ever... KEEP OUR POLITICS OUT YOUR MOUTH'S.

Musk would like the EU to break up to make it easier for him to break basic ethical requirements on his business there.

Dear Pete Hegseth, I’m Grateful the Japanese Navy Spared My Grandfather’s Life

Oh, please. Do not try to convince us that you needed to be convinced. You have made your position just about as clear as it can be. Someone who not just excuses but celebrates the execution of defenceless men in the water is not going to have any qualms about it being done on terra firma, whatever the alleged crime. So spare us the pseudo sarcastic agreement.

Then again, maybe it's conscience that prevents you from agreeing with Trump when he says 'kill them all'.
Well, you made a very convincing argument. You have also not only excused, but celebrated the execution of innocent unborn children in defense of their mother's poor decisions. So spare the moral superiority complex, when in reality, you are no different than I. I say kill the murdering rapists to spare hundreds of innocent. You say, kill the innocent unborn to spare the murdering mother. So who is truly worse? As you have said, this is something you have to reconcile. But murder is a legal term and is nonsensical to discuss regarding the unborn, according to you. Likewise, murder is a legal term and is nonsensical to discuss regarding enemy combatants wishing to do harm to innocent American civilians, both women and children. Pick your poison.

Given the many Jews that are working for NASA, I don’t think that connection slipped their mind.

Again, magic wands are made out of the Holly tree. There’s a lot more witchcraft, Druid reference to substantiate this.
I have no idea how many Jews work for NASA, but even if the majority of NASA workers were Jews (which I doubt), NASA workers didn't choose the acronym, just as the soldiers in a particular regiment didn't choose the regiment's name.

As for wands, some may be made from holly wood, but by no means all are. I did a google search for "what are wands made of" and found many sites saying that various woods are used. Here is just one example, from https://www.tudorhouse.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Magic-Wands.pdf

"According to the Book of Honorius, wands are traditionally made of wood and a wand maker might cut a branch from a hazel tree or any nut tree. The wood must be new or green wood and ideally should be cut at sunrise on a Wednesday! It was cut and then carved it into shape and then decorated to personalise it."
