  • 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 "blue wave" last night and the government shutdown

    We do seem to have fallen on hard times for politicians. On the bright side, the election chaos next year should be very entertaining.

    Sure, but it would help do dig up some decent opposition.

    I'm a bit staggered by the futility of the point.

    Payment plans do not equal pay what you can. They're still paying at least the same amount, just over a longer amount of time. It will still be crushing to an income.

    I'm afraid that this is an incredibly vague and unhelpful comment. A great many people are not going to find affordable health care without government assistance.

    Because they see the fault as lack of reasonable compromise on the part of the MAGA party.

    Hubble Constant (Ho) fixed to light speed, C and calculated as 71 k/s/Mpc. God did it!!

    After all this I still have no idea why you would multiply those particular numbers together, and what they have to do with God.

    No, our way would say 2 minutes per mile. The inverse of distance over time is time over distance.

    A basic principle of math applies in only certain scenarios? Do tell. if you're using some goofy, made-up version of math, you gotta tell us the rules. You're going to have to invent a new version of math to make this kind of thing work.

    Bill Gates Says Climate Change ‘Will Not Lead to Humanity’s Demise’

    It's not too late to make things worse! I'm sure we can push it to an extinction-level event if we try. Don't give up.

    Ho is distance divided by time (i.e. velocity) all divided by distance. The distance units cancel out, leaving only inverse time.

    But... they didn't have kilometers or light years as units of measurement when the Bible was written... Numerology is so nonsensical.

    Hubble Constant (Ho) fixed to light speed, C and calculated as 71 k/s/Mpc. God did it!!

    Why? I could say "just accept that this dog is really a porcupine", and it doesn't get me any closer to figuring out whether God created the universe or not. You've multiplied some numbers together and ask us to accept that the units make sense somehow. People aren't disagreeing with you...

    Hubble Constant (Ho) fixed to light speed, C and calculated as 71 k/s/Mpc. God did it!!

    Huh. Personally, I would love it if God created the universe. I'm not following your reasoning, though. Even if the equation somehow worked the way you think it does, what does that have to do with God?

    Trump live updates: President expands ‘narco’ boat strikes to Pacific Ocean as 8th boat is struck

    I wanna see a video of a squadron of FA-18s taking out a drug smuggling boat. Make if for me, Donald.
