  • 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.

A ChatGPT poem, quite good.

Amidst the rubble, shattered dreams and cries,
A world of pain and loss before our eyes.
Where once were homes, now stand broken walls,
And in the air, the scent of grief prevailing falls.
We mourn for those who lost their lives,
For families torn apart and scattered dreams.
In their memory, we'll keep their plight alive,
And in our thoughts, their images shall remain seen.
For those who've survived, we offer our love,
In this time of sorrow and despair.
Their strength and courage, from heaven above,
A shining example of human care.
We stand with those who suffer still,
Whose wounds both physical and emotional please, Lord, heal.
And in the face of loss and grief, we will,
Give support and comfort unfeigned and real.
Let us together come, hand in hand,
In solidarity and unity, we'll stand.
For all the victims of this earthly blight,
Our goods and efforts, to them, take flight.
[A poem generated by ChatGPT, edited and corrected by me; it is not perfect, but it is expressive of sadness]
