We have pets on earth because we don't have enough love for each other. That won't be a problem in heaven.

I have. While I was in the Philippines during the reign of Ferdinand Marcos, there was a brave newspaper editor who published opinions against him. One of Marcos' known political lieutenants had the editors three daughters kidnapped, murdered, dismembered, and their bodies stacked on the...

I won't dispute that Biden is too doggoned old to be president of the United States. And so is Trump.

The other witnesses backed up Cohen's testimony, however, which strongly suggests that whatever he might have lied about, it was not about the central issues of the case.

No, not directly. There have been at least a couple of state officials who have served from prison, and some ex-felons who have been elected to state offices. The only thing that could happen is for Congress to pass a new resolution to prevent him from running or holding office...and that's not...

An old man getting a name wrong is nowhere near, in this universe or any other, the intentional, repeated public contempt Trump has heaped upon the military dead, imprisoned, and disabled.

And that build-up would be observed, these days, by a host of people...even civilians.

The responsibility goes in both directions. But unless one wants to wallow in one's own spiritual weakness, one will accept both responsibilities equally, rather than saying either "I'm too spiritually weak to be gracious" or "I'm too spiritually weak to be steadfast."

Graciousness, being aware of the sensitivities of people around us, should be a normal aspect of a Christian life. If we're going to offend people, let them be offended by the gospel, not our personal style. If you're walking around a different country, you should have noted how they dress...

Nah. Taiwan has been an issue since the end of WWII when the Chiang took refuge there from Mao, back when "Made in Taiwan" was a matter of ridicule.

History.
