    Pope endorses same-sex civil unions in new documentary film

    I think it's more popular in mainline denominations that evangelical ones (in my experience, at least). However, more and more denominations are going the whole woke "open and affirming" route. To me, it's basically marriage without calling it marriage. What's next? Telling heterosexual...

    Fr. James Martin: Church must stop firing married LGBT people

    That's what it's become today, I'm afraid. The only Christianity that society accepts at large is a watered-down, feel-good, it's-okay-you're-a-good-person spirituality. The warnings about false teachers in the New Testament are so relevant today. The threats have always been here. And many...

    Bernie Sanders touts Canada health care system, Wesley Smith snarks

    As was mentioned in another Vox article, the concept of "Medicare X"—expanding Medicare and putting it on the market to compete with the private plans—is an interesting idea, especially if it's targeted at individuals who can't afford private insurance and don't qualify for Medicaid or Medicare...

    Elizabeth Warrens extreme transgender statement

    From the article: Fifty percent of the cabinet, and yet non-binary people probably make up no more than 1 percent of the population, if that. What does that even mean?

    Sex is for married heterosexual couples only, says Church of England

    The odd thing is so many liberal Christians (and non-Christians) mock traditional Christianity, but they don't dare say the same about traditional Islam... From the article: I would think faith in God would also include being obedient to what's in the Bible, not simply what's most comfortable...

    Sex is for married heterosexual couples only, says Church of England

    In our backwards post-modern society, it seems that even many fellow believers feel that Christianity should adapt itself to society, rather than the other way around. It's as if the Bible is only relevant to them as long as it's convenient.

    Father Asks Elizabeth Warren If He’s Going To Get His Money Back After Paying For Daughter’s Educati

    Similar programs like this exist. There are rural residency programs where healthcare professionals get their start in less desirable areas where in return they are able to go through a loan forgiveness program.

    A Hallmark channel CEO signals openess to gay Christmas films

    Yeah, do gay people really want to be represented in such saccharine, low effort attempts at entertainment? I think a lot of Christians watch Hallmark movies because they're safe and don't have to worry about anything shocking happening on the screen. With that said, they certainly don't...

    Could a Basic Minimum Income for all Americans decrease abortions?

    I'm certainly not saying a poor person's life is not worth anything or that someone of lesser means can't have a fulfilling life. However, forcing a woman to give birth for the sake of birth itself does not put a very high value on human life, as the pro-life movement seems to be more concerned...

    Americans Now Averaging Less Than 6 Hours Of Sleep Per Night

    That's definitely my problem, and I'm lucky to get six hours of sleep. It's not good. I work a comfy desk job with normal business hours, but I just get so distracted in the evening and am always looking at some sort of screen. Like the article more or less stated, it might be best to simply...

    Could a Basic Minimum Income for all Americans decrease abortions?

    Then fewer people on the planet is probably better, as there will be less competition for resources and jobs. True. We also need to keep in mind that not all abortions start out as "unwanted" pregnancies—some women happily become pregnant and only have an abortion once it's discovered that a...

    Hong Kong protesters call for 'Mulan' boycott after star went public in support of police

    It's so paradoxical that she is free to voice her opinions here in the United States without any personal repercussions, while someone in mainland China cannot vocally oppose its oppressive Communist government without severe consequences. She posted her statement on Weibo, since naturally...

    What Happens If You Have Sex Before Marriage?!?

    Perhaps because society foists it upon us unlike any other sin?

    Is sex before premarital sex really sinful?

    And just because something is difficult to do, that doesn't give us an excuse to not obey God. Postponing sex until marriage also allows one to get better acquainted with the non-physical and non-sexual sides of his or her significant instead of rushing into something that should be saved for...

    BIRTH CONTROL OF ANY SORT TAKES LIFE

    Choosing not to have children at all is another great way to reduce overpopulation. How is that not birth control? You're controlling whether birth will occur or not. Married Christian couples can faithfully serve God throughout their lives while still using birth control or even by not...

    17 Students Killed at Florida High School

    Sandy Hook was really our last chance. If dead first graders doesn't soften one's heart, nothing will. At this point it's just part of American life, all for a massively perverted interpretation of "freedom." And we've experienced freedom 18 times already this year.

    Britain's failing Healthcare

    I remember reading a story about an expectant Canadian couple vacationing in Hawaii and the wife suddenly went into labor and gave birth, and they got a $1 million bill from the hospital. It's absolutely absurd to think that America's healthcare system is superior to that of any other developed...

    Three fatal AMTRAK crashes in 49 days: Why do we even have a government-run railroad?

    We massively subsidize transportation in general. If we weren't, then everyone would be paying tolls to drive on freeways and airfare would be a lot more expensive since we wouldn't have the government building expensive airports and managing the airspace. There is nothing inherently wrong...

    Should the Christian Bible consist only of the four gospels?
