    The United Methodist Schism

    One can be both concerned about the current situation that conservative Methodists are facing, which is shaking them to the core, and be compassionate to those who wish to see a change towards being more inclusive. I honestly see no easy answer and fear that the denomination will split towards...

    How would you make society more moral?

    Then how do you account for the fact that H.S. grads make more money than non H.S. grads, and that Associate degree holders make more money than H.S. grads,and that Bachelors degree holders make more money than Associate degree holders etc?

    How would you make society more moral?

    Sorry it's been a while since I've been back to the board. If a parent isn't interested enough in their childs education to make sure their homework is done and that they actually make it to school. What makes you think they will actually teach their children? Most families now, especially in...

    And exactly how would you assure the education of the poor?

    Should your religion intefere with your work?

    Which duty did he willfully refuse to fulfill? I mean I agree he shouldn't be carrying a gun due to the law I'm just trying to figure out what I missed that you caught.

    Abnormal maybe but I'm not sure he's dangerous.

    Hi BFG.

    Should your religion intefere with your work?

    I thought you were going to ask something difficult like should Christian Pharmacists (in a free market economy) be required to carry the morning after pill in their pharmacy. This one is easy. According to the laws of every state (as far as I know) people who see things that others would not...

    What would change?

    As a Christian I am not sure I can answer this question although I think it is a good one. The reason I cannot answer it, is because I cannot understand how you can prove something (in this case God) doesn't exist. I am looking forward to the answers though.

    How would you make society more moral?

    I have given this a lot of thought, and the only thing I can come up with is making available universal higher learning. Studies have shown that while educated persons can still be violent, the more highly one is educated the less likely they are to be involved in violent crime. Would it...

    How would you make society more moral?

    There are many tribal cultures that believe that killing and rape of members of other tribes (if I recall correctly mostly Amazonian) is a very moral thing to do. Or at least this was the case when I took Cultural Anthropology.

    Is marriage an oppressive institution?

    I misunderstood your comment. I humbly apologize.

    Found this article, what do you think?

    I appreciate your offer and I hope that we can continue the discussion. I assume that your personal experience is affected much the same way mine is. You are more likely to develop friendships with persons who are likely to think much the same way you do. This is natural and is...

    Gaia Strikes Back!

    And you have the right to think whatever you wish to think. But I personally know far more Christians who are involved in feeding the hungry than I do who protest homosexuals. In fact I don't know any who protest homosexuals.

    Is marriage an oppressive institution?

    Because in the long run they create more of a crisis situation. Who is going to lose their job to help pay for it? Who isn't going to get the new job that isn't going to be created because of it? On site daycare is incredibly expensive and certainly limits the benefits and pay available to...
