I agree, but his term ended in January of 2017.

The problem is that there really are a lot of things we've been told for decades or even centuries that turned out to not be true. What's happening is people are taking the concept too far and questioning things that they have personal knowledge of. It's fine to say, "Is this true", but with a...

Yep. Look how many people in youtube video comments are actually seriously discussing that the earth is flat. It's kinda comical.

Feminists are so cute when they're mad. )

Exactly. We know as much about images regarding trump as we do regarding Pence, Obama, or any other politician. All this is, so far, is a Big Fat Claim, which is meaningless without evidence. In my brain, it doesn't exist until there is evidence (pictures) that it does.

Yep. What really puzzles me about this whole thing is that we are a constitutional republic based on some aspects of democracy. A key component is that the voters/citizens are who is represented by our representatives. So, why are they ignoring their constituents and working instead in the best...

I'm actually preparing a curriculum for a Sunday school class I want to teach in my church that will be titled from the old Firesign Theater album: Everything you know is wrong. It's about what you are discussing. BTW, the reason I'm here is to both teach and learn, and get perspectives...

I think the word is significant. In fact, a couple of years ago I started saying this: Every single person alive has the exact same life span. We even have a word for it. The word is "today". So, today is your life. What are you going to do with it? Thing is, even Paul said I die every day. I...

FWIW, when I first became a Christian, I was in a fairly large (around 1,000 members) church that had a homosexual music director. He repented and the church allowed him to lead as long as he didn't act on his sinful nature. It's really the same thing as telling a single heterosexual the same...

God have mercy on me, a sinner. Keep in mind that the young heterosexuals have the same problem with lust that you have - just for the opposite sex. Yours comes with another facet that makes it difficult, obviously, for they have an unsinful outlet (marriage) that you do not. Think of it as the...

Exactly. The thing about trump is that he is willing to move beyond "talk". As the first Roosevelt said, "Speak softly and carry a big stick". Or we can just talk and let them walk all over us. Maybe we could borrow a red line from Obama and throw it at Mexico. He must still have a lot of those...

Comeing from a SDA family, this is something I've discussed a LOT with relatives for many decades. There are arguments from both sides that are pretty good, at least on the surface. Since I don't want to discuss every single point, one by one, because it's already been done here, I'll just throw...

I believe this has been going on for many decades. I saw it as a problem the last time I was in San Diego. That was about 30 years ago. Sadly, the Americas are not a covenant neighborhood. You can throw your trash in your neighbor country's swimming pool if you want. it's up to them to stop you.

What does the bible say about killing and eating animals? It's a rhetorical question. The bible very much permits it. Frankly, it assumes it as "normal" as much as it assumes marriage is between a man and a woman.

I am a Christian. Jesus IS my Sabbath, my "rest".
