    The Christian Conservative Right Is A Sham.

    I was just stating a fact. I wasn't opining. It's not my brush I'm painting with. The church is made up of conservatives in an overwhelming majority. It's a fact. Politically, those conservatives support reducing or completely removing any government aid and they support political candidates who...

    The Christian Conservative Right Is A Sham.

    I was just thinking about this. Conservatives don't believe in "handouts" so they want to do away with things like welfare and emergency funds etc. and have people rely on the church to help them. Problem is, the church is made up of conservatives who don't believe in "handouts". It's...

    The Christian Conservative Right Is A Sham.

    I agree. In a perfect world it would be true. But in reality the church would rather help someone in Uganda. I am in financial ruin and on the verge of homelessness. I went to my church (which is huge and extremely affluent) and they flat out refused to help. But, the government said yes. I am...

    I have a dislike for someone

    It seems to me that part of your job would be protecting your work. Which means filing DMCA. You can forgive her and also protect your work. If I worked for a Christian company and stole from them I wouldn't expect them to just forgive me and let me continue to steal from them. As far as your...

    Impromptu Witnessing advice?

    Just be honest and forthright. All you can do is explain what following Christ means to you. Pray that the spirit gives you words. Don't worry. Sharing your faith is all you can do. Whether the person isn't receptive is out of your hands. Another thing would be to be honest about your...

    How do I tell my wife that she is gaining too much weight?

    I'd suggest doing what others are saying here. Start focusing on health yourself. Get into it! Look at healthy foods and recipes, get into exercise and healthy living. Make it a fun lifestyle change for both of you. I did this in a relationship before and we both really got into it as a new...

    Dating someone with a mental illness

    Just because you both have mental health issues doesn't mean your kids will. You have mental illness, ask your mom whether she'd rather you hadn't been born. My feeling is she would say "no way!". So, if your child has mental illness then you'd love them just as much as your mother loves you...

    Advice on "tithing"?

    I have talked to some people in my church about their use of funds when it comes to charities and I disagreed with some of it. They have their "vision" for the church and that boat has sailed. I really don't think we need another gymnasium and I don't think the way there are strings attached to...

    World Vision hiring gays?

    The people in need who we support are important, I totally agree. Myself and the people I know and have seen would NEVER simply rip our funding out from under the children we sponsor. If, in our prudence, we decided that giving our support to this organization was something we couldn't do our...

    Is it really only entertainment?

    There's no question it affects us. Consciously and subconsciously. That's the whole reason there is such a huge ad push. We (and they) know is affects us and that's why they spend millions and millions on commercials. Think about this: Commercials are so effective and proven to influence us...

    Advice on "tithing"?

    blankCrossfire, thanks! I'm trying to decide whether to give to the charities or to a church in need. Both are good I suppose. As I said in my OP I'm not here to debate whether tithing to the temple is a requirement. I know the scriptures and I have fully researched the subject at length and...

    Advice on "tithing"?

    I have been struggling on where to give. I'm not looking to debate about whether tithing is a requirement or not. You're free to believe that it is. My church is gigantic. It's extremely wealthy. They don't need my money first of all. Secondly, I don't agree with where a lot of the money...
