    Elliot Page, 'Juno' star, shares transgender identity

    I think people should identify as they wish; however; merely stating one is a man does not make one a man in the literal sense.

    How can any Christian vote for pro-abortion politicians?

    Like a majority of Americans, I think abortion should be legal with restrictions. But it is interesting how the "pro-life" stance seems geared only to those in utero, not those already born. At least the Catholic Church has a consistent life ethic (and no, I am not Catholic but I do admire their...

    OCD Thoughts And Anxiety About Going To Hell

    Your insurance should cover them as long as they are licensed. There are therapists of all different faiths. They can't not cover someone because they are Christian (or Jewish or Muslim).

    Christian Democrats?

    I'm definitely NOT looking at the Republican Party as an alternative. I said that I was changing my affiliation to Independent. The things I mentioned (like the possible repeal of the ACA) are true. Yes, Trump signed an executive order saying he would protect those with pre-existing conditions...

    Christian Democrats?

    I am a Christian and a Democrat, although I am planning to change my affiliation to Independent as I am unhappy with both the Democrats and Republicans. But I guess I could ask "how is there such things as Christian Republicans?" when you consider things like their fight to overturn the ACA and...

    OCD Thoughts And Anxiety About Going To Hell

    It's important that you see a therapist that specializes in anxiety and OCD. My therapist recommended Freedom from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder by Jonathan Grayson. It's on Amazon. It's also important to know that the treatment for OCD thoughts is not to attempt to get them out of your head...

    Is forced vaccination related to the mark of the beast?

    I think it's a big jump from having to be vaccinated in order to go to school to having to be vaccinated to buy and sell things.

    Is forced vaccination related to the mark of the beast?

    In the US, no one is going to force you to get a vaccine. Now, they may say you can't send your children to school without a vaccine or you can't do other things without a vaccine (e.g., work in a hospital), but no one is going to hold you down and administer one. The PM (or president, I can't...

    Legalism : Denies The Cross

    The bible says in John 5:24 "I assure you: Anyone who hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life." But if once-saved-always-saved isn't true, then what is one receiving when one believes? The possibility of...

    COVID-19 data to be sent to private contractor instead of CDC, unavailable to public or researchers

    It seems like a bad idea to divert the data from an apolitical agency (the CDC) to a man who's political life depends on cases decreasing. Why wouldn't Trump lie about the data?

    Is it ok, as a married person to befriend a person of the opposite sex in FB and instagram

    I am married and I have a friend on Facebook who is the opposite sex. We have lots of conversations via private messaging, mostly about religion and politics. My husband is fine with it. But we never flirt or say things about each others' appearances. I think that would be inappropriate.
