    ABC News: It’s the 'economy, stupid'. And right now, the Trump economy is blasting off.

    oof. The argument you're trying to make is that Obama's economy is somehow "superior" or "responsible". (and that's obvious) (because I read it) But hey, you know what! I'm totally done here, I'm spent. I "can't" anymore here with this, all of this silliness and rubbish and so forth...

    ABC News: It’s the 'economy, stupid'. And right now, the Trump economy is blasting off.

    Remember that part where I said I would jump off a building if you included post-GFC correction :doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh:

    ABC News: It’s the 'economy, stupid'. And right now, the Trump economy is blasting off.

    Great! This is a wonderful place to start. Now take out your ruler (I know they did this in the olden times), and start at November 4th, 2016, and tell me if the slope of that curve, after correction for inflation, is greater than, less than, or equal to the slope of the curve over the last...

    Ok, buddy. I'm going to say this, and I'm going to say it once. Start here: Financial Dictionary | Investopedia And then come talk to me.

    ABC News: It’s the 'economy, stupid'. And right now, the Trump economy is blasting off.

    That's completely false. Returns from this year began to *SPIKE* on his first day of election, and deltas have been up significantly in ways that are directly attributable to the election itself, both investments and GDP. The "economy" is precisely the measure by which businesses exercise faith...

    What was shameful about Adam and Eve's nakedness?

    Um, I've been to a nude beach before and it is definitely not normal. Even in Africa they put together clothes to cover their bodies. Clothing is like... one of the most basic human inventions. And it's essentially because... well... men and women were designed to be aroused by nudity, and so...

    Hindu/Buddhist and Christian questions

    Reincarnation implies the start of a new physical life. Born again implies the start of a rejuvenated spiritual life in the same physical life. Similar, but very different.

    Is Voodoo a Christian denomination?

    No. It's not Christian. Duh Impostors. Witchcraft. And so forth. Obviously if one's intent is to produce suffering from another, that cannot be in line with God's calling. I wouldn't even bother calling it "Culturally Christian" because it's so beyond bogus. Take a trip down to Jamaica and...

    Hello from a scientist

    Hello Scientist, I am another "scientist" (I have a science degree and a rampant data analysis habit) and it is great to meet you. I am a recovering ex-Christian who was turned away from the church because of the rise of feminists within the church. I consider myself a "rationalist" now, but...

    Gender roles and money

    It's really a matter of realizing what is *actually* wrong. The idea that men are supposed to be the primary breadwinners is accurate. However, our society has gone completely backwards on this and perverted our family structures and also provided a massive supportive foundation for this new...

    Should you give to bums on the street when you know they are using drugs?

    Yes, but only if you are fully aware that they are more than likely going to spend it on drugs or booze. Or beer. Hey, beer's got carbohydrates still.

    Should we allow immigrants into our country?

    The simple answer comes down to a mathematical one, once all variables are taken into account. After all is said and done - weighing out benefit vs. resource, vs. risk of political pressure, war, etc. from being overtaken, it's just math in the end. We can only do so much. We're not Jesus...

    Disability inclusion in church

    My instinct is that if they struggle with any of the above, this is not a church you'd want to be a part of in the first place. Disability inclusion is a function of human nature. We've all been instructed in the proper ways of elementary school and know how to hold hands with our fellow...

    Lol... anybody notice this before?

    Hey, it wasn't so much the ads themselves, but the one specific ad. I was typing up a post and was just like...??? The one ad they have is literally *just* animated bouncing boobs. Just saying... c'mon man!!

    Lol... anybody notice this before?

    Dear Christian Forums, This animated ads are rather distracting. Y'all could at least find some kind of different, non-bouncing ridiculousness to provide money to support the site. We don't ask pastors to be go-go dancers to support the church, could y'all perhaps follow suit? h...

    Hope for you guys :)

    Hey everyone, I just wanted to write this post about my victories with anxiety over the years. I have been able to fully overcome this obstacle in my life through my relationship with God, and I believe it is possible for anyone else to do the same. The Word of the Lord is steadfast, and...

    What does it mean to avoid every appearance of evil?

    My ESV Version has 1 Thessalonians 5:22 as: "Abstain from every form of evil" The study bible section says "Paul now moves on to stress, more generally, the importance of rejecting every form of evil". I have always been one to "flee from sin" and to "purge the evil one from among us"...
