    Independent here

    I see a Dem thread and a couple of Rep threads but what about us independents? I'm a social liberal and pretty fiscal conservative. I'm pretty sure that I'm not alone in this country in not knowing whom I'm going to vote for in the general election.

    Latest Bin Laden video

    I don't think this video is really of Bin Laden. The bearded fellow doesn't look at all like him. The picture is very grainy, most likely on purpose to blur the image and further confuse the viewers. The voice doesn't sound like him according to experts. The beard is much darker and fake...

    Winace died today

    A very good friend to many of us both atheist and Christian, and member of Christian forums who was very ill with CF has passed. He will be sorely missed by oh so many people, but his beloved Jessica (One For Sorrow) will be missing him the most. Winny as I so affectionately called him was very...

    Why all the secrecy?

    I don't understand why the hearings where the President and Vice President are being questioned about 9/11 are closed, with no cameras or media. Most Americans don't blame them for what happened on 9/11, quite the contrary. But, the secrecy makes them appear as if they have something to hide. I...

    Bringing up Christian kids.

    Well this is something that is near and dear to my heart as the mother of 4 kids being brought up in church. I went to a Christian college, and found that many of the young people that were although adult, had been so protected, they actually were having a delayed adolecence. They finally had...

    I prefer my Bible version over others because: fill in the blank

    I have been a KJV onliest at one time in my Christian walk. It took along time to get away from that line of thinking. I now prefer the NIV for its ease in reading, and sentence structure. I know all the dynamic equivalency arguments against that version, but like it anyway. Most of my memorized...

    Should Christians tithe

    Is tithing taught in the NT, for NT Christians? What exactly is the tithe? Is it really 10% like we are told, or was it a tax to OT Jews that consisted of 23%? Does that mean we should be giving 23%? I have my own opinions on this, but would like to hear what the rest of y'all think. Besides...

    Legalism

    Are you a legalistic Christian? Do you attend a church that is legalistic? Does your Pastor preach on topics like: gambling, drinking (any), tv, tithing ect? What do you think about these things?

    I have been posting on the internet for a few years now, and have learned in this time that there are many difference between American Evangelical Christianity, and that of the rest of the world. Some things as much as denominational distinctions are different in Germany. For example a friend of...
