I had somehow avoided contracting it all these years but now I have it and it's really bad. Please pray for me and everyone else suffering from it.

I should have admitted this long ago, but these forums simply aren't healthy for my mental well-being. Every single time I post here, I end up leaving in a worse mood than when I arrived. It's mainly because there is so much anger, confrontation, and intolerance among the posters here...

New island discovered south of Tokyo after submarine volcano erupts

I see this a lot online nowadays, and I feel that I need to speak up about it. What I mean by 'drive-by evangelism' is when someone makes an off-topic comment somewhere online, asking people to come to Jesus, maybe citing a few Bible verses, and then leaving, never to be seen again. You see...

I wrote this due to being so frustrated with certain current events. Hopefully you'll be able to see what I'm getting at here:

Trump-inspired death threats are terrorizing election workers Full article available in the link.

What are the moral arguments against and for countries building and maintaining nuclear arsenals in this day and age? Is disarmament feasible, or even desirable?

Can we please retire this term? It's just a way of insulting anyone who criticizes or disapproves of the current president, which is usually going to be roughly half of the country, regardless of who the president actually is. People have been using it for decades at least, and it's not any more...

Say that Trump is again in the primaries for the GOP nomination in 2024. Would you vote for him by default, or would you consider voting for another Republican?

I just want to see which views are most prevalent here.

I saw this mentioned recently and I have definitely heard of this idea before, so I figured I might as well make a thread on it. The way the story goes is that scientists (presumably paleontologists) have discovered many examples of fossil remains of giant humanoids, which are presumably the...

Often you hear this argument: Pro-choicers: Women should have the right to control their own bodies and not be forced to carry a pregnancy to term, so abortion should be legal. Pro-lifers: Who cares about your rights? It's more important to protect the lives of the unborn, so the government...

Read the rest here: The stunning hypocrisy of the Trump family’s attacks on Hunter Biden

I've noticed a lot of people do this. They don't care if the arguments they make are true or not, as long as they reach conclusions that they like. Then they refuse to admit these arguments are bad, because they falsely think that will mean admitting their conclusions are wrong. Some examples...

I don't mean to offend anyone here, but it occurs to me that when certain people say that they can't believe in God without also believing things like: - The earth is flat - The sun revolves around the earth - The earth is 6000 years old - There was a literal global flood etc. it seems to...

I wish evolution wasn't true, because then the COVID-19 virus would never have evolved.

I dreamed last night that I was exploring an ancient tomb in the Middle East, and as I went deeper I found pictograms and heiroglyphs describing Noah and the flood. I was very excited because this was obviously a major archaeological find, but I eventually came to what appeared to be an exit to...

I haven't been around here much lately, because I have had a very bad and painful ear infection. I am taking medication but it is still very difficult, so please pray for me.

This is an exercise to help break down blind tribalism. I'll start: Joe Biden is a creep. There are multiple accusations of sexual harassment against him, historically he has been in favor of some questionable policies and against some good ones.

This practice is legal in most places in the world (including all but 2 US states). Children as young as 10 have been forced into sexual relationships with adults. Why is this allowed?
