    Socialism will send America into a season of wealth.

    Any self proclaimed socialist needs to read the accounts of those who lived under such systems. The actual common people's accounts, not a politician. Socialism cannot be divorced from communism. Our brothers and sisters are persecuted under such systems. I've read the accounts of some of the...

    6 year old arrested at school

    This was a very inappropriate response, and there's not enough context to know how bad the child was behaving. In the video she wasn't acting wild. She was calm in the principal's office when asking what the zip-ties were. The arrest shouldn't have been necessary. This little girl will grow up...

    Thank you. Thankfully, I am not very involved with the music department, so I did not receive any ill comments. The rest who are actual music majors have had worse directed at them, but thankfully the controversy has died down, although the vague feeling of dissatisfaction and uneasiness...

    Church of England apologizes for saying sex only for heterosexual married couples

    The reason for my question is that your post on people in same sex unions should have the right to adopt has a logical premise behind it. Your reasoning (I presume) would be that it should not be considered any different from opposite sex couples, and it is no different because both would be two...

    Every girl is different. However, I've noticed an increase in young christian men and women who are marrying in their early twenties. I can think of 13 people I know who married at 18-23 in the last couple of years. I can personally say if I was dating the right man and knew he wanted to marry...

    Should we be more strict with gluttony?

    There's more to gluttony then just food or getting fat. Americans in general take way more than we need. We want the biggest trucks to look cool, we want half a dozen different entertainment systems to keep ourselves satisfied, we buy clothes that we don't even need, and we have excess food we...

    The links for my evidence are in bright blue if you're having trouble seeing them. We're coming from two radically different underlying worldviews and I simply am not sure how to find common ground with you. Let me ask you this: in your view, how is "gender" defined?

    Dealing with Christian Persecution that is Secretive and Psychological Torture using Mind Games

    Do you have family you can talk to? My dad experienced something similar. One day he just started believing that my mom was cheating on him. He had no evidence for it, he just kept watching her closely and assumed every action was because of his previously arrived at conclusion. For example...
