    Is your life better off now than 4 years ago?

    I would say that I am doing better now - but the political parties then, now and in-between, economics, inflation whatever have had little if anything to do with that. 4 years ago I was 2 months away from separating from the woman I am now happily married to. When you put life into context...

    Is your life better off now than 4 years ago?

    I feel like the answer to this question would depend a heck of a lot more on what I did for the last 4 years than anything anyone else did. I mean, unless someone hit me with a car, I suppose. And I didn't really deserve to be hit with a car.

    Not satisfied with the answers regarding God allowing suffering

    I had that mindset for a while, but it was selfish and harmful to myself and others and caused (surprise surprise) more suffering. Largely because it enabled distance from God, and I think that you will find that distance from God is the root of most suffering. Suffering is not necessarily the...

    Anyone else have a unique eschatology?

    I suppose by Eastern Catholic I meant to be referring to 'those Catholics not in communion with Rome, generally found to the east of it' and by Roman Catholic "those in communion with Rome". Eastern Orthodox is the only side I can speak for/of; I know there have been branches and sub-branches...

    Is it Ever OK to Lie? Is It a Question Involving Priorities?

    I never noticed that before - "bearing false witness against" If you are lying to Nazis to save Jews in your cellar, you are not bearing false witness against them, you are bearing false witness for them.

    Are Any of These Shows Good?

    I enjoyed some of the Gordon Ramsey where he goes in to save a failing restaurant; found those surprisingly inspirational and there was usually a little digging to get into "what happened that it got this way" along with some tough love, truth and encouragement about what was needed to turn it...

    The Fall of the West (It's Happening Now)

    Well I guess it would be a TLM (tiny language model) And no matter what you said it would throw misapplied scripture back at you willy-nilly... I feel like I've encountered some of those before ;)

    Should AI be aligned to the Christian worldview?

    But if someone asks them to pretend to, they will do a job good enough that we may not to be able to tell the difference.

    What is currently on your mind?

    ? How does that work. Is there a fine if you fail to vote? Government stops delivering your mail? Kind of curious now. Here in America we only have compulsory posting, but it is largely self inflicted. On everyone else ;)

    Trump Could Be Doomed If Convicted - A Trial Occur in Time?

    I doubt that 1 in 3 current Trump supporters care whether a court convicts him on anything enough to withdraw their vote/support. Possibly(?) more like 1 in 10, but I doubt it. Maybe 1 in 3 (supporters and detractors) will foam at the mouth a little more, but that's not the same as losing...

    What are you currently listening to?

    Somethin' filled up My heart with nothin' Someone told me not to cry Now that I'm older My heart's colder And I can see that it's a lie Children, wake up Hold your mistake up Before they turn the summer into dust If the children don't grow up Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up...
