I have read the Bible about 12 times cover-to-cover. I lost track. After that many times, I think you do need to find ways to apply it rather than reading it along the same schedule. So, I would be part of the 9% I guess. I think the point of the pie chart was that being part of the 9% is...

Should we support a communist dictatorship? Of course not. Communism is a virus infecting the beautiful history and culture of China. May communism become something the future generations in China only learn about in history books.

Let's start with this verse because everything concerning the law will be built on understanding how Jesus fulfilled this law. "Leviticus 21:11 - He must not enter a place where there is a dead body. He must not make himself unclean, even for his father or mother. So, priests weren't allowed...

Bless you, for your honesty. I think God is moving in the lives of many people who feel the same way that you do and I am grateful to see it. I would imagine that it will become easier and easier to find a church who would support your pursuit of Christ to answer your spiritual questions...

I have seen what you are talking about and I think people are just manipulating the system when they do this so it is even harder to prove fraud. A lot of people are unmarried who have children and I think both parties can apply for benefits individually; or more than one person in a house gets...

I think we need to accept that welfare is never going to become a great system and stop depending on welfare as a form of charitable contribution from the perspective of the church. The church should be leaders and not followers in regard to charitable contributions. Essentially, the church is...

We have really lost all connection to growing our food and have become terribly dependent on others to do things for us. Have you ever had a garden? You do realize that harvesting from a garden produces more food than you might need right? Do you not have friends who have their own gardens...

Just something to think about, but the Bible says that the famine is how the people became slaves to Pharoah in the Bible. ""Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we and our land will be slaves to Pharaoh. So give us seed, that we may live...

It is exactly what the WIC program does in several states already. They give you vouchers for specific food items. I used to be on WIC. You get a separate voucher for cheese, eggs, cereal, juice and each item has to be processed separately, which means that you spend like 20 minutes at the...

I actually do know some of them do, that is why I was bringing up the question. I have a friend who does her own gardening. Are you suggesting that it is not a good question to ask in regard to a discussion like this? Welfare is a crappy system that gives a crappy quality of life to all...

You know what I don’t understand is how we have always had the right to bear arms, but we haven’t always had mass school shootings. It just doesn’t seem like the right to bear arms is the problem. Something else is wrong.

That is fascinating that this is part of the program. Thank you for sharing it. This would be a better solution overall in my opinion. I think larger families who receive welfare would benefit from something like this more than some of the single people with disabilities or other reasons to...

Question: if fruits and vegetables are not included in welfare benefits, why don't more welfare recipients start growing gardens? It would seem like a better alternative than using food stamps to buy fruits and vegetables from dollar stores or other discount markets. If the concern is eating...

With all due respect, that’s not how many these systems work or the point I was trying to make. Everything isn’t relative to the business owner whose may have few interactions with a technician. Although, I should have expanded on the definition of a technician. When I said a technician is...

I don't think you need to blame yourself for this or believe it is a consequence to not always having time to go to mass. However, it is understandable that you might feel you could be more spiritually prepared for this. We could always seek to be more spiritually prepared to give an answer (1...

"The pharmaceutical industry in the United Kingdom directly employs around 73,000 people and in 2007 contributed £8.4 billion to the UK's GDP and invested a total of £3.9 billion in research and development.[1][2] In 2007 exports of pharmaceutical products from the UK totalled £14.6 billion...

I'm not sure you really responded to what I was saying. In a sarcastic manner, you assumed that I was vested at all by comparison in the two systems. I actually have worked in healthcare in the US for almost 20 years. I could say the same thing about the presentation of the US healthcare...

Right, but what you are suggesting is that an automated process can function independently and it can't. Every automated process creates a job in maintaining the functionality of the automated process so that the business owner may not need a secretary anymore, but they will need a technician...

See, the problem with what you are saying is that if you go to another country that has universal healthcare, they still use the same pharmaceuticals. I am not aware of whether the UK uses something other than chemotherapy to treat cancer, but I am assuming that they are not making advancements...

I have had very positive experiences with Christian colleges online. They have been the most challenging for me and I would recommend trying one if you are able to do this.
