Yes, we should treat it more seriously. We don't treat it seriously enough. No, we can't police and ration food. But we can talk about unhealthy eating in more serious terms. We can speak out for what it is--destroying the body. People are afraid of speaking out because they don't want to...

I love sci-fi, but it feels lacking. I love imaginary worlds. I love places that I'd never see in real life. Technology I'd never see in my life time. But something still seems to be lacking. Maybe it's that sci-fi has lost a sense of wonder. A sense of the divine. A sense of something...

I never really thought of those games as a sin to play. They are fictional, after all. Sure, they aren't Christian in nature, but it is fiction. After all, I'm a big Megami Tensei fan. I'm sure many people could see the contradiction between that and being a Christian.

They have the right to make their characters however they want. We have the right to not like those characters. We have the right to even hate them. We have the right to make fun of them viciously. (I draw the line at actually harassing the writers/actors behind the characters. It's...

Repentance is not about dwelling in guilt. The godly "guilt" isn't supposed to make us spiral into self-pity and moan about what wretches we are and how horrible we are. It's supposed to spring us into action to change what we are doing. Repentance isn't about self-pity and feeling down on...

I could respond to this as a theological question, but my heart hurts for you as I read these words. I sense you are very sad and bitter towards humans. I can relate to a lot of the same feelings as I've been let down a lot. But, I'll answer. I would very much like to think that is not so...

I don't know your situation, but is this one of not being able to forgive someone, or is this about someone who keeps wronging you again and again? Normally, when someone wrongs you, you're going to feel angry, and that's fine. It's how you handle it that's important. Lying to yourself and...

You should seek help and counseling. One thing I can leave for you is to ask yourself why you look at it. Be honest with yourself and give an honest answer (you don't have to share it here). There's no judgment. Are you looking to escape some negative feelings? Are you trying to avoid...

If you read the verse before, Paul says this is his own personal opinion and he received no direct command from the lord: I don't see anything about re-marriage here. Paul's just saying if you're married, don't look for a divorce (which is a sin), but if you're single, don't look for a wife...

A lot of the conservative states eat a lot of fatty fried foods. If they're less resistant to change, they're less apt to give those foods up when people say they're bad. The other thing is the lack of economic opportunity--if making a living there is harder, they're less likely to have health...

He definitely thinks he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Sadly, this is how Trump operates. He operates on shock value to stay talked about. He intentionally says stuff that will shock people because he knows it will generate headlines. That's how he got a lot of free airtime during his 2016 campaign.

Space is an issue. When you run out of land, the only thing you can do is build up. Our government has been slow to respond to this, and they could do things like loosen zoning requirements. That, or create incentives to not have jobs centered in one area. The thing about companies being...

That's how I feel too. I used to be all up in arms about people potentially abusing the welfare system, but it's minor compared to wealthy people being given subsidies--people who have the means to provide their way, but choose not to. I'm more bothered about the idea of wealthy people getting...

It's not that simple. Those 25,000 jobs wouldn't have gone to the people living in that area of Queens. They likely would've gone to people from outside who have the credentials and connections to get in. Those people would be making a much higher salary than the current residents, and the...

When the church just wants to mirror the culture, what's the point in going? Why get up on Sunday morning just to see a culture that you already see every other day of the week? Sure, not being challenged and the idea of being "welcoming" are nice, but lets be honest, it's not very engaging...

Here we are spending all this time debating whether poor people should receive food assistance. But where's the controversy over all the handouts to billionaires? I'm a lot more concerned about our governments throwing money at billionaires at taxpayers expenses. I'm a lot more concerned...

I'm more mature than she was. Yes, we all have weaknesses and no one is perfect, but there's still a baseline level of maturity I expect from people. I didn't watch her fall in to the trap. She hid this from me in the beginning. It wasn't until later on that I found out she was in a...

My biggest deal breaker is immaturity. I've lost interest in someone I dated when I found out she was immature. She got herself into debt, took no responsibility for it, and blamed someone else. She showed no interest in doing anything to get her spending under control. She didn't handle...

I can relate to your feeling, but after having been in relationships, I've learned that they aren't what I was making them out to be. When you're single, it's easy to daydream about this perfect person. The perfect conversations. Meeting like it is in the movie. Reality is not like this...
