So even though this seems like a pretty pointless conversation... Do you have more accurate stats to present? I'm willing to listen to just about anyone... but you just shot down multiple sources without saying why. No one here has contested that point. The fact that they came across the...

So... it isn't entirely reflected in the post above, but many times now (in numerous threads) you have gone on rants like this against illegal immigrants. When you try (without any evidence or justification) to classify an entire group of people as rapists and criminals, that is hateful; and...

Yeah - I think we're in agreement. Perhaps the misunderstanding is coming with my usage of the word "worldly" or "of this world"? That was the word that I originally used (in the first post that you quoted), but I see that I used the word "earthly" in my last post, which was my mistake. So...

I am certainly in agreement with your last 2 sentences. But I still think you are conflating earthly kingdoms with the kingdom of God. There is nothing in those verses that instructs Christians to take dominion over all spheres of life. Jesus resisted using his power for worldly gain, and...

I enjoy most home improvement tasks, but caulking has always been something I despise. Today I may have found a runner up... hanging lattice. Using the vinyl lattice definitely made it much more painless. Not to mention, it looks a lot better. And it was a decent day to be outside...

If I had to rank favorite songs of all time, this would definitely be in my top 3 (if not number 1). Sadly... it reminds me of the challenges in my youth (family stuff, and other things). But I don't think it's centered around feeling sorry for yourself (but maybe a bit). More so around the...

Ah, I see. That makes a lot of sense.... and is very strategic. I like it! :cool: One could even say its... biblical? (Different members, one body). I've actually done sort of the same thing with laundry. My white shirts have a tendency to come back... not white. So after mentioning it...

Yeah, I dunno. There are little habitual things my wife does that I get irritated about - and if it's something that is largely inconsequential, then I try to approach it as you have suggested. But if there are things like one of the posters mentioned - where your SO doesn't hang laundry...

My wife does a lot of household stuff... even little things that I wouldn't expect. When the food items that I use on a day to day basis are running low in the cupboard upstairs, she'll bring more up from the basement before they run out. And she puts the kids to bed most nights these days -...

3 years. I'm grateful for the gap... lol.

Fair enough. Neither Jesus nor His apostles held politics or gaining political power as their highest priority though (from the scriptures, it didn't even seem to rank in their top 10). Yet that is not what we are seeing in American Christianity. What we are seeing now is religion that is...

And the latest addition. She's over 5 months old now.

Wow... I missed a big part of this thread after starting it. Cute family, cool bike, and cool cats. :cool: It's crazy how fast time goes by. Here's a more recent photo of my son - getting ready to go play in the snow a few months ago.

This type of oversimplified, cliched one-liner has no place in an intelligent political discussion. If we applied that type of reasoning to every weapon, then hand grenades and rocket launchers should also be legal. Unfortunately, there are significant portions of the left and the right who...

As the poster above stated (and as I mentioned in my post) - fornication does not always result in having a child. Just like owning a gun doesn't always result in someone using it to kill another human being. The problem here is that it is not Christ who is governing. In the situation which...

By that reasoning, guns should be completely outlawed as well - because you could shoot someone and kill them. A child/pregnancy is not a necessary outcome of fornication (just like it's not a necessary outcome of sex within marriage, either).
