    why dont you go to church

    I think people who don't go to church should attempt at going at least twice a month (two Sundays). I love the church I go to and the people there because it's small. However, I avoid going often or do any volunteer work. At least for the holidays, you should try to go. The longer you avoid...

    Thoughts on faith or works based salvation?

    I believe that the Protestant Reformation movement was one of the most important in history. It allowed women and minorities to start leading churches which further advanced human rights for Western Civilization. Protestants, and other similar denominations, believe that one can be saved without...

    Joe Biden wants only "Happy News" about him

    I get what OP is saying, as well as iluvatar5150. I'm sure Biden would be upset at the press if they said anything negative about him, but the article was adhering to him regarding negative news, in general principle. As far as the mistreatment that Biden is facing goes, I'm not condoning the...

    The Importance Of Conservatism

    The Importance Of Conservatism Being a Christian and seeing the state of America today makes a convincing point for me that our two-party political system may be broken. Economic optimism for most Americans is at a record low (United States IBD/TIPP Economic Optimism Index, 2023). Compare...

    Confused by women and the feminism movement

    I'm going to try to write a fair post here, in an attempt to represent both sides: The feminist movement was an important one in history that helped the public's recognition of women's rights, like the right to vote or hold public office. Worldwide, I think feminism is still an important...

    Suggestions for a new bank

    I'm currently banking with Truist here in Florida and I love them! It's a regional bank. I used to bank with Chase but I no longer feel comfortable with corporate banks. Credit unions are good as well.

    Finding a church?

    I'm still trying to find a church/tribe I can belong to. I don't think that you're ever going to find the perfect one. Currently, I'm an active member of a catholic church here in Belle Glade, FL. I love the people. It's a small city and not many people go to this church, but I know almost...

    Wow. These were very well written blog posts by ProDPinNC. Thanks for sharing! I'm pro-capital punishment, but I respect both sides and their opinions. I have nothing further to say.

    Free Will, Predeterminism, and Predestination

    Hmmm... I believe that both options can be true at the same time: that God sits in a plane where things can be predestined/predetermined according to him and that multiple possibilities can exist independent of him. It's kind of like the trinity, where Jesus can be the holy spirit, God, and yet...
