    On the Problems with the 2 Main Political Parties in America

    https://www.npr.org/2024/06/07/1198912549/joe-biden-donald-trump-election-voters Both of the political parties have been deaf, to the objections of party members to having a choice between an old political animal, and an old court jester without a conscience who wants to be a tyrant. The...

    Good Reasons to Trust a Courtroom, Over a Scientific Laboratory

    I think that your objection, does not take into account that part of the fair rule of law in America, explicitly addresses bias due to race, sex, age, and other factors. If a defendant thinks that he has not been handled justly, he can appeal the decision of the court. The article that I...

    The Republican Embracing of a Felon, is a Disaster

    The Republican choice for a presidential candidate convicted of felonies, is having its effect. To continue down this path, means that the Republican Party will have to start asserting that the fair rule of law in America, is something that can be discarded, whenever they wish. Continuing to...

    Republicans Need to DITCH tTheir Conspiracy Theories

    The Republicans need to DITCH their conspiracy theories. There is no evidence to support them. https://www.yahoo.com/news/ag-garland-testimony-does-fresh-123728615.html This attraction to EXPLANATIONS that seem to explain an event, but do not carefully examine the evidence, is something that...

    Perfect metaphor for maga movement

    What does a bus crash, have to do with the rightness or wrongness of Donald Trump? Trying to make a bus crash into a prophetic sign, is for a prophet of God to do. Christians should not be involved in this sort of speculation. Along a much more serious line -- the prosecution in Trump's...

    Wrong Info given by Trump, After his Guilty Verdict

    As is his habit, Trump re-creates events and situations in which he is shown to be deficient. After he was convicted of felonies in his hush money trial, Trump came out with a list of wrong information, trying to spin the trial, and place blame for the fraud on other people than himself...

    Trump found guilty on all 34 counts

    The curious thing about many Trump followers, is that they seem to think that if they vote him into the presidency again, then THAT will prove that he was innocent of the criminal felony charges. This is a flawed argument. Regardless of how many Americans vote that someone is guilty or...

    Trump Found Guilty

    A jury in New York City has found Donald Trump guilty in all 34 felony charges, of lying about campaign money. American Evangelicals, and Fundamentalists, seriously need to consider finding a different candidate for president, in the Fall election. As I have said before, the Republican Party...

    JK Rowling calls 'crossdressing' men 'one of the most pandered-to demographics in existence'

    Again, what does this article have to do with Christianity? Rowlings does not speak for the Christian Church.

    How can Christians graciously & compassionately argue against homosexuality, adultery, perversion, sexual assualt, rape, abortion alcohol and/or drug

    You are asking a good question. But your "demonstration", includes a lot of Christian assumptions. You need to be explicit in listing your assumptions. ---------- ---------- For example, your biblical passages describe homosexual behavior, and that it is condemned in the Jewish-Christian...

    Billy Graham statue scheduled to be unveiled at US Capitol next week: 'Great honor'

    It's hard to evaluate putting this statue, there, from a Christian point of view. The integrity of Billy Graham seems to be beyond question. And I have no problem with that. I would say the same about Fr. Boyle, who founded Homeboy Industries, which has brought thousands of gang members out of...

    Podcaster's claim that women who get abortions 'should be killed' sparks intense debate

    I would rather follow the example of the Church in the early centuries. Murderers would not be allowed to take Communion for 10 years. Women who had abortions would not be allowed to take Communion for 9 years. So, the early Church places abortion very near to the place of murdering a...

    Campus Demonstrations, and Hamas and Gaza

    (One of my concerns with this topic, is that the younger generations of American Christians, cannot explain why Christians should react any differently than demonstrators on college campuses. You can claim that the recent college demonstrates were not Christians (I think that some are), but...

    Perry Noble says 'we wouldn't even know' Jesus is alive if not for women preachers

    There is a trend among feminists, to point to every word in the Bible indicating being a witness, or announcing something, as being support for women being evangelists, etc. But given the common biblical language of this language of witnessing and reporting, this is like saying that the...

    Hey, maybe if the meteorological societies named the hurricanes Matthew, Mark, Luke and John... then the insurance companies would stay in Florida???? I don't think so. A lot of Florida retirement homes are no more than 12 feet above sea level. And those who bought them or built them, didn't...

    Why the 'Nones' Are No Longer Growing and What it Means for Christianity

    (There is a trend in established Christian groups, to reject historical doctrine. The recent Methodist split is an example. And by rejection, I include such radical re-interpretation as to be incompatible with the early historical creeds of the united Church. I would say, that including this...

    How do you explain the existence of evil, despite God being almighty, and all knowing, and perfect love?

    (I find so many of the comments on this topic, are the projections of personal value systems upon God. Also, there is a common theme of assuming that a righteous life, should not include struggle or discipline or training. I think that these objections tend to be very parochial, and American...

    How true are these words about the Evangelical Churches?

    I'm not sure what to do with your truisms. You don't address the branches of the Church that did not engage in the Protestant Reformation. You don't address the Lutherans, many of whom hold to a high church theology that is very similar to Catholic theology. Among younger American...
