    Barack Obama suggests men need gay friends to learn 'empathy and kindness'

    Dear Americans please pause and think: is this the country you were born in? Would former president Eisenhower suggest anything like this? Your country is in a downward spiral straight out of the first chapter of Romans.

    EU's anti-Christian report is sign of slide into 'godlessness,' politician warns

    @Trophy: the report itself costs €25. Pay it, publish it and maybe Michie can answer your question? Btw, don't limit yourself to the Nicene Creed. Christianity's position on "reproductive rights" - which the report strenuously defends - is pretty much monolithic.

    The Start of WWIII

    The biggest threat to world peace is US-led NATO's post-1991 desire for world domination and Bush snr's New World Order. Trump has clearly taken a half-step back from his predecessors' policies whilst Putin is actively fighting against it.

    US revokes terror label for Syria’s HTS after it toppled Assad; Christian group decries 'injustice'

    While Iraq was under Baath rule, the terrorists were nowhere to be found there, the Christian community flourished and even the foreign minister was a Christian. While Bashar Assad ruled Syria, the Christian community flourished and - again - the terrorists were absent. After 1991, the US...

    US revokes terror label for Syria’s HTS after it toppled Assad; Christian group decries 'injustice'

    I don't see how. After what happened in Iraq, following the toppling of Saddam Hussein, I am hoping US Christians will at last realise that the instability created in the Middle East has not helped the Christian minorty there in the least bit.

    Pray for my dog.

    I lost two dogs in the past five years and understand your pain. My pain is complicated by the fact that my son doesn't want another dog. If you have no such problem, my advice to you is adopt another dog and give him a home where he'll be loved and he'll help ease your pain.

    I would recommend avoiding churches whose pastors are their founders.

    Pray for People Battling Cancer (3)

    Please pray for my friend Jason. I hadn't seen him in weeks, at one of the best Chinese takeaways in our town, and yesterday he was finally there - much thinner than before. I was shocked to hear he is battling cancer.

    Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani defeats Andrew Cuomo, wins NYC mayoral primary

    It's been a long time since I've lived there but, back in the day, if the winner of the primary didn't get 50% of the vote, there was a runoff. Has that changed?

    World reacts to U.S. strikes on Iran with alarm, caution — and some praise

    I hate to say it but... you're right. He should've concentrated on domestic policy and, maybe, leaned a bit harder on Zelenskiy to end the Ukraine war. Instead, he went back on Musk's attempt to trim the budget and dilly-dallied on Ukraine. Hitting Iran's nuclear facilities was a very big gamble...

    8 Israelis killed, some 100 wounded as death toll climbs to 24 after latest Iranian missile assaults

    I, for one, for this reason and others, question Netanyahu's wisdom of launching an attack against Iran whilst negotiations were taking place and whilst Israel's popularity in the world is at an all-time low.

    Christian share of global population shrinks despite remaining largest religious group: study

    Of that number, how many are true born-again believers who put Jesus first in their lives? There are too many nominal "Christians" in this world.

    John Fetterman Rips Fellow Democrats For Not Condemning LA Riots

    Sorry but Vambram is right. In the mid-1960s we had Watts and Detroit riots put down by force. In 1968 we had MI governor Romney pretty much give a shoot-to-kill order in the riots that followed MLK's death.
