    He is the worst pick on a hefty list of bad Trump picks.

    Trump appointment of Kash Patel to FBI director fuels speculation about bureau’s future

    For a group who claims to be super patriots, MAGA sure hates their own government. The irony of it all.

    The Problem of Protestant Anti-Catholicism

    My rule of thumb - if you want to know about what Catholics beiieve, ask a Catholic.

    GMC General Conference 2024

    They are, but they don't have the same rights as the Russian Orthodox Church, if I am correct. The ROC has been reduced to being a mouthpiece for Count Vlad, so any real Christianity is surely under scrutiny. I'm not accusing the whole Eastern Orthodox community of being Putin's puppet - it's...

    I don't think I can carry on at my church with integrity

    And some people believe the reverse - that we must preach sin, salvation, and the Kingdom of God (which would should), but we should do as Jesus did as well - embracing the castaways of society. Social justice, if you will. Only in America do you have to pick one or the other. Sad.

    I don't think I can carry on at my church with integrity

    Going back to its roots - baloney! The UMC is a shell of its former self.

    What are your thoughts on Trump: 2016 versus today? Poll

    He's only ahead because he's running against a corpse who is presiding over Carter era-like economic numbers, and he's still only barely ahead because he too is in bad shape. If the Dems pull a fast one at the Convention and replace Biden with a Gen X-er, then Trump may as well just stay at...

    What are your thoughts on Trump: 2016 versus today? Poll

    Didn't like him in the 1980s and I still don't like him.

    Pastor John MacArthur says there is no such thing as mental illness, calls PTSD ‘grief’

    Don't see the word "doctor" in front of his name. He needs to stay in his lane.

    I have found that anti-Trump people never give an example to show how awful he is

    1) He incited a riot in our Capitol, leading to the injuries and deaths of some police officers. That should be enough, but there's more. 2) He cheated on his wife with a porn star while she was pregnant. 3) He labeled an entire ethnic group of people "murderers and rapists." 4) He stiffs people...

    If you are leaving the UMC, be blessed, but just go

    Does it really matter if you keep hearing it? You have thumbed your nose at the Book of Discipline and did your own thing, but in a way I can't blame you because this milquetoast denomination will not do a darn thing about it. It keeps kicking the can, this time to 2024, and pretends to have...

    Russia preparing imminent incursion into Ukraine?

    In that case, I think the United States should stop a potential invasion from Communist countries by seizing control of Cuba and Venezuela. After all, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. :)

    Where will conservatives go if they leave the UMC in a few years?

    I did not vote in this poll yet. I would tend to lean toward the CotN, but I am not sure how rigid they are against some things, particularly dancing. My daughter is into hip hop and jazz and is actually very good in it. If the CotN is still rigid against this, I would have to say no to them...

    Hell.....

    Your "redefinition" of Hell is actually what the Orthodox Churches have always believed, if I'm not mistaken.

    Anybody know of any "Damascus Road" conversion stories....

    ...that have happened to people who previously persecuted Christians? They are a little hard to find on the web, and I have wondered if some were authentic. If you have any to share with me, let me know. Thanks, and God bless!
