    Italian Minister sparks row with "ethnic replacement" warning

    I sort of had no choice. You did accuse me of “name-calling” in my comment - to someone else! I don’t see where I called them anything, but I also am not prepared to sit by when people spread threads about these sort of things - and this particular individual does just that rather frequently...

    Italian Minister sparks row with "ethnic replacement" warning

    For goodness sake. There is absolutely nothing you need to know about Sweden (or any other nation) that would justify them spreading ideas of “ethnic replacement”. Search on the concept of “ethnic replacement” alone, if you’ve not come across its meaning. It goes really well with the use of...

    Italian Minister sparks row with "ethnic replacement" warning

    Do not get me started on them! Lots of our ministers say lots of abhorrent things all the time. Sometimes, they are forced to step down but, lamentably, only to be replaced by someone else with pretty much the same standpoints. They’ve outsourced our asylum policy which frankly, is...

    Italian Minister sparks row with "ethnic replacement" warning

    They are, I’m afraid. The rest of us must pull together and remain rather firm on this matter.

    Italian Minister sparks row with "ethnic replacement" warning

    I’m sorry @Audie, if you wish to defend fascist propaganda and the spreading of harmful conspiracy, then you shall most certainly not have silence coming from me.

    Italian Minister sparks row with "ethnic replacement" warning

    I don’t click on links but title echoes current Swedish fascist propaganda and fascist propaganda in general. You want more babies that look like you where you live? I say, stop moaning and give birth to them yourself.

    Desire and pleasure

    Bless you @Xavier Graham, Speaking only for myself, this issue really does improve with age. One is less lustful for most worldly things as one gets old. I’m sure this is an unneeded remark, but still; the most important bit regarding your predicament is that you always ensure that whomever...

    The Unseen God

    “Contamination” is a stark word. I’d say that if you are secure in your faith, you need not be so fearful of the beliefs held by others. They with a pure heart and enough peace of mind, shall remain upright even while walking through burning fire. Strengthen your relationship with God and you...

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    All I can really say to that is that God -and life in general- indeed works in mysterious ways. I personally was an atheist and certainly not seeking God when God “sought” me; giving me very little option but to welcome a new path of devotion, lived in deep faith. I had not been a good person...

    The Reality of God

    @kadzbiz; I like the simplicity and sincerity in that answer! @Ostronomos, I don’t click on links but I understand your thinking and I agree with the ideas. It’s the language-thing, though. To make sense to others; when you speak with people of faith, you must speak their language. There are...

    Prayer... Why and How?

    Prayer should narrow your focus, broaden your humility, alter your self-perspective and that of the circumstances of your prayer. Humbly, Hermit

    Why Atheists Don’t Really Exist

    Would you say that this is true about the atheists you know? I was raised atheist, in a secular society. We never thought in religious terms. Religion was something that some people “still” did and we didn’t truly understand why, but we also didn’t care. Religious people kept their religions...

    What are your core values in life?

    To live as attentively, selflessly and humbly towards those whom I encounter, as I can. And, when I fail in this; to try and try again.

    Loved ones

    I’d remind us of the commandment: Thou shalt not covet. No matter how heartbreaking it may seem; our loved ones are not and never were “ours”. We pray for the courage, clarity and strength to set our loved ones free from the bonds that hold them back and chain us to their passing. Humbly...

    Losing faith in God

    About the thread’s title @Moon, Do you feel yourself losing faith …or are you concerned that others “are losing” your type of faith …or that you cannot find people who share your exact beliefs? Humbly, Hermit

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    That’s not my take-away from the verse you refer to… To me, it says that if you do things half heartedly and doubt that you should do them at all, perhaps you should not do them? It’s about living attentively and true to your faith but it’s not about “unbelief” in general being a sin, is it...

    “Unbelief” is a sin? That’s an interesting interpretation. Where’d you get that one from? I must have missed it Humbly, Hermit

    Is it Possible the God actually has FOUR parts?

    Dear @vulcanlogician I’m interested. What is it that you have sensed that makes you ask this? Is it something you are able to share? Humbly, Hermit

    Spiritual Evidence and Proofs of God’s Existence

    When someone’s beliefs in general -not limited to the spiritual sort- change, they change [behaviour, priorities/choices, interactions with others, etc.] and that change in them is visible to all who know them. That change is non-subjective “evidence” (to self and others); but of what...
