    Trumps task force breifings

    And he continues to be defended and praised by those who worship him. I'll never understand it. He needs to learn to shut the heck up. It's unacceptable that he placed Pence in lead of the task force, but, won't yield to him to update the nation. The idiotic and dangerous things that come...

    Religious people, why do you come to this forum?

    At first, years ago, I think I wanted to share my faith and touch people through it. I thought at the time that I was well grounded in my belief system. I soon realized that I had a lot of growing to do and it became more about sharing, learning and connecting. I was genuinely seeking deeper...

    How to Know if You Are Saved?

    Salvation isn't something that I have to earn. It's a gift that's been extended to me that I can embrace or reject. I've already gone through the process of doubting my faith and have concluded that it's really not complicated. The only peace that I find is in the simplest of truths. Christ...

    Purity Rings, free speech, and your thoughts?

    I think that intentions and impact are important to consider. If someone wears a purity ring and chooses to be chaste without negate impact on their overall well being, I don't think it's my right to object to it. To each their own. Often, purity rings and abstinence oaths do have negate...

    Sex before marriage?????

    Of course, I can't speak to your circumstances and if it's too personal, I'll understand if you don't feel comfortable responding. Have you sought therapy for your addiction? Is limiting your own pleasure part of that? I understand the desire to pursue platonic, non-sexual relationships if...

    What is your issue with Democratic Socialism?

    Support of certain socialist ideals/programs doesn't negate my support of other capitalist ideals/programs. I will always support a free market for commerce. I just don't feel that free market health care is feasible anymore, given the astronomical costs and the fact that people are too often...

    Sex before marriage?????

    My bodily autonomy has always taken precedence over outdated mandates on chastity. Though encouraged to abstain until marriage, I didn't want to. When I was in Sunday school as a teen, I was asked to sign the "Wait for Marriage" pledge. I viewed it as being a pledge to myself, first and...

    What is your issue with Democratic Socialism?

    In the past, I've been close minded to socialism as I viewed socialism, in blanket label terms to be disadvantageous to Middle Class Americans. I was convinced that universal health care would decrease the quality of my family's health care and that free college would excessively tax me at the...

    How might people learn to love with the kind of love that the world needs?

    The world needs love of the understanding & forgiving variety. I've always been of the mindset that to love others & reflect the type of compassion and goodness to serve as a light in this world, we must first understand, love and forgive ourselves.

    Supporting Muslims as members of our communities

    My thoughts are with those suffering within your communities and to those impacted by this tragedy, globally. I've a hunch that you're quite worthy for the council role that you're assuming. It's only through compassion and patience that healing can take place. All my best to you and your...

    "Stop looking at these kids as heroes," says vet who made war documentary.

    I think that the greatest benefit of our military is what we don't see through surveillance and readiness initiatives. Americans who aren't impacted directly by natural disasters, as an example, don't realize how vulnerable and even violent people can become in times of crisis. When...

    "Stop looking at these kids as heroes," says vet who made war documentary.

    I think it would be an interesting watch for a perspective on experiences that I'll never have. I have reverence for the sacrifices that members of the armed services (and reserves) and their families make. I don't apply "hero" loosely to those serving in the armed forces. Not every...

    The Oldest Profession In The World: Yea Or Nay

    In general, I'm not concerned about what consenting adults do with other consenting adults. The elimination of concern for safety or other harmful impact is additional incentive to be "for" the freedom to do business/exchange services.

    "Fake News" in Today's Political Climate

    So, I watched this: I don't buy the spiel that "liberal" media is "fake" media (in definitive terms) when implicating that President Trump has done or said something stupid, morally questionable and/or divisive. I've always recognized bias in the media, particularly when it comes to...

    Who Are the More Reasonable RFers?

    I'm reasonable in the sense that I'm receptive to considering different viewpoints and do not object to change, correction and even defeat. I try to approach people with compassion and understanding. @Father Heathen strives to do the same, though, he can be a turd (at home too). :)

    Is Christmas shallow?

    I am a holiday scrooge. I personally find it to be a waste of money and I'm aggravated by the Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas conundrum in stores this time of year. It's become so commercialized, it's just not enjoyable to me. I don't feel like it's necessarily shallow. It's not my place to...
