    Cops Must Have Immunity Removed

    Cops so frequently violate others and their rights, and frequently kill over having anything enforced or over what was thought to be needing to be enforced. There is a long history of this and links to some cases of it I still have saved, and cops even like that don't face consequences that they...

    Karma and the Mandate of Heaven

    We really can't be without beliefs. There are beliefs without proof we live by, because we have to, believing something one way or another. Beliefs we live by may be from tradition, which is more reliable than what we come up with our own thinking, but this is not at all foolproof. It would be...

    Karma and the Mandate of Heaven

    I know that there is justice that comes, and that is a good enough word for what it will be.

    Is it Reasonable to believe God is Transgender?

    Being transgender is having a change to what one was, as a human being. God is not a physical being anyway, and the essence of God never changes and is without any change. I see it is knowable that God is the essential being, which causes all else coming into existence, and being essential...

    Should the government create a law that requires Congress to balance the budget?

    We lost, or more specifically our ancestors did, a huge amount of knowledge to survive well with, including about herbal medicines. This is what they and all of us were led to with civilization which we become very dependent on. Civilization really owes us for what we are deprived from. So, I am...

    Taken me a lifetime to believe as I do and I still have questions

    There is something to this. There are those who say they follow Jesus, but they don't. They have the claim of being saved in Jesus name, and maybe prayed at some time, for the basis they see, but there is no spiritually meaningful change in their life. They have some beliefs about Jesus, but...

    Who is God?

    God is supreme being, as the word means that. The necessary existence brought about the universe and all in it, and any further realm, though that does not mean there are other universes, as the creation that can be understood as coming into being from the Creator, and this is what God would be...

    Lab-grown meat -- how will that affect you personally?

    I know there are people who would have it. It will not affect me at all. I have many reasons to just eat foods from plants and I seek to have all whole foods from plants. I am not going to have what is grown in a lab just to have meat, which would be ignoring the reasons I have.

    Should the government create a law that requires Congress to balance the budget?

    Our whole way of living in this world with civilization is really unsustainable. We should move out from cities of civilization with any others doing this to live on land in simplicity growing what things we can for what is needed, being in really small communities. Government structures can be...

    If Heaven Exists

    I am quite sure the way it should be is even what is better, the way that was modeled from the design in the beginning that is shown, but that as shown we are fallen from. I don't know what a Christian evolutionist understands of that. My understanding is a restoration from God is needed, which...

    Raised

    Jesus has risen. No one answers how the tomb his body was lain in was empty days after the crucifixion. If it was not empty the claim that he had risen would have been disproved, many were around wanting to do that. That there were witnesses saying they had seen him risen appearing to them, who...

    If Heaven Exists

    We ought to be doing things for betterment. How much we can do that will vary greatly between separate individuals. But any betterment, even all the very best for the whole world, will not make heaven from that happening. This is a world the way it is from our fall and continuing wrong things...

    Poll: Which Parts of Religion Do You Focus On the Most?

    I learned Forks Over Knives is the healthiest way for us, which can have us avoid many real problems to health. I am fine continuing with almost all whole-food all from just plants. We have ideas that those which are really persons have rights, for example. Most exclude other creatures from...

    Poll: Which Parts of Religion Do You Focus On the Most?

    It is an important part of why I have given up on getting things from animals, knowing animals used in the agricultural industry are just as vulnerable and sentient. Avoiding harm with love and compassion includes this for me, it is fully compatible with the beliefs of my faith for coming to...

    Plant Sentience

    I will go along with the position that if there is no nervous system and brain in an organism, that organism would not have sentient consciousness. Organisms in general can have responses to any of many sorts of stimulation, and organisms are all quite complicated in structure. But while it is...

    Needless Disrespect for a President - Biden, Trump or otherwise

    Have you seen it ever that people lived without political leaders? It has not existed that way, but it must be worse that way, right? Maybe you can't organize. How can you know that others can't? There might be leaders but that does not have to involve political government to work. If people...

    I Need Help!

    There is answer which many of us would look for to where did everything here come from. There is widespread understanding that there are right things to do with each other, and wrong things. It would be most reasonable that God who created us has the goodness for distinguishing what is right...

    Poll: Which Parts of Religion Do You Focus On the Most?

    Finding God's will to turn to for godliness would be without harm to others with love and compassion, it would not exclude creatures from that, and animal abuse would not be desirable.

    I Need Help!

    There are evidences that influence our faith, while something beyond influences it. None is proof, you cannot give what proves your faith is right to another. They can only have their own faith, that is not from what you have your faith from.
