    What is Happening in Our Schools?

    Whose fault is the behavior of these children you speak of on that bus? Its certainly not the bus driver's nor the children. It is the parents. Parents who sit their children in front of TVs and computers and laptops and tablets and ignore them. And when I speak of parents, I do not mean the...

    Why does it seem that God never intervenes in Human Suffering

    I agree that science has been beyond beneficial but I would also say that believing in God is not delusional, particularly if that belief gives someone dying solace. I cannot tell you how many elders I have had the pleasure of being with when they were close to passing that had that belief and...

    Why does it seem that God never intervenes in Human Suffering

    A couple things here. 1. Thank you for pointing out, in such lovely detail, the truth. I simply cannot believe people still buy into the ridiculous theories that circulated about that day. 2. I love that you taught me something new. I was not familiar with eutecloid temperatures and my...

    What is Happening in Our Schools?

    You think you and your church are the only ones who teach children these values? That is simply ridiculous. I was raised to be polite, to have good manners, to say yes sir and no sir, or ma'am. We were taught that no elder ever goes into a nursing home, something I see Christians doing all...

    Why does it seem that God never intervenes in Human Suffering

    Believe whatever tabloid fodder you want. I am done with this, as I find it pointless and a complete waste of my time.

    Would you marry a gay couple...

    This is only true if you believe that story. And what is more interesting is that your Adam and Eve story is not original at all. Most of the stories in the Bible come from older sources as well. Furthermore, the story was never meant to be taken literally. It is allegorical. If you had...

    Why does it seem that God never intervenes in Human Suffering

    All these things you mention were rumors and nothing more. They were and are the fodder from conspiracy theory people who fall for these things. Much like those that say that all Muslims were told to stay home that day. None of these hold an ounce of water. Controlled explosions? Come on...

    Would you marry a gay couple...

    1. No, I was not JW but rather Christian and I consider JW to be a subset of that group. 2. What assigned roles? Your remarks make me think of 1984 and an Orwellian type of world. No thanks. I have no opinion on whether God is perfect or not as in my faith, God is not a concept that I apply...

    Would you marry a gay couple...

    Do you have proof of these statistics and what country are you speaking of here? I find that 70% is a very unbelievable number considering your assertions here. So can you prove this?

    Hatred of Jews is poisoning Islam

    I see parallels in the growth of Islam as compared to Christianity. 500 years ago, Christians tried, by sword and other terrible means, to convert everyone to the faith as that is what God wanted. This is similar to what Islam is doing now believing that all peoples must convert to that faith...

    Why does it seem that God never intervenes in Human Suffering

    Where is your definitive proof of this involvement? And even if they were involved, what would you have me do about this? I am one person. I have tried to make my voice heard about various topics. I repeatedly write letters to the editor. I asked my state rep why he did not take a stand...

    Why does it seem that God never intervenes in Human Suffering

    What makes you think that Buddhists are perfect? We have our foibles. I try to be kind and getting a kick out of something is not being unkind as it has no impact on the person unless I say something to them which I would never do. I find conspiracy nuts to be just that, but that doesn't mean...

    Hatred of Jews is poisoning Islam

    I agree Akivah. I see Islam as going through the same growing pains as Christianity did 500 years ago. The parallels are there if one wishes to see them. Unfortunately, many read their sacred text and this is not restricted to just Islam or Judaism but to many faiths. One can read a passage...

    Why does it seem that God never intervenes in Human Suffering

    How so? It is an inherent part of your faith that you have this character 'Satan' who tries to trick you into making mistakes, hence leading to suffering. One need only do a cursory study of some of the saints to see how suffering was an integral part of what they endured. St Theresa of...

    Why does it seem that God never intervenes in Human Suffering

    I personally have never bought into any of the idiot theories that revolve around these kinds of things. IMO, I don't understand those that do. The UFO silliness. Whether JFK was shot by our own people. I mean, come on. I have a Time Magazine book downstairs about all these kinds of...

    Would you marry a gay couple...

    The Biblical views on women was one the biggest reasons I left your faith. Did it occur to you that times change and that those precepts set down then are not germane now? Now, that aside, Jesus may or may not have been raised Jewish. Scholarly agreement is that he was. However, because he...

    Would you marry a gay couple...

    No one is playing God here. What we are talking about is the difference between opinion and scholarly knowledge. There is a great deal of controversy over who did write those books. We cannot know with any degree of certainty and certainly whether or not Paul knew Christ has always been...

    Why does it seem that God never intervenes in Human Suffering

    Skeptic, this is the first I have even heard of this silliness. I cannot believe some of the things people will buy into. Its similar to those magazines one finds in grocery stores that are absolute rubbish..like National whatever.

    Why does it seem that God never intervenes in Human Suffering

    Actually, all I said was that I did not blame her for her choice. That has nothing to do with God or blaming God but I am really not all that interested in continuing this as it has no meaning and only serves to add fuel to the fire. I wish you peace. Namaste.
