    California To Ban Small Gas Engines

    Sounds like a good start to transformative policy. They've also thought to include funds / assistance for helping businesses transition - so even better.

    Art or Censorship

    I think it's just another way of framing the piece, I think the idea of it being 'face-to-face' with the viewer when they arrive at the exhibit is interesting as opposed to having to gaze upwards. There was a comment in the article about parts of the exhibit being separated though? What I...

    God and Fatherland

    Conflict over resources is less justifiable than say conflict to intervene in and prevent genocide; in my interpretation. States are one thing; but nationalism is another. One can exist without the other, my main point was that nationalism in of itself is not particularly compatible with a...

    God and Fatherland

    That conflict is unavoidable on a human-run Earth. We can do our best to emphasize diplomacy and kindness but in the current state of the world there's always going to be conflict.

    God and Fatherland

    Poorly I imagine since in this scenario he's breaking an oath, and betraying others for monetary gain. But this is still a form of favoritism as well; disfavoring the people in his country to favor another. The argument against nationalism is to treat all equally, regardless of nationality and...

    God and Fatherland

    No, I think any form of nationalism is expressly against the Christian worldview. Firstly we share a brotherhood of faith; not blood or nationality. We are all united in Christ and our kinship with all of God's people is emphasized first and foremost. Secondly, we are called to avoid...

    Is Halloween evil?

    Not particularly. In its current form its just a silly holiday for us to watch horror movies and eat candy. It's also my mom's favorite holiday so I kind of have a soft spot for it.

    FBI Finds Jan 6th not Planned or Coordinated By Trump or Far-Right Groups

    You left out the rest of my post; but feel free to tell me in what part of that I am misrepresenting your argument?

    FBI Finds Jan 6th not Planned or Coordinated By Trump or Far-Right Groups

    Bit of a misleading thread title for the contents of the article presented. The article goes on to say that far-right groups had planned and stockpiled equipment for an infiltration of the capital -- however they had no grand plans as to what to do after. Yet, that's still a far-right group...

    3.5 trillion?

    Investing in the country is never a wasted expense. Austerity measures are a sure fire way to see we never recover from all of the economic ailments we face. Plenty like to scoff at infrastructure investments without realizing just how behind we are - and how that being behind translates to...

    Is cleavage okay in your book?

    I generally prefer when people of any gender are more modest in fashion. I think socially we have issues with objectification (especially the “marketing” of desire through capitalism) that tend to inform or influence decisions — which go beyond our fashion choices. That being said I’m not...

    Does God want us to pull our pants up?

    I never said you were judging them I was simply expressing my opinion on the topic :relaxed:. I don’t think there’s anything necessarily divinely offensive about how someone wears their pants. Some people like the style while others just simply don’t have fitting pants. Like any style one...

    Does God want us to pull our pants up?

    I imagine God is probably more concerned with how we tend to judge those based on their clothing rather than how they’re wearing their clothing.

    Wonderful

    I like the litmus for Trump being a good president is that he “did things” — with no real consideration for the social impact his presidency had on political discourse in the United States. Still bizarre after everything his ‘movement’ continues with somewhat open support.

    Good Day To You!

    Usually I find keeping my mind in the present and cultivating an attitude of thankfulness to be pretty helpful in establishing a good day. Keeping the divine in mind is key to me. Also a good meal and a cup of coffee tend to help. As far as improving days I find prayer to helpful as well as...

    Am I liberal or conservative?

    Sounds somewhat conservative to me. I'd also maybe urge you to do more research on immigration -- as that view is painting a very broad brush (and most economic studies on immigration declare it to be a net benefit to the native population) and is very harmful in pushing negative images of...

    It Makes sense for White People to Embrace Odinism and Other White-Centric Religions

    By that logic should Japan not have adopted Buddhism? Should Western European languages drop the Latin script? Or maybe we should abandon most of our classical western philosophical knowledge - since the majority of us aren't Greek or 'Roman.' The nature of human civilizations has always been...

    Worker Shortage Cause(s)?

    I think it's mostly already existent high-turn over rate (especially in retail) exasperated by the economic fallout of the pandemic + just a general increase in general public consciousness of already existing issues in minimum wage/low-wage positions.

    What does the face of God look like?

    When talking about the appearance God I think Exodus 33:20 addresses the basis of that phrasing in Mass. The way I think about it its hard to comprehend; I think the 'bearded guy in heaven' stand-in that we're familiar with in the Western world isn't really what I think of anymore.

    The End of History: Or will Communism ever make a comeback?

    The innate contradictions and inefficiencies of capitalism will likely be the cause for its downfall. I think it’s pretty hard to say for sure when and what exactly the world looks like after but capitalism isn’t likely to be around forever. Markets, sure will probably last but neoliberal...
