Re: Failed: Pastor Shooting Attempt - Western PA
What do you mean? I haven’t watched the video. The assailant was restrained and then another man came over and removed the firearm from the assailant. Like taking a sharp object from a student "You might hurt yourself with this." I would have no problem taking a dangerous item from someon...

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
Should we trust this kind of accusation without facts? Is making this kind of claim without evidence a way to pursue truth? Beyond that, if so much of of our energy goes into name calling, ad hominem attacks, responding to tone, and taking offense, where is the energy for actually discussing and un...

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree
Isn't this precisely what this thread is about? You can derail any thread by making personal accusations, and they do not need to be true. Just use lots of strongly emotional language, and don't provide any evidence. Meanwhile, keep turning the focus of the thread back to those accusations, and ins...

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries
.... None of us have the capability to drill our own oil and refine it into gasoline in our backyards and farms. .... Actually, when I was a child, a farmer in our congregation DID refine his own oil, and sold it as well (but maybe not gasoline - I just remember the oil). (His main business was a d...

Re: War in Gaza
I don't think that is accurate. In my experience, the Anabaptist focus is not on defining war. But rather, on defining what is meant by by Biblical teachings on nonresistance. And most Anabaptists equally object to participating in every form of armed conflict against others, whether it is conventi...

Re: War in Gaza
What is war? Is militarizing our southern borders against the drug cartels war? It looks a lot like war. Watch the movie Sicario. What about the predictions of violence we hear about if Trump doesn't win the election? We have even heard people talk about such predictions here. Is that war? Is prote...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills
How ridiculous is it that Christians on two sides can come together and exchange presents on Christmas… and then go right back to shooting each other. That Christians from the same family can shoot each other in a Civil War… The answer is obvious. And the obvious answer is ? Christians most certain...
