Re: Recipes

Looks simple and I have all the ingredients but the heavy cream. Let us know how it turns out. Do you think one could substitute yogurt for the cream?

Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?

I don't know. There seem to be so many definitions that I'm not sure it's a useful distinction. I'm considered conservative when it comes to my Bible-based values on sexual behavior. I don't see the Bible giving rules on beard length or clothing styles other than not being flashy or expensive so don...

Agreed. And I didn't even make the list which is good to know.
You are in the top 20, number 19 at the moment. I get left out, I'm at number 21. I'm sometimes part of the conversation, too!

Re: Is it wrong to use nuclear bombs against civilians?

How do citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven go about getting the kingdoms of the world to stop developing and using nuclear and other bombs against other kingdoms of the world? We can't, but we can speak out about the evil. We can also decline to pay taxes for it. Jesus said “Render therefore unto Cae...

Re: Bunny Trails: Politics

I don’t know what evidence you read. Could have been. However, in war, “about too” doesn’t seem to cut the mustard. At any rate, it took two atom bombs for them to move from about too, to doing it. Why didn’t they after the first bomb, if they were about too? Here is the sort of evidence that I've ...

There is evidence that Japan was about to surrender. Negotiating that surrender would have been the most moral choice.

Re: Justice

A number of times Scripture talks about justice for the oppressed. For example,
Ps 146:7 ​who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free;
Justice, it seems involves ending oppression, food for the hungry, and setting prisoners free.

Re: Poll: Who will win 2024 Presidency?

It's illegal for the defendant of a criminal case to intimidate witnesses, the jury and officers of the court, which is why there's a gag order. Is that really what is going on? I perceive it as suppression of political speech. Trump isn't "intimidating" anyone. And the witnesses seem qui...

Re: Poll: Who will win 2024 Presidency?

That's because many people (correctly) perceive these trials as being biased, unfair, and basically political show trials. Americans don't like that. Have you been paying any attention to the current trial? Most any other person, after violating their conditions of release in other criminal trials,...
