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 ...

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

Re: Is Biden Fit to be President?
Nice whataboutism there. Either lying is a measure of fitness for president or it isn't. Which is it? Maybe neither is fit to be president, but we really don't seem to have another choice. I really liked Shane Claiborne's book, Jesus for President . https://pictures.abebooks.com/isbn/9780310278429-...

Re: Is Biden Fit to be President?
I would love to see a test of these sorts of being fit impartially and publicly administered to both major party candidates. I suspect Biden would do better than his opponent, but I don't know.

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?
As Trump was engaged in insurrection, it behooves Congress to act. I think they should have made that finding after the January 6 impeachment, when a majority of both Houses essentially agreed with that finding.
