Re: Justice
What is justice? We often hear "justice needs to be served" or perhaps "she deserves justice." What exactly do we mean, and exactly how does that look? Does it look different if the victim of the injustice is alive vs deceased? It is my studied opinion that we have no idea what ...

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: Autocrat vs Institutionalist
Are any of those important to you? And worthy of consideration? Dan Z cited concern about nuclear weapons; the simple fact is that America gets an F there, since they used them unnecessarily in a war simply to cause mass terror and win. No one else has ever used one. Hypotheticals don’t count. We c...

Re: Autocrat vs Institutionalist
So far, the only nuclear weapons deployed in war or against civilians was the United States during the height of institutionalism. That’s an argument against, not for, institutionalism. Autocratic regimes, on the other hand, have mysteriously never actually made good on any nuclear threats. That is...

If you google their name "Keith and Sheri Newswanger" you will find that there was actually a lot of national news coverage of the event back in 2022 and they now have a gofundme page which has raised them $13,220 so far.
I didn't turn up any recent coverage of their arrest.

Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?
Since starting this thread, I've been to listening/reading many addict's accounts of what made them get sober, either on their own or through a rehab facility or program. They all were very different: some hit a rock bottom as Josh mentioned. Other were able to see their own downward spiraling and ...

Re: Were they Christians? John 15:13
Wife:There’s always the possibility that the Astors and many other people on the Titanic might have chosen to get right with God while on a sinking ship, and Straus could have chosen to follow Jesus. This act itself, brave as it may be, would not be enough to get someone into heaven, and there are ...

Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?
Ultimately, stopping using drugs isn't that hard. When someone truly hits rock bottom, they'll stop using and get clean. My spirit disagrees with this statement. It could be correct, somehow. It is also unhelpful and in my opinion barely passes the test of Christian charity. It isn't actually accur...
