Re: War in Gaza
When it comes to Christians in Israel or Gaza, or other war-torn areas, I think the best thing to do is flee the area. The New Testament tells Christians similar things in various hostile situations. There are political situations where it just doesn't work to try and live out your faith as a Chris...

Re: War in Gaza
I don’t hate Netanyahu. I do think he is a warmonger who has done much to hurt the cause of peace. And my opinion on that is almost entirely based on things (Jewish) Israelis have told me. I have heard it said that even the leftwing elements of the Israeli government, as well as the majority of pub...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?
This is a good observation. I think most mistake a pardon for acquittal.

Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?
What is the standard. Is the working assumption things I like are conservative vs. things I don't like which are progressive.

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
We shall see. It might be interesting to revisit this thread in a couple of years to see how these predictions are playing out.

Spanish is not an official language in NY state but NYC is one of few places in the US where students can go through the educational system, from preschool to graduate level degree, in a language other than English.

Re: Thinking about shaving my head... sort of...
I'm getting grey and I am developing a bald spot (my barber tells me it is just "thinning"). Not thinking of going the razor skin head look, but the clippers on either a #2 guard or no guard at all. I'm on the upper end of my mid-40's so I think I'm old enough to make such a decision. I'm...

Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine
I think the invasion is about the concept of greater Russian, like the empire assembled by Peter the great. Putin wants it back.

Re: Church Government Models
Models are just models. North Korea, China and the Soviet Union are/were democratic republics, at least on paper. What counts is the internal relationships. All models can be subverted into unhealthy tyrannies. Correct. What we are looking at in this thread is functional governance. From that persp...
