Concepts of justice mostly flow from pagan, heathen systems centred around vengeance or else systems of control based on “might makes right”; some modern concepts of it are based on utilitarian ethics, which has a different set of problems. To truly understand justice, though, we can simply read the...

So... if pointing out the depravity of Donald Trump simply convinces people to support Biden instead, then in a spiritual sense what really has been gained? However, if the pastor's message brings conservative Christians to their senses regarding the false hope and misplaced allegiance they have pl...

This is a rather standard left-wing playbook by now: make up fake "threats", and then use it as an excuse why the First Amendment needs to be curtailed.

A large fraction of America isn't buying or accepting it anymore.

Again, I don't think the title is accurate. "Mennonite girl, 3", simply is not accurate, unless you're using "Mennonite" purely as some kind of ethnic marker. Which is something I strongly disagree with. He got something wrong. So did you. I strongly disagree with you accusing J...
