President Biden mocks our Catholic faith / 5min
"Our" Catholic faith? Speak for yourself.
To be fair, i believe he is speaking to his fellow Catholics.
We do have a surprisingly high number of Catholics here, plus our resident "Catholic".

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

When you lose a family member in tragic or violent ways, and you get to read false salacious (correctly used :) ) details in the paper, it changes the way you read things in the news. I understand the purpose of this thread, but I hope the family doesn't ever read it. I agree that this thread topic...

Re: Autocrat vs Institutionalist

Some here believe this retired pastor is too partisan... but I'm going to keep linking him because he addresses, through the lens of Jesus and the Bible, the issues that keep coming up on this forum. This recent video very much relates to this question of autocrat vs institutionalist... Here he's c...

Re: Poll: Who will win 2024 Presidency?

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.

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

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...

I've heard it's good for your marriage to go on dates regularly.

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: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

Unless headlines should start saying "Girl, 3, swept over waterfalls whose parents are ex-Baptists" - something nobody ever does. I know you don't like it when people accuse you of lying, but you surely do take a lot of liberties with the truth. It took me only seconds to find headlines l...

Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?

And prayer and fasting on behalf of those addicted is very much involved. I believe we would see more results if the focus was more on prayer and fasting on behalf of those addicted and a belief that God can deliver us from any and all sins and their effects. I used to be part of a small group wher...
