Re: Pilgrim Mennonite Conference current events

As an aside, I find it really annoying how plain people refer to a “Junior” as if we’re all supposed to know who that is. I have literally been asked, “Do you know Junior?” Junior who? I provably know 50 “Juniors”. I honestly never knew him by any other name. My wife may know. I'll ask. Sorry to ge...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

How ridiculous is it that Christians on two sides can come together and exchange presents on Christmas… and then go right back to shooting each other. That Christians from the same family can shoot each other in a Civil War… The answer is obvious. And the obvious answer is ? Don’t shoot each other.

It would appear the RNC has also adopted this notion.

Re: War in Gaza

P.39: I think there could have been more separation between the militants and non-militants. If the militants deliberately defy the separation and infiltrate the non-militants (which has been their strategy), then we are just back where we started. And wouldn't self-identifying as a militant be pai...

Re: War in Gaza

Muslims don’t forgive either - so what happens next? Endless feuds and war forever?

More importantly, why does America need to be funding this to the tune of billions of dollars?

Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree

Is there somewhere Jesus tells us to do what Paul Graham teaches? No. But some of these levels are Paul Graham telling us to do the same things Jesus teaches. Particularly at the name calling level. And some of these levels are Paul Graham telling us to do things that we see in the rest of Scriptur...

Re: War in Gaza

Israel isn’t interested in “negotiating with terrorists,” which was once SOP/Standard Operating Procedure, thought to be necessary to prevent terrorism. Why does this not apply to Hamas? If you want a ceasefire, you have to negotiate. Israel has killed a lot more civilians than Hamas has. Israel’s ...

Re: War in Gaza

The operation in Iraq was much larger scale. Of course, it didn’t work in the long run. How are you measuring scale? Air drops of food. Sending ships across the Atlantic to build a pier. Etc. The operation in Iraq saw many ships sent over along with massive airlifts in many large cargo planes.
