Re: Justice
I try to avoid putting myself in situations around murderers. How do you identify murderers so you know who to avoid? Statistical analysis is a good way to start. I live 30 minutes from a city with one of the highest murder rates in America. There are some simple steps to take: #1, avoid doing thin...

Re: Church Government Models
In your list do episcopal and presbyterian both fall under representative democracy. I'm not familiar with how they work. Episcopal is rule by a body of bishops. Presbyterian falls between that and congregationalism, where the ruling body is composed of non ordained elders appointed by the congrega...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?
One of the worst acts of negligence any parent can do is decide to have a child out of wedlock; it has been proven over and over how much worse the outcomes are. Choosing to be a single mother is a very poor choice. If that's one of the worst, surely divorce is another one. It may even be worse, es...
