Re: Paul Graham - How to Disagree

Specifically, as Anabaptists, we actually think the substance of who the writer is important, and is a very important part of whether an argument is right or wrong. The idea that you can divorce an idea from the person who created it is not an Anabaptist way of thinking. This is a special case of t...

Re: God Bless the USA" Bibles

your position seems to be that the Christian thing to do is... support un-Christian candidates who explictly set anti-biblical policy. Use I statements.

Re: Political office

But we should. The right thing to do would be to not deliver pornography to people's mailboxes. I am very disturbed by this point of view that it's OK to do immoral things as long as an employer is telling you to do it. So I assume you could not work as a postal carrier. And presumably not as a UPS...

My favorite part is at 2:35: "I'm gonna rare back and tell you something...."

Good to hear a Church of God pastor saying this.

Re: War in Gaza

You think they are just going to pack up and move north because some Palestinian mothers ask them to? 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 strat...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

It is perfectly feasible to borrow $4,000 per year to pay for college and earn another $5,000 per year working part time and during the summers and wind up with a fully paid for nursing degree and $8,000 worth of student loans. That's a creative interpretation of "fully paid for." :) The ...
