Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

These sorts of events are always interesting to me in that they show how FAST we can actually get things done in this country when we actually want to. Yes. Take for example the I-95 bridge collapse in Philly last year, which was replaced in TWELVE DAYS. not replaced. Just filled in with gravel and...

Re: Evil and Violence

I think that God does use unregenerate persons to do His will even when they have no desire to do so, but I'm not sure how a person can go to war and kill other people without being evil. Is it not evil to reject Jesus and his way? Yes, I think that could be one definition of evil. Does the same de...

Evil and Violence

Do you support the use of the sword to kill evil people who want to destroy the enemy while hiding behind their own civilians? No. I do not support the use of the sword. I'm simply stating what the apostle Paul says the purpose of the sword is. Yes, I am making conclusions about what is evil. What ...

Re: Pennsylvania Leads the Way in Promoting Agriculture.

According to the census, median per-capita income in Mifflin County is $28,979 which comes to $2,414/month or $13.93 per hour. That calculation only makes sense if everyone (including children and the residents of Valley View) is working 40 hours per week. I don't know if median wage data are avail...

Re: War in Gaza

But then, really, is it somehow better for a country to kill 30,000 enemy soldiers than for it to kill 30,000 civilians? If so, why? Yes, I think so. But I make the distinction between those who use and support the use of the sword, vs. those who do not. God has instituted the sword and civil gover...

Re: Pennsylvania Leads the Way in Promoting Agriculture.

All of my family who aren't actively dairy farming have left the area as have their children. Because there is nothing to do. Unless you want to live there and commute long distances to jobs elsewhere. Everything I hear coming from Belleville is that there are lots of jobs and barely enough people ...
