The closest thing to a holiday (not "holy day", one of the feast days commanded by the law of Moses) in the Bible seems to be Purim. A holiday which makes zero sense for Christians or Gentiles to “celebrate”. Well, I didn't mean that we should celebrate it. I just meant, this is about the...

I think overall continuing trends are more concerning than any individual actions by Trump or Obama - that includes a cycle of tit-for-tat norm-breaking, politicization of the judiciary (which is probably the natural result of the judiciary "legislating from the bench"), executive overreac...

I consider it to be inappropriate to consider Mary much different than other faithful people in the past. Her role was unique, but she was only human. I think it is wrong to pray to her or make requests to her. Agreed, I think this would be the common Mennonite view. She is one of the heroes of fai...

The Marshall Project has a 70% figure for that. Specifically for families, according to un-cited government sources. Hmmm, it also says that they are much more likely to appear if they have a lawyer, but they need to pay on the order of $5,000 for a lawyer, and in some jurisdictions they can be at ...

There really was no change in policy besides the decision to enforce the law in a manner that will ensure that those who enter the US by improper means (there are proper means for those seeking asylum or landed immigrant status) will appear in court. The consequence of that is that children who acc...

PeterG posted this in a different thread. It seems relevant - disputing the idea that immigration only benefits the wealthy. https://www.econlib.org/library/Columns/y2010/Powellimmigration.html Any student who has taken an introductory economics course would think, quite plausibly, that if the suppl...

I like studying personality types; it's helped me understand myself and others better. I'm an INFP. As for the combinations in the poll, I'm actually closer to an INFP/INTP combination than INFP/INFJ.
