Christians believe they are responsible not for themselves only but are also called to love their neighbour. I don't think it's right to sell people alcohol or cigarettes. I don't think it's right to sell guns and ammunition to people who will use it to go commit acts of violence. So if I understan...

I remain sceptical of Paul Graham's essays; he writes a lot about the importance of these things, but then turns around and funds "disruptive" businesses that do the exact opposite.

~60% of the membership has exited. Update on the unsalvageable UMC Yep. Local churches around me, even those headed by women pastors, have paid the “jizya” (which can be in the millions of dollars) to exit the UMC. They even got new road signs to take the words “United Methodist” off them. One chur...

I don't think anybody has commented yet on to what extent CAs would be OK with being an internet service provider. Could this be considered similar to any other IT job - selling and servicing computers and networking? Wow. That would be a tough one for me personally. If I started such a business, I...

your position seems to be that the Christian thing to do is... support un-Christian candidates who explictly set anti-biblical policy. Not at all. I don't think I say anything even remotely like that. I have never said Christians need to support any candidate. In fact, this thread is specifically a...

The proper pathway is impeachment and conviction. Trump was impeached but not convicted. The end.

It will probably take the Supreme Court to rebuke lower level courts, judges, and prosecutors attempting to manipulate the 2024 election.

When I think of the Trinity at the basic and fundamental level, I don't think of a word, or of technical details, or doctrinal development in explicating it. Like, you don't need to know all those things. I'm willing to discuss and defend the details, but the core of the Trinity is very significant...

I don't know much about them. My statements were generalisations - the more conservative the group, the less comfortable they are with organised sports.

Sorry, but I don't buy into your "Christian nationalism" conspiracy theory, nor do I think it's somehow worse when Christians support Trump or Republicans versus Christians supporting Bob Dole, George Bush, Obama, or Democrats. The conservative Anabaptist position is that we shouldn't be r...

Professional or amateur sports? No plain Anabaptist would be OK with being a professional athlete. Most conservative Anabaptists wouldn't be OK with amateur sports like playing in college or the Olympics. Most (but not quite as many) conservative Anabaptists wouldn't be ok with organised sports at ...
