Re: Income Inequality

if you gave most people a million dollars, many would blow it and have nothing to show for it. many immigrants come here with nothing and do well because they work hard and SAVE many rich people are rich because they SAVE and INVEST their money rather than waste it. To the degree that this is true,...

Re: Remember the deficit?

Industrial society, however, has not been the norm, with concomitant widespread exploitation of the poor to make them even poorer whilst the rich get even richer. A widening gap between the rich and the poor destabilises society, leads to corruption in politics where the rich try to control the gov...

Timeline of first communion service...

Here is something I'm working on right now. I'm curious what you have to say about the timeline. It's mostly from the perspective of Judas.... No one asked Judas where he had been. The next day was the day when the Jews ate the Passover feast in the evening (which was technically the beginning of th...

Re: Blogs

Tell me please, which of the two following concepts you prefer (and why). Present approach... New approach... The comparison here is mostly the landing pages. Which of these two concepts would be most likely to get you into the site to do further reading? That's actually the goal of a landing page.

Re: Depression discussion

Can depression be diagnosed by blood samples like other diseases? Can you diagnose a broken leg with a blood sample? Can you diagnose poor eyesight that way? How about sleep apnea? I'm not sure that I would call depression a disease as much as a disorder. But there are ways to diagnose it, and some...

Re: Who founded Christianity

Peter himself admitted that the Jews couldn't keep the law. I don't see him as promoting Judiasm. God worked through him to bring the gentiles into the church without turning them into Jews. Jesus called Paul on the Damascus road and later commissioned him to go out to the gentile world. But he alwa...

Re: Mid-life crisis/Life begins at 40, etc.

I think a mid-life crisis is the time when we realize that we are not going to live on this earth forever. Sure we all say that we believe that ever since our teens, but there is a time when it sinks in. I look back ten years and it wasn't that long ago. I look ahead ten years and realize that my ba...

Re: Justifying violent acts against those with different opinions...

At what point is it right for us to try to convince others that our way is the way God would have us all to go? I think it is right for us, as Christians, to try to convince Christians to act as Christians. And that means not spreading the memes of our political factions as gospel truth. Unfortunat...
