If I choose not to talk about wars on MN that are constantly being talked about in mainstream media and which have become points of political tension and division, what does that say about me?

Re: War in Gaza

Any thoughts on how we can encourage people to pray, have compassion, and help? I have been asking that kind of question repeatedly. How are you responding to it in your posts? Why? Any time corporate prayer requests are made at work, I mention the Israel Gaza issue. I do not pray here because this...

Re: Christians and Trans

This how I relate to a family member that has come out as non-binary. I do not use pronouns. I use their name. If they say they want me to call them a different name, I will, but when I talk to the person, I do not use pronouns. I use their name. Pronouns are for speaking about a person. I try not t...

(I didn't test this extensively on other threads.) I am using Brave and did not get an error. You may have to do a refresh of the page. ...

Re: Calling people evil or demonic

A few years ago someone (who claimed to be a follower of Jesus) posted here, encouraging people to run over black lives matter protestors if they block the road. I never saw this.

Re: Global Warning/Climate Change

Yes, we should most definitely be pressuring China and India to reduce carbon emissions, although our ability to actually do so is somewhat limited. One way to do so might be through a carbon import tax. Which would actually be a tax on Americans and not China or India. But it would, at least, prov...
