Re: Desmond Doss: The Adventist Conscientious Objector

as far as it goes, Mel Gibson is a very bloody director and as Christians we should not be involved in watching a movie to celebrate war. No one from my church would even hardly be aware the a movie was made, but they would know his story. Is it celebrating war or showing the reality of war in orde...

Re: Desmond Doss: The Adventist Conscientious Objector

It doesn't seem like the Taliban have much appreciation for comedy:

The Taliban is also trying to kill people around the Kabul airport who are wanting to leave. Are these things not true? We don't need to whitewash the Taliban in order to oppose...
