Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

You can parse words by talking about "some demographics" But the fact of the matter is that the majority of children in this country living in single parent households are the result of divorce and separation, not Black teenagers having children out of wedlock. Rather than number of house...

Re: May 16, 2024 - Posters at a Glance

If registration dates are factored, the list would change .. at least, the order. Agreed. How many posts on average per day or per week since one's registration day might be interesting. Maybe a graph on the last year or so. Who started the most threads, etc, etc. I don't think I'll hold my breath ...

Re: Justice

I try to avoid putting myself in situations around murderers. How do you identify murderers so you know who to avoid? Statistical analysis is a good way to start. I live 30 minutes from a city with one of the highest murder rates in America. There are some simple steps to take: #1, avoid doing thin...

Re: Church Government Models

In your list do episcopal and presbyterian both fall under representative democracy. I'm not familiar with how they work. Episcopal is rule by a body of bishops.

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

One of the worst acts of negligence any parent can do is decide to have a child out of wedlock; it has been proven over and over how much worse the outcomes are. Choosing to be a single mother is a very poor choice. If that's one of the worst, surely divorce is another one. It may even be worse, es...

Re: Is it wrong to use nuclear bombs against civilians?

How do citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven go about getting the kingdoms of the world to stop developing and using nuclear and other bombs against other kingdoms of the world? By inviting citizens of the kingdoms of the world to become citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven; teaching, baptizing, and disci...
