I am a Christian and my hope is that all will hear the Good News and be saved. Re: What is wrong with this picture..... My beliefs:  ALL of us are sinners from conception forward and inherently rebel against God.  Thus, why should it surprise anyone that some "good" people do bad things, a...

My take: Biden - rude, disrespectful, fake smiles, fake smirks, apparent intent to pull "facts" from his behind and sound smart, seemed extremely unprofessional - most Little League coaches display better leadership qualities.  I am mystified how Biden can say that his personal faith belie...

Does anyone remember how hilarious it was when the media extensively analyzed the bulge in GWBs suit during the debates several years ago?  Was he receiving voice answers remotely via radio?  Is he a secret diabetic hiding his insulin pump?  Are the aliens controlling his thoughts electronically?  ...

Sort of on topic re. our "mess". This is a non-partisan video produced by an accountant, Hal Mason, retired after 27 years with IBM. He looks at the budget, its revenues and expenses, and very simply illustrates the problem. Amazingly, we get all the media talking heads blathering and shou...

My favorites: Non-fiction ------------ The Bible 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey Fiction ------- Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand Entertaining but not mind-expanding so much as the 3 above -------------------------------------------------------------------- Most books by Tom Clancy, A...

How about: Leaving all physical, mental, and emotional aspects aside, which of these two women would make the better mother, lover, provider, and companion?  Which woman would be more likely to insure future positive prospects for our household?  Which woman would be more likely to keep a dog rather...

And, don't forget Atlas Shrugged.

A few thoughts come to mind after reading this thread: 1. People have been fighting and butchering each other for thousands of years for a variety of reasons - usually based on self interest, fear, or greed.  From a one perspective, this is because of "original sin".  Things have been spir...

Gosso said: "I see what you're saying, and you are likely correct.  I cannot remember where I heard this but someone said "You can only find happiness once you stop looking for it".  But that doesn't make any sense to me so I'll continue to bang my head against the wall." Gosso, ...

For me, once that I realized that everything I have is a gift from God and that my role was to do the very best that I could in everything I do so that it might benefit my neighbor, all of my "toil" became much easier.  For those who like to read: the book "Luther on Vocation" by...

Only by birth!  You sound like you have a bit more outdoor stamina that I do; those days are behind me.

Hello all, I just joined the forum.  For some strange reason, this thread is the first one I read.  All I can say is I am greatly impressed by the calm, rational, caring way this "hot topic" is being discussed.  Maybe there is hope for humanity, in spite of what the national news seems to ...
