How can "our friend" have "his own side?" This is us-and-them language. .

Maybe it's nitpicking, I dunno, but do you think sins that resulted in death by stoning were unforgivable? Could it actually be that everyone who suffered fatal punishment under the ancient Hebrew theocracy also forfeited eternal life? Some will think me presumptuous to say this, but I have a...

Many of the most traditionally constituted families are "somehow not families." Most of us grow up in one of these. The general concept of acknowledging families is not politically charged, so cheer up. Using our God-given reasoning powers without so much emotional influence can be...

"The Law And Its Logic: Where Atheists And Christians Agree" by Don Mackintosh

I see you got that, Brother @dev553344 Nice! :Happy: .

John, you'll never know just how happy you've just made our friend, Amigo - lol.

Ah, the sins of omission—you have me at a disadvantage, Sir. ;)

Ah, methinks thou dost preach to the choir. For, can a man be guilty of more than he committeth? But, all seriousness aside, I'm a total depravity man, myself. :D

These observations, whether correct or incorrect are probably only beneficial to vindicating your view of things to yourself. They certainly don't give me anything to celebrate.

Answering your questions never helps. You just fire back more emotional reasoning. All you want is an admission that you or someone or some group with whom you are in sympathy has been victimized and that you are justified in what the late Dr. Albert Ellis calls A-to-C thinking. Things are the...

Yep, all out of ideas. Everybody's out to get you, no doubt.

I said: To which you replied: At this point, I'm fresh out of ideas about how to effectively communicate with you.

Depending on one's level in the hierarchy I'd say most are more resigned than committed. Hi Marksy!! :waves:

My daughter is a supervisor in a brand new hospital's ICU and my son is a graphic design contractor. The biggest advantage they had was learning to avoid peer dependence and groupthink like the Plague.

I worked 3rd shift for years so I could personally drive mine to a good Christian school and still ended up having to homeschool them. My daughter needed concentrated effort that a traditional classroom setting just would not afford. There were times when it seemed like we were trying to cross...
