https://www.thetablet.co.uk/news/warning-of-us-evangelical-bias-in-ai-chatbots-bible-interpretations/ Interesting article about how several AI models lean towards Protestant beliefs vs Catholic beliefs. I will note that they did not test Gemini and that when I tried some queries in ChatGPT...

It looks like there is now proof of a coordinated effort to track and stop ICE operations...and that state officials were involved: https://www.newsmax.com/us/cam-higby-signal-democrats/2026/01/25/id/1243518/ As the information on this signal chat group comes to light, it appears that state...

I know that's an oxymoron - but there is a scale. The crime of illegal entry is less critical than the crime of assault, child abuse, etc. I'd like the focus to be on the ones who have committed violent crimes first.

I didn't answer because your questions don't really apply to my church. I attend a smaller rural church and we don't have associate pastors. In fact, due to a lack of available pastors in the region, our pastor came out of retirement and is technically "part time". We share resources with other...

This is the root answer. If ICE encounters an illegal immigrant, they have to follow the law and arrest them. If the local law enforcement simply handed over the criminal elements in a controlled environment (aka jail or court), the only people ICE would be in contact with would be the...

Carrying extra mags is not uncommon, one of the things you do if you have a malfunction in a pistol is change the magazine. That being said, he committed several crimes. Interfered with law enforcement, resisted arrest, placing his hand on the gun is menacing and can be construed to threaten...

Upstate NY, it's been frigid for the last couple of nights. This morning, my truck read -11F at 8 AM...at least the temps are forecast to go up with the snow coming through. We're expecting 12-14" for the total storm. It's actually not a lot of snow for our region, but we have had 5 or 6 very...

I do think that the vast majority of ICE agents are doing the best they can in a bad situation. But, just like in any other group, there are a small percentage that have exceeded their processes and with the camera always on them, each time one of them messes up, whether it is intentional or...

I agree that there are demons at work in Minneapolis and behind many of the Democrats. However, I want to temper that - there are demons behind some Republicans as well. Politics is dirty business and I fear that people on both sides of the aisle have made deals with the Devil to gain or...

Thank you! It is comforting that others who have a similar path to God have worked through similar concerns around prayer. Your explanation of how I feel is actually better than how I described it earlier. I have been focused on others for most of my life. I have been a volunteer EMT since 18...

Thank you. I will try this suggestion.

Thank you everyone! I especially like Rita's idea of writing down prayers to read them. I have been doing a type of journaling already based on responder peer support ideas. I am a "logical minded" person and will admit that I often see things as either black or white, right or wrong. So, that...

Gratitude is easy, I just don't feel like I deserve to ask for anything. I feel ashamed for having left the church for so long. When I left, I decided that I would just be good to others and that was enough to go to the right place, but I have since understood that works without faith is not...

As I alluded to in other posts, I left Catholocism as a teenager and started attending church about 4 years ago - this time my local UMC. I am happy with that decision and fully believe in Jesus...I have seen too many things that tell me that He exists. My problem is that I am having trouble...

Different articles show different reasons, but the pandemic in 2020/2021 was a big driver. UCLA has recently talked about bringing back SAT score requirements, but one of the original reasons they cited was lack of diversity due to scoring...and they lost a lawsuit in 2021.

The lack of reading comprehension is scary! When many colleges did away with SAT requirements, things really went downhill fast.

I have used AI for several things. My full time job is IT for a school district and we have been testing AI tools for both staff and student use. We have not turned it on for students, but want to get ahead of them and control the narrative with the students. We know that they will use outside...

Thank you. It wasn't my video above, I just replied to the thread. At the time, I wasn't actively practicing, but this is one of several experiences that brought me back to church.

I had an experience on that day that likely saved me. I was working in my office in midtown when the attacks happened. When we heard that the 2nd plane struck the towers, my boss looked at me and said “Go, do what you need.” She knew I was an EMT with a volunteer ambulance squad. As I was...

Coffee is the lifeblood of armies and office workers. A perfect cup of coffee is a gift from God. It is derived from a ruby-red seed, grown to perfection in His vision. Roasted by artisans using their God-given skills, like Bezalel. The choice of roast and whether to add milk and sweetener...
