    Is forced labour in prisons ethical?

    I don't have an ethical issue in making inmates engage in some form of productive labour; assuming reasonable hours, good working conditions and fair-ish compensation.

    If you had psychokinesis.Would you make the opposite gender's clothes disappear?

    If I had the power to materialize and dematerialize clothing, I would open a store.

    Peak Australian Islamic groups seek to whitewash religion of religiously motivated terrorism in my view

    The distinction between "religious" and "ideological" is meaningless when the ideology in question is explicitly religious in its aims and doctrine. It may be an uncomfortable and inconvenient truth for Muslims (and politically correct progressives) to admit, but Islam is not merely incidental...

    To the "KJV Onlyists" Please Read Your Preface by the Translators

    I understand the impulse behind the idea even if it's misguided. Having a single, authoritative translation makes for a rather neat and tidy state of affairs. The KJV is also beautifully composed with its thees and thous giving an almost sacred aura to the text.

    Do those who prefer falsehood over truth deserve hell forever?

    To reject God is to cut yourself off from goodness itself since God is the supreme good. However, I question if it is possible to definitively reject God (at least in this life) because we all suffer from ignorance. You may insist that our failure to embrace Islam is a rejection of the truth but...

    Prophecies from Luz de Maria, from jesus christ for the coming years 2024-2033

    I would advise the OP to ignore claims of private revelation, especially from obscure figures who traffic in doomsday prophesies. Private revelation is a rabbit hole of falsity and outright silliness that will add nothing to your spiritual life. To its credit, the Church usually ignores such...

    Vatican Blasts Trans Surgery, Surogacy, Etc

    Christianity isn't about sex, but it's not silent about it.

    Vatican Blasts Trans Surgery, Surogacy, Etc

    The post Vatican II Church has spent decades trying to liberalize without contradicting itself on the core issues. But you can only force square pegs into round holes so far before something breaks. In any case a schism isn't likely because liberal Catholicism won't meaningfully exist in...

    Vatican Blasts Trans Surgery, Surogacy, Etc

    Fernández had cast the document as something of a nod to conservatives after he authored a more explosive document approving blessings for same-sex couples that sparked criticism from conservative bishops around the world, especially in Africa. I haven't read the document as I've more or less...

    Why do not christians believe in the Talmud?

    Not quite. Christianity is an offshoot of Second Temple Judaism which branched off to become its own religion. Rabbinic Judaism (what most religious Jews practice today) is its own separate development which emerged around the same time as Christianity. These are two distinct religions and there...

    Why do not christians believe in the Talmud?

    Christians do not recognize the legitimacy of rabbinic teaching because Christianity isn't a form of Judaism.

    Missouri Rule Change Would Allow Senators to Challenge Each Other to a Duel

    It's high time we saw a return of such manly virtue. Although the right to duel should be reserved for persons in high office. I would also like to see a return of jousting contests. For too long has the west lacked that aristocratic spirit of old Europe.

    Was you baptised as a child?

    I think of such 'dialects' as American demotic.

    Was you baptised as a child?

    English learners have it easy. You don't get to complain about conjugation until you start learning a Romance language.

    You do not need to be muslim to go to heaven

    Funnily enough, I was browsing the more "esoteric" subreddits not too long ago and I stumbled upon an old post by someone who claimed to have astral projected into a city in the astral world mostly populated by human souls. They claimed the city was filled with restaurants, shops, brothels...
