    Do you pray for President Trump?

    Interesting. I didn't know they had a flag.

    Do you pray for President Trump?

    Thanks for that. I Googled him and his name was Edward Curtis, born 1868. He did some amazing photography. I think I have heard of him. In that photograph of the Inuit family my father took everyone looked hale and hearty. My father's location was Isachsen, Ellef Ringnes Island, within the...

    Do you pray for President Trump?

    Thanks. What Father Heathen was not taking into account is that no one was trying to destroy the Inuit while hardliner Muslims (what many are now calling Islamists) do want to destroy and enslave. PopeADope, I am curious. What is that flag? I don't recall seeing anything like it.

    Do you pray for President Trump?

    The Inuit are a slightly different situation, wouldn't you agree? We are talking in their case about what happens, too often, when a stone age culture encounters the modern world. Any decent person would be sympathetic to their plight. My father spent a year in the arctic during the war and told...

    Do you pray for President Trump?

    :clapping: I second that. But from what I have seen you need your own version of Trump. I am in Canada and our Prime Minister seems intent on population replacement. Demographers are saying that in 50 years, at the current rate of immigration, Canada will have become a majority Muslim country. I...

    Do you pray for President Trump?

    No, I am an atheist, but I do wish him well and hope that he doesn't do anything too stupid. I see Trump as a bit of a mixed bag but I do like a number of the things he has done, especially the moving of the embassy. He has no record in office and so is something of an unknown. He is not your...

    Is Bible literal young earth Christian fundamentalism turning people away from God?

    Why would you raise Adolph Hitler. He has nothing to do with this conversation. Are you trying to compare Trump to Hitler? I am sorry, but this statement does not strike me as rational. Trump has never committed an atrocity. He is no rose, but he is no Al Capone either, and he has done some...

    Is Bible literal young earth Christian fundamentalism turning people away from God?

    This is not an area where I have much expertise, and what I will tell you is essentially the opinion of Ben Shapiro who I thoroughly trust in this matter. He calls Kavanaugh a moderate and believes he has the potential to be a swing vote, much like Kennedy. The preference of the right was to see...

    Is Bible literal young earth Christian fundamentalism turning people away from God?

    Pcarl, I think if we all knew more about the private sexual lives of the men and women we elect, and if we based our decisions in the ballet booth solely on a set moral code, many of our public officials would never hold office. We might then miss out on some of our best Presidents or Prime...

    Why Islam makes more sense conceptually of all the Abrahamic faiths

    You are so right. There is the recent story of seventeen year old Maedeh Hojabri of Iran. She has been sentenced to four years in prison and 20 - 100 lashes (I don't recall the exact number) and her crime is two-fold. She posted videos of herself dancing (she is very, very good) and she is not...

    Why Islam makes more sense conceptually of all the Abrahamic faiths

    Hi Adrian, this is correct. Jews and Christian are considered the People of the Book, and so have semi-protected status not afforded to those of other religions. That does not mean they have not been relentlessly persecuted and harassed under Islam. Besides, this is not really and example of an...

    Why Islam makes more sense conceptually of all the Abrahamic faiths

    You will find plenty of Christian countries that are democracies. You will not find many Islamic nations that separate church and state, if indeed you can find any. My assertion is that this difference stems from the natures of the New Testament and the Koran. Jesus is presented as a very...

    Why Islam makes more sense conceptually of all the Abrahamic faiths

    I just had to say hello. I've never heard religious followers described as "theological fandoms." Very apt. I am also a Harry Potter fan, though I came at it late. Rowling had already published the complete series when my 16 year old niece came over one day with the first volume and made me...

    Why Islam makes more sense conceptually of all the Abrahamic faiths

    Ellen, so glad to hear it. You might want to check out Ex-Muslims of North America. They are a support group for Muslims leaving the faith. Also, Sarah Haider, one of the co-founders, gives some very interesting talks. You might enjoy listening to her. You will find her on YouTube.

    Why Islam makes more sense conceptually of all the Abrahamic faiths

    This notion of Islam is alien to me. Can you provide some examples of Islamic governments, organizations, or Islamists that have gone out of their way to act like a big brother to non-Muslims?
