    Racism against Asians

    I was not aware until recently of an increase of attacks on Asians. A few point and questions: 1. Is it a fact that violence against Asians has increased due to the fact that Covid started in China? (Only complete idiots would attack Asians, or Chinese, specifically over this or for any racial...

    Do you social distance for concern for self, others, or both?

    I never worry that I'll catch Covid-19. If I do catch it, I don't worry that I will die. But I social distance and wear a mask where necessary, out of respect for others. I don't want to give Covid-19 to someone else. If the only reason for distancing and masks was to protect me, I would never...

    Life is both ridiculous and unbelievable, yet it's real

    First off, I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I believe in God, the Savior, the afterlife and other doctrinal stuff. But I am curious if many of us from different world views share something in common. If I were not experiencing my existence, I would find...

    Does the left politicize the role of the Supreme Court?

    There's no question that both the left and right want their President to appoint like minded judges to the Supreme Court. It's a matter of luck as to who is in charge of the nation when a Supreme Court member retires or passes away. I submit however, that the leftist philosophy politicizes the...

    Christian views on life, death, and the resurrection

    Another thread motivated me to post this. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I learned that I may have some incorrect assumptions about what other Christians believe. I'm asking here for concise and simple explanations of what you believe in regard to the soul, the...

    Faith, purpose in life, the hand of God

    Among people from all walks of life, different races, nationalities, cultures, economic circumstances, life experiences, degrees of suffering, education level, etc., there are people who sense God’s love and mercy and those who do not. There are starving people who pray for food and who when...

    Are we blessed for doing good?

    Do you believe that when someone is good in their heart, their motives, their thoughts and/or their actions, that they reap good things in return? I'm not speaking of what I would call the natural results of good behavior, such as if I do something nice for you, you may decide to do something...

    I hate HOA CC&R's

    I'm not sure if that makes me a liberal or a conservative. Who agrees or disagrees and why?

    If everyone were atheist, would atheists be more open minded regarding scientific theory vs fact?

    Imagine a world where the thought of God, a god, or a Creator never crossed anyone's mind. The concept simply does not exist. Would there be an increase in open mindedness regarding what is scientific fact and what is theory? For example, there's a lot of emotion behind the suggestion that...

    Is justice fair?

    Are "just" and "fair" synonyms? It seems to me that justice, in a gospel sense, punishes beyond what the recipient deserves and it therefore is not "fair". It's impossible for someone to come to this world and never sin. Yet, justice would cast off the sinner forever, regardless of the severity...

    So am I a dork for driving my little pickup truck?

    Ok, I'm getting sick and tired of this and need some input. I don't mind being teased by family and friends and am for some reason, not so clear, the frequent object of such joking. Two years ago I bought a used white, two wheel drive, four cyclinder, pickup truck for about $4k. It has vinyl...

    Why not proselyte?

    As a Mormon, I served a two year mission to Santiago, Chile from '77-'79. It was one of the most awesome and incredibly rewarding experiences of my life. We believe that Christ's admonition to "go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" applies to our church in this day...

    Why are you gay?

    I bet I caught your attention with the provocative title. I really do want to know. I've never had an in depth discussion with a homosexual on this subject. Since I don't know a gay person or lesbian well enough to ask these questions, I'll see if there are any takers here. My objective is not...

    Is life freaky or what

    So regardless of your view of the origin of life, the purpose of life, an afterlife, god or no god...and I have views on these subjects...do you find life to be freaky? I mean think about it. I'm sitting here as an intelligence aware of my existence, looking outside of my body, aware of my...

    What would it take for you to obey God?

    My questions are for those who would answer "no" to this question: "Do you try to conform you thoughts, words, and actions to the will of God, who holds you accountable for your actions? What would it take for you to change your mind and answer "yes"? Would you first have to be convinced...

    Do any Christians want a one on one discussion?

    Are there any Christians here who would be interested in a one on one discussion of how LDS Christian teachings compare or differ from typical modern day Christian views? Here are the requirements for the participant: - Must believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior, the Son of God, is Divine...
