    Is it time for a major news network controlled by an independent?

    The availabile major news channels are openly campaigning for one party or another. The right has one channel, and left has like 3 or 4, and they each run the exact same material. It’s like watching a election coverage nonstop. Wasn’t there a time when we only had to do this once every 4 years...

    Does social justice suffer from a lack of diversity of perspectives?

    So often social justice activists with the loudest voices, at least when we tune in to media, proclaim the need to fight for lgbt, immigrant, minority, and women’s right. Which on the surface sounds great, but the so called solutions tend to be condemning people who targeted as hostile and...

    Who are modern day Pharisees?

    In Jesus’ day, a Pharisee was characterized by knowing the law, ie the Ten Commandments, keeping up a good appearance, while neglecting the heart, and putting lesser parts of the law (thithes and offerings), above justice and mercy. They were also quick to stone sinners. IMO, that can apply to a...

    Is racism a misunderstood issue

    When racism is brought up, so often superficial differences are brought up such the idea that people are hated simply because of their skin color. Isn’t the religious component of this ignored or simply forgotten? Consider the origins of attitudes toward people of African and indigenous decent...

    Is politics in America looking more religious

    When we have two opposing parties and the criticisms of each often are character assassinations: fascist, commie, racists, murderers, rapists...aren’t critics sounding less like politicians and more like members of priesthood? This is often how the religious leaders of Jesus’ time, as recorded...

    Have social justice tactics regressed since ML

    The six key principles of MLK’s tactics . Does this look like the playbook of most of the so called justice warriors we see covered in the news? First, one can resist evil without resorting to violence. Second, nonviolence seeks to win the ‘‘friendship and understanding’’ of the opponent, not...

    I have successfully produced a surah equal to that found in the Koran

    The Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction. Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners in the company of mockers Serve the Lord with fear and celebrate his with trembling or he will be...

    Dating: a multicultural perspective

    One of my great passions is women. I love everything about them. How they feel, how they smell, how they taste. I love the mystery that is a woman and uncovering what is in her heart like pulling back the petals of a flower. I love looking into their eyes and wondering what they're thinking. I...

    Someone present to me an innovative religious idea in the Koran

    I'm talking about something that innovates the way we live our lives. The teachings of Jesus represent an innovation of the Old Testament. For instance where the OT preached 'an eye for and eye' Jesus preached to turn the other cheek. He offered the beatitudes 'blesses are the poor in spirit...

    What religion would you be if you weren't following your current one?

    I would be a non theistic satanist. I dig the whole thing about Sagan being a symbol of rebellion and I see the appeal of using no discipline whatsoever and engaging in all our 'natural' desires

    Women rape men as well.

    It's a sad part of our culture that this fact gets overlooked. So much focus is on the evil men that treat women like prey. The men who have been violated by women are sadly overlooked. I say this as a rape victim myself. I was raped by a woman while I was drunk. I actually take responsibility...

    Evangelical fascination with Israel

    I really don't understand the evangelical fascination with Israel. Biblically speaking I really don't see how Jews that reject Jesus are any different than any other pagans. I've heard pastors preach that the temple in Israel needs to be rebuilt as a sign that the end is near and that they...

    Are you happy? If so, why? If not, why not?

    I'll start. I hate my life because I don't have any of the things I want to get out of life. I'm on a career path I'm not passionate about, I never meet the right girl, my life feels like it lacks purpose and meaning. Most of my dreams have been crushed for the time being. Fwiw, I've been...

    Meeting potential mates

    One of my favorite topics. I love to talk about attracting women. I'm a giant flirt. I shy away from cheesy pick up lines. The bar scene isn't really my thing either. I wouldn't just go up to a girl sitting at bar that I thought was pretty and try to strike up a conversation. I prefer dance...

    I don't believe America is a majority Christian nation

    We have to be able to separate cultural Christians from those that actually believe in the teachings of Jesus. We can't do that by asking if people are Christian. The term "Christian" doesn't mean anything anymore. We must look to what people actually believe about the teachings of Jesus in...
