    Do your beliefs make you happy?

    How could "beliefs" make me happy? For me, happiness is what comes from satisfying my needs and desires, and my desires include, where I can, and satisfying the needs and desires of others, especially those close to me, but for others as well. To me, happiness is the experience of joy...

    Extreme Right Preacher Rick Wiles Running for Congress

    There's nothing wrong with him running. However, I might assign some guilt to the voters who give him their support. That's the thing about democracy, isn't it? If we voters live in it, we're responsible for what happens in it. Nobody to blame but ourselves.

    Question for Christians. What do you think about what this Pastor has to say?

    Please explain how Biden fits the definition of "Tyrant" -- "a cruel and oppressive ruler." Don't forget to mention how many of your own friends and family have been cruelly and unjustly punished or killed by him.

    Going to meet more family for the first time...

    Truth is, life is pretty good -- and I have no idea why. There were horrors, long ago, but they're forgotten, and I've not been forever damaged by them. I've suffered no serious illnesses, just the physical deterioration that somebody as old as I am should have. My immune system seems to be...

    Going to meet more family for the first time...

    Ha, ha! I'm in nobody's will, and my will is iron-clad with only one person in it -- my loving partner of these 30 years. I won't be changing that. If that sounds stony-hearted, it really isn't. I'm liking many of my family that I'm meeting, but we never shared the back seat of the car, we...

    Going to meet more family for the first time...

    Golly-gee, after growing up an orphan, not even knowing my father's name, when I turned 70 my life partner got me the Ancestry DNA kit for my birthday. Well, after I spit into the little tube and sent it off, I got a message saying, "Hi, I'm your great niece!" Since then, in just the last 5...

    VP Harris Rubs People The Wrong Way

    That would be my take. Unfortunately, her nasal speaking voice and manner do tend to grate a little.

    The Democrat party officially has its own senator cat burglar.....

    And in the wrong forum. This is a persnal and family matter with no political subject matter for debate.

    Meloni's assault on Italy abortion clinic

    If the "right" was given by the law, it is not sacred -- by definition.

    Well said.

    For our creators we are not important enough for an afterlife.

    We are created. By creators. QED.

    Arizona Grand Jury Indictments

    This is great news. It is incredibly important that Americans have confidence in their institutions, because without that, democracy has little chance of survival. That a grand jury of ordinary Arizonans looked at the evidence before them and said, "this looks like cheating" can only help that...

    Foreign Aid bills - this would not have happened under Trump

    How odd it is -- I truly suspect that, no matter how small this little world is now (we can talk instantly to anyone, anywhere, and we can be anywhere in hours, not days and weeks), we will never be a planet of "globalists" until some of us are on another planet. Be fun to speculate on how...

    Irony of the evolutionary belief

    No it does not, because the situation you describe does not exist. This is a universe that supports life. This is not a universe with stars aligned to say: "I exist, sincerely the God of the Bible." Nor do you have an example of a universe that has that characteristic.

    Irony of the evolutionary belief

    However, if an infinite number of universes come into existence in the multiverse, then the likelihood of at least one of them having that characteristic seems to be pretty much 100%! Now all you have to do is consider that the only reason you can even ask these questions is that you happen to...

    Irony of the evolutionary belief

    I'll answer that -- though it wasn't addressed to me. Yes, of course I would accept that as evidence for God. Now, what do you make out of the fact that it has never happened?

    Foreign Aid bills - this would not have happened under Trump

    Oh, of course he'd end the war in one day -- just hand the Ukrainians in slavery to Putin, all nice and tidy. Yes, there's always money to be made in war, because humans can find a way to make money out of everything. But there are costs to not fighting rapacious aggressors, but when we try to...
