    Being non-cis

    Highlighting the fact that someone has a mental illness does not necessarily imply hostility. It is an observation. Those with any illness deserve our love.

    Being non-cis

    If one feels as if the whole notion of transgenderism is misguided (because the person decides they are in fact a gender opposite as to what their DNA indicates) - whether due to a mental illness or any other reason - and corrosive to traditional Western values and teachings on family and the...

    Being non-cis

    I can't speak for all Christians, sorry.

    Being non-cis

    Why does someone care if their neighbor is ill? That should be obvious, at least it should be to Christians and hopefully everyone else too.

    Being non-cis

    I do not understand the hatred, let alone the violence, directed to them. However many people do think that transgenderism is a mental illness. Further, many think that the normalization of it is damaging to society, as it erodes traditional values and they do not want their children exposed to...

    Pope Francis: The Devil Assails Christians with Vanity and Rage

    Your post here reminded me of a quote (unusual for a person in his position, in 6th century Constantinople) of Procopius: "I am fully aware of the disputed points, but I shall by no means go into them. For I think it some kind of senseless foolishness to investigate what sort of thing the...

    The Pope is a very wise man. God bless him with long life.

    "Catholic Leader: If We Cancel Mass Due to Coronavirus, We’ve 'Lost Our Courage' "

    Yes, much mystery. Though it is clear to me that the ground of all being - God the Creator - is not some being directing lightning bolts (or choosing football teams, siding with certain armies, etc.).

    Question about 2 Corinthians 5:10

    31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.” Acts 17:31 No one knows *when*

    Secular Power is a blessing to humanity, not some sort of divine chastisement

    My government has done and continues to do many horrible things in the world. There is no denying that. But I blame bad leaders more than anything else. Your average Joe on the street is much more likely than not to have a good heart and acknowledges their Creator. At least that has been my...

    "Catholic Leader: If We Cancel Mass Due to Coronavirus, We’ve 'Lost Our Courage' "

    Perhaps what is being revealed here is your misunderstanding of the nature of the Creator?

    Way of the Fathers (podcast)

    I recently discovered this new (10 episodes so far) podcast. Though just a few episodes in, I am enjoying it: Way of the Fathers (Podcast) edit: The content of these podcasts would, I think, make for some interesting discussion topics here...

    White supremacist attends Bernie rally, brings swastika

    The OP is in a politics forum. It includes a link to a news article and a comment about the event. Have you ever made that type of post?

    What do Jews find strange about Christianity and why.

    @Deeje "Since the ancient Jews had no belief in an afterlife" I think that was true of some Jews (e.g., Sadducees) but not others (Pharisees). There were many different sects.

    Oh Goody! The Russians vs the Ukrainians at the US Elections!

    Biden having a kid set up with a cushy job...looks bad but compared to the things Trump has done? Every time Trump mentions Ukraine, Biden should respond with 'Trump University' or 'children in cages'.

    Oh Goody! The Russians vs the Ukrainians at the US Elections!

    What have the Ukrainians done? I have only heard lies about them (from Trump and Co).

    What kind of religious/spiritual questions do you ask your self?

    'How am I falling short of the way Jesus wants me to live?' 'Why?' I reflect on that every night before I go to sleep and every morning when I awake - after thanking God for another day.

    Bernie Sanders is Getting a Raw Deal by Some Democrats

    There is some truth in what you say here (and Biden is not my ideal candidate, that's for sure). I was just pointing out that Trump knows that his biggest threat is Biden, according to the swing state polls
