    What is revealing is the percentage of tests that come back positive and that hospitals in the US are beginning to get overwhelmed with people who suffer severe symptoms of corvid 19: Subscribe to read | Financial Times Texas Doctor Talks 'Overwhelming' Impact on Hospitals as Coronavirus Cases...

    Fauci is corrupted and wants to make loads of money with a vaccine? Which of your favourite misinformation sites said that? When it comes to wanting to make money with a vaccine, Trump is first in line. I’m glad the German pharma-company he tried to buy, declined his offer, because they...

    Actually Marx was a little more nuanced. The entire quote goes: “Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless...

    Nice to see that we at least agree that greed is a sin. And of course you’ll find sin everywhere, including Venezuela. However, as Christians we should be more concerned with the beam in our own eye. If you do want to criticize personal greed, corruption and nepotism, the USA are at an all time...

    Public curriculums should be religiously neutral because they have to accommodate students from all kinds of religious backgrounds. . As for the Christian worldview you are talking about, which one is that? I have an inkling that your Christian worldview differs vastly from mine or those of...

    Yes, sadly a lot of children fall through the cracks of the system, even here in Germany. Imho the answer to that is not to drain the system even further, but to invest in it and make it better. It’s just a wild guess of mine that it’s just as unfeasible for most families in the US to live from...

    The news I read are based on what scientists are actually saying, not on what Fox News and various conspiracy theory-sites’ spin-doctors filter out for you, because it suits the political agenda they support. So here’s straight from the horse’s mouth for you: And please correct me if I got you...

    Fact is that Acts tells us that Ananias and Sapphira lied to hide the fact that they kept some of the money from their land that they sold for themselves. There wouldn’t be a need to lie about that in Capitalism, would there? How many millions of people in this world are Catholic? It’s not...

    Trump using the Bible as a prop...

    What the President has demonstrated throughout the Pandemic crisis is an absolute lack of leadership up to the point where he openly declared not to be responsible. His aim was clear: everything that went wrong would be blamed on the governors, everything that went right Trump would claim as his...

    I’m quite calm, thanks for asking. Actually it seems it’s you who’s getting a bit overly excited here - just judging by your knee-jerk assumption that criticizing capitalism must automatically mean I support Bolshewism and the like, even though I explicitly stated that “I have little sympathy...

    Thank God most children have loving and caring parents and I’m not judging all parents by the irresponsible ones. However, there are very many children whose family life is a living hell. If abusive parents don’t have to send their kids to school, they won’t even have to hide the bruises...

    Alas, your posts passionate mantra illustrates quite well what I meant by “worship”. Please consider that Capitalism has also made very very many people destitute. Sadly often all those people, who have paid the price for the material luxuries we enjoy, are not on our radar, just as the rich...

    He has certainly expressed his intent to do so, even against governor’s will. I'm glad to hear high-ranking Military-men criticized him for that. Is it the Christians that stood up against racism that Jesus will say to “I never knew you”, or is it those evangelical Christians who endorse...

    We do indeed see this from very different perspectives. You focus on parental rights and I focus on the childrens' rights. Maybe what adds to my perspective is that my boy is a foster-kid, who has not seen the woman who gave birth to him in years. He’s still working on the traumata she...

    Isn’t it funny how two people can read the exact same text and still come to different conclusions? I see a politician squirming and desperately trying to deflect here. So on Monday Barr personally saw somebody throw something in Lafayette Square and weirdly enough nobody else did? And...

    Hi there, in the other thread this is off-topic, so I just started a new one. I hope that’s ok with you. Well, yes, Hitler certainly was keen to enforce the German “Schulpflicht” after he had turned the school-system into a Nazi-Propaganda-Apparatus. But it was actually already around in the...

    I just wish Trump would not just hold it up but actually read it. He may want to start with the Prophet Isaiah: "Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow." (Isaiah 1:17)

    So not being allowed to discriminate against people feels like discrimination to you? Well I see your plight, but I’m glad you’ve already realized that the plight of others is by far more serious. Why then, do you support a President that callously abandoned Syrian Christians? As for Germany...
