    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    John 17:3 — “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." Are you saying that the less we know about God, the better? (rhetorical question, right?) :p

    Why is the World Silent About the Largest Genocide of Christians in History?

    Antisemites can call me a Zionist all they like, but I make a definite distinction between the Israeli government and Jews as a people or religion. And conspiracy theories are like rectums: Everybody's got one and... :

    Why is the World Silent About the Largest Genocide of Christians in History?

    Simple answer— Nazi Germany kept extraordinarily meticulous records (documents, film) of their crimes and expanded their system so widely, geographically, that they were conquered by defenders from afar (including even the USSR) and the voluminous behemoth of their records were discovered and...

    Veganism

    No one is forbidding anyone to do anything. There's nothing for demons or tares to enjoy here. :

    Veganism

    Some folks have larger, more nuanced concerns that can't be reduced to an all-or-nothing logical fallacy. Love sometimes compels people to do/be the best they can for Jesus rather than keep their eyes open for loopholes to justify their carnal desires. :

    Veganism

    Tell that to the hundreds of millions of poor people of the world who have little or no access to animal food products nor supplemental Vitamin E and B12. They get it naturally—which largely Caucasian Americans can do more easily since they can get E more efficiently from sunlight and can afford...

    Veganism

    It's really only optional relative to a believer's viewpoint and experience. The main principles involved are the ethical treatment of animals, glorifying God in our bodies, and the duty to God as stewards of the human machinery—which is tied to the sanctity and preservation of human life...

    Veganism

    You really have no sense of self-awareness at all, do you? :

    Veganism

    I've seen it. I've also noticed that the word translated "meat" is actually a Greek word that means "food," or "certain food"—not animal flesh. So what Paul is actually condemning is the religious coercion or enforcement of meaningless abstinence from food, or certain types of food. :

    Right after he gets the governor of W. Virginia reduced to half his weight on The Carnivore Diet. Bring Back MickeyD's Fries Cooked In Beef Tallow! (I actually love Bobby but he's kinda nuts.) strs

    Hard to believe you didn't detect any nuanced themes of assurance from it. Well, hardly hard, anyway. I'm going to go out on a limb here and speculate that 1 John 4 is not one of your favorite chapters in the Bible—especially verse 8? Heaven might be a really uncomfortable place for folks who...
