As a child, I switched schools between the USA and a colony that was still under British rule. The American school stopped the pledge allegiance because it mentioned God, and the British run school started every day with group prayer. I know I don't know what the "truth" is, but in my formal...

I knew it was not directed solely at me. I just wanted to point out that people choosing the same action cannot all be lumped together as doing the action for the same reason. These are complicated times. I am not anti-vaccination. I think a lot of people did their best to create the best...

I'm not saying any of those things, just like I don't prefer the KJV for the reasons I am accused of.

This also covers up the spread of Covid that is a result of vaccinated people getting sick from the vaccine and spreading it to the unvaccinated. I have a relative that chose to be vaccinated after a lot of research. He and his peer-group and co-workers were careful to all get immunized at the...

Faneuil Hall's Ties To Slavery Spark Debate In Boston Faneuil Hall's Ties To Slavery Spark Debate In Boston And this is the contradiction central to Faneuil Hall. The building has been a meeting place for revolutionaries and abolitionists. Frederick Douglass spoke here. But it's also a relic of...

Did the hospital that closed the maternity floor close their elective surgery department? Hospitals are playing games. They keep open the departments that make the most profit, and shut down the ones that make the least profit, and find a way to blame Covid. Before Covid, scapegoats were harder...

No one in Massachusetts is renaming buildings and taking down statues of the people that made money importing slaves.

Massachusetts played a leading role in the importation of slaves. Massachusetts does its best to cover that up. But if you dig a very shallow hole into any financial records, you are certain to be hit smack in the face with papers that show their profits. If profits were added up, did the north...

I sometimes think about what the history books are going to say about the 2020's. I used to think we could look to newspapers to report what the textbooks did not. I know firsthand that is not true now, and I now assume that is true of all the past. This whole pandemic and watching how people...

The frequent testing exemption is not always an option, and it is impractical and far more burdensome than protective.

Actually in some areas, Hispanics rose to the highest percentage vaccinated AFTER the vaccine was available to EVERYONE in their area, AFTER the whites all had their chance, first. When the vaccines first came out, the Hispanic communities were having some of the highest death rates, while...

Everyone deserves equal access to medicine. Sometimes medical neglect saves a person, though. I would likely be dead by now if I received the medical care that I clearly deserved. I could not afford the care, so it was denied, even though my condition was life threatening. Years late, I am...

The thing dissolving my trust in the recommendations is how many conditions are not being exempted. I think if those of us with chronic health problem do NOT have peace pursuing a vaccine, then we should not allow ourselves to be coerced into it. I am not for or against the vaccines in general...

Scarlett, I just saw this now. I don't know what to say. When my dad died, I was shocked at the feeling of being orphaned and untethered from something I could not name. It was very confusing. I had not seen him in a very long time and we were the opposite of close, but I still felt lost. It...

I started off really appreciating this article, but as I read further, I started getting uneasy, and then at the end came to this conclusion that I think is oversimplified. Either all the Christian scholars prior to 1830 have been wrong about the central teachings of the New Testament or else...

I was surprised too.

I voted "somewhat". There is a fairly wide spectrum of beliefs that fall under the umbrella of Dispensationalism, so I hesitate to define my beliefs by a term that is so wide. I agree that dispensationalism is not an essential doctrine. I believe that people are saved that believe it and also...

This is something that is not being fairly dealt with in the media, private discussions, workplaces and schools, and in the new laws about the vaccines. I can only hope at some point there will be an opportunity to individualize these life and death medical treatment plans, especially if these...

God is in control. God is there with us, always. We all die eventually. The passing is easier if we are not alone when it happens. Christians don't have suffer the passing alone, even if no other human is present at the time. God is there. God is in control. Life is hard. Life is scary. Being a...

Every time I start to write something, I delete it. I don't understand a lot. The more I know, the more I know that I do not know. I become more and more childlike as I interact with God and try to understand Him and the world that He made.
