Biblical Cosmology Modern or ancient, every culture operates within a certain cosmology or understanding of the universe. This cosmology sets the context of how a people understand their world and their place in it. With very few exceptions our modern day cosmology is shaped by the scientific...

Wrath is a serious human failing and yet we attribute it to a perfect God? The wrathful God of the Old Testament is the product of an unsophisticated people thinking very anthropomorphically --- envisioning their God along the lines of the typical Middle Eastern tyrant.

It is not often I meet a person who is not only a white supremacist and an American exceptionalist but also a Christian supremacist as well.

I don't know why the focus is on the UK when Canada is your greatest friend and staunchest ally. We are also so economically integrated that we cannot impose tariffs on each other without slicing our own throats as Trump found out.

6 January 2021 --- the Barbarians were at the Gates of the Citadel and now half of our defenders are saying "There is no fifth column. lets just ignore them and they'll go away." We may be eyewitnesses to the death throes of democracy in the United States of America.

The USA has a long history of broken treaties. Just ask any member of an indigenous nation.

A fairly large block of my fellow Christians have what could be called an entitlement mentality. For a great many centuries we Christians have had things our own way and have controlled society to such an extent that we have been able to impose our own agenda without challenge. However, when...

The closest thing in the USA to a "militia" of the sort envisioned by the constitution are the state National Guards.

When I quit my health improved as well. I recall getting a congratulatory letter from my employer that I had not taken sick day in 12 years whereas before I was taking 10 or more per year.

I am convinced that quitting smoking is mostly a head game and that once you've got your head in the right place you've already got it mostly beat. In 1985 I was 42 and had smoked for 25 years. I had attempted to stop smoking a number of times. I was able to handle it for up to a couple of...

To be clear, are you speaking of a military attack or of a political disagreement?

Moses had some tablets didn't he?

To be clear, I don't think that America sinks. Americans in general are a very hospitable people. If they sense that you do not share their opinion's, particularly political ones, they can turn on you. Canadians do tend to have strong opinions and generally are far better informed about the USA...
