We are speaking of a real situation that existed just a few hundred years ago when Europeans attempted to colonize lands that were already colonized. Mankind evolved in sub-Saharan Africa but in the last hundred thousand years has colonized the globe.

Infectious diseases usually spread more easier in areas with high population densities.

IF you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem. It is so very simple to mask, to distance and to sanitize compared to other national emergencies where much greater sacrifices had to be made.

Remember back when you got polio? Oops! Sorry! You were vaccinated.

Yes, they tend to make it a moral issue and simply assume that they hold the high ground.

In case you don't either ---- 1/4 pound = 4 ounces but 1/3 pound = 5 1/3 ounces

In 1970 Mcdonalds introduced the Quarter Pounder --- it was an immediate success. A&W countered with the Third Pounder for the same price --- it was a better burger but it flopped. Why? They said in essence "Why should I pay the same for a smaller burger?" Seems the American public doesn't...

A few years ago we spent a summer in Newfoundland. The seafood was great and served almost straight out of the water. Fish and chips in beer batter with salt and malt vinegar and tartar sauce for the fish.

Our oldest daughter is a vegetarian and her husband is a vegan. They are both dedicated to their lifestyle but it takes thought and planning. They do have a funny story that they tell on themselves. They had just completed a week long canoe trip in Northern Ontario and had just got back to the...

Butterscotch sundae, cherry cheesecake, blueberry pie ---- the list goes on. Do you have the time for all of it?

So you deny evidence when it doesn't agree with your preconceptions? And still speaking of marriage it is not the church who marries a couple it is the two loving people who actually marry each other. The church and/or the state serve as formal witnesses. Next month is our 45th wedding...

What is also curious is that the marriage rale is now well less than half of 1970. Add to that the fact that divorce rates are higher among fundamentalist and evangelical Christians than in mainstream churches and atheists have the lowest divorce rate of all.

I agree with most of what you say in your post above. Isaiah 14:12 ”How you have fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!” There is a very common perception that the 'Lucifer' in this verse refers to Satan, the...

When a marriage ends only the couple themselves can make a judgement on that. My first marriage ended 49 years ago when she ran off with another man. That was kaput, final, finis, over. Next month my second marriage will be 45 years. Divorce was the only solution. The Bible presents an ideal...

Genesis 30:37 Jacob, however, took fresh-cut branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white stripes on them by peeling the bark and exposing the white inner wood of the branches. 38 Then he placed the peeled branches in all the watering troughs, so that they would be directly in...

I am not at all sure about evil existing just because "God permits it". I believe evil exists because we permit it. If we shrug our shoulders and do nothing because "God permits it" then evil will continue unabated. Who is to blame God or us?
