I dunno. It looks like I was on-topic, but I apologize if I misunderstood. 😕

But can't we agree that unless there are only three churches in town, for example, it can be a very arduous task to personally observe every available congregation in action??? A good website helps both the congregation and the inquirer/new resident/new Christian...even if it cannot answer every...

Turns out, I should have double checked the technicalities of this project. While it may wind up being something that only a Constitutional Amendment could authorize, that would be up to the courts. The proposal at present is for a sufficient number of states to sign on, by law, to this concept...

A proposed amendment to the national constitution is slowly making its way toward passage.** In fact, it has been creeping in that direction for some years now. Known as the National Popular Vote Compact, it would require the winning candidate's electors in any state to vote in the Electoral...

Well, you invited readers to answer the question you put to us about Trump's choice of words and your own opinion about that. Anyway, you then felt the need to answer back to my reply. As a result, I had to explain my own point in more detail. It's very close to the same one that everybody...

Your post may remind readers that Tipper and Vice President Al Gore reported the grand total of $353 in charitable contributions made by them in one of the years just prior to his run for the presidency in 2000. That, on an income of approximately $197,000.

Yes. And when I see that, I can't avoid wondering why someone who is merely looking for a church to join, or somewhere to worship while in town, or is curious about something they've heard concerning the teachings of a certain denomination would be attracted by a website like that. (?)

Well, others here noticed your mistake before I did. While injury and death are not beautiful by one sense of the word, have you never heard of someone being described as "a beautiful person inside" or some other version of those sentiments? Bloody guts would not be considered artistic or...

So, out of the whole range of Trump's comments about Gettysburg, you're upset over a single word that can have a variety of meanings? 🤨

I thought of that as I was reading some of these websites, but it's only the "worst" of them that I had in mind. I remember one that was the home page of a small denomination and all that was on the page was a paragraph identifying the denomination, with contact address, and an appeal for...

Prominent appeals for donations, sometimes complete with Paypal instructions and the like. I have to assume that current members of the church/congregation already know this information while "seekers" want other information first, even if they also realize that joining any church will include...

I'm always surprised to have looked up some congregation and found there's no street address or map shown anywhere. It's as though they think a phrase like "In Downtown Pleasantville" or "Serving the Bryant Hill neighborhood" is sufficient.

True enough. Well, now you're just substituting your own sense of what's moral (a sense that was derived from the thinking of other humans) for that of the Creator God. What then is the argument for replacing a superior standard with an inferior one? God, whom you admit is omnipotent, DID...

I think that a lot of people don't understand what "Separation of Church and State" means. In short, it does not mean that there can be no mention of anything religious whenever and wherever elected officials or government functions are concerned.

All right, but I was thinking of the situation with sidewalks and similar high-visibility locations that have become a well-publicized problem--the kind of thing that "Forgiven 1" witnessed in Albuquerque.

It's hard to believe that the public sidewalk is the only option for these people. As was already noted, there are many homeless encampments in other cities, and they are in areas of town, including the downtown, where the public hardly notices their presence. But of course those homeless...

His appointments to the Supreme Court did make possible the end of a nationwide requirement that abortion at any stage of pregnancy be permitted. So, to that extent, it's true that he did something right in that respect. Now it's up to the states to adopt their own standards. To Pro-Life...

Soooooo...a person should have a "right" to enlist a doctor in order to kill another person, just so long as it's a baby in the womb; but there shouldn't be a "right" to do what you want with your own body if it's to choose to have a doctor kill you instead of someone else? There seems to be...

It's kinda neat, I'd say. However, I am amazed at the projected number of people who are going to travel many miles and have room reservations, etc. all supposedly just in order to see the eclipse.

The youngest daughter of Czar Nicholas II, right? I was really sorry to learn of her passing. ;)
