    What size church do you prefer?

    Having been a part of large churches, and one that is technically verging on "mega" I have found that if one desires to be active and reach out to the pastor and leaders one can be as close to the "inside group" as you want, but one must take the initiative to be active. Compared to a small...

    What size church do you prefer?

    Medium to large. I don't particularly care for churches with less than 75 people, too much care, maintenance, and work ends up on the shoulders of the congregation. I also find children's programs in very small churches to be sorely lacking or non-existent. Usually if you have a suggestion for...

    The canon of Scripture

    I am confident that it was meant as a joke, did you read "Myth #2"? Just as no one thinks God sent an email, no one thinks that Jesus told Peter about the books to include.

    Do you like self-checkout?

    I can't speak for all retail, but the ones we use are all tied into the same CCTV system, just another camera on the network. The ones not in the actual cash wrap have even less resolution to see a CC#, they are just too far away. Their main purpose is to see people and to see if someone is...

    Do you like self-checkout?

    Hey, no worries if you want to be more cautious . :) But really, I sell these cameras and systems, they really can't see the number on the card, they just don't have that resolution unless you held it very close to the lens.

    Do you like self-checkout?

    No, they don't capture that information nor store it, it would violate PCI data standards and the stores would be in major hot water with the credit card companies. Capturing an image of a shopper is what the above cameras are used for, but the resolution is not anywhere near good enough to...

    Do you like self-checkout?

    Yeah, Walmart checks some bags here, but it seems random to also include people that check out with a employee and not just self checkout. The grocery store has never checked, although they have one employee there for help and to watch over the 4 units at all times. Most of the new self...

    Do you like self-checkout?

    Yeah, the bag thing used to be a real problem. I have not experienced it in the last year, however. I use the self checkout at the local grocery pretty frequently and the system there has never had that problem, they installed it around a year or so ago.

    Do you like self-checkout?

    Love it for a few things, hate it for a basket full. I have parked, walked into the store, and got back into my car with the same song still playing on the radio - not possible with a human checkout. Also, generally they can fit 4 self checkout lanes in the space taken up by one or two staffed...

    Transgender Rights

    I will respect any "transgender" person the same way I will show respect to anyone. On the flip side I will also choose to not associate with people that make me uncomfortable or that I find strange, which is a category that the few transgender people I have interacted with fall into. I can...

    Biden's tripping incidents

    None are running....but that does not mean the party can't replace him on the ticket if they want to. He could drop out and the party can put up a replacement without going through the whole primary cycle as long as they do it before September 8th 2024 (later if they don't care about the ballots...

    Adultery

    It entirely would depend on the situation and if my partner were apologetic and genuinely wanted to fix things. Often when one partner commits adultery there is more wrong with the relationship that needs to be sorted out. My first marriage ended in divorce due to adultery on my ex's part, she...

    Even Protestantism as a whole will declare someone heretical if they teach things that are against the Creeds, even if they are not a creedal church. The truth is that a LOT of Protestantism has an issue using the term Theotokos or God Bearer, often it is a reactionary response to how they see...

    Agree, while I don't agree with all of his theology or his points of view, I definitely don't think he is a heretic - that is strong language to accuse him with and should not be thrown around lightly.

    Broadly I am not really a fan of MacArthur or Reformed theology. That said, I am not sure really what he means, I tend to think that he does not intend to stray into heresy, but I don't know him or his positions well enough to really say. While it is not a term I use frequently, I also don't...

    I am well aware, I "crossed the Tiber" and was Catholic for close to 15 years. I do not think that it is "always being crossed", and I certainly don't think " all Catholics worship Mary either knowingly or unknowingly" and I absolutely don't think that the RCC is a "demonic institution". I loved...
