    Realistic Peace in Ukraine

    I agree that Ukraine is going to have to give up something. Eventually either the West is going to have to join the war (not likely) or the West is going to tire of financing Ukraine (more likely) or even worse, Ukraine runs out of men of fighting age and simply collapses. I would tell...

    Realistic Peace in Ukraine

    It is looking more and more that Ukraine is unwinnable for either side. It has basically turned in to WWI trench warfare except instead of artillery they are using drones. What is going to have to happen for the war to end?

    The Trump campaign is doing something smart

    They are sitting back and watching the Democrats fight. We've heard less out of Donald Trump in the past week than anytime I can remember. I bet there were planning on announcing the VP pick this week but decided to wait because they want to keep the "Will he or won't he step down" debate in...

    Best places to retire?

    We have a bunch of people moving to North Alabama in retirement. Several neighbors in my sub-division are retired and moved from out of state and several folks at church have moved from out of state after retiring. I asked them why (I'm shocked anyone would want to move to Alabama). One couple...

    Your Righteousness

    I think there are a few of reasons. 1. We can't fathom the idea of someone else paying our debt. As good as it sounds we just can't wrap our head around the idea of free unmerited grace. 2. We want to accomplish things for ourselves. We think that Christ isn't actually saving us, he gives...

    World War 3 escalates

    Because there is never a good reason to mistreat people, even if you have been mistreated. God created one race, the Human Race. Adam and Eve are all our parents. I believe there was not distinction in humans until after the Tower of Babel and that differences developed as people groups...

    World War 3 escalates

    In the 50's and 60's the contention was due to the fact that blacks were required to give up their seat to white people or couldn't eat at "whites only" restaurants. Segregation wasn't "separate but equal". It was separate and less than. Anyone is capable of racism and violence against...

    World War 3 escalates

    For anyone who is reading this thread. Here is the 1995 Resolution on Racial Reconciliation passed by the Southern Baptist Convention. It was passed by "messengers" from Southern Baptist churches from across the country, but the majority where from the southern states. Date: June 1, 1995...

    World War 3 escalates

    Your wrong about that. Telling a black man they can't eat in a restaurant because you are black is saying that your not as good as the people who can eat in the restaurant. Telling a black women she has to give up her seat to a white person is telling her that she doesn't have the worth or...

    World War 3 escalates

    What I'm saying is that my political views stem from my Christian worldview and not vice-versa. Segregation laws specifically and racism generally (thinking one race is greater than another) are antithetical to Christianity. Segregation laws and racism, no matter who is being racist, puts up...

    World War 3 escalates

    Just to be clear, my world view on race doesn't come from politics. It doesn't come from the KKK or the NAACP or any political organization. I believe that all people, every race, from every country, are made in the image of God and are worthy of respect. I believe we are all (all races and...

    World War 3 escalates

    I don't have the time or inclination. If you want to defend your position to me then do so. I grew up in a 98% white county in Alabama. I never heard of the NAACP until well into my teen years. However, I don't remember not knowing about the KKK. In elementary school I heard about Nathan...

    World War 3 escalates

    If you go look at post #22 you will see that I never claimed the Klan was racist. All I did was ask you if the Klan is racist. Your answer was "Yes, so what". Unless you can answer these other question from post #22 then it is time to end this conversation. What organization are or are not...

    Tonight's debate between Biden and Trump

    Apparently 75% of the country disagree with you and several prominent democrats have gone on record saying he should drop out after that terrible performance.

    Have you reduced the amount of Fast Food you eat due to cost?

    I usually eat Fast food for lunch once a week or so. A few weeks ago I went to Jersey Mikes subs and a sub, chips and drink was over $15. Last week I went to Burger King (don't judge me) and ordered a Big Fish sandwich and a small fries. Those two items were over $10. I've decided that...

    World War 3 escalates

    Sigh, you ignored what I said. "I do believe legislation pushed by the NAACP and liberals to attempt to overcome racism went to far and were actually racism against whites and other races as well" Are you not allowed to send direct messages in the private conversations on this site?

    Should Biden be the Democrat Nominee or Step Down?

    That is where I'm at in Alabama. Trump will win Alabama by at least 20%. If I was in a battleground state it would be a much more difficult decision. I have a lot of issues with Trump. Besides his personal demeanor there are his threats to use the power of the Presidency for retribution...

    World War 3 escalates

    Wow, you really like calling me a liar. The reason I want to know your age and where you live is that our age and culture have a bearing on our worldview. I'm in my mid 50's and was born, raised, and live in Alabama. I was a child in the 70's during the latter half of the height of the...
