    Medical marijuana

    Actually, I wasn't the one who brought up the subject of fentanyl-laced marijuana. The member who did introduce it almost immediately wanted to avoid the topic. But-- The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that the rates of overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids, which includes...

    Medical marijuana

    Because it's an epidemic? But I think my persistence, if that is what it was, is related more to the lighthearted attitude exhibited here to the widespread (and increasing) use of a drug that is harmful. A more balanced response to the introduction of this topic is what I had expected.

    Medical marijuana

    Okay. You don't see how what's happening can possibly be happening. That takes care of that. You were talking about it. Maybe you've just forgotten why you brought it up. In a theoretical world, perhaps. In this one, no.

    Ron DeSantis Making it official

    He doesn't swallow the slings and arrows directed at him by people he's helped, I know, and maybe that is a failing on his part. Trump is sarcastic...and that can be irritating to people who, on the other hand, admire pols who prefer to call their opponents Nazis and "Russian assets" or the...

    Ron DeSantis Making it official

    Now you've got my curiosity up. Is it Trump being the only president in recent memory not to get us into a new foreign war, or him having forced a re-negotiation of the Mexico-Canada-USA trade agreement (NAFTA) to our benefit, or his tireless efforts at securing the southern border, or maybe his...

    Ron DeSantis Making it official

    Probably not, but as many observers have said, some of the candidates in this race really are attempting to look promising enough to be chosen as the VP nominee. That's probably right. Still, the campaign season has become longer and longer lately. I remember when announcing in December of the...

    I'm sorry to have anyone 'sit it out,' but your assessment of the candidates' chances seems solid.

    Medical marijuana

    However, in places where the stuff has been legalized, it's the illegal, "black market," that has really profited. Tens of thousands are still dying from fentanyl--many more than before marijuana was legalized. That's always the argument. Too bad that reality tells a different story.

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Yes. And I already told you that your interpretation of the verse is in error.

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    In Ephesians 1:4, the reference is to all the members of Christ's Church, without distinction.

    Medical marijuana

    Well, I expect that it's a question whether the benefit outweighs the drawbacks. I'm not sure that it does--which is just about what I said in the beginning in response to the idea that of course smoking this weed is a good idea. Like increased deaths and/or loss of memory. How long do I have...

    That's what I'd think. Here's what you wrote and to which I was referring--

    Republican jockeying for Primary season is upon us.

    That's a certainty. They're currently working on getting Justice Clarence Thomas off the Supreme Court, although he was for years the only black member of the court. And what's his offense? Oh, his wife has expressed some political POVs that they don't care for, and he has a close friend who...

    Medical marijuana

    Perhaps, but I didn't notice anything in the earlier replies that identified any of them in this case. Your first answer was to the effect that if it exists it must be good 'cause God didn't create junk. And your second thought was to the effect that prohibition isn't good so long as people...

    Medical marijuana

    Sure, but just as Stravinsk's reply missed the point, two wrongs don't make a right; and, further, the question here asked if we should support or oppose legalized medical MJ. My reply did not answer the question with an absolute "yes" or "no," but pointed out that the too-easy but popular...

    Medical marijuana

    Had you initially intended to respond to something I wrote??? and you think you have to use a false dichotomy in order to do so?? NOW we have something we can agree on. "The world is full of dumb."

    Medical marijuana

    Well, because the drug has harmful effects, as well as calming ones. I'm not saying that medical marijuana should be banned for that reason, and that's because a doctor presumably will not prescribe it for people who don't need it, but if the question is simply an 'up or down' one, there is a...

    Lutherans: Holy Communion

    I agree. as expected. Okay. Unfortunately. Interesting! Now you have me. Thank you, Josiah. Now I'll have to take at least a quick look. ;)

    REDEMPTION/ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    Correct. Too many people are looking at the word "elect" and immediately thinking of Calvin's interpretation (and that of other Calvinists) of that term. In reality, verse after verse uses it to mean those people who are believers in Christ as distinct from people who are unbelievers.

    Lutherans: Holy Communion

    Hooray for renewed activity in the theology section of CH, but the first minute and a half of this 40 minutes "video" seems to present a shotgun of ideas about the Eucharist, making me not want to stay with it for the next 38 minutes. I know that what follows might be terrific, but would you be...
