    Should Christians believe in Karma?

    It depends on what context they use the word. My understanding is that in the strictest sense of the word karma is more about a cycle of reincarnation where you nominally earn your way through higher and higher life forms until you reach whatever stage where you no longer have to be...

    Social media networks

    Well, yes, you can do all sorts of things if you have a dozen accounts and nothing better to do with your time than host online meetings between them all. I'm not sure why you'd want to do that but, you know, you get to do whatever you want with your own time I guess. It seems only marginally...

    Wired or wireless

    I don't really care. The main reason to go wireless as far as I'm concerned is because it means one doodad to plug into the computer instead of two. In theory having a long range can be handy but you can only go so far from the computer screen before it becomes worthless because you can't see...

    Corporate Diversity

    Equity can be a propaganda word, some say it attempts to create equality of outcome rather than equality of opportunity. Even the term "equality" can be misused - if someone advocates for equality they might be seeking equal opportunities, equal outcomes or something else. If a population is 90%...

    Corporate Diversity

    The trouble with equality is that equality of opportunity isn't always as easy as it's made out to be. We start with the idea that "all men are created equal" but even that assumption is fatally flawed. The child born to a drug-addicted mother who continues to use drugs during her pregnancy is...

    Social media networks

    Er, OK.... It seems to make more sense to simply keep different groups separate to avoid cross contamination. Otherwise it just dumps the workload on the user to remember which account serves what purpose. Maybe a better answer is to dump monolithic sites like Facebook and go back to, oh...

    Transgender woman sues

    The question of where one person's rights end and another's begin will continue to rage where transgender issues are concerned. If a man is convicted of rape and subsequently decides to identify as female, does he get to be put in a women's prison? Does he get to be locked in a cell overnight...

    Social media networks

    Interesting, I didn't know you could do that. If it's not clear it seems like something I'd avoid anyway, given I'd rather not get things mixed between groups. A few times I've posted something intended for a group on my main page, and maybe had a few people wondering what I was talking about.

    Social media networks

    I'm not sure why you'd want to have multiple accounts to talk among themselves. One of Facebook's biggest drawbacks is the idea that a friend is a friend is a friend. It would be better to have circles of friends so you could group people who share similar common interests. Otherwise it turns...

    High School Reunion

    I never really saw the point of them, unless there was someone I lost touch with that I'd like to get back in touch with. Otherwise if I haven't been in contact with them for however many years it is I'm not really interested in spending an evening where everyone is showing off how good their...

    Obesity

    I think saying "obesity is a disease" as if it were that simple gives obese people a free pass to not change their lifestyle. I say that as one who was considered obese with a BMI only marginally under the level to be considered morbidly obese. There was nothing wrong with me aside from that...

    Kids & Sports

    Requiring kids to play a sport they hate seems like a good way to turn them off sports for life. The main thing I learned about playing soccer in school (not optional) was that the team could get on just fine without me and were probably better off without me. There are lots of situations where...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    First decent run in a few days because weather. The suggested workout was threshold intervals, which I ended up doing harder than suggested so the last one was pretty draining. I thought I was going to set a new mile PB during the first interval but then the hills arrived and put paid to that...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I've been having fun with pipes. I've got a very strange mixer setup feeding one of my bathrooms and even though the intentions behind it are clear the actual application of it is frustrating in the winter because it means the water in the shower barely goes above moderately warm. At some point...

    A second chance

    It's really hard to say how someone would react to a situation like that. It's like a lot of questions about self-defense - variations of "would you actually use a gun/bow/taser/whatever on an intruder/assailant" - my standard answer is that I hope I never find out.

    Who supplies the paper goods and plasticware?

    I'm not sure there really is a norm, it would be down to each individual church to set a policy if they feel it's required. For what it's worth our church has paperware that's available for use for church related functions. If you're hosting an outside function you're expected to provide your...

    Paying your house mortgage

    There was something I read a while ago about how if you have a mortgage outstanding the bank will keep documents relating to it (maybe the deeds) safe, and as soon as you pay it off the bank has no further interest so you have to deal with that. That particular article suggested getting your...

    Is this a contradiction?

    There's a difference in the level of metaphorical force in different ways of calling someone a fool. You may have come across the kind of silly "oops" situation where you get things muddled, and do something the wrong way round that's annoying at the time but funny even moments later. Maybe you...

    Religion in politics

    I get that they do it for show, I'm surprised that more people don't see through it. It's back to whether we'd rather have an honest atheist or a pretend Christian.
