You misunderstand me if you think that what I was doing was "applying one type of perception to another". The "hope" that I was referring to is the hope that I have for each individual but it is the rare individual who actually does repent. I'm …

I do try to be. I desire the salvation of those who I think have wronged me. I also try to "let go" of anything by which I might have gained if I had not been "wronged." There is a passage of Paul's first letter to Timothy which is (in my view) …

I'm sure that many of the "sayings" which I have quoted in my life meant something different when they were originally said than I intended them to mean. Almost every "pop" usage of a bible quotation is a distortion of the original meaning. When …

Actually on this particular story, Trump is probably being slandered. People assume that Trump meant that people would kill the looters but all he said is that when looting begins, shooting also begins which may not be 100% accurate but is not …

I find what is going on currently to be incongruous with the seat belt opposition. First Incongruity—Although your Dad may have felt that seat belts were useless many people who opposed the seat belt laws actually thought that seat belts were …

In the 1980s, many retail stores felt that they had to move into malls to survive. Downtowns began to wither. Now many malls sit vacant and some that are still open are nowhere near capacity. Nothing lasts forever. Many of the megacorps of my …

I might add another thought that although relevant is not really a refutation. The same thought process that is expressed in this post is the reason that many users will ignore a platform like Cake. This is the same kind of thought process that …

The idea that Google Reader was the only feed reader or that there are no good feed readers left is ludicrous. Also one can do things with newsfeeds that are not as easy to do with "platforms." https://www.pipes.digital/pipes Finally, a …

That is my point. Jesus said to the scholars of His day: "How can you believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that comes from God only." John 5:44

This is one of the biggest problems that I run into in teaching the Bible. People want certainty even when there is no certainty and will "appeal to authority" when the supposed authority is just just giving an opinion. Some passages are crystal …

Here are several philosophers trying to discuss the difference between animals and humans. http://existentialcomics.com/comic/242

If you look at the Cake subject "Bible" I'm sure that your uncertainty will be clarified. https://www.cake.co/topics/XDQ50RJ/bible

If one were to visit Washington, DC, one could find many elaborate memorials. If one is old enough to remember the mourning of JFK or the memorial for Princess Diana, one remembers a lot of pomp and circumstance. A common theme throughout the …

British Scientists are afraid that the rate of infection may subside too soon. It's a vaccine development issue. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/05/23/oxford-university-covid-19-vaccine-trial-has-50-per-cent-chance/ This story was also …

Rodgers was himself paraphrasing Samuel Clemens. In 1897, Samuel Clemens wrote a note refuting a false news report which had stated that he was dead. > "I can understand perfectly how the report of my illness got about, I have even heard on good …

This is such a basic question that I hesitate to ask it, but do you have a gray card? If not, you'll need one to get the color balance right.

I just read a version of that same news story from the Miami Herald a few minutes ago. I'm somewhat skeptical. All that the Miami Herald stated in support of her assertions was that on May 5th after having been removed from her involvement …

I love my Yeti, but get a pop filter.

In my "worldview," love is a verb not a mere emotion. When a parent has a baby that is chronically sick at night, the parent may not get enough sleep and their body may feel miserable (headaches and stress symptoms). But many parents continue to …

I have been aware of Lincoln project for quite some time. I no longer take part in politics even though I remain interested in the way in which people's values and convictions affect the political environment of the USA.

Denise, This is a "Dog bites man" kind of story. When a magazine like National Review takes pot shots at a GOP president that is much more "interesting" than the Atlantic taking pot shots at a GOP president. Conversely, the National Review …

You need to contact Apple about that issue, ASAP.

Mental stability and lack thereof can be analogous to a record player or any mechanism for playing external media. I'll use a record player but this could equally be used with a DVD player. The machine might be damaged The record might be …
