I'm sad to announce that I will begin closing the forum. The main reason is that there has not been enough business, and I'll explain more below. I've come to realize that discussions are the main business for forums. Since opening, I've had a low number of daily active users, and I believe...

I believe many Christians view the Jews and their state as being part of prophecy, and that leads to them always taking the side of Israel over the Arabs. I remember when I was a Christian, I also had this same feeling and thinking, and it made me think that Israel could do no wrong. But now...

Jesus said this in Matthew 5:27-28: 27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery. 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. For Discussion: 1. Is just the thought of something considered a sin? 2...

This is sort of an old question that I came across in my Christian days. Wanted to revisit it again. I'm curious of it there's any confirmed reports of someone's limbs (legs or arms) being restored after they were amputated or from being born that way. I hear about a lot of other types of...

What are your thoughts on this race? Seems that Trump and mainstream media network are watching closely. Found a forum where all of them took turns speaking at the same event!

The CEO of United Healthcare was killed, and some cheered it on. Charlie Kirk was recently assassinated and some cheered it on. Hundreds of Jews were killed and/or abducted in 2023 and some cheered. I question if this is increasing or are those cheering just getting more attention or focus on...

I've been listening to Senator Fetterman lately, and he's beginning to sound like an Independent. He's also been willing to go against his party on some issues. This is just a sample of his views that makes me see his Independent side... Start at 1:30 mark I don't care if he switches to...

One forum member outlined a moral framework that is very good and interesting: I wanted to explore this more in practical terms by asking one of the hardest questions relating to evil in the world. Let's consider this event that happened over the weekend - reported by CNN: Using the moral...

For several years, I've tried to explain the relationship between consciousness and the brain. I've recently settled on a safe and reasonable conclusion - one that isn't needlessly restrictive and that also fits the data. Today, I used Ai to aid in fleshing out my view, and I'll share some of...

I view American politics as being extremely toxic. I have many reasons for my view but I want to also open the floor to everyone else to chime in. Is American politics toxic? What causes or contributes to that toxic environment? Can the toxic environment be fixed? If so, how?

Following Charlie Kirk's death, many took to social media to condone or even celebrate his death. In response, conservative groups organized to dox and push for people to get fired for celebrating Kirk's death. Now I see reports all over the place of all types of people who are getting fired...

A week ago, a member created a cool discussion about the religious aspects of the movie Star Wars. Turned into a good discussion and found a lot of things to compare. In this thread, I want to discuss any political aspects of the Gospel narratives of Jesus's life and how that compares to...

Yesterday, Charlie Kirk, a young political activist, was shot dead during an event at a college campus. Motive is not fully confirmed, but given the circumstances and the target, it was likely an politically-motivated assassination. It really sucks and hope his family gets through this. But...

This is one of those big questions in life that probably every human wants an answer for - problem of evil. Here's how Google's search ai explains it: For Debate 1. Why does God allow evil? 2. Why do good people experience evil? 3. Some say God saved President Trump after an attempt on his...

Starting at 1:26 minute mark... "Suddenly the Democratic party is the one that supports defending illegal immigrants, defending gangbangers, defending rapists and criminals that are in our country" In my view, this is nothing more but partisan spin. Where I feel his sentiment is correct is...

It was brought to my attention that the my guideline on personal comments allowed for negative comments or critique of any of a person's actions or views. Here's the full guideline: That part in parenthesis and bold font only has to do with critiquing someone's debate tactics and views. It...

I've had a forum guideline in place to prevent members from dismissing a viewpoint on the grounds that it's opinion or not proven. The main reason for that guideline is because opinions can sometimes point to truth or gives clues to them, and I don't want skeptics to hinder open-mindedness...

Information like this is exactly what a lot of Independents crave. Why else would they distance themselves from the mainstream parties?! I will say that the show could've used some media clips showing examples of media bias, but either way, I thought the information wass important to know...
