    Anyone here have a happy marriage after adultery?

    What a terrible situation. I'm very sorry to hear it. If both of you have faith in God's regenerative power, you will be okay. Also, take your so-called friend to the Magistrate in the Shire in which he dwells. If the judge determines he is guilty after a quick trial, the cares of the world...

    ku klux klan

    That is a decent assessment of their second incarnation. It's difficult to classify the KKK as historically Right Wing when it was supported or joined by the likes of Woodrow Wilson and Robert C. Byrd. So yes, they served a similar purpose to Antifa without a direct lineage.

The early 20th century incarnation is the best-known today. The early 21st century incarnation is mostly drunks and federal agents (sometimes...

    how do texts in KJV compare to other translations that were done before it?

    It is another refinement of the Bible in English. It is probably the most culturally influential translation and certainly the prettiest.

    I always thought it was easy.

    “Covenant Marriage” trend

    It's pretty simple. Marriage is a temporal social institution. If you're single on earth, you're not somehow considered married in Heaven. That would be an odd sort of legalism. Us Christians can be so silly.

    Why Are Women Expected to be the Gatekeepers of Virginity?

    Proof positive that women think of things more relationally than men do. The world is too liberal. Even when he says nonsense, it's at least a kind of nonsense that gives things ultimate balance. He doesn't fill some sort of gravitational need of mine.

    Why Are Women Expected to be the Gatekeepers of Virginity?

    Women assume more risk with sexual activity on multiple levels. So they were naturally more buttoned-up/guarded for eons. If you wanted to prevent out-of-wedlock births, the easiest and shortest route would be to teach women sexual virtue. They were already more likely to practice it than men...

    Dating a non believer and it’s challenges

    They're not for you

    You don't understand what modern conservatism is. I say this as a non-conservative. Pick up The Conservative Sensibility by George Will. Read it. Have your disagreements with it, but stop posting this under-informed nonsense.

    They're not for you

    Okay, let's go one by one here. , This does stand up to scrutiny, but I would say this is true of our entire culture. Rather like saying a part of the sky is blue. Some conservatives would agree with you on this point. To the contrary, most conservatives believe charity is a function of...

    Why are they recalling Newsom?

    Will be interesting to see what happens. Newsom pulled a pretty good strategy by making the recall more about Elder than about him. Polling-wise, Newsom has been rallying for a while, but took a small dive the last few days. Momentum tends to indicate deeper trends. Tl;dr, I wouldn't bet...

    What Makes a Woman "A Lady"?

    Margaret Thatcher said being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to say you are, you are not.

    What Makes a Woman "A Lady"?

    Yes, but ladies are ideally wives just as gentlemen are ideally husbands. Deviation from this standard is just another brand of soft-headed modernism. I say this as an unmarried man.
