    Do you believe that God may also be using secular artists?

    Two things: 1. Understanding even debased, modern art is important as it is a pretty good indicator of where culture is going. Just engage it clinically and with discernment. I listen to songs I despise just to know what the elites are trying to force on our kids and what to make of the total...

    What are Your Thoughts About Financially Independent Women?

    I think it's more two things: 1. We're anglophones. We are going to follow most every big figure in anglophonic culture. We still have towns, cities, and states named after regal figures. 2. Americans worship celebrities. The Windsors have been a celebrity family since Edward VIII had his...

    Games and such

    Hahaha. Soooooo true. Back in the day, I always had a pidgey/pidgeoto/pidgeot in the party. Named them after WWII aces or planes. Never faced the elite 4 without them.

    Do Support Groups and Resources Really Help, or Do They Just Make People Worse?

    Depends on the support group. Some of them are great. Others are just cults.

    Steven Anderson is wrong - Sodomites can still be saved.

    The assertion that I do not leave the decision to God. This is tiresome. I have nothing more to add than what I have already written.

    Steven Anderson is wrong - Sodomites can still be saved.

    My quote, in fact, disproves your assertion.

    Steven Anderson is wrong - Sodomites can still be saved.

    Where did I make the argument it wasn't God's decision?

    Steven Anderson is wrong - Sodomites can still be saved.

    poll Who can openly admit to being mean sometimes

    I'm mean sometimes, yes. So is God. It's fine to be mean when the circumstances require it.

    Not sure what to do. I don't fit in any church.

    Part of being a member of a church is participating in the Church community. This doesn't sound like mere introversion. There are a lot of introverts who handle greetings well. There are also many introverts who revel in worship (my brother is one of them). Please don't take this the wrong...
