    Why do you think Judas actually betrayed Jesus?

    Obviously the easy answer was that he was greedy but it has to be deeper than that right? He betrayed Jesus for only 30 pieces of silver which. Some scholars have proposed different interpretations, with the low end being around $90 and the high end being closer to $450. Thats how much he sold...

    Society as a whole has a deep hatred for anything teenage girls like, why?

    I have come to the conclusion that people just automatically look down upon anything that has a mainly teenage girl demographic. Like yeah some of it can be a lil stupid but why do people get so riled up about it? Things like fan fiction, boybands, the movies they like. Things like Kpop or...

    Why America don't let their cashiers sit down?

    I notice in many countries in Europe, I’ll use Germany for example, in the grocery stores the cashiers are sitting down in a comfortable seat as they ring up the items. But in America the cashiers are standing up. I can’t imagine standing up 8 hours a day. All check out workers in the UK sit. I...

    What was the Right and/or Conservative stance on what happened with Ruby Ridge?

    I am going to assume you know what it is so I'll save time. As someone who is more central I always wanted to know where each side of the political spectrum fell with their opinions of this event. This happened a year before I was born and I've seen some docs about it but some either blame...

    What are your pros and cons to a ranked choice voting system?

    Ranked-choice voting is an electoral system that allows people to vote for multiple candidates, in order of preference. Instead of just choosing who you want to win, you fill out the ballot saying who is your first choice, second choice, or third choice (or more as needed) for each position...

    "If your friends told you to jump off a bridge would you" is a bad analogy that should stop being used.

    I understand why people say it but I think it's an extreme example. I remember back in middle school, we will always have to lineup before we get out of the building. I was first in line and someone asked me to open the door because it was hot. I did, the teacher then scolded me asking why I...

    Lack of nuance and increased tribalism when discussing politics

    Tribal and identify politics has infected and taken over the internet. To the point where it’s impossible to have any nuanced discussion about complex issues we face. If you find yourself saying “liberals always do Y” or “conservatives always do X” then congratulations you’re part of the...

    So Kanye "Ye" West has officially lost his mind more than you thought before, says Hitler was good

    Appearing on Info Wars this week, Ye spoke about his admiration for Hitler, saying how he loves Nazi's and yes using Christianity and the bible to justify his position. Goodness graces, he made Alex Jones look so sane and wanted this to end.

    Why are school shootings a sole unique American problem?

    Many blame guns (many Europeans countries allow access to guns yet none of this happens, many blame the people and mental healthy there is always something to blame but we never get to the actual root of the problem. Why does it happen in America at a much larger rate than the rest of the world?

    Why can't everyone in the world just be nice to each other?

    This is a legitimate question, why is it so hard for people to just be nice? Why do people have to be mean occasionally? I'm sorry if I don't live in the "real world" or you label me an idealist. But I never understood why people choose to be mean? And that is in all walks of life, in any...

    Something is going on with my dad, I fear he may be showing signs of dementia

    Long story short, he’s been normal in the past few days until today. Today he’s had moments where he forget stuff and act like everything is normal. I brushed it off at first but it got worse and got concerned. When I question him he gets annoyed. It got worse right now with him trying to sort...

    Anyone ever feels it's better to be asked than to participate?

    I personally hardly ever hang out with people. A lot of the times any of the activities my church acquaintances do I have no interest in. However it comes to a point where someone can become invincible and no one ever invites you to anything. When people do invite me I reeled honored, yes I know...
