But it's homosexuality and abortion on demand that are being exalted. If you say anything uncomplimentary about homosexuality, they say you are a homophobe or Christo-Nazi.

And who does that labeling actually harm?  You?  Or the people doing the labeling.

They brand you as a homophobe because you do not accept their amoral position.    Who pays the price in the Hereafter?  Them, or you?

I find your choice of a handle offensive because you are not John the Baptist.

Well there is nothing wrong with having a poof fairy ideal once in a while. Note that I am not for or against this. But it is fun to think about how things would be. 

Based on what kind of reality?  America, as a nation was founded on the basic premise of "no taxation without representation." Our taxes fund Planned Parenthood, Welfare, Food Stamps, Housing, Affirmative Action, Illegal Aliens, and all manner of things that God finds reprehensible.  And all without representation from our government because they do not seek the opinion and wishes of the voting public before they institute these things.  Can you explain to me why that is acceptable?

I don't know? That really wasn't what my post what about.   My post was about "what could this extra money do for you." I think where the money comes from would be better answered in a political forum post.  This is more of a "what if" kind of topic. 

I know one thing it can't do:  Help any tax payer.  Because the only way this could be done is to raise taxes.  The government never gives anyone anything.  There is always a cost.

Someone emailed me encouraging me to familarize myself with an author named Richard Rohr and gave me a list of books he wanted me to read and discuss with him. He has read hundreds of Christian books and says these are his favorite four of all time. Has anyone heard of Rohr or any of these books?:

Breathing Under Water', 'Things Hidden' and 'Great Themes of St Paul' by Rohr .

This person also recommended    'The Great Spiritual Migration' by Brian McLaren.

 

 

Richard Rohr is all kinds of messed-up.  He is a Big-Time supporter of Soulforce which is a militant homosexual group in support of the LGBTQ movement.

Brian McLaren is a guru of the Emergent Church, so no one who claims to be an orthodox Christian should be reading anything he writes, unless it is with the sole intention of using it in engaging in Apologetics to refute what he teaches..

Psalms 12:8 instructs us that the sons of men will exalt vileness. When I think of vileness, I think of homosexuality and abortion on demand. What about you?

Anything that is sin is vileness.  You cannot narrow it down to two things.  If you only speak out against 2 sins and fail to speak out against others, that, in and of itself is vileness.

This is not a political post.  There is this ideal that every adult citizen age 18 and older, gets $1000.00 a month as a basic living wage.  So for fun. Lets just say that this happens. Your an adult and you get a 1000.00 every month.  Say the fist Monday of every month the check comes or gets deposited into your account. How would this change your life? What would you do with the money?  For myself I would not have so much worry about making the rent payment each month. Having a 1000.00 a month could cover that. I would also feel some reassurance in knowing that if worked slowed down, I would at less have something coming in to cover basic living.  So what are your thoughts? How would having a guarantee $1000.00 a month effect your life?    And again. Not political. Cause then the thread will get ban or moved and no one will have any fun. 

 

Okay to get things moving along. Lets say you get a 1000.00 a month along with any pay that you earn from your job.  

As someone already asked, and you never answered the question:

Where does the money come from?
