I'm bone-weary of older folks (read: Boomers) complaining about 'those younger generations'. Old people have been complaining about youngsters for millennia. It is just part of the human condition. True. And yet irrelevant to the OP, which actually discusses differences between the religious and th...

Teen births with gen Z were a fraction of what they were with Gen X or Boomers. Therefore, the more people come unto Christ, the more teenagers get pregnant. Ipso facto, abracadabra. Stu! How have you been, brother? About the stats above, I think you may want to reread them. They don't compare gene...

Family members, even if they have had leadership callings, would have absolutely no access to your membership records.

A trouble with making such a test in this case is: 1) domain experts don't widely agree even that libertarian free will is ruled out by arguments such as Sam Harris's; and 2) there are other defi...

On how I see grace, there's so much to say that it's hard to know where to begin. One thing I would say is that everything is grace. Given that I didn't create myself, the world, other people, goodness itself, all the good things and enjoyments of life, all of these come to me as sheer grace. What c...

Adding to the simple example of mercy above, the way I conceive of Grace is Compassion. Jesus ostensibly felt compassion for humanity, as did God, and they taught humans through word and deed to level up our compassion for one another. If there’s one unifying principle we’ll need to achieve ‘heaven...

One question on which I think we can all agree is that Ms. Nobody, despite disagreeing with almost everyone else on this forum in her religious beliefs, is a model of kindness and etiquette.
