  1. Is there any guarantee that liberal Democratic presidents will be less warlike than RW Republican ones?

    I think there isn't any such guarantee, myself.

    I'm a a very leftwing Democrat today, but I remember as an 18-year old seeing Lyndon Johnson radically escalating US military actions in Vietnam,...
  2. To shrink the national debt, why doesn't the US impose a small financial transaction tax on Wall Street?

    As proposed by financial industry veterans with the Chicago Political Economy Group, a financial transaction tax or "Tobin tax" of only a fraction of a percent on the value of each Wall Street...
  3. YA conservatives and YA liberals - which is the more effective strategy for...

    ...boosting job creation? A. Cutting taxes for the rich, even at the cost of adding large amounts to the deficit and the US national debt?

    B. Not cutting taxes for the rich, and using the money...
  4. Does the controversy over the "mosque" near Ground Zero help or hurt the US

    military overseas? At least some conservative Republicans have concluded that the "mosque" controversy is hurting the US in its efforts to fight Al Qaeda overseas, and that it's probably helping Al...
  5. Why don't the 14 million jobless Americans today just stop whining and launch their

    own businesses? I guess this could be a little trick for people whose unemployment benefits have run out and who aren't earning any income. It could be a little difficult to launch your own company...

    If world war 3 did break out, it will probably end in under an hour. Nuclear bombs will wipe us all out

    Hmm. It's hard to explain, but I think in most cases, you can learn to stop your mind from doing this.

    I don't know what kind of "fearful thoughts" you're talking about, though.

    If you seem to...

  9. If you're arguing about religion with someone, is it OK to lie sometimes, just to

    make your side sound good? For example, if you really hate Christianity, is it a good idea to just accuse Christians of every possible sin you can think of, rather than focusing just on what they've...
  10. On the whole, does the Bible teach that government is usually evil -- usually a...

    ...bad thing? If so, where?

    If not, where?

    I get the feeling that some Christians have very strong beliefs on this subject, which for obvious reasons is also a concern for religious Jews.

    If...
  11. R&S Christians: If you "witness" for Jesus through good deeds, can atheists debate...

    ...you very easily? As opposed to coming back at you with snappy objections to Creationism and the idea of Hell, for example.
    Added Detail: I'm really asking this question of R&S Christians, not...
  12. It's a good question, and I think for a certain...

    It's a good question, and I think for a certain kind of literal-minded Christian, it may be unanswerable.

    I'm agnostic, have always wondered about that passage. It just seems like a nasty...
  13. If an R&S atheist & R&S Christian shared a leaky lifeboat, would they just argue...

    ...about God until it sank? Rather than, say, trying to cooperate in finding a way to fix the leak?

    Maybe this is a poor way to ask my question, though.

    I really wanted to ask about atheists...
  14. I can't, personally. I don't think "one" can,...

    I can't, personally.

    I don't think "one" can, either.
  15. Spiritually speaking, what do you prefer in politicians: openly gay lifestyle, or

    pretend heterosexuality? Of course many traditional people probably want all their political leaders to be heterosexuals; that's obvious.

    Given that some fairly prominent politicians & religious...
  16. What did St. Paul mean when he wrote, "There is neither Jew nor Greek," etc. etc?

    The full quotation is from Galatians 3:28:

    "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

    I'm...
  17. Spiritually speaking, can we preserve God's creation, ie the environment, yet

    provide jobs for everyone? If so, how?

    I ask this question partly because I'm an environmentalist, but partly because as a former Christian, I think we all have a moral duty & a practical need to...
  18. Is it best to risk a new world war, for fear that a strong UN would be a...

    ...platform for the Anti-Christ? Jesus taught, "blessed are the peacemakers," but are Christians supposed to be suspicious of every peacemaker, for fear of one-world government?

    Or alternatively,...
