    Various Moral Issues

    Does saying you disagree mean that you agree with the current system of justice? I see that you misunderstood the work situation, which would be monitored in the prisons as it is done now. The only permanent record I mentioned was that the criminal had been briefed regarding the rules of the...

    I appreciate your help with developing this idea. We might be amazed at how many so-called insane people would be helped by this program, but notice that I did include counseling as part of the regime. If they could not function in an efficiency cell, then a more restrictive environment could...

    Poem/Song

    Oh yeah, I see that everyone posts their songs on separate threads, which I am just now getting around to reading. I guess it would get unwieldy to combine on one thread--just like the discussions do!

    Various Moral Issues

    I think murder and rape are preceded by lesser crimes 99% of the time, at which time the person would be briefed/forewarned and entered in a national data base so that the next time would not be a lower penalty. The value of human life would be calculated by the courts, just as they do now...

    Secular Music

    Here is a secular song that I have composed: “Born to Lose” I loved a gal; her name was Sue. When she cried, she went “boo-hoo”. Nothing wrong with that I know, But she married my friend, Joe. Born to lose, but I don’t care; If I did, I’d have gray hair. Born to lose, but I don’t mind; May...

    Poem/Song

    [My final contribution. I had hoped others would post poems they had composed.] “Late Last Night” Late last night a young girl dreamed Her love would grow forever, Then a wise man, who from ages long ago seemed Took her to a state of never-never, And he told her everything he’d learned...

    Various Moral Issues

    I suggest a lower amount for first time offenders whose criminal record would state that they have been briefed on this system so they have one chance to reform. The amount would be the same for all who commit that crime and must be paid only from funds earned by working as I described. I...

    In your opinion do you believe world is about 6000 years old

    I am not sure whether you have discerned my affirmation of logic and science as ways that God reveals truth as well as in Scripture. And I am not sure whether I would want to rehash the Flood and Ark theories. Are you familiar with Streams of Civilization, by Creation-Life Publishers? So, I...

    Various Moral Issues

    If anyone has discussed this issue, I missed it, so I will share my suggestion. I would try to make justice as objective and speedy as possible by assessing a monetary restitution and identify the victim(s) for every crime, especially felonies such as murder. The punishment for people...

    Various Moral Issues

    I agree that it is a mental illness, because transgendering is impossible unless one can change out the X & Y chromosomes. I guess those who can afford to pay for medical experimentation should be free to do so, but NOT free to make those of us who are against it pay for it and NOT to force it...

    Various Moral Issues

    It seems to me that many of the birthists and conceptionists prefer to fight about the issue of abortion rather than try to solve it. I shared the above approach that combines Scripture, science and logic as a good way to proceed, but what do y'all think?

    Secular Music

    You list some good music. I wish the Classical radio stations would play more exciting symphonies instead of so much slow elevator stuff. Moody Blues reminds me of liking Nightwish upon being introduced to it by my son, and Deep Purple reminds me of liking Blackmore's Knight gypsy style of...

    In your opinion do you believe world is about 6000 years old

    Yes, because they do not respect what God has revealed in Creation (RM 1:20). The significance of Eden is not its location but rather its being the beginning of human God-consciousness and thus moral accountability and the blissful end in heaven for those who pass God's test and are permitted...

    Secular Music

    Regarding the BBs, I find a few Bible-compatible songs. I hear the reference to praying In My Room in connection with Jesus' instruction to pray in our closet. I had Wouldn't It Be Nice played at my wedding because it affirms waiting until marriage to become one flesh. And God Only Knows...

    Secular Music

    I enjoy the tunes in a variety of genres, although I find rap to be lacking in that regard although I can appreciate the rhyming techniques. However the lyrics can ruin a tune for me. For example I loved Tonight’s the Night when Rod Stewart first put it out but after awhile my conscience...

    Various Moral Issues

    If the Bible doesn't mention something at least in principle if not specifically, it might mean it is okay to do. But I think both ways of treating the Bible are right: The "engineering" helps us know what sin we are in the middle of!
