I’m 16f and am a Christian. People can be so rude about being a Christian on this site.. it’s weird. I’m also waiting until marriage, and people seem to get mad about people making this decision for themselves which is strange. I’ve never told anyone that they have to live how I…

The header is a little rhetorical, but discussion is obviously invited nonetheless. I have seen nothing but blasphemous, blatantly ignorant rhetoric about the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit-even the Bible. I look at the tags of the commentators and think, "Okay, so obviously…

A pardon covers offenses against the United States. A pardon does not cover offenses committed against individual states in the United States nor does it cover offenses committed against foreign jurisdictions. If Mexico or another country, like Colombia after today's ICE killing…

I'm really confused why Republicans would delay announcing his passing or that hes on life support etc. Besides just political inertia, what advantage does that even give them? It appears that the KY law would lose if Beshear challenges it for the right to appoint a new interim…

For her protection, I obviously won't be disclosing any major details. I can't believe I'm even in this situation but I could really use some prayers or some further advice. I have offered indefinite sanctuary to a friend and coworker of mine. She's a Syrian immigrant here on a…
