How dementia is being defeated - Incidence among the elderly is falling fast

When Eric Stallard, an actuary and academic, began looking into the incidence of dementia among elderly Americans, he was so stunned by his findings that he held off publishing his first paper on the subject for two and a half years while he double-checked his work. “I wanted to…

Does Trump have an heir to take over MAGA when he's gone?

Do you think Trump has an heir apparent, or is it one of those things where no one in Washington dares talk about it for fear of reminding Trump of his mortality/term limits? I know the obvious answer is Vance, but Vance does not wield the same kind of fear and influence that Tr…

I'm a young person--the past few year has been the first time in my life where I've seen Americans overwhelmingly express sympathy for civilians instead of the military/the US. Is this signs of major change or a blip in the pan?

Most of what I remember about my early political education wrt the US and war, was spent attempting to justify most of the shit our military did. Where that wasn't applicable, we were taught to consider the feelings of individuals in the US military in unjust interventions/wars…

Homosexuality and Christianity

Hi, I’m a gay ICU nurse. I’ve spent the last couple of years guiding people to the other side. I’ve witnessed traumatic death and horrific suffering in the name of religion (not necessarily Christianity). I’ve thought a lot about the “abomination” that homosexuality is, but I wa…

I came across a conversation today between Christians who disagreed on doctrine, and honestly, it's been weighing on me ever since.

I won't go into the details because some of the things that were said were so hateful and explicit that I don't even want to repeat them. One person was told to my brother to kill themselves, along with other terrible insults. Reading it just brought me down. It made me ask myse…

Does evil today actually exist, or are these things just meaningless entertainment?

I've been thinking about this from a Christian perspective and would like to hear what others think. When I look at culture today, I see more and more dark symbolism being used in entertainment, music, movies, award shows, and even worldwide public events. Some people say it's j…

Church Hurt/How should I handle this?

Please be kind/gentle.. and bear with me, this is LONG. So back in April I interviewed for a job at my church. The church we go to I would consider a mini *mega church*. Like the music is a concert every Sunday (which we enjoy the music, that’s what has kept us there the longest…

How do you think things would have gone if Satan never rebelled?

Do you think Adam and Eve would have still sinned? (I know some people debate if the serpent in the garden is satan or not.) Do you think god would have still ended up sending Jesus? I know this is purely hypothetical. I guess what I'm wondering is what people think towards how…

Help me answer these questions for my son

My son is wayward. He’s not atheist but his faith in God is wavering. Sometimes he believes sometimes he doesn’t. It’s been something I’ve been praying on for a while. Today me and my son had a good conversation with me and he told me he just doesn’t believe in God. Then I asked…
