I mean what kinda Dad does that - hey fellas, leave these 2 “malachs” alone. You can instead gangrape my 2 daughters. Would you do that? Would any human do that? Or perhaps was he trying to prevent something bigger coz Lot is in the know. The men mating with the celestial visito…

I am a virgin guy and a Christian, and I want to get married one day—but completely without sex. The entire thought of sex honestly disgusts and bores me. I just don't see the point of it, and I find anatomy like the vagina completely unappealing. However, I still want a romanti…

Who proved that Lot's wife actually looked back? The text says she looked back and became a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26), but who witnessed it? Lot and his daughters were fleeing for their lives. Did they see her turn around? Did God later reveal what happened? Was the narrato…

Why did God want it, what significance does it have, and does God still want it? It has always just seemed to be a weird thing to me.

Who don’t want to discuss America’s role in the world? I’m thinking about putting together a small group where we get together once a month over drinks after reading a few curated articles on foreign policy and discussing the debates of US foreign policy. Is this something peopl…

Hope everyone is great! Just throwing a head-scratcher to get your thoughts. I mean no disrespect, just thinking out loud. The Bible says God knows everything (1 John 3:20). Logically, if God knows all and has absolute control, you’d expect him to be totally detached. Yet, from…

So I'm wanting to know a couple of things for St Micheal. Ive felt compelled to "work" with him and I want to know what I'd need for his altar for veneration. I know that some use candles, prayer, and wear necklaces but I'd like to know anything else I can do to make said alatar…

The caanaites, why killed so violently rather than less so? assuming they need to be killed, which I would assume because they were killed. (Baby’s, children, and non human animals) If they would have continued the culture, then why not simply move them away from that culture an…
