    Started shaky, proceeded steadily, fell of a cliff at 24:30. What's presented is not new. Religions have presented themselves as a source of Truth on every single question. For the questions where we have found a non-religous approach religious answers have failed to measure up. Worse yet, there is absolutely no difference in how religions produce the answers we can check and answrs we don't. Religious leaders assert that whatever they say is Truth and that's that. I truly emphasize with the position that leaves religious people in and I have no guidance to offer in their search for a purpose. The one thing I know it can not be, in a any society not controlled by religious dogma, is a source of Truth. However since Truth is what religion deal with it is also not equiped to inform us matters of it's little cousin, probabilistic truth, much less in matters where a single answer may not exist in the first place. We have been through cycle after cycle of religion providing authoritive answers without verifiable prevenance. It's a dead end and limiting this time to questions there's no right answer will not change that. Identifying wrong answers for questions of, for example, purpose is almost trivial in any open society and the rise of nones is should be clear in this regard. People have considered the answers handed down in and interpreted from various scriptures and have come out devoid of purpose for themselves. Let it go.

    Yuck. There is a good reason that God says women should not preach over men, or the church. She has an lgbtqia2+ child. Now she preaches the rainbow gospel. She says that the Bible teaches us not a thing about morality. Where God says that homosexuality is the most abhorrent thing, father Lilian says that is no longer relavent. She says that the Bible is confusing

    People know it happened, but it is being used to blame white people, and we should have some border laws. It's not racist to have reasonable border laws. This woman is most likely hateful and is the product of the politically driven and divisive educational system. The system as a whole wants us divided. I have no issue with real history being taught, but I do have issues with the way its taught. Human beings throughout history have been brutal to each other, including natives

    Well I found this interview 4 years late after watching some fun Gordon Keith interviews. I respect Gordon Keith for being clearly intelligent, and I found this video compelling because he was able to articulate some of the issues I have had with religious belief over logical thinking (the futility of seeking proof, as he puts it). I also appreciated the commentary on trying to fulfill a creature that cannot be fulfilled with material goods (the self). Thanks for posting this.

This shows me the staff do not want to meet the homeless or help them. This shows me the staff of mdha, have no interest in the homeless. Mdha doesn't want to have any interaction with the homeless. I can't believe when I call the main number, there aren't any numbers to reach any staff member. I can't believe, the homeless aren't able to talk to any staff members for mdha The whole staff needs to go.

    I have the book by Beth Allison Barr and find it helpful and informative. Really appreciate the research she put into it. I do take exception to the remarks about Donald Trump, however, because he is definitely not the misogynistic male she bemoans, though he may have been at one time, as are many young men ruled by their hormones. But just as l have changed so much over the years and just as BA Barr and her husband have changed their attitudes, so has President Trump. I refer to the article below that lists all of the women he appointed as judges, heads of departments, and many other prominent roles, which a truly misogynistic male would never do in a million years! Also the other option was Hillary, an abortion champion and an outright hater of all conservatives. Shrill, hateful to everySo the choice was clear as to who would be the best leader, and he was a very good president. However, once again now we are subjected to leftwing leadership, embroiled in a war that’s not our business, record inflation and out of control gasoline prices. This makes everything so hard on single mothers that l cannot imagine why any woman would ever vote for a democrat. They do not champion women’s rights. Actually, only the bible does that in any long lasting and meaningful way, as Beth so intelligently points out, but women always fare better with a conservative at the helm. www.forbes.com/sites/roslynlayton/2019/06/29/hundreds-of-women-have-lead-roles-in-the-trump-administration-45-more-await-senate-confirmation/?sh=6fcbbfd3250e

    Michael the Arc Angel Hi and God bless…….Michael is an arc angel which means leader Michael is the leader of the warrior angels in heaven that’s why in the book of Daniel it took Michael to get to Gabriel Michael’s name means like God because he is Gods authority to fight as if he were God with Gods army that’s all that means it has nothing to do with Jesus. Michael as stated in the book of Daniel is one of the princess one of the archangels. In the book of Jude… Michael the archangel said the “Lord God rebuke you Satan” Jesus rebuked Satan directly himself read it in the New Testament and see the difference between the two Gabriel is an archangel he is the leader of the Messenger angels Satan was an archangel he was a cherub created angel who was in charge of the worship angels that’s why they’re called morning star’s in the book of Job because that was satans name and his job……In the book of Ezekiel chapter 28 it tells you exactly what Satan looked like… how God created him he was covered in settings snd gemstones and had built in bag pipes when He fell 30% of his worship angels went with him. I’m almost 60 I’m a Christian I am not a Jehovah’s Witness I’m not a Seventh-day Adventist I’m not a Mormon I’m not a Catholic and I am not of the Islam we do not consider these religions to be Christians. I’ve I listened to churches who came 1800 years after Jesus’s church who think they can teach It’s about our own church, pretty funny huh Jesus Christ started his church the true church and I’m not talking about the Catholics I’m talking about Christian Church the first church who also survived when the Catholics infiltrated our church in 451 and took half of it over???? Did you ever study this? the Catholics did not take over the full Christian church where did the Christian church go???? and how did God protect his church????? your religion teaches you that there was a full apostasy when there never was….Another of the devils lies We survived the pagan infiltration… the heresies…..the Catholic Church infiltrating and taking half of our church…. we’ve survived all that…….As Jesus predicted in his parable of the wheat and the tares…. we’re still here and we are not going anywhere until Jesus comes back for us. Jesus said in the parable of the wheat and the tares that his wheat would never die are you calling Jesus a liar??? Jesus also said let all the false religions (tares) grow with my wheat that I planted I’ll separate them when I come. Are you saying that the mustard seed didn’t grow??? The leaven didn’t rise??? if you say this you’re calling Jesus a liar? Jesus further told Peter on this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail again Jesus is not a liar????? So for seventh day Adventist… Jehovah witnesses….. Mormons and even Islam and a any other religion who says that there was a full apostasy of Jesus’s church…… I do believe Jesus would call you…. the liar….. As he often called Satan a liar, a murder and a thief in the New Testament. You are worshiping a dead false God with a created Savior that you claim to be an angel when in fact the old testament clearly tells you that only God the God Almighty himself is the savior of the world please wake up!!!!!!!!read the Bible everything that I’ve just told you is actually printed in the Bible but your religions ignore it because if you were to preach what is in the Bible…..you couldn’t believe in what you believe Ellen White….Joseph Smith….. Mohammed….. and Charles Russell who started the Jehovah witnesses were just men and women who were Tricked by the devil…….. Don’t you think it’s kind of funny that you all believe the same thing that Jesus was Michael the archangel what a joke
