Taxing income was considered (and still is by many) a very close first cousin to slavery.

People like to gather with like minded people. We feel safe with others who think alike, believe as we believe, value what we value. I'm not sure, if your guild is 100% professing Christians, that you will bring any of them to Lord. Having a "Christian" guild is good for the spirit for where...

In my mind it comes down to IF the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are one and the same and yet three separate, how is it that only the Father knows certain things that the others do not? Is it a choice that God the son Jesus does not know the timing of the second coming? IF God can choose...

Most of the worlds banks are headquartered in the Cayman Islands, alot of very wealthy people funnel investment funds through tax havens, a past Finance Minister (the Minister in charge of the Canadian Budget and tax rates) registered his shipping company in Barbodos to avoid Canadian tax. I...

The billionaire says: I paid $300,000,000 in taxes, I created 1000x the jobs the person who made 100,000 this year, they all paid taxes...I'm entitled to a little favor....and if I don't get it, I'll leave this country, make a billion somewhere else, employ thousands if not 10's of thousands of...

The way I see it is, God plants seeds of who he is into all of us. The reason why I am able to simultaneously process multiple streams of possible outcomes to any given situation and the most likely consequences for them has to come from somewhere, have a purpose and point to something...

I paid more in dollars, I should get more services. Or, I am poor, I deserve more services then what I paid for because I can't afford any more because (insert your typical the corporation is keeping the man down comment here). That is entitlement.

The prophesy of Jesus doesn't quite include the names of Joseph and Mary. It does include their lines...so anybody from those lines would've been candidates. Just saying.

Just to carry a thought into the great God mystery - And I know there is a huge theological debate behind this point, bring it up if you wish: If God knows everything (and I believe God does) then what is the purpose behind waiting as long as possible so that none will be lost? For example...

I tend to agree with Ewoks on this, on the grander scale. For example, good luck in ever having derailed God's plan of salvation, or God's plan of getting his chosen out of Egypt. But the question I have asked myself often is: How do we know that Moses was Plan A and not Plan B? How do we...

The tax system can and does cause disparity amongst the classes in society because it is inherently evil. A societies tax system is used by the governing class to encourage or discourage behaviour of it's citizens. It rewards citizens that make decisions the government deems to be good and...

hmmm...my God is a God of miracles...what about yours? I don't pretend to understand miracles, I doubt science can cope with miracles.

I put in an app with SoS. Might see you on-line a few nights a week bro! And if they don't approve, I've added you to my friends list, so still might see you a few nights a week!

Is GW2 going to be any good?

TJ, just because it wasn't brought up doesn't mean it was dealt with. Western societies have rules and laws on how to immigrate into their country from oppressive regimes. Those regulations are not there to keep those who need the safety offered out, but to ensure those who truly need it, get...

I think evil is always looking for easy ways to influence you. Taking drugs (any drug) certainly opens the door.

There is really no difference today is there? As a Canadian, I can go to the Canada\US border with my passport and get permission to visit the USA. All I have to do is have a passport, not have a criminal record and if I do, get the appropriate pardons. It's not hard. I've been to the US a...

Quoting because I agree with it. Jokingly I said God was the ultimate immigration officer when he didn't allow Moses in the promised land. This takes it even further in that it illustrates how God is the ultimate immigration officer into his Kingdom as well. Many will come to the gates but...

The simple answer is that God is the ultimate immigration officer. God banned Moses (of all people) from entering the promised land. The bible says to treat the alien among you fairly and justly. And that alien is also commanded to follow the laws of the land except when the laws of the land...

The best tribute to Jasmina and Cammandus right here!
