. . . No it's not. It may be the largest in membership, but Orthodox + Protestant is more Christians who ignore Rome when it comes to doctrine than follow it. Further we're talking about the United States IN SPECIFIC and in the US the Catholic Church has had non to NEGATIVE influence on the...

. . . That you think this is the position of Christianity means you've once again swallowed anti-Christian propaganda. While it could be argued that specifically the Catholic Church saw Sex in this manner, this has never really been the case outside of the most extreme esoteric sects of...

It's really not that hard to fathom what was going on here, and it's a combination of misplaced idealism, actual bad faith actors who sought to normalize their own perversions, and a timely alignment of technology enabling behavior. The rise of casual sex culture in the west can pretty easily...

I'm not saying we should entirely return to the era of only at-fault divorce. Aside from it being a cultural impossibility at this time, one of the big issues with at-fault divorce was that the standards were often so high and difficult, plus required things that would often end up creating...

Why should happiness be the defining measure of worth of a marriage? Happiness is inherently a selfish measure. It is about the amount of pleasure an individual has in a given circumstance, and happiness is ALWAYS a transient matter as people are never happy all the time. The purpose of a...

Amusingly, they actually did the grapples and throws for the first part, the second part is clearly stage-punches on both sides, well timed and executed stage punches, but stage punches nonetheless.

If the estimated value of housework is $40k, then it depends on the situation of the family. If the wife is making >$40k from her professional work, then it very much might be that they cannot afford to have her stay at home full time depending on the husband's income and all their expenses...

For the US, ideally the Federal government would be completely uninvolved in education. It's not a responsibility remitted to it in the US Constitution and thus they should stay completely out of it. Meanwhile US States should be left to their own on how they want to structure things so long...

That's why in my initial write up I explicitly linked Federal funds to the States adopting a similar broad voucher program. Basically, if States want to do their own system, they can, but no one in the State would then be eligible for the Federal funds. This kind of carrot approach to Federal...

Great part about this kind of School Voucher program is that you're right, when initially set up, there's not many options in California... but give it a few years. Supply and Demand are amazing things and you'd soon see private schools catering to all sorts popping up across the country. And...

The simplest way to take back over the K-12 education space is actually to blow it all up. Make it so that all state / fed money is attached to a child and if the parents choose to homeschool, private school, or public school, that money goes straight there. Then simply set generic education...

O.o Mocking people for relaying historical facts? Whether or not she was actually a virgin, that is what Elizabeth I was known as at the time, and why Virginia bears that name.

Yes? That's what the company named for her was the "Virginia" company, she was the Virgin Queen. And thus, why the colony became known as the Virginia Colony, and then the Commonwealth of Virginia upon secession from England. No, Virginia is not a state. :P Man, do kids these days not study...

Yes you would. She ruled until 1603, the only British colony in what was America at the time was Roanoke... And the next wasn't settled until 1607, and the company that founded it was NAMED FOR HER!

I actually doubt we'll see fallback on race. Despite what white nationalists and those adjacent to them would have you believe, much of the criminality and other stats that are often attributed by them to "not being white" have a stronger correlation with both economic status and, more...
