I’m going to guess that 90% of Americans are clueless about how China works and how the people live. I’m hardly an expert either, but just due to what I said above I have a very very small grasp of how modern China works. Again, I’m no expert, and yes, I know nothing compared to someone who actually lives there.

Having hosted four Chinese exchange students and currently having a brother who lives in China, I can say you are correct-with a caveat. If you are law abiding and not making a commotion, you’ll be fine. But it’s still not a place I would to reside in.

When you think about, those movies are morally repulsive. It’s fun and cool to pretend to be Punisher but vigilante justice always creates more misery for everyone-including the vigilante.

Heretic 2: The Revenge. I’ll get working on the script.

When the vote is 190 to 0-maybe the president should have been more clear about what the treats are instead of just saying “shut up and trust me”

hey @Traveler. The president declared martial law due to “threats” from North Korea. Without saying what the threats are. The people and many members of parliament are curious as to what those threats are, and why Yoon Suk Yeol took such a drastic step. So they are angry he restricted their freedoms.

@Ruben-I want you to remember that you aren’t alone. There are a lot of people who struggle with questions like this. Sometimes it‘s important to remember that we can’t read minds. While we sit in the pews in church we might think everyone else doesn’t struggle with doubt, these issues, etc, but you truly never know what’s going on inside someone’s mind.

the key thing people forget about Rush (mega ditto, btw) is that he made it funny. He didn’t just whine, play the victim or mindlessly rant about conspiracies like Alex Jones.

Yup, it’s something I struggle with as well. Like I mentioned before, I try to focus on the mercy and love shown by Christ in the new testament.

Heretic made a profit. And you know what that means in the world of horror movies. Heretic 2,3,4,5,6 and 7 will be released in no time.

Lol!

What did the AARP do? Missed the memo.

Calling the responses racist is a bridge too far for me, but I understand your post 100%.

Guess who he worked for? Soros Fund Management. Yes, that one.

I tend to think that God treats us the way Jill treated Puzzle in the end of Narnia. (spoilers ahead) Puzzle wore a lion costume imitating Aslan, but Puzzle was manipulated into it. The final King of Narnia wants to execute Puzzle, but Jill correctly tells everyone to leave him alone. She doesn’t say she is right, she tells the others to have mercy. At the end of the day, Aslan allows Puzzle to enter Aslan’s country. So does Tirian.

To be fair to @Ruben, I can see why he’s still anxious. Even people who keep their covenants still struggle with pride, lust, envy…all things God warns us about. Again though, I try my hardest to remember the mercy of Christ. He’s the only one in history who turned the other cheek, forgave those who murdered Him, and asked Peter to put the sword down.

It’s even harder for converts, which I think @Ruben is. Correct me if I’m please. and it’s only because converts don’t know what questions/books are taboo, emotionally loaded, etc.

Understand.

Unpunished? No. But I do vaguely remember hearing an interview with a school shooter’s dad who said “He‘s still my son, I can’t stop loving him.” I think God’s love for us far exceeds our human understanding of love.

This is just my own speculation of course but I think part of our condition as fallen humans is being far more harsh and unforgiving than God is

Same. All I got was this from Google.
