I can never tell which conspiracy theories you believe and which ones you're just joking around about. So I can see how @ATrain was confused.

Church attendance is down and I have a ton of thoughts on it but not the energy to engage in that conversation on this board.

Honest question: is there any engagement that does energize you?

Just seems like every time something comes up that’s remotely controversial, you find a way to piously opine your unwillingness to enter the fray. You’ve made an art form of it.

I agree with you most of the time. But the schtick is getting old. If you don’t want to talk about it, don’t. But why is it necessary every time to ANNOUNCE your reluctance to discuss?

Good point. There is no benefit of announcing my reluctance to discuss.

I've explained my reasoning quite a bit for no longer engaging too much on these types of issues on this board. Conversations here on serious topics are rarely fruitful.

But I'll stop. I agree with you. It's not necessary. Thanks for the reminder.

I'm not sure. I think its a good to remind all of us that conversations on heated topics, at least online, rarely produce good fruit.

You actually think our State Department cares what a specific religious denomination in one country does independent of its government? You've been reading to much Left Behind, Illuminatti, Joel Rosenberg, etc...
Just listened to John Solomon's podcast, "Just the News". Interviewed congressman Austin Scott GA. Guess why Niger just kicked the US military out.
