Thanks Roger and Justin! It seems only natural to me that the Africans have their native beliefs mixed into Christianity. (It's probably a no-no from the Church's perspective though?) One of my all-time favorite movies is Richard Attenborough's Gandhi (1982). Back then as an atheist, I was...

Just curious ... Are Catholics the majority of African Christians? Do they have a large number of Protestants as well? What are other churches that are dominant other than Catholic, if any? Sorry, I'm still fairly ignorant of Christian cultures in other countries outside the U.S. ... Perhaps you...

This is my great favorite among his writings. It crystallizes the reason why I decided to become a Christian.

Welcome! Wow, what are the odds that two of you who're from the same country in Africa joining here on the same day! I'm thrilled to have two more Catholics. I'm a former atheist, became a Christian a few years ago, and I'm still not sure which church I want to go to ... Recently I'm becoming...

Welcome! I'm not a regular here but keep coming back from time to time. This is one of the few discussion forums where most everybody is polite and reasonable. The subjects here are somewhat unique and cover a wide range from faith to everyday life. You came to a good place ;)

Sorry to bring up Trump again — making reference to Trump may become a new Godwin's law soon! — but Trump (well, not so much himself, more the way he's affecting our culture) is and will be one of my biggest concerns for the next four years; I seem not be able to escape from him even tho I would...

I agree. Back when bin Laden was assassinated, I was saddened to see many were overjoyed (understandable tho) and some said things like "we didn't have to follow a proper ritual when releasing his body in the ocean" or worse, "we should've wrapped his remains in pig skin" ... Yes, bin Laden was...

Honest question ... Is it morally wrong to rejoice at anyone's death? Proverbs 24:17 says: Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles ...

This Christian music video may seem totally corny to those who are not Christian. But I'll share it here, 'cuz the lyrics really resonate with my sentiment and I think the song kinda reflects the current state of our country. for KING & COUNTRY - "Ceasefire" "No one ever wins when the goal is...

You know what, it's fine that Trump doesn't change. Because that means Trump's unprecedented historically high unfavorability won't change either. Actually you should feel a little less devastated than I am. You guys have a great chance in taking over the House and Senate in 2018. My view is...

The pain you're feeling is just the same as mine, bro. But let's try to be optimistic. (What else can we do?) Italy survived Silvio Berlusconi, we'll somehow survive Trump too, and it's only four years ...

Desperate times call for the best medicine ... laughter ;-)

The funny thing is, Trump is now complaining about the exact thing that he said his supporters would do if he loses. I have never seen a more HYPOCRITICAL public figure in my entire life!

I'm starting to like Van Jones ...

This is what I tell my wife ...

I agree with your first two paragraphs, but not the last one. I even kinda doubt if Trump really wants the presidency. It's not an easy job (to say the least!!) and one has to almost completely sacrifice one's private life. Do you think he is up for that? The primaries are over, Trump needs to...

Buwahaha ... I would LOVE to hear the pope say that! That would be invigorating! :D

During the course of arguing with Trumpsters, particularly when I criticized Trumps' not-so-Christian-like rhetoric and behaviors, I was often told (oh, if I had a nickel for every time), "If you're Christian, then don't judge, the Bible says so." I believe they were referring to the passage ...

This is a four-month old story, but I've been thinking about this incident still. Would it be not okay for a Christian to call other Christians "not Christian", even if there's a good reason for doing so? Fr. Jonathan Morris (I usually agree with him but not on this one) says in the YouTube...

I'm more of a dog person myself, but I can see why some people are crazy about cats. Yeah I admit they are cute.
