@protoisskyy@Aunolugo@georgesXII@hodgetwins The “worst” sinner is covered by Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, and resurrection. God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. Such is his mercy and unmerited favour toward anyone who receives him.
@davepl1968@ryangerritsen Quite a Libertarian view, and fair enough on its face.
Islam is a problem for America and the Western world, but maybe especially America, given its protection of religious expression.
Justifies a careful review of the definition of “religion”, or what is “religious activity”.
"You close it and you won't have a country." President Trump said he told Iranian officials about the Strait of Hormuz. "You won't even make it back to your fu*king country."
"We may take over the Strait, if we have to," Trump said. "If they don't make a deal, we'll collect tolls."
Trump added the U.S. could become the "Guardian Angel" of the Strait, and take 20% of the oil.
@farmingandJesus I can sympathise, although I must confess I don’t quite understand living out personal difficulties on the Internet. No offence intended.
Hopefully this is something you can discuss, and pray over, with hubby.
@FreeSpeechMat8@Matt_Camenzuli You can be any race, and come from any differing culture, but when you move to Australia you can intentionally adopt the Australian culture, foregoing, for the most part, how you previously lived.
This is what many generations of past migrants have done, and done well.
The CGT Tax Grab They're Hiding
The capital gains tax changes are worse than anyone realized. The actual tax rate is 32% including Medicare levy. And here's the kicker: it's a flat 32% regardless of your income. Zero taxable income? Still 32%. You can't reduce it with super contributions. You can't reduce it with charity donations. The only exception? Pensioners.
Self-funded retirees are being hammered while the government tries to rush it through Parliament before people figure out what's really happening. Spread the word. They're counting on you not noticing.
@BrianScottTXGS@naomibrockwell Yes, I understand. that’s good for the US, and I hope that if/when overreaching US states start impinging on that that it goes before SCOTUS.
I posted that quote because there’s a push from Western governments for more digital constraints, including from within the US.
