    Amazing

    Great discussions over the issues. Great reporting. Sad state of affairs in the mindset of the US.

    I have a mother who is trained as a Christian. It is a exquisite religion when practiced with compassion. It is an arrogant religion when you think that everyone faces hell...including the humans born before the "era of Jesus" will be at the judgement and be tossed in hell.

    It is boring to hear about how Jesus will come. Humankind should spend more time with compassion instead of thinking about the possibility of judgement. Who cares...life judges...we die...it is life that matters...Effie is the one that loses.
