New King James
I always liked the old timey prose of KJV, and NKJV keeps that while fixing many of the infamous translation issues. |

| Im confused by OP's OP. You say you're considering re-converting, but you make it sound more like you would just be playing along to fit in. Playing along isn't really honest or healthy in the long run. Doing so to grift others is immoral on top of being unhealthy. Part of why I stopped going to ch... |

| "The Left Has To Speak To Average American Values - Or Perish" What is this, 2000? 1984? 1969? 1945? 1920? 1900? I struggle to think of any time in the history of the Left that the center hasn't turned up their noses at us for not bending over backwards to sugarcoat our rhetoric for the ge... |

They're the party of neo-Nazis and the Klan! (Just don't ask any actual Nazi or Klansman). Yet, for some ... |

| There's times I feel like the people around me get their understanding of world religions from the lowest common denominator. Y'all are far too ready to crap all over faith traditions--and it undermines y'alls ability to actually understand why things like genocide happen. Convince me otherwise (And... |

| I don't care for the Catholic Church, but Francis tried to address inequality in ways many of his predecessors did not. I hope his successor is of similar character. It would've put a damper on Easter if he had died yesterday. Rather apparently he was energetic yesterday. RIP. I'm sure he tried to h... |

| Christian Zionists have one of two morally indefensible reactions to this: 1. They willfully ignore it because it would require they be critical of Israel, or 2. They are willing to accept Christians being persecuted, either because they are mostly Arabs, or because they are willing to accept a coun... |

Roughly half of my country (maybe more) feels actively entitled to living in an unchallenged superpower--with no regards for the human consequences. Tens of millions of people here cr... |
