“Imagine”
One of the great songs of all time.
“Imagine”
Who started the thread? I don't think you're "there yet", btw....)It's not just mostly a black or Christian thing, just fyiNo, that was CFM claiming it was inappropriate. I was just saying it is a Christian thing, and the Blacks being mostly Christian do it because of that.
Oh and the Romans didn't like it either.
I think the whole idea of a brotherhood of mankind is actually kind of nice. I am not sure if I am there yet, but I certainly do not oppose it.

What did the thread start out with? The first reply: "The sad truth is incest is on the rise in trump country."The thread did not start with a mention of people calling each other "brother" and "sister". CFM added that with a claim that it is evidence that Blacks engage in incest. I merely pointed out that the "brother" and "sister" thing is a Christian thing going back to the beginning of Christianity.
Good luck getting a direct answer.The thread did not start with a mention of people calling each other "brother" and "sister". CFM added that with a claim that it is evidence that Blacks engage in incest.

Who else calls each other brother and sister?
America is one of the few countries with growing numbers of child brides... AND IT IS NOT HAPPENING IN BLUE AREAS!!!
If Christians use family terms for each other, it follows families use those terms for each other.
That being said, do you refer to your sister Susan, as "Sister Susan", or just "Susan"? In an actual family, there is less need to stress you are in a family.

You ARE a dickhead, Wally. Congratulations.
Wait Walt.......now you want them to refer to each other as brother and sister? I'm pretty sure you know nothing about their communities or you wouldn't make such silly statements...or agree with an OP like this oneMen in trump country are becoming jobless and isolated. There are some nasty consequences to that, among which is the huge drop in life expectancy.
They are also losing their religion, in that they are going to church less. The church is not being replaced by other social contact. There is a collapse in social networks.
Maybe it would be better if they started referring to each other as "brother" and "sister". It would help in rebuilding community.
"They're" ok with it, as you can see...two sets of rules, you know....maybe there was a secret warning....Thanks, TOP. This whole thread has possible 12b violation written ALL over it. Dreadful.

Why did you support the OP? You're not even close to being there yetI already said that I find the whole idea of a brotherhood of mankind nice, but I am not sure if I am there yet. Within reason, I support building community, and if building a bigger family helps them get there, it sounds good to me.
I do know that trump's base is seeing collapsing life expectancies. They are one of the few demographics to see such a thing. They are seeing rising drug use, lowering workforce participation, and many, many other problems moving in the wrong direction.
I am not a religious sort, so supporting religion to solve this may seem odd. But I think anything that gets these people out of their isolation and into a support network is good. Well not anything. I don't want them joining violent organizations.

I neither supported nor opposed the original post.
Hey, this thread got moved to "Off Topic." Maybe it was Steven's whining.
