Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

The tiny little rural town I was raised in as a kid had a dog food factory, an itty bitty post office not much bigger than a port 'o potty, and an old shut down gas station. I think the town and surrounding area had a population of 300 or 500 (this was back in the 90s). It also had 10 churches (maybe more) all lined up along the bypass highway that went through "downtown".

40 years later, as of last time I've been through, nothing's really changed.

I only say this because I feel like kids already had plenty of options to study the Bible? Like half those churches did some kind of service 7 days a week, and on some days, multiple services. Services including Sunday School and Bible Study.
