[quote]That’s always been a question for me.

I'm not sure if you want to actually have that conversation, but surrendering your will to God is "worshipping" God. Which takes many, many forms - especially on Earth.

Like most things in modern corporate America, it's mainly for CYA purposes. Which sucks. Building people and leaders is a hard job, and people don't invest in it properly. But it's the right thing to do.
I do think most people, despite many whining about work ethic of younger generations, want t...

Straight evil.
Like I've said, Biden is a complete empty suit. Just a total sham, willing to be used for whatever purpose, including this. He has no platform, no ideals, no identity, no real meaning in his past. That's why he makes everything up. He just wants to be used to be a part of ...
