sure, sensitivity is great.
when it is only selectively applied however, it is not sensitivity.
it is the double standard of "rules for thee but not for me."


and viewing people and behavior through the lens of skin color is selectively applied from the get go.
when someone actually believes and practices that all people are equal, then skin color is as irrelevant as hair color or shoe color or car color.

Danke, ευχαριστώ, thank you, although English is my third language. It is also an education to listen to my wife and two teenager daughters when they explain what problems they have as women.

To be fair, I have a larger English vocabulary than the Greek from when I was a child, so it could be argued it is my second for that reason.

As one for whom English is a second language as well, I understand. I always say, my husband and i make love in Tamil and argue in English. It is more efficient.
I learnt a lot from my children as well, who also argued well in English. Their experience growing up was different from mine and they gave me a perspective I did not have. Wisdom does not always come with age, it is everywhere. I am always learning, and i love listening to my grandchildren argue, who are now semi adults.

What about the declaration of independence? There's nothing in it that suggests that the US is a Christian nation.

References to both our Creator and God, lead me to my conclusion.

The only time the word "God" appears in the DoI, it is in the phrase "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God." The term "Creator" was chosen to be more "generic" so the document was acceptable to a wider audience. It is in the phrase "that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights."

Each word appears only once.

How does that lead you to conclude that the US is a Christian nation?
