    But I think this is worth discussing, so how bout making your best case for "nobody should"?

      Or giving significant amounts of time, because, as they say, "time is money".
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Where would it best be put, Christianity? Would it be best, probably, to have this a Christians only thread, so it doesn't get bogged down in other issues?

          I simply don't see a reason not to take Jesus literally here. Good deeds in general can be apparent to others, and goodness is a fruit of the spirit, but Jesus seemed to single out charitable giving in particular as something to be done in secret. If others find out about it, so be it, but Jesus words are clear to me: for us to publicize it seems to negate any spiritual benefit.

                  German media has admitted to boosting the audio during Trump's speech to make the booing appear louder than it really was.

                  ----------

                  ARD released a clip of the speech on the Twitter account for its popular news programme “Tagesschau” in which distinct boos could be heard directly after the President’s comments. A short time later the programme admitted it had boosted the volume of the audio in order to showcase the booing. The show has since been accused of “manipulation”, Stern reports.

                  Those behind the programme wrote on Twitter, “We did actually make the sound a little louder at the end so that you can hear the booing. Only in this way can we reflect what our correspondents have reported.”

                  Editor-in-chief of the German tabloid newspaper Bild Julian Reichelt called out those involved saying it was, “hard to imagine that you would have done the same for applause.”

                    Should Evangelicals have voted for the inveterate liar and hypocrite Hillary R Clinton instead?

                      When you call someone a liar, have you considered pointing out what you think is a lie in his/her statement?

                      Are you, or are you not, independently wealthy as you have previously alleged?

                        There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

                          Are you daft? Look, you have two flawed candidates. One supports the majority of policies you do, the other supports almost none of the things that you do. Which one would you vote for Tass?

                            Maybe he thinks "independently wealthy" means living off of government handouts.

                              I've wondered that - as long as the checks keep getting auto-deposited into his account, and expenses are low because he's living in his mommy's basement...

                                Perhaps to an dishonest ignoramus who wants to promote that false narrative. You're becoming more like your version of Trump every day, Trumpman.
