Now we want to go even deeper: "Is empire always a bad thing?"\nSo we invented a game that will explore that question. It's Capture the Flag... with resources.\nTopics discussed:\n\nIs empire always a bad thing?\n\nHow can the US use resources to build alliances?\n\nIs the US a Christian nation?\n\nHow should Christians treat resources?\n\nThe US has over 800 military bases. Would we want a foreign military base in or near our land?\n\nShould Christian resist burglars?\n\nWould we want a Chinese military base in the US?\n\nHow do we treat countries with less important resources?\n\n\nTruce is listener supported.
