The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth
“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William Saroyan
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Well, seems to me that we’re living in a society in which everybody has rights but nobody wants responsibility.
Apparently much of what I was told back in the 40s and 50s was faulty, ’cause Moby Dick very obviously is a mutant whale victimized by global warming caused by white people driving SUVs. The fact that he is white clearly symbolizes white oppression of the “little people.”
Ahab, of course, is a handicapped transgender peace-loving Muslim. And Yshmael is unquestionably living proof of the fact that the Jesus myth is Zionist propaganda designed to rob his descendants of their birthright from old Abe in the days when primogeniture had the weight of law, but Sarai selfishly drove him and Hagar out into the desert, proving that women should be seen and not heard.
The beautiful irony of it all is that when Hagar and Yshmael survived in that desert, their descendants found oil and became very rich while the land which Abram’s boys illegally commandeered has no resources.
I guess there is MUCH for me to learn. Wonder if I can get the real truth from the imam at a mosque. Or maybe Rachel Maddow.

She said what I think “Stop the candles and flower vigils…stop lying to ourselves…multiculturalism is ridiculous and London has many areas of different cultures which are breeding terrorism, which don’t get along with anybody else, much less the British.” I’m going to look into her writings when I get back later today.

Ed, where’d you hear he’s a radical imam? Whether he is or not, he’s radical, a killer, and the rest of your statement is absolutely correct. I’m wondering, now that I think of it, if that cop wasn’t carrying because those very close to Parliament ARE armed. Was the cop who was killed on the bridge or in Westminster’s area?

“WASHINGTON, D.C. – The top U.S. military commander in Europe said Thursday at a Senate hearing that the terrorist threat is higher in Europe than anywhere on the globe, with the exception of current war zones.
“The number of threat streams that we have of this type within Europe, it’s probably higher in Europe than in any other part of the globe with the exception of the places where we’re actually physically fighting in, like Syria and Afghanistan and Iraq,” said U.S. Army Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti.
The four-star Army general told senators on the Senate Armed Services Committee that a terrorist attack in London the day before underscores “the dynamic environment in Europe.”
“Europe is challenged by both the flow of terrorists returning from Syria and other places. They’re challenged by an internal threat by those inspired by ISIS or directed by ISIS and this is another, an example of the attacks that we’ve seen in Europe in the past year. It’s a difficult challenge.”
