Most normal human beings react the same to the horrific images. But if anyone is paying attention they should be getting suspicious of the overriding control of the "intelligence agencies" exerting over some selected stiffs to be groomed to "act their part" in terrorizing the population.<br /><br />Mysteriously or not, coincidently or not, it does seem that certain people have been meeting an untimely demise. There seems to a a particularly large swath of deaths occurring where truth is close to being uncovered i areas such as wide spread pedophelia in the political ranks of Washington and world politicians. Writers or pundits who get close to revealing any "truths" about the sham President that sat on the American throne for the previous eight years have been "offed".<br /><br />Ant writer or pundit getting too close to the truth about the undue influence of Saudi Arabia upon the political power structure of Washington and their agent BHO, their bought and paid for head of the CIA, John Brennan—all seem to have reached an expiry date before their proper time: Michael Hasting, Andrew Breitbart and Tom Clancy.<br /><br />Are we still waitin for President Donald Trump to drain the swamp?

You and...A good point, AOW! Thanks for chiming in.<br /><br />You and I have discussed our different interpretations of the Old Testament and have more or less agreed to disagree. There's no need to rehash all that here. I am a Christian, but a non-fundamentalist for sure, That means I firmly believe that any "teaching" that has no hope of serving the advancement of Kindness, Mercy and Justice over a harsh, literal, merely legalistic application of The Law is anathema –– <i>I.e.</i> ungodly. <br /><br />Mortal men obsessed with a Power Agenda have never been above inserting self-serving thoughts of their OWN into the pages of Holy Writ. This is one of Satan's cleverest and most effective ways of gaining control of the temporal world. ––– Or so I believe.

But the lamestream media, and the leftist newscasters such as CNN are trying to hide it from us, and just ignore reporting it. And why is that? Because Donald Trump predicted it and he WAS talking about it. It’s Sickening!<br />The politically correct Lefty crowd doesn't want to appear Islamophobic so they turn a blind eye to the worst of the worst and that's how the rot sets in.<br /><br />It's like in the U.S. where the Federal Government under Obama refused to keep statistics on crime by illegals even though they have entire departments to track statistics on every other kind of crime. They don't want the information to get out there in a way they would have to deal with it. They don't want to believe, or they don’t want us to know that these Muslim Refugees are anything but a persecuted bunch of missed placed and misunderstood .<br />Sweden had just 100k of these Muslim “Refugees”. Now they have 500k. More and more Muslims are flooding the country every year. They are now expected to take on another 250,000 so called “Refugees”.<br />So look at what’s happening in Germany, look at what’s happening in Sweden. Rape, robbery, aggravated assault, rape-assault and rape again, and again....violence against the police, threats to police, drug crime, felony, murder, and attempted murder. Anti-Zionism and anti-Israel sentiments in Sweden has run amuck.<br />Who would have believed this Didn't the left have fun with that claiming Trump was an idiot?<br /><br />But then, two days later riots, fires and mayhem broke out in Sweden and we saw this past week another attack in Germany.<br />But fortunately that's changing with the election of President Trump. We finally have a President who is willing to say the words "radical Islamic terrorism" and take the tough steps necessary to limit and vet refugee entry into the United States. How many more innocent citizens in Sweden, Germany and elsewhere will have their lives shattered because of left wing political correctness and it's blindness to the problem?Donkey's Revengehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643065288145308646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-48705707157522659962017-03-13T09:43:34.480-04:002017-03-13T09:43:34.480-04:00The behavior of Christendom has evolved since the ...The behavior of Christendom has evolved since the Middle Ages.<br /><br />As for the Old Testament's various harsh teachings, the New Testament revised them.

What a mess! <br /><br />Jersey, I think you are making the all too common mistake of evaluating the PAST by imposing CURRENT standards on it. <br /><br />Whatever glorious achievements may –– or may not –– have made in the distant past has nothing to do with the deplorable conditions in which the vast majority of Moslems live today. <br /><br />By the same token the admittedly barbaric practices of the ancient Jews, chronicled in excruciating detail in the Torah, which we Christians call "The Old Testament," and the horrifying, barbaric authoritarianism practiced by those who dared defined themselves as "Christians" in Mediaeval Europe –– a true Reign of Terror by toys standards –– were beyond deplorable, they were DESPICABLE.<br /><br /><b>HOWEVER, the POINT I would have you understand, and hope you will one day come to accept, is that NONE of that applies TODAY.</b><br /><br />Before I go any farther, I would correct you on one point. The Europeans whom describe as <i>"living like wild dogs in the woods"</i> were NOT "Christian." They were the Huns, the Goths, the Visigoths, Vikings, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and wild Celtic tribes, etc. <b>ALL of these people were PAGAN. NONE of them were CHRISTIAN at the time Rome disintegrated and fell prey to invading barbarian hordes from the North.</b><br /><br /><b>No civilization has yet attained Perfection, Jersey, –– and frankly I doubt that any ever WILL ––, but the FACT remains that –– like it or not –– WHITE, WESTERN, CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION with all its blunders, errors in judgment, and terrible periodic setbacks really DID achieve a far more ADVANCED, REFINED, ENLIGHTENED, nd HUMANE aggregation of various regional cultures than any OTHER recognized force in human history.</b><br /><br /><b>I believe it should be encumbent upon us build ON our frankly excellent foundation NOT try to undermine, destroy, and discard it.</b> <br /><br />FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-80239877515326979092017-03-13T07:21:02.022-04:002017-03-13T07:21:02.022-04:00Hitler's genocidal regime was atheist, not Chr...Hitler's genocidal regime was atheist, not Christian.<br /><br />Godless communist regimes killed over 100,000,000 people.
