okay call me petty or w/e but seeing “space ace” stuff genuinely annoys me like we coined “space gay” first (i think it came from that “are you a space gay a forest gay or an ocean gay” post) but no gay people can’t even identify with the concept of space as an aesthetic without people trying to take it and say “no this is an ace thing”

Most women in government and politics are not corrupt. Many work hard and truly sacrifice themselves for their constituencies, especially in local politics, but their influence in general has not made our government or cultural life better. This is not surprising. The entry of women in large numbers into politics was a strike against democracy in the first place, as most women didn’t even want the women’s vote when it was shoved down the throats of the nation’s citizens by extremist suffragettes who were bitter, marriage-hating socialists. The anti-suffragists — ignored by mainstream historians — organized by the tens of thousands and churned out eloquent arguments in their magazines and newsletters against women’s greater participation in politics. Most women cared about influencing their homes and families and communities through their customary roles, and not through the female vote or political careers. When women were given the vote and encouraged to go into politics in large numbers, they ironically lost some of their political power, which was based on their organized non-partisan influence. It was precisely because their influence was not connected to career, money or self-advancement that their voice and petitions had a special moral power. The whole rise of the female politician has not been a grassroots movement at all. It represents the revolutionary few against the many. Ordinary women fought the rise of the suffragette — but they lost because powerful, elite forces were against them. Kathleen Kane’s downfall is merely the latest episode in this story. Given this history and the ideological lies behind it, female politicians at the higher levels, I maintain, are more likely to be arrogant and beholden to no one. The feminist politician represents the reverse of what she is claimed to be. She is the emblem of a loss of feminine influence and power.

Many male politicians have been guilty of corruption, of course, but they never gained power on the ridiculous, liberating idea that their entire sex is saintly. Kane was not qualified to be attorney general in the first place and it was feminist-style affirmative action that was most definitely partly responsible for her success and feminist-style arrogance that contributed to her downfall.

Not only do women not make politics better, they are more likely to make things much worse — for themselves, for their constituencies, and, most tragically of all, for their families.

OK let me explain since you have not studied the bible or biblical history ... The slavery described in the Old Testament was quite different from the kind of slavery you think of today - in which people are captured and sold as slaves.

Slavery during Old Testament times was not what we commonly recognize as slavery, such as that practiced in the 17th century Americas, when Africans were captured and forcibly brought to work on plantations. Unlike our modern government welfare programs, there was no safety-net for ancient Middle Easterners who could not provide a living for themselves. In ancient Israel, people who could not provide for themselves or their families sold them into slavery so they would not die of starvation or exposure. In this way, a person would receive food and housing in exchange for labor. In early Europe you had a form of this called an Indentured Servant.

Although there are rules about slavery in the Bible, those rules exist to protect the slave. Injuring or killing slaves was punishable - up to death of the offending party. Hebrews were commanded not to make their slave work on the Sabbath, slander a slave, have sex with another man's slave,or return an escaped slave. A Hebrew was not to enslave his fellow countryman, even if he owed him money, but was to have him work as a hired worker, and he was to be released in 7 years or in the year of jubilee (which occurred every 50 years), whichever came first. In fact, the slave owner was encouraged to "pamper his slave".

The idea that God or Christianity encourages or approves of slavery is false. Yet because voluntary slavery was widely practiced during biblical times, the Bible proscribes laws to protect the lives and health of slaves.

Racial diversity is akin to biological warfare. A clash of races. Those that promote multiculturalism have failed to understand both history and human nature.

Those that promote multiculturalism are biological terrorists.

People are tribal by nature. Birds of a feather flock together. Blood is thicker than water. Good fences make good neighbors.

Canada is just a social construct. Europeans (Whites) have been around for millennia. Your race is your nation, not some social construct.

Question: Whites are celebrating themselves being outbred and displaced by non Whites. Why?

Diversity means chasing down the last White person. The evidence is everywhere.

Whites are funding their own suicide. Insane. Hitler actually wanted to save Whites. Today's Whites are hellbent on pretending diversity is a strength because they think it gives them the moral high ground. When did collective suicide become associated with the highest morality?

The problem with dealing with ignorant folks is that they're too ignorant to admit that they're ignorant. So they try to hide their ignorance behind slick comments, trolling activity and the total misuse of Bible verses.

Teaching people how to get free from demons - which are very real to the point where not even Hollywood is hiding it anymore - requires being willing to deal with the immature ignorant so-called 'Christian' trolls who think it's their duty to go around trolling other believers on FB just to accuse them of 'false teaching.'

And all this is due to the troll in question being ignorant on certain topics. I learned from studying the example of Jesus NOT to cast pearls before swine. When the Pharisees accused Jesus of casting out demons by using the chief of demons, Jesus basically called them stupid to their faces.

He also basically told them they were damning themselves to eternal hell-fire because they were attributing demonic powers to the working of the Holy Spirit. *see Matt 12:24-37.

Pay special attention to Matthew 12:36-37: "But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Which is precisely why it's always wise to err on the side of silence than to open one's stupid mouth and accuse someone of teaching falsely on a topic you're basically just ignorant on. It can get you in more trouble than you think.

So let the swine enjoy their muddy slop. But they won't be doing it on my page. Agree to disagree and move on if you can't understand the topic of dealing with demons - or find yourself cast off this page along with the demons you're entertaining in your mind. Your choice. That's the way I roll.

My country is now so morally repugnant to me that I have nothing left in common with it and fully define myself as a Quisling. No other word is strong enough at this point. I used to feel like a rebel, but now I feel like a full-blown traitor because the chasm is so deep. I look into the abyss and see only hate, and I become hate. This is not the country I grew up in and not the kind of society I want to live in. Just when you think it can't get any worse, they come up with new aspects of sexuality to criminalize, and the man-hating hysteria is always directed at the new target with undiminished strength. The goal posts keep changing but the hysteria always remains, and the media never relent on their hateful propaganda against men. Who would have thought that women who regret taking nude pictures of themselves would be the new rape victims? Yet, that is where we are at. When revenge porn has gained the same legal status as child pornography, the feminist abuse industry will simply move on to the next hysteria, which will be added to all the others in a cumulative fashion. I can't imagine what the next hysteria will be, but I do know this: They will NEVER be satisfied. As long as there is a mangina willing to fight for them, they will wage war on male sexuality and female too.

The Bible teaches for Christians (including women) to abstain from FLESHLY LUSTS which WAR AGAINST THE SOUL. Alex Jones attempts to diminish the seriousness of the evils of Rock music. Rock music arouses fleshly lusts. That is the nature of Rock music, as well as modern Rock-Country, Pop and other fleshly forms of music which magnify the beat and the rhythm. The statistics evidence the truth. Over 53,000,000 American women have had abortions over the past 39-years since Roe v. Wade in 1973. Worldly music no doubt played a big role in influencing tens-of-millions of unwanted pregnancies. The improper, promiscuous, immodesty of miniskirts and pants on women in the 1960's—and the sexual revolution in general, financed by the CIA and Gloria Steinem—were the fulfillment of Communist agendas at work to subvert and destroy America's family values. Satan has succeeded in his plans and goals to steal, kill and destroy!

Having said that, Alex of all people should fully understand the Communist agenda behind the Rock music industry. The Beatles were known Communist sympathizers, evidenced by their song... BACK IN THE U.S.S.R.! Communist dictator, Vladimir Lenin (1870-1924) said, “The best revolutionary is a youth devoid of morals.” Ninety-five percent of today's youth in America have grown up without hearing the Word of God (so they have no faith, Romans 10:17). They are wicked and immoral, rebellious youths devoid of morals—and they are 100% on the side of anarchy and overthrow of government! Why do you think Homeland Security just purchased 450,000,000 blunt-tipped bullets. Dr. Jack Hyles has a tremendous sermon on the issue, Why The Antichrist Must Come Soon.

A volunteer youth pastor was sentenced to life in prison in Texas this week for sexually assaulting multiple teens at his church, reports the Houston Chronicle.

Dell Ivan Godkin, 48, was found guilty of sexually abusing one victim beginning when she was 13-years-old, and continuing until she was 17, by telling her God approved of what they were doing.

“He would say lots of things about God being OK with it,” explained prosecutor Monica Cooper, adding that Godkin would cite passages from the Bible to explain the roles of men and women to his victims.

In the case of the 13-year-old, he promised to stop molesting her by making a “deal” before she turned 17 on the condition she tell no one what had happened.

According to the prosecutor, members of the church were stunned by Godkin’s actions and described him as a good Christian.

“People were shocked when they heard that that’s how he controlled both of his victims (by quoting Scripture),” Cooper said. “He’s the scariest kind of child predator because he’s the kind that is sitting next to you in church, and he seems like the nicest guy.”

During the punishment phase of the trial, Godkin’s ex-wife took the stand and stated that he had beaten her repeatedly during their tumultuous 12-year-marriage and that she had informed the pastor of the church to no avail.

“One of the assaults occurred after she had gone to their pastor at church seeking help,” the district attorney’s office said in a statement. “By the time she arrived home, Godkin knew she had spoken to the pastor and beat her because of it.”

Although Godkin was given a life sentence, he will be eligible for parole in 2046 when he will turn 78.

I do feel that serious outliers deserve to be bullied, teased, taunted etc. about things that they can control. They need to get the message that what they are doing is not ok. But only some kids need that sort of treatment:

Assholes, psychos, mean boys. Fuck em, bully em. They deserve it, they should not be that way, that’s no way for a boy to be. That behavior needs to be arrested. An asshole, psycho, mean boy may well grow up to be an asshole, psycho, mean man and that is a lot more dangerous. Nip it in the bud. How would you like to see way more asshole, psycho, mean men than there already are. There are enough men like this, really too, and even one is unacceptable. These men do a lot of damage to society and the people they victimize. Boys need to get the message that it is not ok to be an asshole, mean, psycho male. We cannot send boys out into the society of men acting that way. It might cause serious societal problems.

Crybaby boys. Boys should not cry or at least they should not cry excessively. It is not acceptable for a 10 year old boy to be crying all the time. He needs to be bullied, teased, roughhoused, even hit, to get the message that males simply cannot do that in our society. Also the rest of the boys need to be taunt that boys and men simply cannot be crybabies. That is as unacceptable as it gets. Do you want to raise generations of crybaby men? Come on.

Seriously effeminate boys. Sorry, no boy is born effeminate. I feel that this is obviously learned behavior. That means they could knock it off anytime. Boys need to get a strong message that serious effeminacy is not acceptable. If that means teasing, taunting, etc. effeminate boys, that is fine with me. The rest of the boys need to be told that this is not ok. If you do not do this, you might end up with a lot more effeminate men than their already are, and that would not be good. You might end up with whole generations of effeminate men.

Weirdos, idiots, seriously dorked out nerds and fools. Look man, if you are this much of a nerd, idiot, fool, dork, clumsy, awkward idiot clown of a boy, that is just not acceptable. Boys who act that way deserve bullying, teasing, taunting and even a bit of roughhousing. They need to get the message that they need to knock it off, and the rest of the boys need to get the message that this is seriously not ok. Otherwise you might end up with thole generations of nerdy, dorky, idiotic, lame and foolish men.

Quote# 121262

The Sims is soaked in the ‘Do what thou wilt’ philosophy by Satanist Aleister Crowley, whose nickname was the Beast to refer to his evilness. There are no limits. Even killing your Sims is possible in the game. Just like Disney, The Sims is covered with a sugarcoated layer. It seems innocent, but there is a lot to be discovered once you analyze it with the Word of God.

...

Another aspect that can be found in all the versions of the game is ghosts or spirits. EA Games released an update for the Sims 4 last year, by which players can now create ghosts in the game and play with them as with any other Sim. These ghosts can get a job, buy a house and live life as if they never died. Besides that, they can have relationships with either ghosts or Sims and do pretty much everything with them. That includes kissing, WooHoo (sex) and even have a baby together. A normal Sim that gets pregnant of a ghost will give birth to a ghost baby.

The Bible warns of of necromancy, which is talking to the dead:

“When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.” Deuteronomy 18:9-12

Possessing objects is also something you can do with your ghost with The Sims 4 update. Once a ghost does that, the object, such as a shower or a mirror, floats in the air. In the Sims 2 ghosts could move objects, such as a microwave door, and put it on top of the microwave. None of these things were even possible in The Sims 1. Ghosts would haunt your house, but thats it. There was no contact with living Sims and no possession of objects. It seems like EA Games and Maxis are going downhill with this one, making things worse with every new version. Will this make people believe there are ghosts out there (only we know they are demons or fallen angels, see 1 Samuel 28:13-14), but make them think that they are our little friends? We can even have sex with them. Is Satan preparing us for something greater through such an ‘innocent’ game?

We Need a Manhood Revolution

My o' my, how the mighty have fallen!

There's a deliberate attempt by people in some very high places to make being manly and masculine a thing of the past. They are pushing real hard to make being a masculine, smart, and spiritual thinker something to be ashamed of.

80% of men today are conditioned to be just like Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin from Family Guy. Brainless, goofy, farting, beer-drinking, TV watching, hen-pecked, mindless drones.

Hollywood has been very effective at doing this. Just look at the men in society today who get promoted as 'the guys' to emulate:

• long-haired 'black Fabio' looking sports jocks who only care about their latest tats and toys;

• Ebonics-plagued goof-ball sounding rappers who can barely push out an intelligible sentence (have you tried listening to some of these next generation rappers???);

• the androgynous outright girly metrosexual/queer-acting male who knows more about female fashion and hair care products than most females do.

You'll be hard pressed to find an accurate depiction of strong, masculine men in commercials or the media today who enjoy reading something other than the sports section of the newspaper; and who enjoy watching something on television beyond just the sports programming or evening news.

We need a manhood revolution in our society today! Never has there been such a push to dumb-down men or effeminate men; which to me is basically the same thing.

An effeminate man is essentially a dumbed-down man, because in an effeminate state he is totally incapable of living out his God-ordained potential.

IT'S TIME TO CHAMPION MANHOOD ONCE AGAIN. I like sports and other manly pursuits just like the next guy.

But along with athletic or fighting ability, let's equally champion:

• reading,
• articulation,
• knowledge,
• wisdom,
• higher learning,
• deeper thinking,
• and most of all: spirituality and connecting to GOD.

I long to see the day when there are just as many single STRAIGHT men in the church as there are single STRAIGHT women. << I thought I should be specific there.

Fellas, it's time to cast aside society's pathetic attempts at turning you into a mindless hen-pecked weakling!

Resist and start fighting for your manhood. You'll need all the manhood ammunition you can get to override society's misandrist programming. And this ebook provides plenty.

Stand tall in your finest hour! Know your worth and walk proudly in it.

****This was a FREE chapter preview for my ebook POWER. This is the hour when men need to 'untuck,' grow a pair and stand tall in full power and glory like never before. A woman's rights are not threatened when man stand up and take their rightful positions in life as men; only some women's insecurities are. Because it is only an insecure woman who would prefer a man who was dumbed down, soft, weak and effeminized. Real women champion masculinity - nothing less, nothing more. Get your manhood mojo back.

Only eight people were saved from the flood. EIGHT PEOPLE! Noah and his wife, and their three sons and wives. So NO ONE was saved when the flood came. I can't help but believe that when the Rapture happens, it will almost be a non-event to the world. I doubt if it will even cause a ripple in the news. Do you think a bunch of unsaved people are going to care if a few thousand people are missing? This lost world thinks that Roman Catholics are Christians and will be raptured, but they won't be. Catholics are not saved, because they errantly trust in the sacraments of the Catholic Church to save them, and good works. Ephesians 2:8-9 plainly teach that words cannot saved. Salvation is by faith alone in Jesus Christ Who died, was buried and rose again three days later for our justification.

Consider the mysterious crop circles phenomena which has been appearing all around the world in recent years. No one can explain them. No one knows where they come from. Yet, no one really cares either. I think this type of indifferent attitude will be present at the time of the Rapture (which could occur at any time). I think the Rapture will happen virtually unnoticed by the world.

A politician in Ireland has come up with what might be the most creative climate change denial yet.

The Irish Independent.ie reports that Danny Healy-Rae, an independent Teachta Dála for the Kerry constituency, believes that the story of Noah’s Ark proves that climate change is a giant hoax.

Why, you ask? Because it proves that only God can control the weather, and it’s not up to us to decide what He wants to do with it.

“I believe that God above is in charge of the weather,” he said during a Dáil Éireann session earlier this year. “We here can’t do anything about it… There have been patterns of climate change over the years, indeed before there ever was a combustible engine.”

In an interview with Hot Press magazine, Healy-Rae elaborated on his views that Noah’s Ark shows that scientists have no idea what they’re talking about.

“I’m basing my views on facts,” he said. “The facts are there and history proves it. We had the Ice Age. We had Noah’s Ark. We had all those stories. We’ve proof of the Famine in 1740, which was caused by two years of incessant rain. There were some centuries when the country was very hot… and then there were different centuries with so much rain and cold. So, those are facts.”

Independent.ie notes that Healy-Rae also voted against Ireland’s same-sex marriage resolution last year because “going back, it was always a man and a woman produced a baby and brought them up” and “that’s the way I felt it should continue.”

As long as they're not killing minorities through ethnic cleansing I'm fine with it. And I don't buy the narrative about what's happening in the Black communities. Do cops overreact in some cases? Sure, but it's not like their prejudices don't come from a reasonable fear.

You know, I think most every other country would have a problem with minorities holding ultimate power over the majority. That's kind of what's happening with the way the Democratic Party formed, so it causes some problems. I feel like minorities are just guests to the host culture. It's alright as long as there's no legal discrimination. Japan for example had a White guy in the Diet for about a decade, but do you think Japanese would be okay if the population suddenly became 60% White and 40% Japanese? If Whites took majority roles in the government, a White guy became prime minister, then majority White people started making decisions about the lives of ethnic Japanese? In their very own country? No, I don't think Japanese people would very much like that, so I can understand why White Americans don't like it either.

The CCP even expelled foreigners when Mao was in power.

Of course nationalism is tied to race. So is culture. If the tables were turned, I wouldn't want White people ruling over China. There's enough history of that already. So I don't get why it's somehow better for minorities to control White countries. It's just not right to me, or ideologically consistent.

Well, I'd like to start by saying that I'm not only attracted to Asians. I'm attracted to whites and Asians, and a few latinos and blacks. If I had to choose my primary race that I'm attracted to, it's easily whites. I'd say at least 7/10 whites my age who are in good shape are attractive to me, while only 4/10 Asians my age who are in shape are attractive to me. Not only that, but I think of most Asians as kinda cute, but I think the hottest women, like the 10/10s, are usually white.

But physical stuff isn't the only reason I'd date someone. Overall, Asian women just are more pleasant to be around. Western women have been utterly corrupted by feminism, and sexual liberalization. The whole dating game in the West has become completely and utterly fucked. Modern white women drastically overvalue there SMV, and it leads to the top 60% of white women chasing the top 5% of guys. The guys at the top of the SMV pyramid (athletes, musicians, models, and what not) pump and dump all the white girls, while never committing to relationships with them.

This whole trend started when women entered the workforce. Before then, marriage was pretty much essential, because the women had to try to make her husband the best man possible so he could support a family. Now that doesn't happen, because women can have jobs and provide for themselves while getting pumped and dumped by jocks.

This was furthered by the welfare state, which enables single motherhood completely.

However, do to cultural work ethic and Asian femininity, I feel that a lot of Asian women have been immune to this trend. The Asians I have met practically worship at the feet of the average white guy.

So really I'm just being pragmatic about this. I'm not gonna deal with shit testing from white women if I can easily fuck Asians.

Good relationships occur when both partners have the same culture. The problem is that culture is very much tied to race. You should understand that - only White people could have created the West. Unless one of the partners is willing to submit culturally, you'd both be settling for a weak relationship.
I'm not against race-mixing 100%, but I'm very skeptical about it. After all, it was liberals who first pushed the issue, desegregation, etc. And as someone who is mixed race, I know the problems it causes.

Basically, I'm someone who likes Trump as much as I like the Chinese Communist Party. They're both nationalist, traditionalist, and forward looking. I don't know too much about Pinochet, but what I do know, I like.

(responding to story "Atheist Activist Group Sues to Remove Cross From Pennsylvania County Seal"):

These New atheists are such colossal pansies, in need of safe spaces here and there, and an embarrassment to those of us who claimed atheism when it was done so for true tolerance and for the purpose of truth-seeking and philosophical inquiry. We NEVER would have had a hissy fit over crosses and monuments - it's like the New Atheists cannot handle anything reminding them of another worldview but their own. Not very "tolerant" or "open-minded" or "free thinking" at all.

Now, when I tell people I used to be an atheist, and their eyes get wide, I have to quickly add "No, no, not a New Atheist. We Old Atheists actually believed in tolerance and did not evangelize our atheism."

New Atheism really comes off as a sort of blind faith religious cult.

There is no accountability in America, until someone gets hurt, and then the greedy lawyers and judges want to prosecute the wrong people for every dollar they can.

For example: Young girls and women walk around only wearing skimpy underwear. I heard about a whore walking down the street wearing fishnet and nothing more (totally exposed). A cop saw her and crashed into the car in front of him. The cop started to blame the man he ran into, but a neighbour in another car who witnessed the accident told the cop to shut up, because the cop had been watching the slut instead of the road. Honestly, that police man ought to be able to go arrest that slutty woman for public indecency, but he cannot, because the laws protect rotten tramps like her. When women take their clothes off in public, sins and crimes are eventually going to happen, it's inevitable. A woman who advertises her body doesn't deserve to be raped, but she is certainly asking to be raped, and she may get what she is provoking. Any women who doesn't understand what I am saying is either very naive, a complete idiot, or a godless rebel headed for judgment from God. Sensual clothing provokes lust from men.

[Note: this is her response to someone asking her for help with their depression, which was caused by witnessing a close friend get raped]

God has intentionally blasted you with a very disturbing sequence of events–events which He says are wise and good. Your friend didn’t get raped by accident. He coordinated the whole thing. Why? Because He loves your friend a whole lot more than you do, and He is intentionally throwing her life into turmoil to motivate her to get into her own theological crisis and submit to Him. You see all of this, and it raises up serious doubts about God’s goodness. Fine. But now the challenge for you is this: you’re a powerless speck. He’s God Almighty. He can rip lives apart and you can do nothing to stop Him. He can turn your depression on and off like water from a faucet, so how much are you going to let your approval of Him weigh in on your decision to submit to Him? Saying, “I don’t get what You just did, God. It seems horrible and cruel and it makes me worry that You’re some kind of Ogre,” is honest, and honesty is critical. But reverence will then add, “However, I also recognize that You are God and I am a powerless speck who depends on You for everything. I don’t like what You’re doing, but how stupid would I have to be to defy Your Authority? I can’t escape Your domination–You’re God. Help me to be what You want, because there is no other option.” This is how reverence drives us to submission, and submission then leads to revelations about God’s goodness. But it starts with reverence, and reverence is a fearful respect for God’s awesome power. For you, there are many important lessons to learn in all of this.

At one time this did tend to describe conservatives but not so much now. As science, particularly genetics, has closed in on the roots of human behavior, intelligence and health it has tended to support nominally "conservative" or "right-wing" views of human nature. I predict that leftist resistance to this trend will harden and a firm anti-science left will emerge from the controversy. We are seeing this in an anti-Darwin sentiment that is developing steam and a general resistance to any notion of heredity being reflected in culture (except the "good" sense, of course).
