If you bother to read the rest of the bible, you'll realise two things:

Everyone who refuses to acknowledge Jesus Christ as messiah is antichrist, bu definition.

There is no one "antichrist", it is a spirit that is loose in this world, the spirit of this age ("this age" meaning the entire period from the resurrection of Jesus until He comes again in glory) which IS antichrist.

Of COURSE moslems are of antichrist. So are hindu, jain, shinto, humanist, and even many groups commonly accepted as"christian" who refuse to abide by the clear commandments God has taken the trouble to spell out in His Word.

You must distinguish between inanimate and animate matter, though. In no sense can inanimate matter be thought of as part of a being.
The universe is structured I'm a way that points to God. We think of prayers as going 'upwards' as if God was above us, for example. For me that's either a sign that we and the universe are designed, or its a giant coincidence. Or another example is the moon appearing to be exactly the same size as the sun - an eclipse can move us to examine our thoughts and actions, etc.

"The ability to use violence effectively is the highest value of masters," Donovan said in a 2017 speech at a fascist think tank in Germany. "It is the primary value of those who create order, who create worlds. Violence is a golden value. Violence rules. Violence is not evil–it is elemental."

"Mom... Dad... I know you find it almost impossible to accept the fact I've chosen a new lifestyle and I know this isn't what you wanted for me as I was growing up. I know you've never accepted homosexuality as a 'Blessed' lifestyle choice and I completely understand how heart-breaking it is for you to know I've turned my back on everything you believe. Nevertheless I love you and will stay with you no matter what your reaction is"
The most Common two stories I hear are "My parents were terrific and I had no problems"
and
"My parents threw me out of the house and I hate them"
It's all or nothing with homosexuals... "Accept me or I'll hate you forever and I'll never try to understand how I've broken your hearts!"
(I've a funny feeling you KNOW I'm right!)

“It’s always just groups of DUDES who are involved in this” — I would hope so. Women should stay out of the public realm.

“White male losers who just want an excuse to hang out with other dudes and be stupid and belligerent” — this would apply to the armies of William the Conqueror and Genghis Khan as well.

This piece is more about the Asian experience in America than it is about the frat guys on trial, who are mainly props in the author’s tale of woe. His bitterness is really something to behold. And he’s not alone- check out the responses he got when he posted it on Twitter. Tons of people, mostly Asians, are saying it’s the most profound thing ever, it moved them to tears, etc. I don’t know what portion of the U.S. Asian population holds Kang’s views, but clearly he’s not alone.

He recounts evil deeds that America has done to Asians at various times, but these don’t seem to done lasting damage if the demographic data are to be believed. Asians outperform whites on a variety of social indicators. Upon entering the U.S., Kang himself rose immediately into elite academic institutions and prestigious media gigs. The sense I get, from various comments he makes throughout the piece, is that he just feels fundamentally alienated from American society. He’s more bitter about that than about any specific discrimination he can identify.

And if that’s the case, my question for Kang and his Twitter friends is: What the hell do you actually want us to do? You’ve been admitted here by the millions, you have access to education and careers, you can get citizenship and participate in the political process. This isn’t the Jim Crow South we’re talking about here.

If his bitterness comes from a sense that he can never really fit in to the white majority culture, then it follows that he considers the majority an ipso facto problem, and is going to keep bitching until it’s gone.

Sid, the Holy Spirit has convicted them but their response is, sadly, suicide rather than repentance. They use emotional blackmail against weak and gullible church leaders who are fooled by political correctness and "inclusion". When Jesus said that anyone who does not deny themselves, carry their cross and repent, cannot be His disciple, He wasn't being inclusive. However, when He told all who are heavy laden to come to Him for
rest, that's inclusion. The word has been twisted so as to excuse unrepentance. Jesus excludes the unrepentant. Thank God for your posts.

This is your trump card. You think people who don't accept the homosexual lifestyle are filled with hatred but you're wrong.
I know several Mums and Dads who have been very supportive of the son's and daughters who have decided to live out their homosexual lifestyle.
These parents would never say anything negative because they fear being branded and despised as 'Homophobic' (namecalling)
When those Parents are alone they weep because the expectations they had for their offspring has been destroyed. They are bullied by political correctness to accept whatever lifestyle choices their children make but inside they are hurting beyond measure. They are breathless with panic because the aspirations of being a family now rely on them accepting the unacceptable.
You don't love your parents you hate them. If you loved them you would accept that they can reject your lifestyle but they still love you beyond measure.
The next time your parents tell you that they really do acknowledge and accept your lifestyle choices (no, honestly we're alright with it... No we're not just saying it we really back your decisions.... Trust us we love you and are on your side)
You rotten selfish bullies have just broken your parents hearts but if they told you that they know what a temper tantrum you'll have.
Don't point the finger at me and shout your vile accusations... My concern is for your immortal soul not for the selfish lifestyle that will soon be over.

This design features the symbol of the 969 Movement, which is a nationalist movement opposed to Islam’s expansion in predominantly-Buddhist Burma which is led by Ashin Wirathu, a nationalist Burmese Buddhist monk and spiritual leader.

The 969 Movement is a social movement to preserve the cultural traditions of Buddhism in Buddhist countries and organizes campaigns in support of mutual aid to Buddhists.

The design is composed of the triple lion figure used by the ancient Buddhist King Ashoka, and the characters are the Burmese numbers for 969, which symbolize the virtues of the Buddha, Buddhist practices and the Buddhist community. The first 9 stands for the nine special attributes of the Lord Buddha and the 6 for the six special attributes of his Dharma, or Buddhist Teachings, and the last 9 represents the nine special attributes of Buddhist Sangha (monastic community). Those special attributes are the Three Jewels of the Buddha. In the past, the Buddha, Sangha, Dhamma, the wheel of Dhamma, and "969" were Buddhist signs.

My cousin is in prison for knocking up a 12 year old, if that counts. She had the baby. My cousin gets out very soon. While in prison, he's seen his kid.
I felt bad for him because he didn't need to be in prison. The child looses a father, and the money from having a job. The mother lost any help from the father. It was a no win situation.
The family doesn't hate him. The fucked up thing is...and I hate to say this...my grandma knew this was going to happen.

How old was your cousin?

21

How do you think situations like that should be dealt with other than prison time?

In the case of this matter, it's probably not like what else you'll find. First, I come from a place where we deal with our own problems. We don't look for outside arbitration. Outsiders don't understand our culture, our customs. So, right off, police are usually out of the question.
Second. In this case, and I know this is gonna sound bad. There was nothing to deal with. No crime was commited, so prison was not needed.
My cousion is still the baby's father. The mother went on to have another child...it didn't stop her from fucking anyway. She's not somehow scarred or forever tainted. Life moved on.
In my cusions case, he should have just been forced to work. To pay for his child. Anyhow, there are a lot of other other missing info I cannot began to touch on. But long story short, prison wasn't going to somehow makes things better, but a job would.

What makes you believe that this was not a crime?

Well, techincally speaking it was a crime according to the state. From a personal standpoint, it wasn't because morality is culurally based and what is bad to me ins't bad to the next person, and what is bad to the next person might not be bad to me.
Moral relativism is the view that ethical standards, morality, and positions of right or wrong are culturally based and therefore subject to a person's individual choice. We can all decide what is right for ourselves.

Orthodox Jewish group sues town to keep religious markers
The Associated Press

August 12, 2017 1:03 PM
MAHWAH, N.J.

An Orthodox Jewish community group has sued a New Jersey town that has moved to block the group from building a religious boundary made up of white plastic piping through town.

The Bergen Rockland Eruv Association and two New York residents filed the federal lawsuit Friday against the town of Mahwah. They say the town is violating their constitutional and civil rights.

Some Orthodox Jews consider the boundary, called an eruv, as being needed to allow them to do things like carry keys and push strollers on the Sabbath.

Mahwah officials, though, say the markers violate local laws that prohibit signs on trees, rocks and utility poles, and they will start issuing summonses next week if it isn't removed. They haven't commented on the lawsuit.

The town lies about 33 miles (53 kilometers) northwest of New York City.

"The object, motivation and effect of the actions of the township is to suppress the religious practices of the plaintiffs and certain other Jews who reside in Airmont and other parts of Rockland County (in New York)," the lawsuit states. "The eruv presents no aesthetic, safety, traffic, fiscal or other concern to Mahwah."

Eruvs are set up in communities of Orthodox Jews across the country, including one made of fishing line that stretches along utility poles for 18 miles around New York City. Some have led to disputes, including a six-year legal fight in Tenafly, New Jersey, which was forced to pay a Jewish group more than $300,000 in legal fees and allow them to keep their eruv up.

The Jewish community's supporters say the incursion into Mahwah is only because the layout of utility poles doesn't form an enclosure around the Rockland County border.

In a unanimous vote Thursday, the Mahwah Town Council voted to begin issuing summonses Aug. 18 if the piping is not removed. But Yehudah Buchweitz, an attorney representing the South Monsey Eruv Fund, a subsidiary of the Bergen Rockland Eruv Association, told The Record that the eruv will remain despite the threat of summonses.

"There's no law that I'm aware of that actually prohibits the lechis," Buchweitz said, referring to the pipes that make up the eruv.

Mayor Bill Laforet has asked the council to hold off on issuing summonses and instead create a negotiating window with the eruv group. Laforet said a legal fight could prove costly for the town.

The dispute comes as Mahwah reconsiders a new law limiting its parks and playgrounds to New Jersey residents.

That measure came about after town residents complained of families with New York license plates using a park near the state border, but the county's prosecutor ordered the police not to enforce it after Mahwah's police chief raised concerns that people reporting violations were targeting Jews.

The eruv expansion and park ordinance follows years of growth among the Orthodox Jewish population in southern Rockland County in New York. There have also been complaints around the region of aggressive solicitation by real estate brokers looking to buy homes for the Jewish community in the suburbs of New York City and around New Jersey as real estate in New York becomes too expensive.

Quote# 130508

There is this assumption about pedophiles that we are all monsters, that we are all out to rape children. It is incorrect. There may be some bad apples, but the vast majority do not want this.
We enjoy children, it is easier for us to connect with them emotionally. We enjoy relationships with them. We do not want to hurt them (for most hurting a child is the last thing they'd do).
Most people attracted to another adult don't want to rape that person. They want the emotional and romantic attachment. Sex is part of that, but not the whole (and not even that big of a part).
Similarly most pedophiles (including myself) want a relationship with a child. We would not rape a child. The sexual attraction is part of it, but not a huge piece. There are a few bad apples in both groups. And with pedophiles consensual sex is still legally rape, which makes it easier to break the law.
Morally I think sex between an adult and child should be legal, as I believe a child is capable of consent (and there is plenty of evidence that many children are sexual). But I follow the law.
However, I do cuddle with children, hug them, tickle them, rough-house with them or hold their hands. There's mountains of evidence that touch is beneficial. As long as it is consensual (and I am very careful to make sure that it is) there is no harm - and plenty of benefit - from these activities. I'm not planning to molest a child (I'm not sexually attracted to many of the children I interact with), just doing things that we can both legally enjoy.

But seriously, ask anybody who’s HIV positive, they’ll tell you they aren’t offended that someone doesn’t wanna go out with them, let alone sleep with them.

I remember in one class my teacher invited one of her friends who was diagnosed with HIV in the 80’s. He talked about how it’s always difficult, but he always feels it necessary to confess to whatever girlfriend/boyfriend on 2nd or 3rd date. Most of the time he tells them it’s okay to not be willing to go out with him. He also talked about how he has rarely ever had sex, and almost never willing to sleep with someone. So honestly, people who actually have HIV don’t think people who have a completely natural fear of disease are scum.

This is such a fucking lie. You think that because you had one fucking dude who was diagnosed at a time when HIV was actually a death sentence tell you “oh it’s totally OK that I never get to have sex and that people constantly reject me,” you can speak for the entire HIV+ community? Fuck you.

The prospect of never getting to date or have sex is deeply fucking hurtful to HIV+ people. It’s so hurtful that a significant minority of poz people refuse to sleep or date anyone who isn’t poz, because the ignorance is too much to handle.

And the kicker is that the NEG4NEG attitude does fuck-all to actually protect anybody, because most transmissions occur due to one person having an undetected HIV infection and an out-of-control viral load. You dumbfucks cluck about disclosure and how NEG4NEG is “just playing it safe!” and ignore the fact that for many, many HIV+ people there wasn’t even the possibility of disclosure, because the person who infected them did not know they were HIV+.

Stop talking about shit you know nothing about.

Because Spoony refuses to accept the fact that ex-Trans and ex-gay people exist, crushing the lie of Genetic Sexuality and Fluid Gender. Www.sexchangeregret.com proves it, as well as the thousands of ex-gay/Trans testimonies readily available. Spoony is just a braindead zombie at this point, retweeting nothing but emotional based propaganda fueled from the same machine that caused such a large influx of fags to begin with. He refuses to debate anyone, which constantly pushes him deeper and deeper into the insane bubble of child minded narcissts on Twitter he has yoked up with. Faggotry doesn't make the world work. Teaching children that they cannot control their emotions and that their perverted feelings are unavoidable is essentially eugenics, because you are mind controlling children into thinking that fighting against perverted anti-humanity urges is bigotry, when in reality it is purely logical to be against faggotry. Again, ex-GAYS and ex-Trans, as well as statistics of Trans individuals largely being child molestation victims, only proves how much of an evil person Spoony really is when put into the perspective that he LITERALLY URGES PTSD SUFFERERS INTO SELF MUTILATION RATHER THAN SELF ACCEPTANCE.

(Nathan Larson is a candidate for Virginia state delegate who previously made waves for his stances in favor of legalizing pedophilia, incest and child porn. He has since drastically updated his campaign website and focus. His new signature issue is making assisted suicide available to all, including moody teenagers).

What effect would legalizing pentobarbital for suicide have on rates of recreational use?

If the pentobarbital were to be administered by a suicide clinic, this would likely be a non-issue, since they would only be administering lethal doses.

But even if it were made available over-the-counter, I don't think there would be much effect. After cannabis is legalized, drug users will probably mostly switch to cannabis. Also, most drug users are probably aware that pentobarbital is a dangerous drug best reserved for suicide.

But supposing some recreational users did get hold of it, and overdose on it, this could help weed out of the population those who might have a tendency toward drug abuse, so in the end, it's a net positive.

How much demand will there be for assisted suicide clinics?

I'm thinking the demand could be pretty high, especially among students. According to the CDC, among students in grades 9-12 in the U.S. during 2013:

17.0% of students seriously considered attempting suicide in the previous 12 months (22.4% of females and 11.6% of males).

13.6% of students made a plan about how they would attempt suicide in the previous 12 months (16.9% of females and 10.3% of males).

8.0% of students attempted suicide one or more times in the previous 12 months (10.6% of females and 5.4% of males).

2.7% of students made a suicide attempt that resulted in an injury, poisoning, or an overdose that required medical attention (3.6% of females and 1.8% of males).

That is a lot of people who could potentially benefit from this reform.

Quote# 130511

When I first came into Christianity, I was introduced to a poor suffering Jesus. He was presented to me as the 'camel through the eye of the needle-rich man hating' Jesus. 'The birds have nests foxes have holes' Jesus.

Basically, I was shown a very poor impoverished version of Jesus Christ. And I believed it. People told me you can't have God and mammon, so I rejected mammon and gladly served God instead.

But then my bills started stacking up. I couldn't always afford to buy the things I needed. Sometimes my belly growled and I couldn't satisfy the hunger.

My clunker of a car kept breaking down; and because money was so tight I couldn't afford a real mechanic shop to get my car fixed at. So I settled for the jack-legged mechanic instead: which always necessitated me needing to get twice the amount of repairs.

I found myself battling through bouts of evictions and homelessness: all while serving God to the best of my ability. It didn't take me long to figure out the obvious:

Something was wrong. I guess sleeping in your car at a truck stop for a week can make things a bit plainer.

So after many frustrating months I went before God in fasting, Bible study and prayer to find out the answer. And that's when I discovered that I didn't know the real Jesus!

See, I had met Jesus the savior. And I had met Jesus the Lord. But I had yet to meet Jesus Christ the wealthy Ruler and King, possessor of all wealth and riches in Heaven and Earth.

I had yet to meet the rich Jesus: the millionaire Jesus. Let me share something with you that'll help you if you can receive it:

Jesus will only be as real to you as you are willing to receive Him. Another way of putting this is to say you will only experience Jesus and His powerful capabilities depending on what you believe He's capable of doing for you personally.

Accept a limited view of Jesus and you'll only experience a limited version of Him. But take those limits off and you'll get the full total Jesus experience!

This is why Paul told the Philippians: "But MY God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19

Why did He refer to 'my' God - thus personalizing Him - instead of saying 'our' God? Weren't they serving the same God? The answer is yes and no.

See, the Philippians had an idea or concept about who God was that was based on limitations they had placed on God due to their own limited beliefs. So they were serving a very limited version of God when it came to their finances.

But Paul had a different more unlimited idea about God - his own personal version of our Heavenly Father based on his own concepts and experiences with God. He was introducing this more powerful, richer aspect of God to the people he wrote to, in order to bolster their faith to expect God to do more for them too.

We serve a really big God! So why do you limit Him when it comes to your finances? Why do you put brakes on a brake-less God by trying to limit His unlimited ability?

You cannot really put brakes on God; but you can limit what He does for you personally in your life. Doubt is the equivalent of putting brakes on Him. But faith takes the limits off and allows God to fully be God in your life.

It's time to stretch your concept about God: especially as it relates to finances. Jesus The Millionaire is an ebook I wrote that does just that. It helps you identify the limitations you've placed on God concerning money by introducing you to a more complete version of Jesus: one without the man-made restrictions.

And it will help you to eliminate those hindrances so your finances can start growing immediately. The number one way Satan attacks believers is through their concepts about money (sex is a close runner-up).

Therefore to avoid the wiles of the enemy you must understand what the Bible has to say about money and finances, and how the devil uses mis-applied interpretations of scripture to keep Christians in bondage to money problems.

Get free today by getting to know the rich "millionaire" Jesus! And take the limits off of God by downloading your copy of Jesus The Millionaire. In light of recent attacks against my own finances I've started reading it again. And its truths are absolutely powerful and liberating!

A chilling new poll conducted by scholars Ariel Malka and Yphtach Lelkes, which they write about in the Washington Post’s Monkey Cage blog today, finds that not only do nearly half of Republicans falsely believe that President Trump won the popular vote in 2016 and that nearly 70 percent believe that “millions of illegal immigrants voted” in the election, but that more than half would support postponing the 2020 presidential election “until the country can make sure that only eligible American citizens can vote” if Trump were to propose it.

Malka and Lelkes caution that this whole situation is hypothetical and that people’s views might be different if faced with the situation in reality. But they write that their findings, at a minimum “show that a substantial number of Republicans are amenable to violations of democratic norms that are more flagrant than what is typically proposed (or studied).”

It’s worth remembering that one of the many conspiracy theories that the right-wing media propagated about President Obama was that he would invent some kind of crisis in order to justify staying in office for a second term, or even indefinitely.

WorldNetDaily, the website that was the chief driver of the racist “birther” myth, also had a sideline in stories about ways that Obama might manage to stay in office beyond his second term. One WND story speculated that Obama “planned” riots in Baltimore as a step toward instituting martial law, forming a “national police force” and postponing the 2016 elections. Another warned that Obama might use the Ebola virus to create chaos in the country, declare martial law, and cancel the election. WND’s editor, Joseph Farah, repeatedly warned that Obama might find a way to stay in office whether Trump or Hillary Clinton won the election.

When WND asked Ben Carson, then considering his own run for president,“Who would stop Obama from remaining in office past his second term?,” Carson played along.

Alan Keyes, who was Obama’s Republican opponent in the 2004 Illinois Senate race, warned that Obama might use a nuclear war as a pretext to stay in office. Televangelist Jim Bakker and radio hosts Michael Savage, Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh also expressed their concerns about a third Obama term. Paid email blasts went out to the subscribers of several conservative websites warning of some unspecified event that “could propel Obama to a near-unprecedented third term.” In early 2015, a spokesman for the Family Research Council assured worried callers to the group’s radio program that there was “a whole host of people lined up ready to help make sure” that Obama would leave office in 2017, adding that a third Obama term was “a concern” of his as well.

The militia group Oath Keepers repeatedly warned of efforts to cancel the 2016 election if attempts to elect Clinton by nefarious means started to fail.

How times have changed.
