My article Gay Christian Movement Watch has received over 60,450 page views. But the external link section was wrong as the website moved to being on a Wordpress subdomain.

I never noticed this matter because I rarely think of homosexuality. Generally, I only think about of the topic of homosexuality when the media mentions the subject.

One of the reasons I rarely think of the subject of homosexuality is the inoculation I received against homosexuality from the John Wayne movies I watched. :) "Fighting soldiers from the sky. Fearless men who jump and die. Men who mean just what they say. The brave men of the Green Beret."

The Catholic Church never declared Freemasonry to be Satanic, they just declared it to be incompatible with the Catholic Faith because it contains doctrines and rituals that contradict with the Catholic Faith. They are a different religion. Luckily the American Freemasons were far better than the European Freemasons who were direct enemies with the Catholic Church since they helped overthrow Catholic monarchies and caused the decrease in the Church's power and influence in Europe. The European Freemasons are true Satanists while the American Freemasons had Christians in their organization and they did not harm the Catholic Church in America.

There is also evidence that Freemasons infiltrated the Catholic Church and were responsible for the horrible Vatican 2 reforms.

I have been presented with the ultimate intersection of Hollywood diabolism and Boomer propaganda in the 1998 movie Pleasantville.

[...]

The header image of this post is a frame from Pleasantville wherein the female character pictured actually plucks an apple from a tree in a garden and gives it to the protagonist. This scene precipitates the chain of events leading to the whole town's irrevocable expulsion from the 1950's paradise kept and tended by benevolent patriarchs.

Now, you might call that an implicit critique of the characters' descent into fornication, adultery, and rebellion. It would be, had Pleasantville been written from a Christian point of view. It is not. The rebellious townspeople's eating of the forbidden fruit is strikingly portrayed as an unalloyed good in the visual language of film. Not only to those who partake change from dreary black and white to vibrant color, their rebellion is directly analogized to Atticus Finch's defense of Tom Robinson in To Kill a Mockingbird.

The pursuit of knowledge divorced from the good is not the biblical message. No, that narrative has a far different pedigree.

That satanic monument proclaiming "Knowledge is the greatest gift" resides in the Illinois State Capitol. Its placement next to a Christmas tree perfectly represents the public mockery of America's cultural traditions perpetrated by Hollywood Boomers in the form of propaganda flicks like Pleasantville.

[...]

I remember when Jack Black thanked Satan at some awards show or other about ten years ago. Trying to convince my friends it wasn't just a harmless bit of fun proved fruitless. If only I'd known then what I know about rhetoric now.

Martin: It sounds to me as if Declan is a supporter of the IRA and approves of the Good Friday Agreement which, in many ways, gave the terrorists what they asked for. If violence is so close to the surface that it could be reignited by the " re-emergence of any physical infrastructure on the border"then it isn't actually worth having. What we need is the elimination of these evil men who kill the innocent.
The reason we had to leave the EU, indeed should never have joined, is that it is a corrupt, anti-democratic organisation that fails it's citizens when they are poor and vulnerable. To support such an organisation, which we were doing by our taxes, was a moral failure, to leave may enable others to leave and so bring down this monstrous organisation.

Shalini: Astounding.
When this government have tripled homelessness, doubled child poverty and caused the deaths of disabled and vulnerable people on benefits, diverted money away from the poor to the pockets of the rich?
They are planning to reduce workers rights currently protected by the EU.
I begin to think Martin that you must be one of the well heeled yourself, you never have an ounce of pity for theose in need and obviously are rich enough not to work , as you are constantly on these threads.
Explain why you have so much time on your hands.
Do you know the history of the British in Ireland?
They were colonialists there as elsewhere, with the same miserable criminal actions.

Martin: More socialist propaganda.

If babies were born with guns, they could SHOOT post-birth abortionists in self-defense

Do human beings have the right to defend themselves against violence?

Almost every thinking person agrees with the basic human right to self-defense. This right, upon further introspection, extends to all living human beings, regardless of age.

Post-birth abortion is a form of extreme medical violence that ends a human life, and with the Democrats now legalizing infanticide — the murder of a baby after it has been born alive — we need to talk honestly about the definitions of life, murder and self-defense.

As I point out in my podcast below, if babies were born with guns, they could SHOOT post-birth abortionists in self-defense. And those shootings would be justified and legal, since abortionists in the act are committing homicide against a living human being. Murder is illegal, and self-defense is a human right. Newborn babies are not excluded from this basic human right. Note that I am specifically not calling for any form of third-party violence against abortionists but rather affirming the right of the infant to protect her own life in an act of self-defense. (Yes, 50% of aborted babies are baby girls. Abortion is the mass murder of females.)

Of course, babies aren’t born with guns, which is why they are targeted by the Left… the same anti-life lunatics who also want to mass murder gun owners, by the way, by first disarming them through government confiscation mandates. Because babies are born defenseless, it is up to the adults of society to speak up for them and stop the mass murder of newborns that’s now being aggressively pushed, endorsed and applauded by the radical Left. (The political Left is now a death cult.) The way to accomplish this is not to shoot abortionists but to indict and prosecute them for murder.

[ quote from 2015 on a 14 year old molesting his 5 year old siblings ]


I have to say I find this histerical mob-frenzy against a horney 14 year old who made a stupid mistake 12 years ago disgusting.

He was 14 FFS, a child, and he's being attacked for it now so viciously only because he's a prominent christian. And last time I looked, being a christian wasn't a crime.

This is nasty, nasty stuff, and it gives athiests a bad reputation. Not in my name thanks!

As for the post, as a parent of two girls and a victim of childhood sexual abuse I can confidently say that if I had a son who admitted to touching one of them I'd be devistated and I don't know what I'd do. But I do know I'd still love him, and bringing in the authorities would probably be the last thing I would do, and then only as a last resort if I believed his behaviour could not otherwise be controlled.

Frankly, the way the Duggar's dealt with it seems to me to be well within the boundaries of what a reasonable parent might have done. I personally would have ensured the councelling was far more professional, but in general terms they dealt with an incredibly difficult situation, and to all appearences seem to have done so successfully.

Much of our modern sexuality pontificates with Pharaoh, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice?” (Exodus 5:2).

Some teachers can no longer say “boys and girls” in classrooms. In some school districts, young men can go into girls’ locker rooms simply with a note from a parent. Recently, actress Kate Hudson shared her plans to raise her daughter, Rani Rose, with a “genderless approach.” What a sad time to be alive. But not only sad: also dangerous and rebellious.

Into the gender confusion of our day, even razor companies are stepping forward to help groom the next generation into healthy expressions of masculinity. Therefore, Christians, of all people, need to be clear that brutality, passivity, complacency, and effeminacy miss the mark of manhood. Jesus Christ did not domineer, live disinterestedly, or act like a woman — and he is the model of God-honoring masculinity. But the inclusion of effeminacy in that list may prick some sensibilities today.

(In the topic "YouTube reviewing less than 3% of reports of child predators")

If people would shut down the adult sites the child sites would get shut down too. One thing leads to another. Both are entirely wrong. An 18 year old nakes is just a creepy as an 8 year old. Consent does not make it appropriate or right

Lolwut

Basically people are complaining about videos about naked children Im saying that shutting down those videos starts eith shutting down vids of naked adults.

Naked, consenting adults is nowhere near the same as naked children and it's pretty sickening that you would even try to compare the two.

Nonsense this moniker of consent doesnt make it appropriate or right and its sickening that you think that being 18 makes everything ok. It doesnt. Its creepy either way and its even creepier because adults should know better and their body parts are bigger hence the increased creepiness. Calling it 'expression' is like calling a bank robbery 'alternative financing' Its sad when strangers care more about kids then do their parents with them justifying every kind of crime and immorality.

Man, I am entirely through with this conversation. Neither of us will see the other person's side and it's pointless to continue. Have a good day.

Correct its pointless to post naked stuff of oneself in public.

If you are a consenting adult you can put yourself naked on adult websites. Adults can consent, children can't. Huge difference between the two

As stated consent doesnt make it right. Based on that logic naked children can go on kids websites.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump suggested Wednesday that the families of terrorists ought to be targeted in the fight against Islamist militants.

Trump made the remark during an interview on "Fox & Friends," noting the Obama administration wants to see Syrian President Bashar al-Assad leave power while the U.S. is simultaneously working to defeat the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), a common enemy.
"You've got to pick who you're fighting, you can't fight everybody," Trump said on the show.

"ISIS is our No. 1 threat," Trump continued. "I would knock the hell out of them. I like to do one thing at a time."

Asked about the possibility of civilian casualties, Trump initially pointed to civilians being used as human shields before suggesting the families of terrorists should be targeted.

"I would do my best, absolute best — I mean, one of the problems we have or one of the reasons we're so ineffective, you know, they're trying to, they're using them as shields. It's a horrible thing," the real estate tycoon said.

"But we're fighting a very politically correct war. And the other thing is with the terrorists, you have to take out their families," Trump added.

"When you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives, don't kid yourself. But they say they don't care about their lives. You have to take out their families."

WARNING! This analysis is blunt. South Park is a vulgar and vile movie. Any commentary will inherently border vulgar as well.

South Park is an incredibly dangerous movie for those who do not understand or are developing an understanding of the Gospel ....... INCREDIBLY dangerous! Some of the scenes in South Park reminded me so much of the image of demons screeching and dancing around a boiling cauldron as Satan gleefully looks on from the background as the demons pitch soul after soul after soul into the burning cauldron.

Satan is portrayed as the homosexual lover of Saddam Hussein and is portrayed as a sensitive, loving and caring being though the One who cast him into Hell clearly tells the Truth about him: that Satan's only interests are to steal, kill and destroy [John 10:10]. Hussein waves his disembodied male member around. And it was not a cardboard drawing like most other images of the movie -- it was of photographic resolution. The most foul of the foul words was clearly spoken by the children at least 131 times and many other times in a muffled or garbled way as well as in rapid uncountable succession in song [Col. 3:8]. The three/four letter word vocabulary was used at least 119 times, also mostly by children. God's name in vain was used 11 times without the four letter expletive and 6 times with it [Deut 5:11]. And many times the child characters were saying things like "What's the big deal" (about the foul language). "Suck my --", "Let's ([homo]sexual intercourse)", and repeated questions about a female private organ were but a very few of the vulgar expressions used by the kids.

Angels were portrayed as females - nude, very nude. God was called many vulgar and hateful names. Satan was glorified. Jesus was equated with sexual anatomy. A child was graphically incinerated by igniting his flatulence, then another kid tried to beat out the flames with a stick concerned about the stick catching fire. Body parts dripping with blood were ripped from a child by a surgeon who expressed flippant, shallow concern. The dead child was then seen with an exploded chest. The dead child, after being rejected from Heaven (by nude female angels) and cast into Hell (which is a violation of Scripture in and of itself), was then presented as a ghost trying to influence the other kids. An all-male chorus line wore pink bikini briefs. Homosexual acts were described. Decomposing burned bodies were cast as live occupants of Hell. "Big brother" electronic shock control of a child was used to prevent his use of foul language (each time he cussed he was shocked -- he used this shock later to defeat Hussein by shouting every known and several unknown foul words). A man committed suicide by jumping out of a window. And throughout the movie was script to promote licentious belittlement of wholesome life and entertainment: rationale to lessen even further the threshold of acceptance. [Rom. 16:17 - 18]

These are but a very few of the examples of ignominy in this sinematic cyanide. And the kids in the audience loved it, almost as much as the adults with them. Many of the children seemed to be laughing because their fathers expected them to laugh, looking up at their fathers, laughing nervously and loudly just so dad would know they were laughing along with him, not likely knowing at what it was they were laughing half the time. As long as dad was laughing. That was reason enough. May God have mercy on us. [Luke 17:2]

That is all I will say about the content this extraordinarily vulgar, vile, and repugnant movie. Other examples are just too vulgar and vile to even try to describe without being as vulgar and vile. Please note that the final score of 29 is not the lowest of scores earned by the movies we have analyzed, but this movie has earned the most severe CAP Influence Density (ID) of over 800 movies: a CAP ID of 10.65! Natural Born Killers (R) earned a CAP Influence Density of 7.46! Most R-rated movies earn CAP IDs between 1.00 and 3.00. A child cannot escape being influenced by "entertainment" such as this.

And you cannot imagine the depths of the influence of this sort of entertainment! In the months that followed our posting of this analysis report we received thousands of emails from adolescents who have seen this movie and spoke just like it. With the same or more severe level of contempt for wholesome and righteous ethics. I would post examples of their email here but most of them would look like "You --- ---, ---. You are a --- and a ---. Go --- ---. And see who cares about your --- ---, you --- --- sorry --- --- --- ---. --- my ---. And Satan's, too, you --- uncle ---- donkey ---." Just like South "Puke": BLU. And some people actually believe movies do not influence kids.

Lady Checkmate's headline: "Censored: See the Meme that’s Getting Conservatives Banned All Over Facebook"

Don't forget to RECOMMEND.

BY NEWS DIVISION · PUBLISHED JANUARY 31, 2019 · UPDATED JANUARY 31, 2019

Facebook has waged war on science. Even though the American psychiatric community is in agreement that misgendering yourself is a mental disorder, Facebook has decided that reality is against their community standards. A new graphic, or meme, is circulating on Facebook and countless Christians (or others who embrace medical science) have been banned for sharing this simple image.

As I’m writing this, I am still banned from Facebook for posting an article that alleges the same as the latest Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM5). You can read about that in the post, Facebook Bans Pulpit & Pen Publisher for Saying ‘Transgenderism’ a Mental Disorder.

It works like this; if you’re a man and you think you’re a duck, you have a mental disorder.

If you’re a man and you think you’re a house plant, you have a mental disorder.

If you’re a man and you think you’re a baby, you have a mental disorder.

If you’re a man and you think you’re a woman, you have a mental disorder.

It’s really not complicated.

The meme that has so many science-minded, factually-based denizens of reality now banned from Facebook is below.



No doubt, scribbling over “mental disorders” with the word “sin” (an altogether true statement, as ‘transgenderism’ is a consequence of the Fall of Man which corrupted our nature) was additionally triggering for Facebook, which apparently doesn’t believe people can state scientific facts or express religious opinions.

If you post this article or meme, you will likely be temporarily banned from using Facebook.

At one farbrengen the Rebbe explained:

The only way to guarantee that people should follow the straight and just path is to instill in them a faith in the Creator of the world.

[...]

And for absurd reasons, mentioning the Creator and Conductor of the world is not allowed in school! As a result, hundreds of thousands of Jewish children and millions of non-Jewish children who are enrolled in public schools do not hear or know anything about the Creator! The only solution to this is to institute a moment of silence at the beginning of the school day, which is designated to thinking about the Creator. This, the Rebbe assured the critics, would influence the rest of the day.

The Torah says not to worship other gods

And if you marry a nonJew your are automatically subjecting your children to other gods.

Even Jews who don't keep kosher know this, and are loyal to Gd to that degree. That's why your parents ask you to marry only another Jew.

If you are a Jewish woman, then if you marry a nonJew you are endangering the souls of your children.
They will have Jewish souls, but their loyalty to Gd will be compromised by their exposure to other gods.

Quote# 142300

(LifeSiteNews) – A coalition of Jewish female educators in Israel has issued a statement forcefully denouncing homosexual activists for advancing a conception of “family” that they say is incompatible with God’s teachings.

The group, which consists of 75 educators, Torah lecturers, and wives of rabbis, was started by Dr. Leah Weisel, the Dean of Students at Israel’s religious Orot Israel College of Education. Rabbi Yaakov Menken, managing director of the Maryland-based Coalition for Jewish Values, provided LifeSiteNews with an English translation of their remarks.

“The Torah of Israel teaches us clearly and unambiguously what a family is: a covenant of marriage between a man and a woman, who will, with G-d's help, be blessed with children,” they write. “This model was established in the beginning of Creation, even prior to the formation of the Jewish People. This is the family, and there is no other.”

While affirming that the Torah commands “empathy and affection” for people “wrestling with difficulties concerning their sexual identity,” the fact remains that “legitimizing a ‘new family’” requires a distortion and selective application of the Torah’s values, the group notes.

“At the very basis of the Torah of Israel are many values: mercy, freedom of choice, family wholeness, loving one's neighbor, human dignity and sexual restraint,” the statement reads. “All of these must be advanced, but it is unacceptable to pick and choose equality and individual liberty as the sole values of significance.

“We are disturbed by the prevalent atmosphere of suppressing any voice expressing loyalty to tradition,” they add.

Stressing that the family has “preserved [Israel’s] national integrity through the ages,” the group concludes that only “rely[ing] upon received Jewish Law” can “provide a complete answer [to modern challenges] without giving up on the eternal values of the Torah of Israel.”

The statement was motivated in part as a response to “gay pride” parades that took place in Israeli cities such as Jerusalem and Tel Aviv this summer, drawing international attention.

Israel has a variety of pro-LGBT policies in effect, including “anti-discrimination” provisions, open military service, same-sex adoption, and recognition of same-sex “marriages” performed aborad (Israel does not perform any civil marriages domestically). LGBT activists recently took to the streets to protest the passage of legislation disqualifying homosexual couples from surrogacy, however.

“What is remarkable is that [the 75 women], like the 200 rabbis, are not part of any group, they all joined together to sign this statement,” Menken told LifeSiteNews, referencing a coalition of rabbis that spoke out against LGBT activists last month. “The gay activists seem to have set off a firestorm, and now there is a sincere pushback coming from the traditional community, which is unwilling to sacrifice children on the altar of political correctness.

“If the data clearly shows that children raised outside traditional families are more likely to grow up into troubled adults, it is morally wrong to deliberately place children outside traditional families,” Menken continued. “And that's all we are saying.”

Below is an English translation of the group’s full statement:

We, Rebbetzins, educators and Torah lecturers feel a Torah-based, moral, and educational responsibility to express our clear and unequivocal opinion regarding concepts which have become controversial as a result of the recent LGBT protests.

The Torah of Israel teaches us clearly and unambiguously what a family is: a covenant of marriage between a man and a woman, who will, with G-d's help, be blessed with children.

This model was established in the beginning of Creation, even prior to the formation of the Jewish People. This is the family, and there is no other.

The Torah of Israel also teaches us how to love our friends and others, and how to relate to other people, [especially] to the orphan, the widow and the stranger.

Advertisement

It is from within the Torah that we are commanded to love every member of the People of Israel, and to feel empathy and affection, as well, for those wrestling with difficulties concerning their sexual identity.

Nonetheless, even with all of the foregoing, there is no place to gloss over the severe prohibition and distortion involved in legitimizing a "new family."

At the very basis of the Torah of Israel are many values: mercy, freedom of choice, family wholeness, loving one's neighbor, human dignity and sexual restraint.

All of these must be advanced, but it is unacceptable to pick and choose equality and individual liberty as the sole values of significance.

The Jewish family has preserved our national integrity throughout the ages, and it will survive the current upheavals.

We are disturbed by the prevalent atmosphere of suppressing any voice expressing loyalty to tradition.

As women whose lives are dedicated to Torah and education, women who have a sympathetic ear for persons with myriad anxieties, among them those with different affinities, we perceive the obligation to rely upon received Jewish Law.

We believe that in this way, with a clear Torah outlook, it is possible to provide a complete answer [to modern challenges] without giving up on the eternal values of the Torah of Israel.

We pray that the words of the Prophet Zechariah come to pass: "May you love truth and peace."

JERUSALEM, Israel, July 27, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Orthodox rabbis in the Holy City are reportedly calling out LGBT rights groups for using “aggressive terror” tactics to turn “perverts into heroes” in a letter published by Hebrew media.

The group of more than 200 rabbis wrote the letter in support of Jerusalem Chief Rabbi Aryeh Stern whose comments against LGBT adoption have created a stir.

In the wake of Israel passing a law to prevent gay couples from obtaining children through surrogates, massive protests erupted in Jerusalem Sunday, drawing upwards of 100,000 people.

LGBT activists were decrying the Israeli government’s claim that it would be an “additional burden” on the child to be adopted by a same-sex couple.

Then, Rabbi Stern whipped LGBT groups into frenzy by reportedly stating it is a “fact that kids are entering very strange and unnatural lives of living without a mother and a father”. He also reportedly called acting out as an LGBT person “forbidden”.

In a letter, more than 200 orthodox rabbis backed him up.

“[He] simply voiced the eternal truth of our holy Torah and human normality, which the healthy majority in Israel identifies with,” the rabbis wrote in that letter.

They accused LGBT groups of using “aggressive terror accompanied by non-stop media brainwashing,” in attempts to turn “perverts into heroes.”

That LGBT agenda will not succeed nor will attempts to shut rabbis and sane people up and try to turn them into delusional extremists, the rabbis reportedly wrote.

“Rabbi Stern was protecting the children of Israel, who will be miserable if they aren’t adopted by normal families,” the rabbis claimed.

In some LGBT media, the idea children raised by gay couples would fare any worse was summarily dismissed.

In an article in Pink News, writer Josh Jackman defended the ability of same-sex couples to raise happy, well-adjusted children by pointing to a study that concluded children of same-sex couples are just as happy and healthy as children of straight parents.

There are studies that show either no differences between children raised in same-sex households and those in traditional families with a married mom and dad. Many of those studies have been criticized for methodological sloppiness.

And there’s a lot of evidence in other studies that show a family with a married mother and father remains the best way to raise a child.

In his study, Growing up with gay parents: What is the big deal?, Dr. Richard P. Fitzgibbons surveyed those studies.

Among his findings, Fitzgibbons noted when gay couples bring a child into the world with the help of a surrogate, that boy or girl is more likely to have trouble adjusting by the age of seven than other children.

Another difference the physician highlighted was revealed in a 2013 Canadian study which showed children of gay and lesbian couples are only about 65 per cent as likely to graduate from high school as children of married, traditional couples.

In addition, a 2009 study of women raised by gay or bisexual fathers showed they were less comfortable with closeness and intimacy, less able to trust and depend on others, and experienced more anxiety in relationships compared to women raised by heterosexual parents.

Other studies report rates of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and emotional problems being twice as high among children raised by same-sex parents as among the general population.

“An objective examination of social science research into how families function reveals clearly that children do best when raised by both a mother and a father,” concluded Fitzgibbons.

Prior to becoming Pope Benedict XVI, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger summarized what several scientific studies of same-sex couples have since indicated.

“The absence of complementarity in these unions (same sex) creates obstacles in the normal development of children who would be placed in the care of such persons,” wrote Ratzinger, then head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. “They would be deprived of the experience of either fatherhood or motherhood.

“Allowing children to be adopted by persons living in such unions would actually mean doing violence to these children, in the sense that the condition of dependency would be used to place them in an environment that is not conducive to their full human development,” he said.

Chanakya Neeti: Never host these people in your homes (or your life!)

Do not host such people in your life

Often, we are in a fix about how to say "No" to people --- there are many people (in our social circle) whom we don't like, yet we are obliged to host them at our homes and at social gatherings just because we "have to". However, according to the great philosopher Chanakya, there are certain kinds of people one should never host or even acknowledge. Read on to know more...

[...]

One who has no knowledge on Vedas

According to Chanakya, a person who has no knowledge about Vedas should not be befriended. The Vedas are a powerhouse of knowledge and the values of life. One should believe in Vedas and have knowledge about the holy scriptures.

Why so?

It is said that people who does not believe in Vedas will not have any streak of positivity in them --- they will only think evil and even probably even do evil. One should not acknowledge such people in their life.

Atheist's claim to be logical and use reason, yet you can not even be open minded? Wow way to use scientific methods to prove if god exists or not. Math is the key to the universe, and i doubt any of you atheist's here are a mathmatician. While i am going to school to become a mathmatician / aerospace engineering and im possibly considering to get a Doctorine in Astro-physics. How's that for a stupid Roman Catholic?

I know I have the Holy Spirit of the Lord in me, because I am upset over the filth in our society today. Something is wrong with any professed Christian who is indifferent toward the wickedness in our society, churches and government today. I am an imperfect sinner myself. I have made stupid mistakes and decisions in life. Satan has tempted me and tried to ruin me, just as he does all men and women. We are all sinners by nature and by choice. Genesis 8:21, “And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.” Young people already have a sinful nature. The perverted music videos and worldly music inspires youth to sin, stirring up unholy desires and lusts in teenager's hearts.

1st Peter 2:11, “Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.” Taylor Swift is not gracious and she has no true honor. Proverbs 11:16a, “A gracious woman retaineth honour...” Swift is about as gracious a beautified pig. Taylor Swift and her worldly fans downplay her evil works as “just being human,” but in reality, it is all calculated, crafted and crammed down the public's throat by Luciferians to destroy America!!! The man of sin is coming, the Antichrist, and to be welcomed, the world's masses must become lovers of homosexuality, perversion, public nudity, new age philosophy, and all manner of wickedness.

The journal Science reports: Dog breeds really do have distinct personalities—and they’re rooted in DNA.[1]

Question: If atheists truly believe that dogs have personalities, then why do so many atheists in the world eat dogs? See: Atheism and dog eating

"The Race to the Pit"

Welcome to a peek into the near future of a misguided communist utopia. Ecstatic with the success of their recent infanticide bill, increasingly murderous liberals are eager to accelerate the globalist dream of slashing the world's population by 94%. Witness the HPV vaccine manically pressed on teen girls, resulting in cases of sterilization. An African nation files futile suit against a software titan, whose vaccination program here, as in South America, has caused sterility and autism. The fanatical assault on, and feminization of men guarantees a plunging birth rate. Whereas conservatives see the Deep State as public enemy number one, the left pictures this dire threat as a just-delivered infant. Enter the surgeon with a diagonal cutting tool, and he isn't aiming for the umbilical.
Yet the enemies of freedom aren't content to freefall over the cliff; they're on the way to the pit on Buck Rogers rocket backpacks. Herewith a look at some pending bills in congress. First, the Liberal Offspring Fairness Act (widely derided by conservatives as 'LOFA, or LOAFER): Do conservative parents oppose your enlightened college worldview? Been living the good life long enough? Disinherit them and take what's yours. Changed your mind about having had kids? The Stop And Take Away Norman act allows for their euthanizing at any age.
Recent news items: Chinese paratroops occupy the failed third-world state of California. When delighted liberal leaders greet them with open arms, they're promptly sent in chains to re-education camps. When New York's new World Trade Center lights up in pink to celebrate the S.A.T.A.N. act, an earthquake levels Manhattan.
Judgment, of course, takes many forms. But it undoubtedly lurks just down a country lane in. . . .The Twilight Zone.
