I checked google that are boys better than girls. It said yes because you see mens played sports on tv. I see mens have big muscle. Some women are stronger but most mens are stronger. Girls's legs stronger than boys because girls have wide hip. Girls are better than boys at school. Boys are better than girls at life.

Fundamentalist Christianity is under a heavy threat from an ever changing world that relies on science for answers, technology, medicine, research and exploration. But Tennessee Pastor Charles Lawson hates science almost as much as he hates Katy Perry, Lady GaGa and their devil music. Perhaps that is why he is conveniently using conspiracy theories and unconfirmed assumptions to fit into his own ideology.

After a lengthy discussion about “spirit guides” that can take us from the Earth to the Heavenly world on the lost continent of Atlantis, bigfoot and UFO sightings on Mt. Shasta in California, Lawson declares the “scientific” facts. “Think about what I’m saying about aliens communicating with you. Aliens from above,” Lawson says as he points toward the sky. “Something coming down from the skies and communicating with us here on this earth. A lot of scientists, a lot of them, and there’s really no way to know specifically because of political correctness and the pressure that’s put upon them. A lot of scientists have abandoned Darwin, but because of fear of losing their jobs, fear of losing the ability to produce papers, uh, fear, peer pressure, they have to keep it in, and they don’t come out with it, but here and there some do. They have abandoned Darwin. They have abandoned evolution.”

Of course, there is “no way to know specifically” since he’s making up his claims. Specifics are no match for a fire-and-brimstone pastor who can simply point toward the sky and say “God did it.”

Lawson continued that all of this comes down to scientists, who must now find answers to big questions, that evolution once provided these scientists, who have “abandoned Darwin.” Instead, these scientists “have jettisoned Darwin and now they’re looking up, and past, and they’re getting into the spirit world, into the paranormal world. And the two of them, they compliment each other, and they begin to get into something that their scientific books know nothing about.”

He is right about one thing, “You can get a Ph.D. from Harvard and not know one thing about a spirit.” Ghosts or spirits are not part of the prerequisite requirements for engineering sciences at Harvard.

“What I’m trying to do in these lessons,” Lawson enlightens his Sunday school class, “is to open your mind up and make you begin to think with a broader spectrum at the deception that is coming down upon us. Because it’s coming from every direction.”

The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) relies on science to get its work done. Their radio telescopes “listen” to the spectrum of the universe and their vast computers and volunteers to parse actual data gathered from real science. While it might seem a fool’s errand to some, writer Michael Crichton explained, “A wonderful area for speculative academic work is the unknowable. These days religious subjects are in disfavor, but there are still plenty of good topics. The nature of consciousness, the workings of the brain, the origin of aggression, the origin of language, the origin of life on earth, SETI and life on other worlds…this is all great stuff. Wonderful stuff. You can argue it interminably. But it can’t be contradicted, because nobody knows the answer to any of these topics.”

I predict a much higher conversion rate to Christianity for homosexual Atheists than for hetrosexual Atheists, starting in the near furture. The reasoning is simple: Homosexual Atheist are going to become aware much more easily that their sexuality is based on evil spirits than will the heterosexuals. God love us all, but the Holy Spirit will lead repentant homosexuals to a much higher spirituality, analogous to the parable of the Prodigal Son.

People everywhere, especially conservative Christians, are experiencing a low morale these days, and all the more so if Clinton is elected president, but they forget that God can bring good out of evil. No matter who is elected, things are going to be just fine because we are one nation under God, and He has not abandoned us.

There has long been an expectation in fundamentalist Christian circles that the various nations of Europe would unify due to the prophecy in Revelation. This was much pooh-poohed even as the Common Market took shape, since the various national politicians all publicly avowed that there was no intention of any political union.

Lo and behold, the European Union was formed.

There are other examples, of course. But Biblical prophecy has an observably better track record as a predictive model than either climate science or evolution by natural selection.

Quote# 118972

There was once a very popular steel guitar club in New York with the motto “promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” I was saddened to learn 10-years later that they had changed their club's motto to, “promoting the gospel of the steel guitar.” That is so sad.

There's only one Gospel and that's the Good News of Jesus Christ crucified, buried and risen for our sins...

I love the steel guitar. I love music. Albeit, I love God first and foremost. I am saddened when I hear famous musicians saying that their goal in life is to promote the steel guitar. What about God? What about the Gospel of Jesus Christ? There will be many tears in eternity, when men and women stand before God (2nd Corinthians 5:9-11).

...

What happiness will a Christian have in Heaven, realizing that you spent your life playing steel guitar, without ever leading any lost sinners to Jesus Christ, by the saving power of the Gospel (Romans 1:16)? The only true happiness in life is winning souls to Jesus Christ. Dwight L. Moody said that, and I agree wholeheartedly. Psalm 126:5 tells us, “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” Amen and amen. Proverb 11:30, “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” The Seed is God's Word (1st Peter 1:23). We are saved by obeying the Gospel, by simply believing on Jesus as the Christ, the Son of God, Who came into the world to SAVE SINNERS (Matthew 18:11; John 3:17-18; 1st Timothy 1:15).

The steel guitar is the most beautiful music this side of Heaven as far as I'm concerned. Albeit, the only true Paradise that I think of when hearing and performing Hawaiian steel guitar is in Heaven with Jesus. I look forward to performing pedal steel guitar in eternity. Romans 8:32, “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” Born-again Christians will have eternity to play music together, but now we need to mainly be busy about the Master's business preaching the Gospel to reach the lost for Christ.

Quote# 118967

Scientology leader David Miscavige banished his wife to a secret church facility in the secluded San Bernardino National Forest in Southern California, according to a new tell-all book written by his father.

Shelly Miscavige has been seen publicly only once since 2005, at her father’s funeral two years later, although police have investigated several missing persons reports and reported she was alive and well but did not wish to make any statements.

The 55-year-old Miscavige has spent most of the last decade at the church’s International Base in Hemet, California, according to reports — but Ron Miscavige’s new memoir confirms suspicions that she’s since been sent to live in a secret compound with about a dozen other Scientologists.

Shelly Miscavige, who came to the church at 12, was a feared member of Scientology’s Sea Org team and reportedly helped arrange the marriage between actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

Ron Miscavige said his daughter-in-law sent him birthday presents and cars in the early days of her banishment, but those dwindled off to nothing over the years.

“A former staff member told me recently that he used to see my presents in the mail center in the basket for the facility near Lake Arrowhead in the San Bernardino mountains, where I believe Shelly has lived since about 2005,” he wrote.

Tony Ortega, a former executive editor for the Raw Story who reports extensively on Scientology, has written about Shelly Miscavige and her situation.

He reported that Shelly Miscavige was essentially deemed a “non-person” by her husband after the couple clashed over her role in the church, and she was sent away in August or September 2005 after asking another Scientologist whether David Miscavige was still wearing his wedding ring.

Leah Remini filed a missing persons report in 2013, after leaving the church she grew up in, but Los Angeles police said they determined that she was not missing or in danger.

“Shelly does have some limited communication with the outside world, and was asked by a family member how she might be able to leave the base,” Ortega reported in 2013. “’There’s only one way,’ she responded, and former Scientology spokesman Mike Rinder told us he interpreted that to mean that only another family funeral would allow Shelly to go outside the confines of the compound.”

But both her father-in-law and Ortega believe she will never be allowed to leave the secret compound, where supposed enemies of the church and its leader are sent to live and work.

“We believe that she’s still at the CST headquarters, and she may or may not be resigned to her fate,” Ortega wrote. “We’ve been assured by former Scientology executives that David Miscavige put her there after making her a non-person, and that he will never let her leave.”

Re: 'Get a job!' Danish minister lashes out at Muslim youths accused of harassing bar owners

Well done, but women like her emasculated their own men. When I lived in Europe I noticed women in feminist countries like Denmark, Sweden, and the Netherlands were always desperate to be ****ed by foreign men.

In the Netherlands, for example, they have a problem with Turk and Moroccan "lover boys" who have hypnotic control of young, young girls. This sounds a joke but it is a serious a problem, where these Pakis turn the girls into whores.

Once women help kikes destroy their men folk they replace them with any primitive who knows how to put a woman in her place. A woman always returns to being treated like property. At least white men treated white women like valuable property. Women won't have votes in 100 years whether the Muslims win or not. The equality experiment is over.

Quote# 118961

Voodoo Comes to Church

Charm bracelet: a personal item of jewelry containing 'charms' which are used to ward off bad luck and evil spirits. Often used as a form of talisman: an item of jewelry infused with occult power, used for protection from bad spirits or for prosperity.

Mala beads: Mala beads are mysterious and 'magical' necklaces or meditation garlands that have been worn for thousands of years by yogis and occult practitioners from all over the world. Used by spiritual practitioners to chant the name of God, gods or certain specific deities. Commonly worn as a bracelet around the wrist, and often seen being worn
by many Christians.

Christians need to be very careful with the type of 'ethnic,' spiritual or other esoteric jewelry that they purchase to wear.

What may look like just a harmless bracelet, anklet, necklace or piece of jewelry could really be an occult talisman or charm that some witch or voodoo practitioner has invoked demonic spirits into/

Do yourself a favor and google the term 'voodoo bracelets.' You'll be shocked to see some of your own favorite cosmetic items pop up on the screen.

The Church of Jesus Christ needs to be aware that we are in a constant state of spiritual war. We are not here on a pleasure vacation. We are an occupying force who represent the Kingdom of God: a kingdom that is diametrically opposed to the kingdom of darkness.

Satan and his agents will not sit idly by while the church conducts its business. They are always busy, finding new and more inventive ways to impose evil into the lives of those who call on the Name of the Lord. Therefore, we must be alert like the scripture tells us:

"So that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes." [2 Corinthians 2:11]

As long as we're aware of how the enemy operates, we won't fall victim to his attempts to gain victory over us.

If you thought satan and demonic spirits were just lounging around twiddling their thumbs playing checkers all day while you live your life as a child of God: you have something else coming! The Bible lets us know that:

"Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." [1 Peter 5:8]

Don't let it be you!

This warning doesn't just apply to beaded bracelets and other jewelry. It equally applies to requesting prayer cloths from different ministries.

The prayer cloth is not a uniquely Christian phenomenon. Witches also use prayer cloths to transfer satanic and demonic energy as well.

The bible mentions that special handkerchiefs and aprons that were taken from apostle Paul's body were used as healing points of contact for others who were sick or demonized. [Acts 19:11-12]

But that was a unique occurrence. The writer of the scripture even went out their way to mention that those were SPECIAL miracles. In other words: NOT THE NORM.

Now every two bit sheister, shukster and TV preacher has a special cloth ministry. And if you're really faithful by sending in a "special" offering, some of them will even include a few drops of "special" holy anointing oil onto the prayer cloth. That way you have "special" added power!

Well guess what: witches, warlocks, sorcerers and occult practitioners use the exact same methods to impart curses and demonic energy into unsuspecting victims.

The Witches' Almanac, Issue 31: Spring 2012-Spring 201: Radiance of the Sun issue has a whole section on the power and effectiveness of using "prayer cloths."

The reason why so many "prophets/prophetesses" are flocking into the prophetic ministry these days is because that's the easiest way for witches, warlocks and voodoo priests/priestesses to infiltrate the Christian church.

They're like poisonous snakes hiding in the grass, waiting for the chance to strike at whoever gets close enough to get bitten. And many children of God are being bitten by these agents of the occult.

It's easiest for a voodoo priestess to pretend to be a prophetess and bewitch her followers this way, than to come outright in the garbs of a voodoo practitioner.

Giving prophetic utterances (fortune telling), imparting special prayer cloths (casting spells via clothing items or paper), promising financial blessings for those who give to their "ministry" (prosperity spells): all these are subtle ways that people who operate from demonic powers have successfully been able to infiltrate the church.

It's time to shut the door on these agents of Satan and kick them out of God's house for good!

Arm yourself with the right knowledge. I'm not saying every preacher using anointed prayer cloths are of the devil. I'm sure there are many who come from a genuine place. But I am warning you to be very careful and discerning.

Quit seeking esoteric and occult knowledge. All the power you need as a believer to live a very victorious life is found within the pages of the bible. All your answers to life's questions can be found there.

Become a student of God's word, and not merely a passive reader.

You also need a steady church home and congregation to become a part of. God calls certain individuals (mostly men) to be pastors over His flock.

A God-sent pastor has the divine insight, knowledge and ability to protect you from dangers you cannot see.

A Pastor's #1 mission is to watch over your soul and lead you to the word of God for your spiritual assistance.

And they can keep you from indavertently opening yourself up to demonic interference from dabbling in the occult, or dealing with those that do.

One of the reasons why so many Christians fall victim to witches in the pulpit is because they're not content with patiently waiting for God to deliver them from their troubles. Their impatience is causing them to run to Satan for what seems like a quick fix.

But what could look like a solution ends up being an even greater set of problems, and more bondage than they ever could've imagined.

Wait on the Lord, trust God and stand firmly on His word.

God never fails to honor His word. And he'll honor your faith too if you'll trust in Him.

Quote# 118955

How Witches Attack

1.) Witches perform black magic against innocent people. Witches are usually motivated by jealousy, hatred, and/or power, i.e. destroy anything standing in the way of a goal.

2.) Witches can make people sicken and die from darts they are believed to shoot at people. The darts are typically created from the bones of the corpses they have dug up. The darts are said to be either invisible or are very small, like a grain of rice or a mustard seed in size.

3.) Witches slip out of their skins at night and fly around in search of sleeping victims. Sometimes they choose a person they are jealous of or an ex-spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend to attack. Other time's it's the spouse or significant other of the person they want for themselves. In this spirit form the witch can slip into the house through even the tiniest crack or through keyholes. The witch will then locate the victim and paralyse the victim, pressing down on the person, scratching them, and feeding off of the person's life-force. Once satiated the witch will then leave the victim. Smart witches know only to feed off of a victim once and then choose a fresh victim each night. However, sometimes witches who are motivated by hate/jealousy will choose the same victim each night. If the witch is not stopped the victim will eventually sicken and die.

How To Defeat A Witch

1.) Repulsion - Witches are repulsed by bibles and anything with spikes or thorns that are placed in the doorways. These spikes or thorns really only repel the witch in her spirit form. Don't forget about the brooms.

2.) Pain - Red pepper, black pepper, salt, and just about anything that can irritate the witch while she is out of her skin can be used to bring her pain and prevent her from attacking. In her spirit form the witch is believed to be vulnerable. Also, it is belived that if you could grab hold of a witch while she/he is attacking you then you would feel "raw meat", as of course the witch is out of his/her skin.

3.) Seeds & Sieves - Witches are neurotic people. They suffer from a supernatural form of "OCD". If seeds are scattered around the bed then the witch must count all of them before she can attack you. Likewise, if a sieve is placed under the bed then the witch has to count all of the holes in the sieve before she/he can attack.

4.) Jesus Christ - When being attacked by a witch, when a witch is "riding" a victim, if a person can struggle until they can say "Jesus Christ" then the witch will be forced to leave.

5.) Reversing work - Reversing work will remove any black magic from a witch and send it back to her/him so that the witch is destroyed.

6.) Publicly accusing a person of being a witch will temporarily strip the witch of her power. A form of this includes writing the witches name on one's home, usually above the door or on a part where the public can see it and with including the phrase, "hag". (Ex - Janet Dawn Doe Hag) If you do this the hag cannot enter your home. Just keep in mind that other hags can enter your home!

7.) Trapping - A witch can have her spirit trapped, either in a device such as a "witch ball", a special mirror, or even in a bottle.

Have you checked the radiation plumes currently headed towards the West Coast lately? They will all be gone soon and then when the radiation dies down maybe the white people can relaim their West Coastal areas.

Americans often mistreat and dishonour their parents, dumping them into a nursing home and hardly (if ever) visit them. All across the United States elderly parents are withering away, lonely, in some nursing home. Adult children don't hesitate these days to rebuke their parents at the dinner table, showing lack of respect for their feelings, decisions and opinions. IT IS WICKEDNESS!!! I don't care how awful of a parent your mother and father may have been to you while growing up . . . THEY ARE YOUR PARENTS! You honor (value) them!!! I don't care how disrespectful and irritating they may be toward you . . . THEY ARE YOUR MOM AND DAD!!! You love them. You honor them. You care for them. You pray for them. You love them even if they hate you. If your parents hurt you, you don't hurt them back! THEY ARE YOUR PARENTS!!!

...

There is a woeful spirit of ingratitude that many adult children have for their parents. It doesn't matter how much that you do to help them, it is as if you didn't help them at all. One thing that I've learned in life is that there is only so much you can do to help your adult children. They are each their own person. They must seek the Lord on their own. I've seen preacher's children become atheists. How could that happen? After decades of hearing the Word of God preached, growing up in a preacher's home and a church environment, how could that child grow astray?

[ On a news story about a man who murdered his girlfriend with a shotgun blast to the chest: ]

"Prosecutors: Woman records boyfriend's remarks as he kills her"

Blowing away a woman with a shotgun is as horrible as it gets.

However, a lot of these American horror shows could have been avoided if moronic males did not continue to pass laws that wind up deluding females that they are equal to males.

A pretense of being 'equal to males' means to foolish females that they should be able to contend with males, and recklessly get up into a man's face. And everyone with a brain will know how such male-female confrontations are likely to turn out ... not in favor of the females.

Even males, who are 'equal' to other males DO KNOW and respect the unstated 'pecking order' among males.

Where males know to NOT GO with other males, some females just rush in. lol

TT knocked the biblical response out of the park! Great collection of passages.

Let me add the wisdom of my 27 year old daughter... I was lamenting some of the same core issues as the OP. My daughter simply replied to me: "Dad why do you expect nonbelievers to behave as believers?" She knocked it out of the park too. As we are the salt. We are a minority. I have shared with my bread baking buddies that the typical salt percentage in many breads, rolls and pizzas is right at 2% by weight of the flour, yet it controls the rise of the yeast and the flavor. Although a very small percentage of the dough, the salt is very important in its development and stability.

Bottom line: We are a minority in a foreign land. Soon, and very soon, the Lord will display to all His ways, and His people. Our goal is to be sure we are listening to and following His voice. Then the salt will be gone, and the yeast will rise with little inherent control.

Ok, well... I'm just about to the end of my rope. Patience with speaking with people is causing my head to hurt. Seriously, it feels like I'm banging my head on a wall.

I use facebook to keep up with friends, etc, but whenever I see posts that are just in your face offensive and derogatory towards Christianity, I can't help but speak up.

Right now, what seems to be coming across as the smart alec meme's of flavor this year, is about the baking of cakes for gay weddings and the North Carolina bathroom debate.

So, I'll typically say, "It's not the people that these businesses are not willing to serve. It's the event."

NOBODY EVER SEEMS TO GET THE POINT!

I even give little analogies (because these folks claim they're Christian, some of them anyhow) which goes as follows. Should a Christian baker be forced to bake a cake celebrating a Satanic black mass? Should a Christian deli be forced to provide communion bread and wine to be used at a dinner party as appetizers, for nonbelievers who think it'd be a grand joke? Should a jewish baker be forced to make a cake for a KKK rally, celebrating their whatever?

THEY NEVER SEEM TO MAKE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE PICTURES AND WHAT'S HAPPENING TO CHRISTIAN BAKERS/PHOTOGRAPHERS ETC., WHEN IT COMES TO GAY WEDDINGS.

All they claim is happening is discrimmination vs. the person.

I tell them (and this is 100% true), that I'm a nurse, I will help anyone. I don't care who they are, what the color of their skin is, what they do in their bedroom, and they can even curse me to my face and I'll still help them.

I'll cook them dinner, visit with them, be friends with them (I have gay friends).

But I won't (if it were my profession to do so) be forced to participate, provide goods for, promote, validate or confirm something that I think is morally WRONG! That being gay relationships and so called weddings.

So, for my troubles... what do I get..... I get called a bigot. Hate Monger. Intolerant.

It's the event that I won't support or affirm... not the people. And even with all of the above written out, they still act as if there's a huge disconnect between what I'm saying and what they're supporting.

Towards the end of a night in these types of discussions, I shake my head, and my thoughts immediately go to Romans 1:32, "... and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them." Bold emphasis is mine.

In these last days, I guess I'm fighting a losing battle. But in my own way, Christ may be using me as a little bit of cultural pushback to the majority opinion of these days. The restrainer in me, doing a little restraining, if you will. But I don't see it doing any good. Like they're set in their ways.

So.... last night after being called a bigot for the 50th time, I wonder, should I keep doing this? It's almost a compulsion for me to speak up when I see these things. My wife thinks it's all stupid and I should just ignore it (she's a bit of a baby Christian that doesn't like to think on these things much). I tell her you have to take a stand at some point, but she doesn't see it as being now.

I can see how in the near future (VERY NEAR FUTURE), that anything we say in regards to morals will be labled hate speech. Physical persecution may not happen here in the U.S. until after the rapture, but I think Christian freedom to believe and speak our minds is going to be SEVERLY CURTAILED, which of course is it's own kind of persecution.

Just feeling down, because I just want to give a different point of view and stick up for my faith. But people for the most part seem rabidly anti-christian. Even those that claim that they themselves are Christian (these folks butcher the bible completely and don't know how to discern what they're reading, or even do the simplest things like reading in context).

Maybe I just need to step back and take a break.... but if I do that, am I backing out of a fight that needs to be fought?

Rant off.

Thoughts?

The other shoe is going to drop....and soon. It may be the rapture or it could be some other pre-trib judgement that comes to the world. Remember, Hitler proclaimed that The Third Reich was to last 1,000 years. It only lasted 12.

With liberalism, humanism and apostasy now getting in everyone's face as well as flipping the bird to God including using the F-word, I think that God will move and soon. If the rapture happens now, then the lost will have 7-years to themselves. If they can survive God's judgements and well as man's wrath on himself. If they are alive at the end of the tribulation, they will see the One they were fighting against all these years; he will make them into his footstool.

In response to Target's transgender-inclusive policy, fundamentalist family group said it sent men into women's restrooms

A fundamentalist Christian organization opposed to Target's transgender-inclusive policy said it has sent men into the retail giant's women's restrooms.

The group, American Family Association, launched a petition in April that asks supporters to boycott Target stores. More than 1.17 million people had signed the petition as of Wednesday morning.

The organization is speaking out against a bathroom policy Target made public last month, which encourages transgender people to use the restroom that corresponds with their gender identity.

"We believe that everyone -- every team member, every guest, and every community -- deserves to be protected from discrimination, and treated equally," a statement on Target's website read. "Consistent with this belief, Target supports the federal Equality Act, which provides protections to LGBT individuals, and opposes action that enables discrimination."

In its petition, American Family Association says that the policy "poses a danger to wives and daughters."

Sandy Rios, director of government affairs for the American Family Association, said the group has sent men to Target to see if they could gain entry into women's bathrooms. The gender identity of these men was not made clear in the Rios interview, which broadcast on conservative radio show "Breitbart News Daily."

"I think there's no question that when you say that there are no barriers in the bathroom and that if men or women feel like they are men or women, the [opposite] of however they are equipped, and you have no restrictions, the net effect will be that people will not be stopped," Rios said in the interview. "We've already had people testing this, going into Targets and men trying to go into bathrooms. There is absolutely no barrier."

According to the Washington Post, there's no proof that the organization has carried out such acts. But men who oppose the policy have posted videos on YouTube of their attempts to get into women's restroom.

In the video below (on website), a man questions a Target store clerk about the policy.

Right-wing Hindu Sena asks gods to help Donald Trump win US election

NEW DELHI: Around a dozen members of the right-wing Hindu Sena lit a ritual fire and chanted mantras asking the Hindu gods to help Donald Trump win this year's US presidential election.

While Trump has dominated the Republican primary race to decide the party's candidate for the November election, his calls for temporarily banning Muslims from America and cracking down on terrorist groups abroad have earned him some fans in faraway India.

On Wednesday, members of the Hindu Sena nationalist group gathered on a blanket spread out in a New Delhi protest park along with a collection of statues depicting gods including Shiva and Hanuman as well as color photos of a shouting Trump.

The group chanted Sanskrit prayers asking the gods to favour Trump in the election.

Okay let me educate people on feminism really quickly.

A woman who has a boyfriend giving her sex and pretty much prides her self on that usually are the ones to go into feminism. These women are very doable and very into it and all. However the thing is that without there boyfriend/husband/family they could never really have anytime for feminism.

These women usually consist of better-off people from suburbs and small towns AKA rich kids. It is similar to roller-derby. Successful woman have big gap in her schedule and what does she uses it for.....rollerderby/feminsim. These women are very educated.

On the other end of feminism are victims of it. The people who have barely and education and sits down and watches television. The women who are coward about everything involving the opposite sex. This is where feminism gets it's bad name from. When a person attempting to get into feminism is limited and usually these are the ones who makes a business of it. However they are not the upper ranking feminist.

The evil-side of feminism is called womanism. They are man-hating women and many are Lesbians. There purpose is also towards segregation and negativity against the sexes. There are against the non-European and it has been shown the entire movement started against black men. A womanist is not a feminist as a feminist are for all men and sexually favors them a lot. If you see any negativity against men from feminist they most likely are in the ranks with Womanist ( who calls themselves feminists ).

Solution to feminism bad rap. Get a man a job and marry early and have a family that reinforces the marriage, like a loan-shark AKA shotgun wedding.

The problem is the victims of feminism is that normal woman when her marriage does not work out.

Brainwashing in 4/4 Time

Issue Date: May/June 1986
Brainwashing is easy...Hitler's director of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, told the world how to do it: Hit the streets with your message long enough; repeat it over and over, and soon they will believe it. History shows how well he made it work in Germany.

That is exactly what is happening today with rock music. Through constant repetition, the message of rock music is training the next generation. What is that message? Here is what the shakers and movers of rock music say it is. Frank Zappa, superstar of Mothers of Invention fame: "Rock music is sex. The big beat matches the body's rhythms." David Bowie: "Rock 'n' roll will destroy you. It lets in lower elements and shadows. Rock has always been the devil's music." Richard Oldham, manager of ROLLINGSTONES: "Rock music is sex and you have to hit them (teenagers) in the face with it." Alice Cooper: "The whole idea behind the thing for me is rebellion." Glenn Frey of THEEAGLES: "I'm in rock music for the sex and narcotics." Mick Jagger of THEROLLINGSTONES: "Ours is a group with built-in hate. We communicate aggression and frustration to an audience, musically and visually." "We're moving after the minds and so are most of the new groups." Spencer Dryden, drummer: "Get them when they're young. Bend the minds."

There you have it, right from the horses' mouths. Their goal, through constant repetition, is to fill the minds of the young with perverted sex, hatred, rebellion and drugs. It's open warfare.

And now, "Christians" who want to look as much like the world as possible, are bring the primitive "beat" into churches. The result? Christian young people are developing an ever-stronger rock sound so much alike, you will find them listening to both.

Slowly, but ever so surely, the message of today's rock stars oozes into the mind and soul, for repetition is the essence of brainwashing. And they're doing it to your kids.

PROVE GOD DOES NOT EXIST... BY PROVING WHY WE EXIST IN THIS VOID AND LIFELESS PLACE CALLED SPACE.
NO SCIENCE HAS EVER PROVEN THAT.
There is NO SUCH THING AS AN ARGUMENT FROM IGNORANCE is is manmade and created. However God exists even in tribes which have been undiscovered till recent times. It creates the proof above all that man has always know there was a God because he was there at the beginning and ever race has known that however isolated and undiscovered by the rest of the world they have been until now.


Now stop this stupid illogical reasoning and show us evidence... The only acceptable evidence from you is to PROVE GOD DOES NOT EXIST... God has shown you through Christ what to do to find him. If you don't do it then you have to admit you are wrong till you do and closed minded. Because others who have done what he says have found him.

Can we stop with all the stupid excuses and manmade arguments they really only show atheists clutching at straws.
Straw men arguments which show they have no real logical reasoning for their disbelief given the world around them.

If anyone is lacking in support and evidence then it is the atheists point of view.

So stupid to believe they can argue God does not exist in the light of they themselves exist in an otherwise empty void called space.

Seems they are willing to cling to any argument really fooling themselves that they actually have something to argue with.
If you do as God and Christ tells you, you will know if exists. Until you do you are not in a position to argue or call yourselves open minded... Because those who seek truth act on information provided. Till every atheist has acted on the words of God and Christ then they are no truth seekers and are not being honest when it comes to wanting to know if there is a God.

So when you have done as God tells you, let us know. TILL YOU DO, YOU CANNOT ARGUE AGAINST HIS EXISTENCE.

In the case of Mankind and God. what is the ANYTHING which MIGHT BE TRUE.
IT would have to include God made us. Because we did not make ourselves as the need for a man and a woman to procreate shows.
We are not making up the answer... The tower of Babel shows how God scattered the people all over the world giving them different tongues so they could not understand each other, each to their own Country. However in every Country and even the remotest tribes found living isolated from the rest of mankind all know and believe in A God who created the world and man.

Sometimes the evidence itself, is the most astounding clues we have. That all places know of a God who created us.
Even a flood is universally accepted in the world as we know it amongst those people.
So the evidence would suggest that God was there at the beginning and that all mankind in every nation knew it.
