As a guy i understand that theirs nothing wrong with rape its more like theft.

Exactly.

People act like it's the worst crime imaginable. It's no worse than a mugging (with equal chances of either being particular brutal if you resist), and nowhere close to attempted murder let alone outright murder. Hell, the vast majority of the animal kingdom, including early man, relied on it just for procreation.

Of course, we're the only modern species I'm aware of that has females who whine and cry and act like the world is coming to an end during childbirth, too. I can almost attribute that to the "oh, I just noticed I cut myself a few minutes ago, but it's only starting to hurt now that I've noticed it" phenomenon.

But the rape thing? It's pretty ridiculous. It's also amazing how it's largely women who act permanently traumatized by the incident, as if their life isn't capable of continuing on just because someone touched and violated their naughty bits without permission. Yet if it's a dude in prison getting brutally ass-raped? Eh, who cares. He'll certainly get over it soon enough, and probably won't even bitch or moan about it for the rest of their life, and act that if they're ever touched by another human being, they'll burst into flames or something.

Quote# 141048

I was listening to the Word of God today and the Lord impressed a truth upon my heart. Joseph and Mary were engaged to be married. One day Joseph found out that Mary was pregnant, but they had never had carnal knowledge (intimacy) yet. The Bible says that Joseph “being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.” There is a very important truth to be learned here for all of us, which is, not to publicly broadcast the sins of others!

Neither Joseph nor Mary knew yet that God was working the miracle of Jesus' virgin birth through Mary's body. So in Joseph's mind, it was only logical and reasonable to conclude that Mary was 100% guilty of committing sexual immorality. Joseph could have publicly shamed Mary, and no one would have blamed him for it! America's newspapers are filled with manure, publicly attacking people who do wrong. The Word of God says that Joseph was “a just man.” Joseph was a righteous man! A righteous man is not willing to make a public example of those who sin. Proverbs 10:12, “Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.”

Joseph was quite a fella. How would you respond if you found out that your fiancée was pregnant with some other guy's bastard child? I think Joseph deserves a lot of credit. The Bible says he was “a just man.” Joseph did the right thing. Proverbs 12:5, “The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.” The Bible says that a righteous person even cares about animals. Proverbs 12:10, “A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” How much more ought we care about people? Joseph didn't want to publicly shame Mary, dragging her family's name through the mud. The great lesson that we should take away from this passage of Scripture, is that the proper way to respond when people in our life sin, and betray our trust, and let us down, and hurt us, is to deal with the matter without creating a public spectacle to destroy that person.

We all know of people close to us, whether a neighbour, family member, co-worker, church member, spouse or friend, who has gone into sin. I am not saying that we ought not report crimes to police. I am talking about the person them self. We are living in a wicked generation that loves to criticize, point fingers, blame and destroy others who do wrong. The Holy Bible calls Satan “the accuser of our brethren” in Revelation 12:10b). The Scriptures do not call Satan “the FALSE accuser of our brethren.” If Joseph had publicly accused Mary of becoming pregnant outside of wedlock, and that he was not the father, he would have been telling the 100% honest truth! But Joseph, “being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.” Joseph didn't want to draw any attention to the horrible sin Mary had done. That is my sermon.

Sex isn't that big of a deal. It's just sex. The issue is people attach all these emotions and feelings around sex. It's in your DNA to fuck. You think the wildebeast gets pissed that bull from the other herd rolls up and dumps some cum into her ?

Maria - This is rather off subject but may be of use to you if you try and explain why the conservatives are progressive globalist marxists -
Greetings from God's country - the State of Texas
No escape from the Tories’ LGBT school agenda

If anyone doubts that the Conservative-In-Name-Only government is not conservative, just look at the latest guidance issued by the Department for Education. Compulsory Relationships and Sex Education will be introduced into all secondary schools, and Relationships Education in all primary schools, from September 2020.

Despite the vast majority of parents being opposed, the new curriculum will be pickled in politically correct ideology. Section 26 of the guidance requires schools to ensure that their policy on Relationships and Sex Education is in line with the Equality Act 2010, which demands that particular regard is shown to groups or individuals with protected characteristics, and allows positive action to support such groups.

In the brave new world of equality, diversity and inclusion, some protected characteristics are more equal than others. In schools, conservative Christian and Jewish teachers have lost out to LGBT activists, even though religious belief is a protected characteristic. To foster good relations with ‘gender reassigned persons’ and pay particular regard to their needs, teachers must accept and affirm the statements of children who say they are the sex that they aren’t. Since the inception of the Equality Act 2010, a number of teachers have been fired for refusing to accept the Orwellian worldview that they must obey and affirm children who are speaking nonsense.

Ultimately, children are to be brought up as gender neutral. They will be taught that they are not boys or girls but choose their gender when they are ready. This could be at age five, but it could be never. They can be genderfluid – a quasi-schizophrenic condition where one chooses one’s gender from 70 or so different options on a moment-by-moment basis.

LGBT activists also want to bring up children to accept the ideology of the ‘modern family’, which views the traditional family as just one of dozens of different lifestyle choices: thus, mother and father, two mothers, two fathers, single mother, single father, polygamous, polyandrous, etc are all equivalent and no one is allowed to view one family model as being superior or inferior, or more or less natural than any other.

The Bible speaks for God, it is the very words of God, breathed out by Him. It says nothing of 'gay persons' because they don't exist. The Bible does condemn sexual behaviour between two persons of the same gender. The Bible does define marriage as between a man and a woman. Thus I can say that a so called marriage between two women is not a marriage and sex between two such persons is sin.

At least 77,800 people have signed up for President Trump’s Houston rally on Monday to support incumbent Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, who is locked in the Texas Senate battle with Democratic Congressman Beto O’Rourke.

Supporters of President Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz started lining up for tonight’s rally over the weekend, in a stunning implication of just how energized the Republican base has become since the Liberals attempted destroy the career of Justice Brett Kavanaugh just a few weeks ago.

What once seemed like sure defeat for the GOP has blossomed into a rapidly-escalating Red Wave that’s poised to retain not just the Senate but the House as well. Make sure YOU vote in this election, failure to do so could be catastrophic. As for me, I plan on going into my voting booth and just voting ‘yes’ on everything that has a Republican attached to it.

I also visited the Chinese Grauman's Theatre, a very unique place historically, and saw all the hand-prints of famous celebrities, imprinted in concrete in front of the theatre. I saw the hand-prints of Roy Rogers, Harrison Ford, Al Pacino, Judy Garland, George Burns (and his cigar imprint), Stephen Spielberg (with his hands and heel prints in the cement), Tom Hanks, Bruce Willis (with “Yippee Ki Yay” written in concrete from one of his movies), Bing Crosby, Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell together (with the words, “Gentleman prefer blondes”), Gene Autry (and his gun imprint), even C3PO and R2D2 from Star Wars. I walked over to the next street, to Sunset Blvd. It was very interesting to be there. I had always wondered what it felt like to be in Hollywood, and now I know... It's a very empty feeling.

There was a bigger-than-life feeling I experienced while there; but I knew in my heart that most of the hand-prints I had seen, were put there by lost sinners now burning in Hell. I was saddened as I thought about the tragedies behind so many people's lives in Hollywood. Marilyn Monroe died of a drug overdose at only age 36. Judy Garland warmed a nation's heart during The Great Depression with the secular movie, The Wizard of Oz and her song, Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Yet, she died a drunkard's death in real life. I realized more than ever that Hollywood is all a FALSE REALITY!

Quote# 141030

So God doesn't know about sexuality? I think you're referring to your god again. Sexuality simply doesn't exist. Seems to me that if Jesus were talking about divorce then, if 'same sex marriage' existed, it would apply to all marriage. I think He didn't refer to it because it doesn't exist. If you can't consummate the marriage it isn't a true marriage.

Homosexuality is comparable to adultery and paedophilia, it is just a form of sexual sin.

I don't turn away those Jesus welcomes, it is quite clear that homosexual, like thieves and drunkards, are not welcomed.

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

[From "What is Southern Fascism?"]

Southern Fascism is showing up with your legally armed and regulated militia to protest the proposed building of a mosque in your town, succeeding in shutting the muslim colonizers down, and later that night enjoying your victory around a bonfire. Southern Fascism is walking into an invader owned store just to tell them to get the hell out of your state, and then driving the extra miles to support your fellow White man, thanking him for his service each and every time you frequent his business. Southern Fascism is denying the charities for Haiti and North Africa, in order to donate to your own folk when they need a helping hand.

Southern Fascism is stonewalling the pompous blacks in the gym, and seconds later shaking a White elder’s hand, smiling warmly and always referring to him as, “Sir.” Southern Fascism is lifting heavy in the morning and pickin’ and grinnin’ at night. Southern Fascism is walking through a crowd of invaders in a parking lot, forcing them out of your way, and then stopping to help an older White lady load groceries into her sedan. Southern Fascism is holding the door for your own, and only your own.

Southern Fascism is pissing on Abraham Lincoln’s grave, and then defending the Robert E. Lee statue from being torn down. Southern Fascism is shooting holes in the, “I’m with Her” signs, driving across town, and shooting holes in the Trump signs too.

Southern Fascism is pulling into the largest White Nationalist meeting held in 15 years, riding in a giant White truck proclaiming, “UNRECONSTRUCTED” in large White letters on the back window, the bed filled with proud White Southerners, the Stars & Bars flying high.

Southern Fascism is laughing at the mexican walking down the side of the road, and then pulling right over to tow your fellow White man out of that damn Georgia red. Southern Fascism is shaming wiggers and never embracing an alien, no matter how, “based” they look in their “Rebel” hat.

Southern Fascism is waking up early to wet a line, but arriving promptly at 11:00 a.m. to take your Granny for brunch at her favorite buffet. Southern Fascism is baked chicken and hot sauce, green beans and yams, NO potato salad, NO cobbler. Southern Fascism is iced tea, NO sugar.

Southern Fascism is naming the JEW, and calling the state of Israel what they are: a den of vipers. Southern Fascism is going to a church where your scholarly and righteous pastor preaches both sides of God’s true nature, and does so with a loaded 9mm under his vest. Southern Fascism is disciplining your children when they err, and blessing them when they make you proud.

Southern Fascism is correctly judging when a dog must be put down and not hesitating to do so, but weeping the loss of a loyal friend later. Southern Fascism is making “Jack Hinson did nothing wrong” memes and always referring to the “War of Northern Aggression” by this only acceptable title.

Southern Fascism is courteously explaining exactly what you love and support, and everything you stand for, with NO compromise and NO apology. Southern Fascism is joining the Sons of Confederate Veterans and refusing to disrespect your forefathers that bled for their people and this land by flying that damn federal flag over their graves.

Southern Fascism is being the only man to loudly protest White dispossession in your city council meeting, while everyone else insists upon sitting there “politely.” Southern Fascism is waiting patiently when arguing with an urbanite, only to better prove them wrong when they falter. Southern Fascism is telling your woman what to do and how to do it, and maybe giving her some loving later, if it’s not hunting season.

Southern Fascism is loving your people more than any other earthly possession. Southern Fascism is the unrelenting preservation of our sacred heritage and rich culture. Southern Fascism is respecting the people that brought us here, and the men that fight for it now. Ultimately, Southern Fascism is us; one united brotherhood, the heirs of a pioneered inheritance, and the mentors of the future South.

Trump administration trying to define transgender out of existence – report

The Trump administration is attempting to strip transgender people of official recognition by creating a narrow definition of gender as being only male or female and unchangeable once determined at birth, the New York Times reported.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has undertaken an effort across several departments to establish a legal definition of sex under Title IX, the federal civil rights law that bans discrimination on the basis of sex, the Times said, citing a government memo.

That definition would be as either male or female, unchangeable, and determined by the genitals a person is born with, the Times reported.

Such an interpretation would reverse the expansion of transgender rights that took place under President Barack Obama.

It would also set back aspirations for tolerance and equality among the estimated 0.7% of the population that identifies as transgender. Most transgender people live with a profound sense that the gender assigned to them at birth was wrong and transition to the opposite sex. Others live a non-binary or gender-fluid life.

A HHS spokeswoman declined to comment on what she called “allegedly leaked documents” but cited a ruling by a conservative US district judge as a guide to transgender policy.

In Texas in 2016, ruling on a challenge to one aspect of the Affordable Care Act, judge Reed O’Connor found there was no protection against discrimination on the basis of gender identity.

A leading transgender advocate called the government’s reported action a “super aggressive, dismissive, dangerous move”.

“They are saying we don’t exist,” said Mara Keisling, director of the National Center for Transgender Rights.

The Obama administration enacted regulations and followed court rulings that protected transgender people from discrimination, upsetting religious conservatives.

The Trump administration has sought to ban transgender people from military service and rescinded guidance to public schools recommending that transgender students be allowed to use the bathroom of their choice.

A draft of the Trump administration memo says gender should be determined “on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable”, the memo says, according to the Times.

Medical science seeking to explain what makes people transgender is in its infancy. Psychiatrists no longer consider being transgender a disorder and several US courts have found the Obama interpretation of protecting transgender people against discrimination to be sound.

But the Trump administration has chosen to abide by the ruling of O’Connor, the Times said.

“The court order remains in full force and effect today and HHS is abiding by it as we continue to review the issue,” Roger Severino, director of the HHS Office for Civil Rights, said in a statement.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — A video recently published to YouTube features a California man and his wife who consider themselves “human pup” and “handler,” as the woman, who identifies as a man, likes to role-play as a dog.

Barcroft TV released an episode of “Extreme Love” last week with Andrew McGinn, 32, of Los Angeles, and his wife, 30, who goes by the name Tony.

“My responsibility is similar to the responsibility with a regular dog,” he said. “I hang out and provide him with lots of attention and tell him that he’s a good boy.”

In the video, Mrs. McGinn explains that she never grew out of playing pretend from her childhood and has been role-playing as a dog her entire life.

Many who have viewed the video have left comments expressing that they found the footage to be disturbing.

“Imagine the look on God’s face right now,” one viewer wrote.

“Every day we stray further from God’s light,” another opined.

One viewer simply wrote, “They need Jesus.”

In Matthew 9:12-13, Jesus explained, “They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth: I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

Warning: Video not appropriate for children.

In response to Occupy Democrats calling out the Republicans on purging voters, Meme Cop pulls out a bunch of trivial details below....

This meme from Occupy Democrats leaves out some context that would change many people’s view of this.
-The meme makes it seem like GA voters were purged for missing an election or two and have no idea. Here’s how their “use it or lose it” law actually works:
-The removal process begins if a person fails to vote, respond to a notice or make contact with election officials over a three-year period. Then, if they fail to vote or make contact with election officials in TWO MORE election cycles, they will be purged from the rolls.
-The process takes 7 YEARS, which means this affected voters who hadn’t voted or responded to notices since the 2010 election.
-8 other states have similar laws (Alaska, Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon and West Virginia). The purpose is to remove people from the rolls who have moved away from the state, as they generally won’t tell election officials, and these registrations could potentially be used fraudulently.
-This law was passed in the early 90’s under Democrat leadership. To be fair, it’s now being used by Republicans, which means they probably think it will benefit them somewhat, but it was Democrats who made the process possible. This fact was not even mentioned in The Hill article.
-In June of 2018, The Supreme Court ruled these laws didn’t violate Federal law. Thus, these actions are legal and not “stealing an election”. In fact, one could argue NOT purging the rolls as the law dictates would be illegal and a violation of election law.
-This wasn’t a report from The Hill, they just published a brief synopsis of an in-depth article from APM Reports. This report did not say “most of these voters have no idea they’ve been purged”. It said “many” might not realize it. The truth is no one knows if they realized it or not, or how many of them even still live in Georgia, or plan to vote.

All men are sinners and all are called to repent. Sex outside of marriage is a sin. Marriage is between one man and one woman.

David: Rejoice for Romania is about to have a national referendum as to whether their national constitution should be amended to state that marriage can only be between a man and a woman.
That's what I call a proper democracy. The contrast with Cameron who, on the eve of the election, stated that he would not be redefining marriage, but then went ahead and did it, is enormous. It starkly illustrates how little respect our political class has for democracy, which is why they have found it so easy historically, and even now, to surrender it to the EU whilst ignoring us, the people. Meanwhile as Romania sets about affirming its democracy and Christian culture, the atheist Liberals and Socialists of Brussels are greatly agitated at such an upholding of traditional Christian faith and practice.
Thank God for the brave Visegrad nations of the east, who having seen close at hand, if not experienced directly themselves, centuries of totalitarianism from first Islam and then Soviet Russia, are now determined to protect their democracies and Christian cultural inheritances from today's secular forces demanding their compliant obedience.

Fred Uttlescay: It only affects gays, bigot. Why shouldn’t they have equality?

Peter Watson : They have equality before Christ - in that they may repent of their sins and be saved from the wrath of God. In this, all men are equal. Male/female/Jew/Greek. In Christ all are equal. Outside of Christ all are lost.

Fred Uttlescay: So no problem about gays being married then. They can just say sorry Jesus old sport and go to heaven.

Peter Watson: Marriage is between a man and a woman. End of. You can pretend of course, just as you pretend there is no God.

Fred Uttlescay: Or just as you pretend there is!

Peter Watson: Who made you?? Where did matter come from? Why do you think your ideas are worth considering? Where will you go when you die? What makes right from wrong? Wake up Fred before you spend eternity in Hell.

Fred Uttlescay: Who made you?? ............. My mum and dad.
Where did matter come from?...............No idea. Should I ask a desert tribe or simply make something up and put it in a book?
Where will you go when you die? ...........A crematorium, then back to the soil.
What makes right from wrong? ...............We decide. Those that can't decide for themselves are very dangerous psychopaths.
spend eternity in Hell............I will no longer exist, so can't spend an eternity anywhere.

Peter Watson: Then you are truly without hope and hopeless but as you don't even understand that if as you wrote "We decide" right from wrong as I have decided that you are wrong, then you are truly insane. And blocked. I have shaken the dust off my feet and stopped casting pearls at swine. Good bye Fred. And remember - when you meet God you will not be able to utter the defense of "but you never told me" - people witnessed and witness to you, the Bible is in English for you and the creation screams Creator at you.

[ in respnse to a 12 year old being killed by a crocodile]

I hope this may help some of you on both sides (pro gator/poor child, family and friends)
My daughter was warned to NEVER go to a sand pit on the property next door where she liked to go to catch bullfrog tadpoles. She was warned about the drop-offs and how dangerous they can be, how so many children drown in them. The day after a most severe warning she sneaked off with her younger brother and her friend. [b
]She sneaked away and she drowned.[/b] Did she deserve it? No. Is it her fault? Yes

She was almost 11, she was a very bright girl who attended William and Mary University as part of the "Gifted" program, so she wasn't stupid. Maybe she thought she was so smart she thought she knew better. She was hard headed.
I know it was her fault. I don't want or need the pit filled in or have a fence around it even though it was offered(revenge). I doubt anyone will ever go there again for a long time except to visit the place where she died. The death of a child devastates a community.

Sorry for your loss tunabreath. But the fact that people - even 11-12 year old children, bear tragic consequences for their stupid choices, doesn't change my opinion.

People cannot be protected from every possible danger in the world. They certainly cannot be protected from themselves if they wish to act recklessly or foolishly.

A greater percentage of kids who choose to ride bikes without helmets, swim with gators, or ignore their parents' repeated instructions about avoiding water-filled sandpits are going to die than kids who wear their helmets, swim in safe places or at least get their foolish asses out of the water when the gators slide their asses in, or listen to their parents' repeated stern warnings.

And that, IMO, is how it should be.

Do the dead kids "deserve" to die? Well, not if you think that means they were "bad" people to whom "bad" things should occur. But I do not think it is really a terrible thing when people bear the consequences of their reckless behavior.

Personally, I get a lot more broken up about a little kid who develops cancer, than some kid who endangers himself. Many people have commented that there isn't exactly a shortage of alligators. Well, it doesn't look like we are in danger of running out of 12 year old kids either.

And I feel VERY strongly about the inherent good of wild places and wildlife.

Unfortunately, I think most humans are too shortsighted or outright ignorant to realize the harm they are doing their descendants countless generations down the line when they cut down, drain, and pave increasing amounts of natural habitat. For the most part, people do not move into swamps, forests, and mountains out of necessity. Instead, it is done out of selfish preference (at least in developed countries).

Again, I far prefer that stupid and/or reckless kids die, than those who heed their parent's warnings and exercise common sense. Recalling back to nature shows on public TV, isn't it the foolish and reckless specimens (in addition to the old or sick) that get culled from the herd? Sorry you guys dislike having such terms applied to your particular species of beast, but your indignation does not make those terms any less accurate.

First, my opinion of the film overall. The latest STAR WAR VII film is awful. I remember seeing Star Wars: A New Hope three times when I was ten years old. The first two films were really great, but George Lucas messed up Return Of The Jedi with animated character Jabba the Hutt's big tongue licking on Princess Leia scantily clad body. That was just low-class and stupid in my opinion. What is it with Hollywood and big tongues licking women, like in Jurassic Park II and numerous other movies? PERVERTS! The three STAR WARS prequels were better than I expected, mainly because of great acting by Samuel Jackson and a well-selected cast of actors.

Unfortunately, STAR WARS VII has the lousiest cast of actors. For the first time, political correctness became a major factor in the film's script. At the beginning of the movie, a Storm Trooper removes his white helmet, so you can clearly see a black man's face with big negro lips. I'm not racist, nor am I trying to be unkind, but it offends me when film writers intentionally shove someone else's skin color in my face. If you understand the sinister agenda behind the Devil's New World Order (NWO)—which is the Beast system of the coming Antichrist—then you understand that Satan is trying to break down all human barriers of language, race, ethnicity, culture, national borders, sexuality, parental authority, and Christianity.

The Devil is also intentionally confusing the sexes concerning gender, corrupting the Bible versions, confusing people with umpteen religions, morality and the value of life. People are so confused these days about everything. This is an agenda of the NWO, so that a confused people will become vulnerable and powerless in such a comatose state of mind. Televisions are nothing more than indoctrination devices used by the Devil, lobotomizing the masses from the truth.

It is obvious that the latest STAR WARS VII sequel is loaded with Pentagon propaganda to lure young women to join the military. The film pushes women in combat. The central female figure in the film is portrayed as capable of doing anything. She can operate and fly any vehicle, do anything better than a man, defeat men in combat, fight anything, et cetera. SHE-MAN!!! The film is total agenda-driven brainwashing!!! It's a false reality, attempting to seduce people into a false second reality.

"We call these practices [anti-government demonstrations] perverse, sinister, diabolic, satanic, because they are not in keeping with our faith or our Christian principles. Crimes of hate, the whims of malevolent individuals; but God is the one who judges, and God is the one who leads us along righteous paths".
