The Oxford comma is a comma used after the second to last item in a list of three or more items.

Why is the Oxford comma necessary?


WITH OXFORD COMMA: "I love my parents, Ronald McDonald, and Swiss cheese."

WITHOUT OXFORD COMMA: "I love my parents, Ronald McDonald and Swiss cheese."

Did Ronald McDonald and Swiss cheese birth a child? Clearly atheistic liberals who believe that women can become men, humans evolved from apes, and Taylor Swift is a good role model clearly believe enough nonsensical hocus pocus to find such a scenario possible.

Quote# 141201

Certainly, there are saved and unsaved people in every nation; but some nations are so saturated with false religion that nearly all of them are going to Hell. Acts 17:27 teaches us that the reason why God scattered mankind at the Tower of Babel was so they they would “seek the Lord.” Before Babel, the entire world became corrupted, so bad, so fast, that God decided to destroy the world by flood. When Noah and his family got off the ark, they were all Christians. But it was just a matter of time before the world once again went into utter wickedness, and Noah's descendants forsook God.

As hard as it is to imagine, entire nations will be cast into the Lake of Fire. It will be very sad in eternity, when an entire culture is cast into Hell forever. So many people are going to Hell because don't love God more than their own family and nation. This is why Jesus taught that a man must hate his own family (Luke 14:26), in comparison to his love for God. Jesus was teaching that we ought to obey God above all else (Romans 3:4). I know people who won't come out of the Catholic Church because they love their family more than God. It is evil. I know people who won't go soul-winning, because they love this present world (2nd Timothy 4:10). Hardly anyone loves God anymore.

All of the Arab nations today are predominantly Muslim, following the false religion of Islam. Those nations will all be cast into Hell. Only those few individuals who have been born-again in Jesus Christ will be spared the wrath of God in Hell fire. Romans 5:9, “Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.” Only through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ can anyone be saved from the wrath of God the Father.

The Bible proclaims in Psalm 9:17 that the wicked and ALL THE NATIONS THAT FORGET GOD shall be turned into Hell.

1st John 2:22 plainly teaches that anyone who denies Jesus is the Christ is a LIAR. Anyone who teaches and follows ANOTHER GOSPEL is going to Hell (2nd Corinthians 11:4). The perverted Gospel of the Catholic religion is demonic. As much as I try to warn people and wake them up, most people don't listen. They are fools headed for destruction in Hell.

Sad, but true, entire nations are so wicked and rebellious against the truth that hardly any of them are born-again Christians. I'm not saying that there aren't Christians in every nation; but the number is so few that 99% of it's inhabitants are going to Hell. I'm just preaching the Bible.

Quote# 141196

At The American, AEI resident scholar Andrew Biggs highlights an interesting study that confirms what most conservatives probably already know to be true of themselves: We understand why our liberal friends think what they think more than they understand why we think what we think.

[University of Virginia professor Jonathan] Haidt’s research asks individuals to answer questionnaires regarding their core moral beliefs—what sorts of values they consider sacred, which they would compromise on, and how much it would take to get them to make those compromises. By themselves, these exercises are interesting. (Try them online and see where you come out.)

But Haidt’s research went one step further, asking self-indentified conservatives to answer those questionnaires as if they were liberals and for liberals to do the opposite. What Haidt found is that conservatives understand liberals’ moral values better than liberals understand where conservatives are coming from. Worse yet, liberals don’t know what they don’t know; they don’t understand how limited their knowledge of conservative values is. If anyone is close-minded here it’s not conservatives.

Haidt has one theory to explain his results, while Biggs has another. Haidt says conservatives speak a broader and more encompassing language of six moral values, while liberals focus on a narrow subset of those values. Biggs says conservatives understand liberal positions because they’re inundated with them — by the media, by academia, even to a certain extent by the culture.

Haidt and Biggs both have a point. It takes just about a year of actively debating politics or witnessing the debate of politics to realize that (a) the two parties to the debate don’t speak the same language and (b) the liberal party will have few opportunities to learn the conservative’s language. It’s not only that we don’t use the same words, it’s that we also assign completely different meanings to the same words.

The president’s prattling about the Buffett Rule is a perfect example. He repeatedly uses the word “fair” when he discusses this rule that would require anyone who earns more than $1 million a year to pay at least 30 percent in taxes. The Buffett Rule is actually officially named “The Paying a Fair Share Act.”

Conservatives have been quick to cede the word “fair” to the president. Instead of debating whether The Buffett Rule actually is fair, we’ve focused on the idea that economic growth and entitlement reform are the keys to deficit reduction. We know that our definition of “fair” is different than liberals’ definition of “fair,” so we’re never going to be able to convince liberals that the Buffett Rule actually is unfair. In a world dominated by liberal influences in the media, academy and culture, we have no choice but focus on the fact that The Buffett Rule would do very little to reduce the deficit.

If liberals understood the conservative definition of “fair,” they might better understand how it’s possible to oppose the Buffett Rule. As the debate stands at this moment, it’s conceivable that the average liberal thinks conservatives actually oppose a rule we think is fair just because we don’t think it will adequately reduce the deficit. But why would anybody oppose a fair rule? In fact, we oppose the Buffett Rule because, by our definition, it is unfair — not to mention that it does very little to reduce the deficit. (As an aside, I’ve been searching for an article in which a conservative argues explicitly that the Buffett Rule is unfair and am finding it surprisingly hard to find. Has anybody read a good one?)

The word “just” is defined as “based on right.” Our concept of what is fair starts with our concept of what is a right. Whereas progressives think that rights are given by the government, conservatives think that “we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights.” Among our God-given rights is the right to keep the fruits of our labor. So far, I have never heard a good argument that we have a right or a claim to the fruits of others’ labor unless they have promised them to us for some reason. We certainly never have an intrinsic a priori claim on the fruits of someone else’s labor.

As long as he is allowed to keep what he has earned, the conservative thinks he has been treated fairly — even if others have more than he has. The liberal has a completely different definition of fairness. Liberals seem to think we have a right to the same fruits no matter what our labor.

It is true that different kinds and quantities of work yield different kinds and quantities of fruits. That is sometimes hard to take — but if, in the end, we receive the fruits we agreed to when we selected our labor, then the fruits we receive are fair. (For example, if we agree to a particular day’s wages and we receive that day’s wages, then we have been treated fairly. Nobody changed the deal to which we agreed.) In making the choice to be a secretary and not a hedge fund manager, for example, the secretary forgoes some of the fruits of the hedge fund manager — but obtains some fruits the hedge fund manager never tastes, say the fruit of more time to spend with family or the fruit of less stress. If we are not content with the fruits of our labor, perhaps we ought first to consider changing our labor, rather than demand we be given different fruits.

One last thought: Conservatives clearly have a more expansive view of what constitutes “fruits.” We do not measure success and fairness solely by money. In the example above, I recognize the worth of time off and less pressure — two intangibles. For all that liberals like to talk about conservative greed, it’s interesting that conservatives can content themselves with less money in exchange for other benefits whereas liberals seem blind to those benefits and just want the money.

“It is our aim to protect European economic operators engaged in legitimate business with Iran,” they said.”

Money, money, money is all that matters to the EU institution. Where is the consideration of the longer term consequences of their actions.

At some point it is going to be necessary to take action against this proliferation of dictatorial regimes. Better it is done as quickly as possible rather than delay and face far worse consequences.

“Several senior EU ministers assured Zarif of their support for Tehran over the phone. “Mogherini and the European ministers … reiterated their commitment to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and emphasized the efforts to maintain financial channels with Tehran and the continuation of Iran’s oil and gas exports,” IRNA reported.”

With the lack of appreciation on display by Europe of the peace kept by the US over many decades the ingrates are now siding with dictatorial regimes against the US. To say that Europe is short sighted is too kindly an explanation – Its motivation is shown in the unedifying display of them constantly falling over themselves after money, money, money to the exclusion of other considerations. It is shameful.

“All that glisters is not gold;
Often have you heard that told.
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold.
Gilded tombs do worms enfold.”

I would bid ‘a gentle riddance’ of those who reiterated their commitment to the deal.

DJT’s administration has in fact been clear that the sanctions on Iran should not harm the civilian population i.e. that funds would be available to be spent on food and medicines thereby protecting the civilian population.

The Iranian regime has not been spending the funds from oil and its banking sector on the civilian population but on their military ambitions.

With the sanctions clampdown, Trump is seeking to push Iran to end uranium enrichment outright, and halt its ballistic missile development and its support for proxy forces in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon and elsewhere in the Middle East. They are a destabilising influence in the region – civilians in the region are suffering from their activities. In Yemen children are starving to death and in other areas they are subjected to sights and experiences no child should ever suffer.

Europe WAKE UP to what these people are doing in your name!

Study it in Hebrew, it means the same thing. We have two sources which confirm each other - the older Hebrew/Chaldean of Leviticus, and the newer Greek of Romans.

You use the word "discriminate" as if it applies to sinful behavior. Be careful with your assumptions, this is called "forcing the issue." The scriptures also say to seperate oneself away from the wicked, so I think the term you are looking for is "segregate," not "discriminate." And yes, it is for the benefit of others. A little leaven leavens teh whole lump. That is, allowing a little sin is like letting a poison into the church. It is for that reason that Paul instructs us to cast out those who refuse to repent.

I did my questioning of the scripture and studied it intently - its history, its language, its origins. There is nothing to question except certain translations, that is why one has to study. It is impossible to accurately translate from Hebrew to English, and very difficult to accurately translate from Greek. The concept of sexual immorality which includes homosexuality is clearly expressed in both the Hebrew and the Greek.

(=What is the hebrew word for Homosexual, and what is its true translation?=)

Yet another attempt to employ rhetorical tricks to get around the Bible's prohibitions against homosexuality???

The relevant verse in Leviticus doesn't use "homsexual" or "pedophilia" in its prohibition against homosexual behavior.

It simply says that a man is not to have relations with another man, as with a woman. Simple as that.

The New Testament gives us nothing to replace or supercede that teaching, as it does with Old Testament teachings on other issues.

In fact, the NT clarifies that prohibition even further by clearly stating that it applies to women sleeping with women as well. See Romans 1.

Lauren Daigle: Critics of 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' Appearance 'Completely Missed the Heart of God'

...The Christian artist appeared on the mainstream show Oct. 24 and received criticism on social media over her involvement. Most of the critics argued Daigle was wrong to appear on the show because Ellen is a lesbian.

“I think the second we start drawing lines around which people are able to be approached and which aren't, we've already completely missed the heart of God,” Daigle told WAY-FM Radio.

“I don't have all the answers in life and I'm definitely not gonna act like I do, but the one thing that I know for sure is I can't choose who I'm supposed to be kind to and who I'm supposed to show love to and who I'm not, because that's the mission right?" she continued. "Be who Christ was to everyone.”

SOURCE: https://www.christianpost.com/news/lauren-daigle-critics-ellen-degeneres-show-appearance-completely-missed-the-heart-of-god-228354/

First of all, Daigle is NO Christian! As I showed you earlier, nowhere in her vague testimony does she even mention the cross upon which Christ died. She doesn't mention the Gospel at all. No one has ever been saved apart from faith alone in the Gospel. That is, the Good News of Jesus Christ crucified to death on the cross, buried, and bodily risen the third day (1st Corinthians 15:1-6).

Second, Miss Daigle uses love as an excuse to show support for homosexuality. It is very wrong for any professed Christian to appear on a lesbian's show. By doing so, Lauren endorses the Ellen DeGeneres Show, which is why Ellen praised her. You see, the homosexual community want to be accepted by the Christian community in their unrepentant state, which is as evil as the sins of abortion or adultery. Homosexuality is a filthy deathstyle, against nature and gross sin! Albeit, I do believe that homosexuals CAN still be saved.

Third, it is utter wickedness and foolishness for Lauren to say that critics of her appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show
“Completely miss the heart of God.” What a sinful thing to say!!! No, Lauren Daigle doesn't know God! The God of the Holy Bible is a holy God, Who does not cater to sinners, does not hobnob with the world. What saith the Scripture? James 4:4, “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” According to the Scriptures, Miss Daigle is an ENEMY OF GOD! We all have our faults. We are all sinners. I do not condemn anybody. God's law in the Holy Bible condemns all humanity, which brings physical death (Romans 5:12), and then eternal damnation in Hell (Revelation 20:15)! Lauren is God's enemy, yet she falsely accuses faithful Christians of missing God's love. Lauren is either woefully or willfully ignorant of the Scriptures!!!

Lauren speaks as a fool, because she is one! She says the believer's “mission” is to love everyone, but the Bible never says that. Although it is true that a Christian who is right with God will love everyone, love does not allow sinful compromise! it is not love what Lauren is doing by promoting her music on a queer television show. In fact, she loves the world, not the Lord Jesus Christ! The Bible commands every believer not to love the world, nor the things in the world (1st John 2:15-17), but to come out from among them and be ye separate (2nd Corinthians 6:14-17). If Lauren wanted to appear on Ellen's ungodly show, she never should have defended her actions, which is why I wrote this article. We all do wrong sometimes, but I'm not going to make excuses for it!

What Lauren did was wrong, period. Ellen DeGeneres is an ungodly heathen who is married to another lesbian, living in open defiance against a holy God. Do you really think that ungodly people who masquerade as Christians, appearing on Ellen's show, is going to win the sodomites to Christ? Not a chance in a million!!! The world is becoming more churchy these days, because the churches are becoming so worldly. That is way Pastor Steven Furtick of the Elevation Church in North Carolina leads his congregation jamming to Joan Jett's infamous song, “I Love Rock N' Roll,” on his electric guitar. That is of the Devil! Worldly people love a worldly pastor and a worldly church, but that is not Bible Christianity!!! John 7:7, “The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.”

A believer who truly walks with God abides continually in the Word of God, which we have in the inspired King James Bible. These modern Bible versions are all of the Devil! And a believer who abides in God's Word and loves the Lord, hates evil. Psalms 97:10, “Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.”

I did not write and publish this article to be unkind, but to shed light on the truth that there is nothing even remotely Christian about Lauren Daigle's testimony as given to the Salvation Army (which I shared with you earlier). And also, to expose the lies of Lauren Daigle on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, denouncing those who rightly criticized her for appearing on Ellen's ungodly show. Miss DeGeneres is an ungodly icon in the ungodly homosexual community, who is relentless doing her best to promote the ungodly abomination of sodomy. I sound like Jude (read the book of Jude and see how many times he mentions the word “ungodly”).

Lauren Daigle is ungodly too! Her opinions as expressed on Ellen's show are totally worldly and unscriptural. Love speaks the truth! Pastor Steven Anderson is considered to be a hatemonger by the ungodly world, for denouncing the homosexual community. Although I know that God loves everyone, including unrepentant homosexuals, I also know that God equally hates all sin! God hates homosexuality! If God hates homos, then He also hates the gossiper, the adulterer, the covetous person, the drunkard and the unjust critic!

There is something wrong in India. Why? If so many citizens are
asking for the Sri Ram Ji Mandir, the rulers of India are quiet. There
is no move in the positive direction. Why is this so? The reason is
simple. The politicians of India – all of them except a few – have com-
mitted treason against Hindu Dharma and Hindus. They all are traitors.
They are the supporters of the perfect perverse secular society of the anti-Hindu Congress Constitution. This Constitution has rejected Hindu Dharma as the supreme Dharma in Hindustan. Herewith, they have made of Hindu Bharat, who had fought fiercely to undo the brutal killers, looters and rapists from Indian soil, as their equals. With this the inferior culture of the losers became part of Hindu society. Losers are demanding their rights they never
had. The politicians bound by their oath, they became creatures without an
ATMA. Hindu politicians without an Hindu Atma. This is the tragic of today’s
Hindustan. In the perfect perverse secular anti-Hindu society is no place
for Sri Ram Ji Mandir – the ATMA – of Bharat. This can’t be accepted by
Hindus. Reject this dictate. Hindus, you are Masters of this country,
based on the Law of the Native. This natural Law is the foundation of
being Bharati’s and Bharati’s are Hindus with a body and ATMA. This is
a message of Sri Hanuman Seva Sena.

The Other 98% posted a tweet from Harvey Bobrow about how Canada has had only 15 mass shootings since 1885 due to tougher gun laws, whereas the U.S. has at least one mass shooting per day.

This is just false.
-In a brief search, I found at least 28 incidents in Canada that would be considered mass shootings. All were since 1965.
-There doesn’t appear to be an outlet that tracks mass shootings in Canada, so there’s likely countless other incidents that would qualify, but haven’t been compiled. Remember, a mass shooting is generally defined as an incident where 4 or more people are hurt or killed by a firearm. Most mass shootings in the US involve zero or 1 death, so often aren’t widely reported or known.
-Thus, it takes a dedicated tracker to compile all the incidents. In the US, there’s gunviolencearchive.com which is where most outlets get their mass shooting statistics from.
-The vast majority of US mass shootings are gang related, and involve drive-by or similar style attacks. This is widely misunderstood, as people think of mass shootings as the much rarer events that garner media focus. Claiming the “one mass shooting a day” statistic capitalizes on this ignorance. Canada has far less gang violence, and consequently would be expected to have far less mass shootings.

In response to a meme about hate crimes being on the rise during Trump's presidency...

This widely shared meme echoes the popular narrative that hate crimes are rapidly on the rise. The reality is that FBI hate crime data hasn’t even been released for 2017 yet! This means we don’t even have data from when Trump was in office. The latest data is from 2016.
Still, we can compare 2015-16 and see how hate crimes changed during the initial “rise of Trump”. In researching this, I found most of the media reporting to be extremely shallow and unhelpful. Few dug very deep into the statistics, so I looked at them myself and found several interesting trends, many that were virtually unreported.
-Total hate crimes indeed rose slightly, and rose against Muslims and Hispanics. This was widely reported, and few outlets went beyond this.
-Of all racial groups, anti-white hate crimes rose the most. Anti-black crimes actually fell. This was rarely reported.
-In looking at who committed hate crimes, white offenders actually decreased slightly. Black offenders increased appreciably and Hispanic offenders increased dramatically. This was completely unreported, at least from what I could find, but an amazing statistic. “During the rise of Trump, white hate crime offenders actually fell” is not a headline we saw.
-Most of the increase was from acts of vandalism. Violent hate crimes didn’t increase with any significance.
Many more findings and details, including sources, are in the link below, so please check it out. With all the shenanigans with pages being deleted on FB I'll be doing more content on the website.

Darwin's sister gave that account as factual. I did my homework. Whether he did or not, I agree that it is not an argument against evolution; however, it does show that a once disgruntled preacher was afraid to face the God he had tried to demonstrate didn't exist. He knew down deep inside that God does exist. That is what this proves. As to proving evolution, all one needs to do is to realize that the basic hypothesis of the man made theory is based on imagination; not fact. The way to form a genuine theory is NOT to start with fiction and try to prove it; rather, it is to start with fact and figure out the best explanation one can. Evolution at its very heart is fiction that scientists struggle and cheat in order to "prove" it is real. But, there is no "monkey / man" or "dog / cat" because evolution simply did not happen. God created it, just as the Biblical account declares.

History, distilled down to its essentials, is simply this. People want to live, secure and free, in a land of their own with others of their own kind. Outsiders come in and attempt to take their resources from them, whether of land or of movable wealth. Imperial overlords, ambitious to control as many resources as possible, develop ideologies that justify this intrusion into the natural order of people living freely and securely in their own land. They impose these ideologies by force on a trans-national basis, beyond the natural ethnic limits of patriotism. Patriots resist these ideologies and their forceful imposition and attempt to regain control of a physical space for their own kind.

Almost all of history can be made to fit within this simple paradigm. The only thing that changes significantly is the nature of the ideology used to justify disruption of the natural ethnic order. And, unfortunately, we have not escaped history. We are still living through it, forced to wrestle with the latest mad justification from the powerful for forcing people to live with others they don’t want to live with and having their noses rubbed in diversity.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “It is not permissible to shed the blood of a Muslim who bears witness that there is no god except Allaah and that I am His Messenger, except in one of three cases: a soul for a soul (i.e., in the case of murder); a married man who commits adultery; and one who leaves his religion and splits form the jamaa’ah (main group of Muslims).” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6878; Muslim, 1676)

See al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 22/180.

Thus it will be clear to you that execution of the apostate is something that is commanded by Allaah, when he commanded us to obey the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), as He says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O you who believe! Obey Allaah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad), and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority”

[al-Nisa’ 4:59]

And the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has commanded us to execute the apostate as in the hadeeth quoted above: “Whoever changes his religion, execute him.”

It may need some time for you to be convinced about this matter, and for you to think about it. Perhaps you think that if a person follows the truth and enters into it and embraces the one true religion which Allaah has enjoined, then we allow him to leave it quite easily whenever he wants and to utter the words of kufr (disbelief) that put him outside of Islam, so he can reject Allaah, His Messenger, His Books and His religion, and there is no punishment as deterrent, how will that affect him and others who enter the religion?

Do you not see that this would make the one true religion, that everyone should follow, like a shop or store which a person can enter when he wants and leave when he wants, and it may encourage others to forsake the truth.

Moreover, this is not someone who has never known the truth and practiced it and worshipped in accordance with it; rather this is a person who has known the truth, and practiced the religion and done the rituals of worship, so the punishment is no greater than he deserves. Moreover, such strong rulings as this are only applied to such a person whose life is no longer considered to be useful, because he knew the truth and followed the religion, then he left it and forsook it. What soul can be more evil than the soul of such a person?

In conclusion, the answer is that Allaah is the One Who revealed this religion and enjoined it. He is the One Who ruled that the one who enters it and then leaves it is to be executed. This ruling does not come from the Muslims’ ideas or suggestions. As this is the case, then we must follow the ruling of Allaah so long as we are content to accept Him as our Lord and God.

May Allaah help us and you to do that which He loves and which pleases Him. We thank you once again.

Peace be upon those who follow true guidance.

Quote# 141250

I was being prepped for surgery. I had called Dr. Rebecca Rosemann and asked if what to do with my wallet, whether I needed an ID, et cetera. She said to bring my wallet and ID and that the hospital would put it securely in a safe during my surgery. What she didn't tell me is that some thug security guard would violate my person and privacy, empting my wallet piece-by-piece, writing every item of content down. I felt like I was being raped. The operating room technicians had already put about 40 wires on my body, preparing the monitoring equipment for surgery. When I was married, my wife wouldn't even go into my wallet, because she felt awkward going into my personal stuff. That is how she felt. She respected my person. That is the way we ought to treat each other.

The ungodly Caucasian security guard at Cedars-Sinai didn't ask for my permission. He just opened my wallet and started removing items, one by one. What a selfish person! As he would remove and look at the dozens of cards and items, he would sometimes look at me, like he was analyzing each item and forming an opinion. I was being prepped for surgery, so my brain wasn't as aware as I normally would have been. I had never been in a situation like that before. I am still hurt and upset about what happened. I love God's promise in Matthew 7:1-2 and verse 12, to judge men according to how they treat others. I pray for God to avenge me of that wicked insensitive security guard. No doubt he would say he was just “doing his job,” like Herod's henchman who murdered thousands of innocent little children (they were just doing their job too!).

At a minimum, the guard should have asked for my permission, and explained to me what he was required to do, not just rape me! I was sitting right there, fully conscious, and he could have shown me a little respect. Instead, in typical thug guard fashion, he just did whatever he wanted with zero respect for me as a human being. That man brought shame upon his mother and father, evidencing that they raised a careless, brute, inconsiderate, brat for a boy. Some of the worse evils in this world are done by irresponsible people who claim to just be “doing their job.” Just because something is your job doesn't make it right to abuse others, humiliate them, nor does it give you the right to be a heartless thug! People have feelings. Monsters are real! I have nothing good to say about Cedars-Sinai Hospital. Please don't get surgery there people of Guam! Cedars-Sinai Hospital is so popular with Hollywood celebrities that the hospital owners couldn't care less about the little guy, the common man, the average Joe, nobodies like me!

Matthew 25:40, “And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

That ungodly security guard emotionally raped me in the hospital that day. I was very distressed. My heart was crushed. While in surgery, the emotional trauma from what the guard did affected me. After the surgery, the operating room nurse said that my heart was racing at top speed, and they had to slow it down. I am fully convinced to this day that it was the emotional trauma inflicted by that insensitive, thug, bastard security guard at Cedars-Sinai Hospital that caused my heart to race 100 miles an hour during surgery. I HAD BEEN RAPED! That is exactly how I felt. I pray for God to avenge me, and I want to see that guard held accountable before God on Judgment Day. I pray dear Lord Jesus Christ, please, that it would be so!

The 66.6° is a hypothesis to make the globe to work for seasons. The angle is as fake as their beast.

* Creator created Humans
* Humams became Apes
* Apes created Beasts
* Beast is a Coward
* Ignore the Coward

The life of the beast depends on, how much speak about it.

We are living in America today in a self-destructive society! The daily news has become insanely terrifying. People, especially youth, are out of control. Flakka and other forms of drugs are everywhere, driving people out of their minds! Here's a story in Florida about three teenagers raping a mother. Here's a story from Florida about a man who cut his own 5-year-old sister's head off in front of police. I could show you thousands of such horrifying stories. This is just as horrifying as the evil incidents we read about in the Old Testament book of Judges.

To complicate matters, the U.S. government has allowed tens of millions of illegal immigrants to flood into the country from gang-infested Mexico and other problematic places, bringing their criminal culture with them! Look at what these six Hispanic teenage punks (and one black) did to these two innocent white teen girls (WARNING: These are graphic details and made my cry this morning, what happened to these two girls in Texas in 1993). Hell WILL BE hot enough, if they died in their sins without Christ! Folks, this is what teenagers without Jesus Christ are capable of committing! My father used to say that “anyone can become a monster without Jesus Christ!” He was 100% right! America today is just like the book of Judges in the Old Testament, when there was injustice everywhere, because there was no king in the land. Today, we have leaders, but they are failing to execute justice. Those monsters weren't executed for 17 years, because of their “rights”! Ecclesiastes 8:11, “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” Oh how we need to get back to honoring and obeying the Word of God in America!!!
