men have a lot more to gain by claiming ace identities than women do, especially white men.

in fact they have everything to gain.

with an ace identity they have the capacity to claim that they are incapable of being complicit in the sexual violence perpetuated by men onto women. they can also use an ace identifier to argue that they are less voyeuristic, less fetishistic, and less prone to objectifying women than other men are.

this is huge scapegoating potential for men - for white men in particular - who are, as it stands, not the victims of discourse that posits them as hypersexual or animalistic. not only can men use this identifier to excuse them if their own misogyny, but they can also utilize an ace identity to their own racial advantage, further positing men of color as hypersexual and out of control. they can essentially use aceness as another way of blaming men of color for sexual violence against women (side note: white women who use the ace label are also absolutely capable of framing themselves as innocent victims of misogyny in juxtaposition to the “nasty” women of color who obviously “deserve” whatever violence they receive)

on the other hand, women generally don’t really gain anything when using an ace identifier (besides the above side note). in fact, it seems pretty clear that a woman who uses an ace identifier may be engaging in yet another act that increases the likelihood of her experiencing sexual harassment, assault, and even rape.

that’s what it means to say that “acephobia” is better understood as a facet of misogyny or racism rather than a standalone category of oppression.

the fact that white men stand to actively gain something by identifying under the ace spectrum is really telling of the gendering and racializing at play.

I told my cousin who was at the age where she was into harry potter you know if Harry had just forgiven whats his name and let go he wouldnt have had to go through all that trouble.
If someone killed your parents you dont go out and destroy them you just trust the Lord to avenge for you...

She then said oh yea lol. Then there would be no story. But I think the whole point of it was to get people interested in witchcraft and trained up into it, well at least making it attractive. Thankfully my cousin wasnt obssessed or hooked into it, but I would see children that were and got into darker things (i worked in a public library, i knew all the occult books they had)

Not only do they hide behind their women and children, but they murder them at the same time. Moreover, the reason they’re considered “terrorists” because they don’t fight with conventional war methods. They secrete themselves amongst the population, attack, maximizing casualties, and then retreat back into the population, (if they didn’t blow themselves up already), and they don’t even wear a uniform.

If you want to win a conflict, there are going to be civilian casualties, it’s just a part of warfare….. Jesus, that’s how we beat the Japanese. We decimated two cities and the civilian population.
In my opinion, bust out the heavy bombers, 30 days and 30 nights of relentless bombing raids, and show those god damn terrorists, and the rest of them, you fuck with us, we will destroy you.

I don’t disagree with the principle but the price. Do it sangin style, blow up houses near IEDs. Go further back, Nam status Find a cache on someone’s property? Take it and burn the land. Push them down and away, make it personal and take the gloves off. We don’t need to kill a city, just remind them we can. How we went into Iraq and Afghanistan for a coin mission without looking at the few things done right in Vietnam is beyond me.

When we were attacked on 9/11, it always mystified me why we didn’t attack Saudi Arabia. Osama Bin Laden was Saudi. We should have bombed the Capitol city, Riyadh, for 10 days, 10 nights. No matter if it were, Civilians, military, or terrorists. Level the city.

Woman are friends with woman, and they have sex with men. So if you’re her friend, you’re a vagina. You ask this girl to be your gf, she rejects you but ask if we can still be friends. That’s a insult, she thinks less of you. A male and female aren’t suppose to be friends, they’re suppose to be love intrest. So basically you’re a vagina, because girls are suppose to be friends with girls, and fuck men. Also girls are horrible friends, all they do is leech off you, and cause drama.
So when a girl rejects you, and puts you in the friendzone, it’s a insult. Next time she says let’s just be friends, say no thank you.

How do we de-Islamize America? While it's not easy (because of politically correct hysteria) it's simple. It must include three steps.

1. Immediately suspend Islamic immigration

[...]

Can this be done constitutionally? Of course it can. The Constitution gives to Congress unilateral authority over “the Migration or Importation of such Persons” it thinks are “proper to admit” (Article 1, Sec. 9). If Congress wishes to suspend Islamic immigration, it can do so tomorrow.

2. No more mosques

Mosques are the incubators of jihadist ideology. The Center for Security Policy determined some time ago that 95% of all American Muslims who attend mosque on a weekly basis attend a mosque which either distributes literature or features imams who advocate the use of violence in spreading Islam.

Can stopping the building of mosques be done constitutionally? Of course it can, if we use the Constitution given to us by the Founders and not the one mangled by the courts. Under the Founders’ Constitution, the States have unilateral authority to regulate religious expression within their borders.

Joseph Story, in his Commentaries on the Constitution, put it this way: “Thus, the whole power over the subject of religion is left exclusively to the state governments, to be acted upon according to their own sense of justice, and the state constitutions.” If states want to ban the building of any more mosques, they certainly can.

And the First Amendment protects the right “of the people peaceably to assemble.” If any mosque assembles for anything other than peaceful purposes, it has no First Amendment right to meet at all.

3. No more Muslims in the military

Serving the United States military is a privilege, not a right. Congress has complete authority “to make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces” (Article 1, Section 8). If Congress believes it’s a mistake to allow individuals who have a sacred duty to kill American infidels to serve in our military, they certainly can prevent it. The massacre at Ft. Hood is all the evidence we need that such a restriction is timely and necessary.

Islam, as Brussels, Paris, and 9/11 demonstrate, is the Ebola virus of culture. Everywhere it has been allowed to take root since 630 AD it has brought with it violence and oppression.

Preventing carriers of this cultural virus from entering America is simply common sense, as well as the essence of compassion for American citizens who should not have to live in a society that must live in constant fear of Islamic violence.

The problem, or course, is that we cannot identify carriers of this virus until it’s too late. This simply means we must be careful with them all.

[On the 2016 Brussels bombings:]

At least 28 are dead in Tuesday morning's jihad attacks in Brussels. Enough.

It's time for votes of no-confidence. Parliamentary systems generally allow for votes of no-confidence that trigger new elections. It's time for the governments of Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and more to fall. [...] The existing governments are responsible for policies that have turned Europe into a war zone, and that war is just beginning. The political and media elites have failed Europe and the free world, and put Europe on a course toward civil war and bloodshed unseen on the continent since the days of Hitler.

A new Hitler is in Europe. It is not Donald Trump. It is not the "right-wing." The new Hitler is very much like the old Hitler: he hates Jews. He has contempt for the historical patrimony of Western civilization. He means to rule by an iron fist and subordinate every other power to his will. He respects only strength, and despises weakness. The new Hitler is not just one man, but millions - millions who believe in an ideology that teaches warfare against and subjugation of free people under its heel.

Historically, Europe saw the threat that the men who held to this ideology posed, and shed blood to resist their advance. Now, the sons and heirs of those who gave their lives to make sure their children and their children's children would live free have flung open the gates and invited in those who would enslave them. They have invited them into their countries in massive numbers, and vilified and ostracized anyone who dared note the lessons of history and the content of the invaders' ideology.

This morning, as a result of these policies, Brussels is engulfed in chaos and the grief of blood shed in war. There will be much, much more to come of this.

It is time to sweep them out. All of them: the multiculturalists, the cultural relativists, the internationalists, the levellers, the elites who have brought this death and destruction upon Brussels today, and Paris yesterday, and the rest of Europe tomorrow. Europe, if it is to survive as a home of free people, must turn out its entire political and media establishment. This can be done peacefully, and ust be done quickly. If Europe is to survive as a home of free people, it needs governments who recognize that the "refugees" storming into their countries now include an untold number of jihad murderers who mean to kill their people and destroy their societies, and who have the courage to stand up and stop that refugee flow, and turn it back.

[...]

This is a war. It is a war for survival. It is a war that will determine whether Europe (and North America is not far behind) will live in freedom or slavery. The present European political and media elites are inviting the slavery of their people. They must be soundly repudiated. Too much is at stake to continue to countenance their self-delusion and fantasy. Those who are struggling to survive cannot afford to be unrealistic about what they're facing. In the United States also, we need leaders who will speak honestly about the nature and magnitude of the war we're in. Surely there are some people in Europe who are both able to lead and willing to tell the truth. It is time for them to be peacefully installed in power - before it's too late, as it very soon will be.

A Satanic Rampage

The Bible clearly teaches that a satanic kingdom will rule over the entire earth in the future (Dan. 7:23; Rev. 13:7-8). It will be after the Rapture. It will be ruthless and multitudes will perish.

It is common knowledge that a document titled, "Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" was unanimously approved by the UN on Sept. 25, 2015. [...] Simply put, this already approved document calls for a world economic system, a world government and a world religion to be established by 2030. Its preamble says, "All countries and stakeholders, acting in a collaborative partnership, WILL (not may) but -WILL, implement this plan."

[...]

These goals include wealth redistribution, population control and reduction; government control of all population, a reduction in the consumption of goods, the use of fewer and smaller vehicles; the use of less heating and cooling at home and at work; the construction and location of smaller houses and apartments; land confiscation; land use restrictions; and more.

The "Master Plan" goals will lead to the loss of freedoms, new building codes and new zoning laws to control the size and location of buildings and communities; artificial shortages to control consumption, new taxes to redistribute wealth, new monitoring systems to reduce the use of energy, new surveillance systems to monitor compliance, and sinister threats of penalties and incarceration to force compliance.

[...]

Obviously, God is on control and He is not bound by UN goals or the under- lying influence of Satan. God can speed the UN agenda up, slow the UN agenda down, or change the UN agenda in any way He wants. But if He lets the UN have its way, the world is on the brink of a satanic rampage.

Every government will soon become more aggressive and assertive. Every government is soon going to force a different (evil) lifestyle on the world.

[...]

This is what to expect in the near future: No more printing of money, a cashless society, negative interest rates, a depression and debit cards to facilitate the tracking of all buying and selling. [...] After the world gets control of the money, it will be easy to get control of the people.

[On a report issued by the American College of Pediatricians, a conservative organization founded in protest against the American Association of Pediatrics' support for adoption by same-sex couples:]

[N]otwithstanding the politically driven "LGBT" agenda that pretends otherwise, those who suffer with "gender dysphoria" disorder will stay, as born, either male or female, whether or not they play dress up, sterilize themselves and destroy healthy reproductive organs.

Hence, it's of little surprise that, tragically, of those who put themselves through this imaginary "transition," 41 percent will subsequently attempt suicide.

Still, this "progressive" socio-political scheme moves quickly from merely pitiable and delusional to ghastly and abusive when children are the targets - when selfish adults exploit sexually confused young people by feeding their "gender" delusion and pumping them full of dangerous hormones, or otherwise surgically mutilating and sterilizing them for life via so-called "gender reassignment surgery."

In order to address the growing momentum of this harmful, gender-bending, pseudo-scientific quackery, a number of America's leading medical experts on the subject have finally weighed in. "The American College of Pediatrics (ACPeds) urges educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Facts - not ideology, determine reality," they warn.

[...]

Let's take it a step further. The "gender" phenomenon is, in the larger sense, an artificial and anti-theist-tainted social construct. It's an overt act of fist-shaking rebellion against the laws of nature and nature's God. [...] [T]he ACPeds report goes on to identify this so-called "gender ideology" for exactly what it is: "Child abuse."

[...]

There you have it. "Gender ideology" is child abuse - empirically and irrefutably. Isn't it high time, at least where minors are concerned and as a matter of public policy, that we begin treating it as such?

If such abuse were associated with anything other than the "LGBQT" political special interests, we already would have."

God hardened Pharaoh's heart. Is that right?

Romans 9:17-18

(Romans 9:17-18) - "For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I raised you up, to demonstrate My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed throughout the whole earth." 18So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires."

Romans 9:9-23 is some of the most controversial scripture in the Bible. When reading through it, one quickly finds the sovereignty of God in distinction to the free will of man. What is going on?

Basically, God has the right to do with His creation as He wills. We see from the Word that God is in control, "For truly in this city there were gathered together against Thy holy servant Jesus, whom Thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, 28 to do whatever Thy hand and Thy purpose predestined to occur," (Acts 4:27-28). In other words, God is in control. God can also move peoples' hearts (Prov. 21:1) and directs history to where He wants it to go.

God raised up Pharaoh for a purpose: to demonstrate His power. How was this done? It was done by working miracles through Moses and delivering the Israelites. Does God have the right and ability to harden whom He desires in the process of accomplish His will? Absolutely for that is what it says in 9:18. Does this make God wrong in anyway? Not at all. God can do no wrong. Pharaoh was a sinner who deserved the righteous judgment of God. Some say that God simply strengthened Pharaoh's heart towards its natural tendency. Others maintain that God actively hardened his the heart. Whichever the case, Pharaoh rejected the true and living God and God used him for His own purpose.

Unfortunately, Rhi, the Bible does say that people who practise homosexuality are not in God's kingdom. This is stated in 1 Cor 6:9 and 1 Tim 1:10. So that answers Sassy's point, and means that Christians need to abstain from this as they would abstain from adultery - if they want to be living for God. The passage in acts where the apostles decided which aspects of the Mosaic law needed to be kept by Gentile believers, is to do with those things that God prohibited in Leviticus 17 and 18 which applied to Israelites and non Israelites living with them. The connection should be clear.
But in answer to your second point: yes, people desire sex and that desire is essential to continuing the human race. But there are obvious limits beyomd which the sexual instinct needs to be restrained, and one of those is with homosexual urges. There is a reflex in men which deals with excess build up of sperm. Therefore there is no biological requirement for a man to have sex with another person. I don't know if the equivalent happens with women, and the OT mentions nocturnal emissions as being normal and not sinful. I think the area I need to think through more is how homosexual relationships cause harm. I was friends with a gay bloke and a lesbian at one time, and I was aware that I was personally affected by their homosexuality, because I fancied the lesbian and the bloke fancied me... A right muddle!

[ would you torture the family fember of a terrorist? ]

Without question. I don't consider these nutjobbers human.

[ You couldn't think of them as human and torture them. Could you?

The ability to torture someone, like the ability to own someone, requires that you think of your victim as less than human.

But to do that requires that you lose some of your own humanity. ]

If "losing some of my humanity" means choosing to use a propane torch and a pair of pliers on some terrorist's genitals rather than let my wife, stepson, mother, sister or father suffer some horrific fate, I am willing to chance it. IMO, that wouldn't kill your humanity more than letting a loved one die in such a way when you had the power to stop it.

As for being squeamish... Let's just put it this way. I hunt, have killed and been elbow-deep in the chest cavities countless animals that were far less deserving of death than some inhuman terrorist grint. To date, I have yet to lose any sleep over it. In all honesty, I always ensure I make a clean, efficient kill shot on a game animal in order to minimize its suffering. If I can't make an ethical kill, I let the animal walk. However, I would fire upon terrorists without regard to where I hit them, as long as I knew they would eventually die from the injuries I inflicted. As such, if I haven't lost any of my humanity yet, I doubt very much I would lose any from torturing a terrorist. YMMV.

That being said, I'm not going to ridicule you if you are squeamish when it comes to killing. I just gave you the reasons why most people buy their meat from their supermarket rather than shooting it themselves. It comes down to willpower, fortitude and not being afraid of a little wetwork.

Nice cultural relativism there. As it turns out Americans =/= Iraqis, Syrians, Afghans/Pashtuns, or American infants.

A mother choosing to end an inconvenient child =/= killing savages that refuse to enter the 18th century and choose to export violence around the globe.

I enlisted to serve America and America’s interests and to protect Americans and our way of life - and if securing and defending that way of life costs every drop of middle eastern blood. So. Fucking. Be. It.

That isn’t what I want, not even close. But I will not allow America to be destroyed in the name of fucking tolerance and whatever other liberal bullshit policies you think will appease them into loving us. If it comes down to total war, that will be their choice, not ours.

Catholics are not Christians. Catholicism was born from paganism and continues to exist in paganism...right down to their god on earth...their pompous pope. Therefore, catholics are pagans...idol-worshipers.

I speak absolute truth.

I know all about the history of the catholic church. Perhaps you should read about its history from non-biased facts, instead of catholic publications.

The pompous pope is more than "just the human leader of the church". He's called "Vicarius Filii Dei" to this day. He and his priests believe and teach their followers that they have the power, right here on earth, to forgive sins and the power to alter and/or remove God's laws. They're teaching lies. Only God Almighty through Christ can forgive sins and only he can change his laws.

Re: Bigger than Flat Earth.Must Watch! Marijuana is The Christ.

Try some delicious Christ! "Just as the life force of an animal is contained in it's blood, so are the life force of plants contained in their beverages, concentrates and essential oils. When the spirits of these plants are personified by a patron Deity, the beverage or essential oil then becomes the "blood" or "milk" of that God or Godess which embodies all the life giving and other supernatural and magical virtues of these most sacred substances." Marijuana oil is the Blood of Christ. Jesus is the personification of this great plant of renown. The story of Jesus is parable for how to grow, cultivate and make the Blood of Christ. Quotes from the Gospel of Thomas to spice things up a bit. Is this not the secret of all secrets? Plants have spirits, plants were here first before humans, Jesus said, "If the flesh came into being because of spirit, that is a marvel, but if spirit came into being because of the body, that is a marvel of marvels.
"It will not come by watching for it. It will not be said, 'Look, here!' or 'Look, there!' Rather, the Father's kingdom is spread out upon the earth, and people don't see it." The Kingdom of Heaven is the plant kingdom

Full Nazi

The main reason Bronydom is seen as a ‘gender poison’ to men is because of the surface neoteny, but scratch the pastel exterior and you’ll find a show who’s main themes are social maturity, importance of tradition, family and bravery in keeping civilisation together. Because it is a girl-power show, though, most antagonists are defeated through cooperation and shows of solidarity. In real life, if the women of the Troy rode out to meet those trying to bring down the city walls, they’d be put to the sword. Hence Celestia keeps male royal guards around.. but anyway.

It’s important to remember that most of the foes in MLP are simply Other Ponies, who for whatever reason are prepared to destroy or damage the trust that hold society together for their own ends. This varies between low-level shysterism like Trixie to industrialists like Flim and Flam. Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks as well had villains that succeeded mainly through social manipulation and destroying the mutual trust by setting different social types against each other. The central message of the show is that Friendship and trust forged through experience and mutual understanding are paramount in having a livable, sane society. At a very basic level, the ability to trust to a high level those around you is integral to pony (white) society. Trademark show baddies exploit this trust and destroy society n the bargain. Merchant-capitalists Flim & Flam sold gimmicky, useless ‘tonics’, and Trixie paraded as a potential saviour, only to fail miserably when a real threat popped her ego balloon. When these hacks are exposed and you shine the light of truth on them, they scatter like roaches. Trixie & Co are summarily expelled from Ponyville.

In Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks, the villains actually succeed. Aside from a far-right conspiracy of Friendship Peddlers, the Dazzlings – An evil trio of malicious spirits – manage to hypnotize the whole of Canterlot High, setting every caste, class and faction within the school against each other using a Battle of the Bands. The crowd broils over into seething resentment, and the Dazzlings take the central spotlight and highest social status by Wow-ing everyone with displays of being the most aloof, the most self-absorbed, the most narcissistic and self important. After all, when all of society is atomised into competing factions, the most logical role model is to be the most sociopathic. Hence the section of Western/White Society that relies most on the aristocracy for its morality – The labouring working classes – Idolise the false gods of the Kardashians, and other vapid, pointless mouthbreathers, who hypnotize the many by being just so Cool, so above those stupid no-good rednecks, like a weeping Caitlyn Jenner receiving an award for battling transphobia-induced PTSD or Obama grieving for one of his many Sons. It’s worth noting that these entertainers pass for ponies, but they’re not really. They’re just devils and monsters passing themselves off as white – Sorry, Canterlot High students – when it suits them.

When there is no common goal and social trust is eroded to the most basic level, the ideological class can take control by peddling false and misleading narratives. Society continues a slow decline into total disintegration, and the hawkers are always there, selling false causes, feel-good balm and a conveniently weak and marginalised enemy to blame – Obviously, those sick and depraved right-wingers and their racism, and 'microaggressions’ round every corner that drive innocent black journalists to shoot down their coworkers.

A consensus on an obviously false ideology – 'We’re all equal!!’ paralyses society as individuals suppress anything that makes them conspicuously different. In 'The Cutie Map’ episodes, Starlight Glimmer takes on this ideological caste. Because ponies are suppressing the natural ways they adapt and help each other by playing to their strengths, in order to appear 'equal’; society begins to predictably spiral into total poverty. Remember kids: Choose equality as your special talent. More builders are men instead of women? Sexist. Not enough dindus in college? Racist. And so on.

Difference and equality are mutually exclusive, as equality means 'the same as.’ Starlight has the answer: If there are problems, the cause is inequality. The solution? More equality. We need more Eritean and Somalian refugees, just to prove how much equality we can have, and we’ll throw those friendship-peddlers in jail for a good measure as well!! We don’t have any cutie-marks of our own, there’s nothing special about us, so who cares if we’re displaced? Of course, bronies went off into a tizzy with this one. They mean Equality, but not our Equality right?! That’s not fair! Gay Marriage! And Stuff!!

Starlight Glimmer achieves her total control of Europe through the Televitz, sorry, Staff of Sameness; through which ponies have their memories of what makes them different to the other peoples of earth stripped from them, leaving them scrabbling miserably by, unable to cooperate, harmonise or build a functioning community with the similarly mezmerised ponies around them. The episode is resolved and modernity is destroyed when Starlight is shown to be just another shyster – somepony who hoodwinked and betrayed her folk in exchange for power. There are many whites like this. No doubt if Starlight was here today, she’d work at the BBC.

MOST IMPORTANTLY! This is all part of an agenda! The undoing of Judaism in the Jewish Land. Those who are perpetrating this pure evil are most likely not even Jews themselves. The Reform movement has been a thorn in the side of the Jewish people for the last couple of centuries. Their goal is to water down every aspect of Torah until they (think, of course) finish the job. They can conspire all they want, but it will not help them; this is their war against G-D Almighty! They should think first at what they are doing and cease before the unleashing of H's Wrath. Those who are Jewish amongst these fools should do teshuvah for their own sakes. No one can win a war against our Creator. Most of the Jews in Israel are against them, and they are a minority who are forcing their will upon the people of Israel. The rabbis must keep up their fight against these radicals!

Here’s a critical point to grasp: if your trust was fully anchored in your Creators the way it’s supposed to be, then it wouldn’t matter that the Bible isn’t perfect. The degree to which you feel stressed over all of the errors we’re pointing out to you is the degree to which you’re still depending on the book to guide you in life. You can’t depend on a book. You need to be depending entirely on Yahweh, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. If you’re going to get far with Them, then every obstacle that is standing between you and total dependency on Them must be torn down. That’s why They have intentionally preserved a collection of records that are so full of wrong theology and bad examples. Our Gods knew we humans would try to turn the book into an idol that we could replace Them with, so They made sure to riddle the book with idiotic thinking and such glaring errors that we’d be forced to stop worshiping it if we ever started down the road of honest seeking, and we can’t get anywhere with our Gods until we are honest.

Secularist Intolerance Against Scientific Paper That Briefly Mentions Creator

Intolerance against Christians’ freedom to express their Christian worldview is increasing from a minority of secularists who are in positions of authority regarding education, research, and so on.

What happens when you briefly reference the Creator (without even specifically explaining who this Creator is) in a scientific paper for a secular publication? Well, watch out, for intolerant secularists will become incensed and get it censored.

Four scientists, three from China and one from Massachusetts, recently published an article entitled “Biomechanical Characteristics of Hand Coordination in Grasping Activities of Daily Living” in the journal PLOS ONE. In their article they mentioned that “our study can improve the understanding of the human hand and confirm that the mechanical architecture is the proper design by the Creator for dexterous performance of numerous functions following the evolutionary remodeling of the ancestral hand for millions of years” (emphasis mine). Near the end of the paper, the researchers added, “Hand coordination should indicate the mystery of the Creator’s invention.” Now it’s even possible that the authors meant that nature (or evolution) was the Creator! Some people use such wording about nature/evolution.

When it became known that the word Creator was used, the outrage on the Internet and social media was swift and fierce. People bemoaned the “unacceptable,” “harmful disgrace,” “absolute joke,” and “sloppy job” of the editors and their journal for allowing this word to go through. Some secularists threatened to boycott the open-access journal, and some editors declared that they would resign if the article wasn’t retracted. The intolerance shown by the secularists over the use of the word Creator in the article was astonishing. The very idea that there could be an intelligence behind life was so unacceptable and was expressed with such anger that it only exposed how passionate they are in defending their secularist religion of humanism and naturalism.

The lead author of the paper, after he was contacted about the firestorm it was creating, reportedly said, “We are not native speakers of English, and entirely lost the connotations of some words such as ‘Creator.’ I am so sorry for that.” After discussion and thought, the journal decided to retract the article. We are not told what the authors were intending to communicate by their word choice of “Creator.”

It’s ironic that creationists are frequently accused of not being “real” scientists because they ”don’t publish in peer-reviewed journals” (of course by this common accusation they mean secular peer-reviewed journals), but this recent episode is a perfect example of why this often doesn’t happen! In their paper, these scientists made very brief mentions of a “Creator’s” design—in the same sentence mentioning evolution and millions of years—yet there was a very vocal demand that if this paper were not retracted, a boycott might be called. So it doesn’t matter how sound and well-researched your observational science is or how technical the paper might be, if it even dares to mention a word like Creator, it will be censored. There is such a massive intolerance in the scientific community today against anything that could possibly hint at life not arising by natural processes!

This is one reason that we need our Answers Research Journal, one of several technical, peer-reviewed journals where creationists can submit their articles to be possibly published. Many creationists are not allowed to publish in secular journals, regardless of the quality or soundness of their research and the author’s credentials, simply because what they write isn’t based on the religion of naturalism! It would immediately be declared “wrong”—regardless of the quality of the research—simply because it may be influenced by the Christian worldview instead of evolutionary naturalism.

Now this isn’t to say that creationists never publish in secular, peer-reviewed journals. Many of the scientists here at Answers in Genesis, such as Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson, Dr. Andrew Snelling, and Dr. Georgia Purdom, have all been published in secular journals because they do solid observational science. But in their articles they aren’t permitted to mention the Creator or that their starting point is God’s Word because their work would automatically be thrown out—regardless of the high quality observational science they present.

THE INTENSE PREJUDICE AND INTOLERANCE CONTINUALLY ON DISPLAY BY SECULARISTS IS ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE.
The intense prejudice and intolerance continually on display by secularists is almost unbelievable. And sadly it’s only increasing. They become up in arms about anything that mentions a creator and will immediately throw it out. And we see this attitude in our personal lives and the culture as a whole. Anyone who dares to think biblically about origins, the nature of marriage, or the sanctity of life is often treated with intolerance, anger, and prejudice, and faces ad hominin attacks—just for starting with God’s Word! And sadly, as our culture moves farther and farther from a biblical worldview, we can only expect this intolerance to continue.

We also saw a similar intolerance regarding the debate I had with Bill Nye “The Science Guy” in 2014. Many secularists openly admitted that they were against the debate because they didn’t want creationists to be able to present our teachings to the public. It’s the same reason atheist groups constantly attack the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter: they can’t tolerate Christians having such a public presence to present their message in a world where so many people have been brainwashed by the religion of naturalism. Secularists don’t want their monopoly on education and research being broken, and thus they resort to censorship.

Really, this outrage directed against PLOS ONE for printing this paper shows how utterly intolerant secularists are to anything even remotely Christian. They don’t want people to even hear any possibility of something that might support creation. They immediately have to be censors. Now, something is wrong with your worldview if you have to censor other views and not even let people hear the alternatives! Whatever happened to freedom of speech and freedom of religion? Secularists ultimately don’t want freedom of religion; they want freedom from Christianity.

As I wrote earlier, evolution is a religion. It’s a religion of naturalism and atheism (both of which are totally unprovable from an observational scientific standpoint, yet are held to ardently within much of academia by blind faith). According to secular, evolutionary thinking, if anything even hints at a creator, it must be thrown out because obviously there’s something wrong with it. This attitude boils down to what their starting point is—they start with the assumption that there is no creator and that everything happened by naturalistic processes, so it doesn’t matter what the quality of the research is; if it in any way supports a Creator God (and it doesn’t even seem to matter which creator; it doesn’t even have to be the God of the Bible), they throw it out. It’s not surprising then that public school science textbooks often define science as only having to do with natural processes—no supernatural is allowed. In other words, the religion of naturalism (which is in essence atheism) is being imposed on generations of students in government-run schools.

If secularists were to be honest, they would fully acknowledge that from their perspective, when they die, that’s it—they’re dead. Then why do they even fight so vehemently against God? Why do they care if someone mentions a creator in a research paper? What is it that irks them so much about this? Well, the bottom line is that they know that if there is a God who created them, and if He is the God of the Bible, then He owns them, He sets the rules, and they are accountable to Him. It means, for example, that marriage is one man for one woman, that abortion is murder, and so on.

Because the human heart does not want to submit to Christ, secularists actively suppress the truth in unrighteousness (Romans 1:18). Romans 1 makes it clear that God is clearly seen through what He has made (Romans 1:20). But instead of submitting to Him, people reject that truth and do everything they can to ignore His witness in nature and through His Word. Ultimately, it comes down to a heart issue!

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. (Romans 1:18–23)

Evil Bible Allegation: God now commands that all women must have health hazardous labors for Eve ate the fruit. In no way shape or form is it just that I must pay for the sins of my ancestors. Genesis 3:16


The Refiner's Fire Response:

Who said life was fair? If you tell your kid not to play with matches because a resulting fire will burn and scar you for life, and your kid willfully disobeys and ends up setting the house on fire - what happens? He not only incurs your wrath because you now have no house and you're out on the street, not to mention, you have a horribly disfigured kid who will cost you an arm and a leg in medical bills. Is it fair that your kid made you suffer? Is it fair that a pedophile father makes his son or daughter to suffer at his hands? If is fair that man has caused the extinction of many beautiful animals, just because he wanted to have their head hanging on his den wall? Was it fair of Hitler to exterminate six million Jews just because he felt they were a threat?

God is the Creator. He is in charge; man is not! When our parents command us to do something, we are to do it, no questions asked. If they say, "don't do drugs," then DON'T do drugs because it's for your own good!

God gave ONE SINGLE command in the Garden of Eden: Genesis 2: 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die. And man couldn't even keep that one commandment - let alone the 613 He gave to the Jews, and later on the Ten Commandments, which most people today feel don't even pertain to them!

Adam and Eve disobeyed about something really major - something that affected ALL their future offspring - and they deserved punishment for it, don't you think? They had been living a perfect, stress-less life, and the only thing God demanded was that they not to eat from a particular tree because it would open their eyes to things that would open the proverbial "can of worms" that has become our world today: decadent behavior (divorce rate is through the roof, there's rampant homosexuality, senseless murders via drive-by shootings, etc., and there were even kooks raping, pillaging, and plundering immediately after Hurricane Katrina hit! Since the beginning, there has been endless strife in this world, along with lots of pain and suffering, famine, death, and wars caused by the hand of man who thinks he knows everything.....)

Not only did Adam and Eve disobey God's one simple command, but in the process, they gave birth to the first "blame game" because they now KNEW "good and evil"):

Genesis 3:

1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"

2 The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' "

4 "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. 5 "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?"

10 He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid."

11 And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"

12 The man said, "The woman you put here with me - she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it."

13 Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?"

The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."

14 So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."

16 To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." 17 To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,' cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. 18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. 19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."

(If the above sounds silly to you, it's because you can't understand the things of God with your limited, human mindset. Unless we have the Holy Spirit residing in our souls, we CANNOT understand God. Web masters such as the one at Evil Bible are living proof of that! The thing is, it's all REAL, and the proof is in the fact that HUNDREDS of Bible prophecies have come true over the last few thousand years and are unfolding before our very eyes!)

God had every right to be angry and to punish the Adam and Eve for their disobedience. After all, they had just ruined the future of mankind! In His fury, rather than to put Adam and Eve to death, however, He gave them animal skins with which to cover their nakedness (because, along with everything else, they had now been made aware of "shame"). This was a picture of the first "blood covering". (God has always required blood sacrifices to atone for sin. This is because, as He tells us in Leviticus 17:11 - For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one's life. and Deuteronomy 12:23 - But be sure you do not eat the blood, because the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat. Blood is the symbol of life. It nourishes our own bodies and that of our unborn children. Without it, we die and turn to dust.)

Genesis 3:

21 The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. 22 And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." 23 So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

People seem to overlook the fact that the "serpent" himself, was thrown out of heaven for trying to be "like God". NOBODY is God but GOD Himself! Adam and Eve, rather than to heed their CREATOR, decided to heed the serpent, instead, thus condemning all following generations to have to deal with "the knowledge of good and evil".

[Justin Keller, a tech entrepreneur in San Francisco, wrote an open letter complaining about homeless, poor, and drug-addicted people in San Francisco.]

The residents of this amazing city no longer feel safe. I know people are frustrated about gentrification happening in the city, but the reality is, we live in a free market society. The wealthy working people have earned their right to live in the city. They went out, got an education, work hard, and earned it. I shouldn’t have to worry about being accosted. I shouldn’t have to see the pain, struggle, and despair of homeless people to and from my way to work every day. I want my parents when they come visit to have a great experience, and enjoy this special place.

I am telling you, there is going to be a revolution. People on both sides are frustrated, and you can sense the anger. The city needs to tackle this problem head on, it can no longer ignore it and let people do whatever they want in the city. I don’t have a magic solution… It is a very difficult and complex situation, but somehow during Super Bowl, almost all of the homeless and riff raff seem to up and vanish. I’m willing to bet that was not a coincidence. Money and political pressure can make change. So it is time to start making progress, or we as citizens will make a change in leadership and elect new officials who can.

Just a message to every pro choice men or women out there. You can never ever justify the killing of a developing human being. Every human deserves the chance to live and it is a monstrosity to see such hatred towards the fetus’. Through all the situations the mother may have encountered to get pregnant whether it be rape, on accident, etc. You have no right to cold bloodily murder a child just needs 9 months of your time just until you, the mother, can make the choice of either giving the human being up for adoption or keeping the baby.

Think of everything you accomplished in life. See how amazing it is. Those same things could never happen because of these murders of babies. Although, if you ever had an abortion it is okay. You have been forgiven.

To all the people who justify or allow this horrible thing to happen, I have for you 2 words.

You suck

The Effete Elite Vs The Trumpening

The Effete Elite are aghast that Trump used (by proxy) the word “pussy” to insult TheCruzRuse. Meanwhile, Trump just won over every Reagan Democrat.

This is something the hermetically sealed, culturally isolated, demographically gated bubble boys of the beltways don’t get about Trump. These effete fags who don’t even lift clutch their pearls when Trump channels the spirit of his blood and soil White Warriors and speaks in the MASCULINE language of the Tribe Realtalk. Anything remotely masculine frightens shitlibs, you see, because masculinity, unlike femininity, is more closely associated with truth-telling. And masculine men remind your typical shitlib of his years spent in middle school with his underwear waistband hiked up to his nipples.

I love it. Trump is smart, charismatic, and in touch with the vast army of non-insider Whites who are FED UP with anti-White virtue signaling and the gayfagfruitcup feminization of White leftoids who, for now, control the media vertical and horizontal. The more pussy bombs the Don drops, the higher his polls go, and the squeakier Kevin Williamson’s cucksnark gets.

Would you rather have a vulgar President or a mincing, prissy, passive-aggressive, White-hating, mulatto fuccboi president? Rhetorical.
