Reminds me of that stupid coexist bumper sticker all over Ann Arbor on the bumpers of people who are also fully on board with killing babies and marginalizing Christians. Like Teresa said, also.
Well, Teresa, there IS only ONE God no matter what. But, all the warring factions who claim "ownership" or "allegiance" to Him have little or no idea who and what He really is.
Because of vast cultural differences -- which foster differing STYLES of behavior and value systems -- each one of these has his OWN idea of God.
ALL of them -- including "us" -- are either wrong, or painfully limited in our understanding of Truth.
"... For now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face. For now we know in part, but then shall I know, even as also I am known ..."
"Eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard. Neither hath entered into the heart of Man the things that God hath prepared for those who love Him."
For those reasons we have no right whatsoever to judge one another harshly, but we do have a right to defend ourselves when attacked.
It's the last part of that statement The West seems to want to forget. In rejecting the true strength of Christianity in favor of cowardly, pusillanimous policies of generic Good Will and Tolerance, we have rolled out the red carpet for Mischief, and have ushered in the Reign of Demons who daily nudge us closer and closer to the brink of actual SUICIDE.

FT, Certainly, not all faiths include the tenets of other faiths.
The core of Christianity is that Jesus, the sacrifice that bore our iniquities, redeems us from our sins. No other faith includes that tenet.
In my view, as a Christian, not all faiths worship the true God -- although, certainly, most of mankind does seem to have an inherent need to seek out a supreme being. Furthermore, each faith promotes that faith as the best way.
Also in my view, when the political sphere and the religious sphere merge, the mayhem begins. Holy wars all over the place as adherents of each faith attempt to force that faith upon everyone else.
Maybe we'd be better to consider this question: Which faith has brought the world the best values system?
Or maybe this question: Which faith shaped Europe over the centuries?
I don’t care what Europe does; I only care what we Americans do here at home. Let’s face it, we Americans were Europeans (and other peoples as well) and we came here to rid ourselves of the European mindset. We wanted not to have to contend with royalty and authoritarianism; we wanted to be free. Those people who remained behind were happy with the way things were … so screw them. Let them eat their cake.
Our problem, as pointed out by Rational Nation, is that scum pigs are attempting to bring communism here. They are succeeding. And if we do not take our heads out of collective asses, we will be just like those morally bankrupt Europeans—which is Obama’s goal, as supported by the dimmest of all light bulbs: Ducky and Liberalman.
Fact Check: Obama bin Laden is dead, and Ambassador Chris Stevens is dead, and General Motors is Alive.
However, Our Dear Vice President Smirky Joe fails to tell us that General Motors still owes $27 billion on the nearly $50 billion it received from Our Dear Leader from the bailout, and it doesn't end there, Ally Bank, the lending company still owes $14.7 billion of the $17.2 billion taxpayer-funded bailout it received. Nothing they say will change that! So is General Motors Still Alive? Well yeah, I guess you can call it that!!
Allow me to postulate from one interpretation of the scriptures. I think things like this are an indication of what we see predicted in the 13th chapter of Revelations. There will be "global unity" at some point, but it will not be a happy occasion.
And the dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished and followed the beast. Men worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?" The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for forty-two months.He opened his mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven.He was given power to make war against the saints and to conquer them. And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation.All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast--all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.He who has an ear, let him hear. Rev. 13: 1-9
@ RadRed -- I never have understood why Romney/Ryan haven't made "GM And The Story Of The Banks Too Big To Fail" their centerpiece of IDIOCY AT ITS HIGHEST. They could have Obimbo and his gnomes crying under the table if they'd just keep hammering away at HOW MUCH they STILL OWE and at HOW LONG it's been. IMO, anyway.
That is really scary, that some people are so stupid they actually believe. Yet this is where Europe is headed and I fear we have the roots starting to sprout here in the US.

I think a lot of people fail to realize what happened with Chrysler and GM.
They went bankrupt!
GM and Chrysler are gone, the companies that took their place have the same names and the same corrupt unions but they are GM and Chrysler in name only.
Its similar to what happened to Kmart. They went bankrupt, the people and employees that owned stock were left with worthless paper and someone else (Sears Holdings Corporation) merged, stepped in, made deals, paid the creditors and took over. The details were different and it was handled legally under US laws.
(Opposed to the GM Chrysler deals the details of which were mandated the by extralegal maneuvering of Obama and his cronies.)

Disturbing! All cultures and beliefs are equal, including comminism. No wonder Euope is swirling the drain.
ReplyDelete"We can all share the same star" Really? Some groups symbolized there are intolerant and tyrannical. Europe sure does have its head in the sand.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of that stupid coexist bumper sticker all over Ann Arbor on the bumpers of people who are also fully on board with killing babies and marginalizing Christians.
ReplyDeleteLike Teresa said, also.
What Conservativesonfire said. This is the dangerous nonsense that is flushing the olde continent down the toilet. It's a shame...
ReplyDeleteThis can only mean one thing. Obama needs to apologize more so we can keep up with the Europeans.

Sam,
ReplyDeleteI typically don't concern myself much with what Europe does. Except that:
1. I have a few friends in Europe. They're aghast at what's proceeding there.
2. I've read Mark Steyn's America Alone.
