Millenialists predicting the Second Coming or Rapture have been around since at least the 1st Century. People are always predicting the imminent return of Christ. One of these days someone will be right and in the meantime there will always be a willing audience that wants and yearns for the end-times to be right around the corner,
My purpose isn't to be sarcastic nor taunt any believer but what I don't really accept is that when you remember about the roots of protestantism (Luther's grievances) one of these was about the Bible to be translated in a vernacular language and not in latin so anyone, poor or rich, peasant or lord, can read it without interpretation or guidance from a priest or any initiate. A kind of “back to the roots” movement. Therefore I don't understand why people should listen to a pastor who “twice” predicted such a fundamental event according to his own interpretation. His rapture-day might concern the livings, not the deads; so why to suddenly worry when the deadline (love that word) is announced ? If you live according to righteous principles, what wrong can happen ?Harold Camping can apply for any job at the Vatican.http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/05/23/preacher-got-date-apocalypse-wrong-tries-says-months/
Excuse my French …http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/ny_now_foreign_soiled_aO2qBVSSksO04WuZjDCjkI/0 ... Enough is enough. Get rid of the creeps! From fall to summer, they arrive on our shores. The decadent. The de praved. The malodorous, greedy, drunk and demented. They are scofflaws and alleged rapists. Petty criminals and those who commit crimes of passion, opportunity or sheer boredom. They have one thing in common. They are foreign nationals...Sodom and Gonorrhea sydrome or short memory ? (Is this article laughable or ... the gap is really really deep ?)Both judicial sytems are very different but how to explain it ? ???
While I generally frown upon modernist "armchair judges" of history, I think it is crucial for any society to evaluate the morality of significant decisions made by political leaders. In particular, issues of life and death need to be considered with great care, lest we as a nation or society begin to violate the very principles which we are supposed to be guarding.
I agree but don't you think it's also a matter of survival ? If you're attacked, won't you fight back? No matter you respect or not your laws if your attackers spit on it
What was shocking was the treatment of returning viet nam vets bythe general citizenry, all who participated in dierespect to those brave men should forever hang their head in shame.
But, unfortunately, they are not. Instead they are all teaching their Marxist drivel at universities throughout the US and Europe.
It took a long time but finally the wait was worth ;D
