Some days I think I'd like to get a 10mm contender barrel.

I think Democrats are pro gun control. I have not seen one Democrat that has ever said they are for confiscation.

I have.

I think the 'Global Climate Change' guys have the gun lobby beat.

Pro gun, life and family values.

Those are broadly defined qualifiers.

The latest drive toward an iteration of Sharia Law for the cult of right-wing Christians panting for a theocracy is playing out in Kentucky. A new Kentucky bill, SB 180, titled "An Act Relating to the Protection of Rights," creates a state-wide group of "protected activities" and "protected activity providers" to afford immunity from any federal or state laws. The laws intent is so "protected activity providers" (read Christian) can never be fined or charged with any crime for violating the Constitution, Court rulings, or federal laws. Seriously, this is likely the most expansive "permission to persecute" non-compliance the nation has yet experienced.

The Kentucky bill was created specifically to allow any Christian to refuse providing any kind of service to anyone, at any time, and any place if they simply "identify that person as offensive to their religious beliefs." Now, if any reader thinks this horrid religious law is just about giving evangelicals the power of a state law to deny only gay Kentucky residents their civil and equal rights, they are mistaken. The religious law gives any evangelical racist or bigot the right to refuse services of any kind, including government and lifesaving medical services to "interracial, interfaith, atheistic, Muslim, divorced, or any other kind of person their "religion" disapproves; for evangelicals that is every and anyone who is not a white, heterosexual Christian Republican.

This dirty attempt at using religion to strip constitutionally protected civil and equal rights from non-compliant Americans is legend, and goes far beyond backwaters like Kentucky. In fact, to demonstrate just how twisted these Republican theocrats are, and how much they hate the U.S. Constitution, the Texas Attorney General was effusive over appointing another theocrat as his assistant. Ken Paxton is not impressed with his choice's knowledge of Texas law or the Constitution, but because like Paxton he lacks even a fundamental comprehension of the law of the land or how it protects the civil rights of all Americans.

People should be allowed to refuse non-essential services to anyone, for whatever reason, really.

"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."


? Mahatma Gandhi

Sure, that's because Christians are normal people and people are inherently unlike-able, or at least, offensive and easily offended.  People hold Christians to a higher standard.  There's a lot of crony Christianity as well. 

I like it.  I prefer a longer forend.

I think this belongs in a TFH forum.

Jews and The Rapture- Why they want so desperately to convert us.

Posted on December 5, 2011

You know that there is a huge Christian evangelical movement to convert Jews to Christianity. They call it Messianic Judaism and tell the lie that you can believe that Yehoshua (Jesus) is your messiah and still be a practicing Jew. I'm not going to go into why that is a lie in this blog. I'm going to try to answer the question of why they have a mandate to have Jews accept Jesus as their savior.

The goal of messianic "Judaism" and similar groups is to blur the line between Judaism and Christianity, to make Christianity more palatable to Jews.  Some evangelical Christian's believe that for the return of Christ to occur, a certain amount of Jews must accept Jesus. The count varies but 144,000; 12,000 for each of the 12 tribes is a popular number. Most messianic "Jewish" congregations and organizations are intertwined with the evangelicals, who start and fund these congregations. Most of the members of messianic "Jewish" congregations are practicing evangelical Christians.

If you have never heard of the Rapture you are about to. The concept was popularized in the 17th century by Increase Mather and his son Cotton Mather. They said that those who believed would be caught up in the air. When all these good Chistians were miraculously transported to (presumably) heaven, those left on earth would be judged and this would be followed by the millenium.

Today there are variations on the theme but the basics remain the same. The big difference is the Jewish factor. When the UN voted to give the Jewish people their own nation in 1948, some evangelicals saw this as a sign of prophesy in the Christian bible coming to fruition. I don't know how they interpreted the bible and there are many different interpretations but this is a compendium of what they believe.

When 144,000 Jews have been converted to accept Jesus, the Rapture will occur sending all true Christians immediately to heaven and the arms of Jesus. (The first reason they need to convert us.) Left behind will be everyone else. During the next thousand years, the anti-Christ will walk the earth trying to turn people away from Jesus. At the same time, the 144,000 converted Jews will walk the earth trying to get people to accept Jesus. (Now you know the second reason they need to convert us.) At the end of a thousand years, the Second Coming will occur and Jesus will return to earth, ruling from Jerusalem. At that time all those who  accepted Jesus will live on earth in peace;  The rest of us-well sorry dear reader but we're going to hell and burn in the fires of eternal damnation.  Oh, and I thought the Christians were doing this out of their love for the Jews.

Well the truth is out. Evangelical Christians want Israel for Jesus and his followers while they live it up somewhere up above. The fact that Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and all the other faiths that don't accept their belief system will be burning below, doesn't seem to bother them one bit. So please-don't tell me that evangelical Christians are raising millions upon millions of dollars for Israel to help the Jews. Their motives are clear if you just open your eyes and mind to see them. Most of their money in Israel goes to form centers run by evangelical Christiansto help Jews accept Yehoshua (Jesus). The leaders in Israel are blinded by the money and look away from the truth of these people. They are not our friends, they are our nemesis.

My husband tells me this piece of history from the Holocaust. Eichmann offered the Allies a trade; 500 Jews for one truck. He was turned down and the thousands that might have been saved, went to their deaths in the camps. My question is this: What is the price of a Jew today?

I've heard of the rapture, and I've heard of the 144k Jews, but this theory you posted is different from any if the scenarios that I have heard people get from the Bible.  It's also missing the Tribulation and Battle of Armageddon.
Either way, I don't think this is why 'Christians' try to protect Israel.

Why do you think Obama uses the term ISIL and not ISIS?

We, as in America as a nation.

And....

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/03/03/politics/donald-trump-small-hands-marco-rubio/index.html

Headline CNN, Donald Trump defends his penis size.

How else was Romney supposed to address the fact that a guy with the emotional depth of a fifth grader is the front runner in the republican race.

I  am beginning to think that Trump may be popular as the emotional and intellectual depth of the average voter in this country has sunk to the 5th grade level.

Pretty much...
If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with...

And, I know you are but what am I??

What did Romney say that was incorrect?  Did you ever think he could actually be concerned about who could be the president?

We became socialist with the federal reserve and direct vote for senator.

I can name a whole bunch of close to socialist stuff starting at 1777.

Sure, and that's because most elected officials fall prey to the hunger for power and also the gullible are prey to arguments they feel are based in fairness and security.
Liberalism needs to be battled.  And it hasn't been very well.

Hillary is more conservative than Trump.

I don't think you can say he's a liberal, though.  He might be a crony capitalist, opportunist, changing his position to align with what's popular, flip-flipper....
So, I guess he and Hillary have a lot income, but Hillary is much more of a real socialist.

I am quite surprised there is this much interest in the 10mm SOCOM.  We never planned to make it a production item, but I guess we may need to rethink that.
