In REALITY ~ President Obama has indeed acknowledged this and every other THREAT now Facing America and is doing Exactly what needs to be done to "Confront, Control, & Abate" it ~
Ted Cruz was Born in a Foreign Country, a Different Place with Different VALUES which means he obviously dosen't understand what being President of the United States is all about ~ His "War Crime" Mantra of "Carpet BOMBING" the Middle EAST to test if the "SAND Glows" proves this to be true ~
I'm sure if given the Chance, he would probably "Carpet BOMB" certain Minority Ethnic Groups & Religious Denominations right here in America if he could ~
That is one of my favorite verses as well. Thank you for sharing...nice cherry-picking...it brings back fond memories from childhood. It is meaningful beyond expression as a core belief.
There are only two destinations for the human soul, heaven or hell. I have known where I'll be going since I was a child. I'll be going to be with Almighty God!
I believe discussions are better than arguments because an argument is to find out who is right, and a discussion is to find out what is right. - Cheers!

I ignore control freaks who think you have to answer their silly questions.
Nothing holy about throwing crap. That's one good reason not to have a religion. Thanks for the great example, LL. I'm sure you can demonstrate more examples for us. Please, do.
Too cute!
Going in a garage doesn't make you a car anymore than going in a church makes you a Christian.
Again, being born-again has nothing to do with religion.. It has everything to do with knowing Jesus Christ. Thank God for that! But, religion can mess that up royally. ... We should not live in legalism that Scriptures do not impose. Religious people do impose legalism to control.
Have a blessed day!

Anglican Communion Suspends U.S. Episcopal Church Over Same-Sex Marriage
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ang … ex-n496786
The Episcopal Church in the U.S. has received a major scolding. The worldwide Anglican Communion voted to suspend the entire U.S. Episcopal Church this week because it has embraced same-sex marriage, allowing the election of homosexual priests and allowing same-sex marriages to be performed. It is wrong and is against what Almighty God clearly teaches in His Word. But, religious people will argue against God's Word...they have a different Jesus from the One in the Bible.
We can only hope this will cause the Episcopal Church in America to realize the seriousness of the steps they have taken that are contrary to the Bible and cause them to turn back to following what God’s Word teaches.
Churches are turning into the Rainbow House now? Not a good sign!
Not a good leader in the Rainbow House...unholy!
Live to Learn...are you one of those religious people you are referring to? Its really hard to tell.
Let me spell this out for you...Having a relationship with Jesus Christ is not religion, knowing God is not a religion. That simple.I do realize that you want to label yourself something different but, your words in this thread make it very clear that the standard definition of religious applies to you. There is nothing wrong with being religious; as long as someone is honest with themselves about it. If one can't be honest with oneself it is difficult for others to trust them to be able to make honest assessments of other things.
Also, I agree that there is nothing holy about throwing crap. I do wish a couple of religious people in this thread would stop it.I am a Christian...and if that makes my views conservative to a Left-wing or far Left-Right-Wing or whomever...so be it. No problem. I do not belong to the Right or Left party nor to a religion.
I belong to Christ. Is there a party for that? Christian!
I am a sinner saved by the Grace of God, and grateful!

Just saying.

"You cannot know another person's heart; no matter what you think of what they say or do. Vipers. He was speaking to the religious." ~ LIVE TO LEARN --- ( Proverbs 17:28
And, the rationalization is to followed from Live to Learn. But...
Proverbs 26:4 ► "Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him. 5 Answer a fool as his folly deserves, That he not be wise in his own eyes."The Pharisees (and more) were the religious people in the day. They took away and added to the Word of God to fit their agendas...and did not believe God's Word was the Truth. So, they denied the Truth and the Truth of the Word. Maybe, kind of like what you are saying?
I would suggest thinking about that for a very, very long time because the Word is specific. God's Word isn't going to change even if you don't believe what it says. (period)

More good news! This is a federal judge that Obama appointed.
U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled today, and rejected President Barack Obama's assertion of executive privilege to deny Congress access to records pertaining to Operation Fast and Furious, a gunrunning probe that allegedly allowed thousands of weapons to flow across the border into Mexico.

Will Obama ever give the honest truth? Nah, he likes the economics of gunrunning, lies, half-truths and cover-ups. He's happy & gay!
He,... can't be honest.El Chapo ended up with Fast and Furious weapons from Obama's gunrunning scandal. No wonder the Obama Administration didn't want to cooperate. This is a big deal and a great slap-down to El-bama.
Thankfully, the ACLJ's, Jay Sekulow is on the case. I just finished watching his live radio broadcast. I gotta love the judge for being so bold.

Added: SHTF! Now the EPA is under investigation for targeting conservative groups.
It appears that science, integrity, The Constitution and Common Sense are passé in the Washington establishment. In fact they have been a non-existent, "kiss of Death" on the resume of all appointees of this administration of Demos, RINOs and whatever "ists" perspective those in power profess loyalty to! It's certainly not loyalty to the USA & The Constitution they swore to protect & defend! All three traits that are essential for the long term good of all have been successfully purged in favor of radical zealots dedicated to their uber-subjective "raisin d'être" and committed to bypass legality, The Constitution and all they gave their oath to protect and defend... In order to spin, socially engineer, target and corrupt all conservative thought of "the truths we hold self-evident" in favor of the centralized plan of the elite NWO!
This We desperately need the Convention of States enacted to balance the power in this country, regardless of who becomes POTUS!

Remember Obama's SOTU address where he said ... “The United States of America, right now, has the strongest, most durable economy in the world. Anyone claiming that America’s economy is in decline is peddling fiction.”
Well turns out he can't even come up with a 1/2 truth on that topic. The guy cannot be honest or will not be honest with the American people. Psychopath!
Look at the projection of the Federal Debt. Obama is a comedian.
The economy is in decline and it seems Obama is "peddling fiction".
The Congressional Budget Office Report...January 19, 2016.
In 2016, the federal budget deficit will increase, in relation to the size of the economy, for the first time since 2009, according to the Congressional Budget Office’s estimates. If current laws generally remained unchanged, the deficit would grow over the next 10 years, and by 2026 it would be considerably larger than its average over the past 50 years, CBO projects. Debt held by the public would also grow significantly from its already high level.

Pants on fire!Obama might get what he deserves yet, here's hoping. I don't think Shotgun Joe would appoint Hillary as VP. The FBI keeps pulling damning documents off her wiped unsecured server, some of them are Top Secret, and some have a higher security rating than that that she compromised. She hasn't been interviewed by the FBI yet...and she is scared from what I see. She's attacking Obama's Attorney General now, instead of cackling like a witch. If the Clinton Machine wasn't scared of an indictment by Lynch, she would be laughing like she has been doing. Just my opinion though.
But, wrong is right these days and right is wrong, just like it warns of in the Scriptures.
Help is on the way!
I don't keep up with the news in Belfast (no TV service). But, I did look up some news sites online out of curiosity. It seems all through history there has been the protestant-catholic conflict in Ireland. Edited to add: (unions and non-union workers)

ISIS mercenaries are having to take a 50% pay cut according to Aymenn Jawad al-Tamimi a leading scholar who tracks ISIS. The leak came from within ISIS.

Times are tough for the Islamic State.
Yes, it is disturbing but no surprise. Racism was literally invented here in America. After Pope Nicholas V issued the papal bull Dum Diversas in 1452, the European Invasion of this continent in 1492 provided the Europeans with the opportunity to implement it's racist doctrine. America's foundation of evil was based on the Christian White Supremacist rhetoric of this document. Racism was an important tool used to assuage the conscience of Christian peasants; justifying slavery and ethnic cleansing through a supposed racial and moral superiority.
Racism cannot exist, or be defined independent of a system of racism that has been agreed upon, or practiced by a majority. In this respect, racism is like a fire. A fire cannot exist independent of a source of fuel; only in our dreams. Neither can racism exist between members of the same race, as the very notion is quite absurd. What you have described concerning the Celts and other Europeans was simply a matter of xenophobia, triablism, or nationalism.
There are only three fundamental races in the world: Negroid, Mongoloid, and Caucasian. The Europeans prior to the 15th century had very little contact with Negroid or Mongolid peoples. Consequently, there were no national debates concerning superiority, nor any official decrees announcing such superiority. As far as the Romans were concerned, they were superior to anyone who wasn't a Roman. Although they did have some contact with Ethiopians, overall, they had very little contact with sub-Saharan Africans. Consequently, race was not an issue in their daily life.
The papal bull Dum Diversas is the first known official decree that divided the races, and gave the European Christian the divine right to enslave, and dispossess non-Christians. This right naturally led to a sense of superiority. Unlike the Romans, who did not use race as a prerequisite for perpetual servitude, the Europeans of the mid 15th century, with the approval of the Catholic Church, for practical reasons focused primarily on sub-Saharan Africans who were dark skinned. Thus, we can clearly see the origin of racism in the 15th century, and how it has developed during the last 500 years.
But your funniest, and most erroneous comment is your remark about Gilgamesh.I have read the Epic of Gilgamesh, and I have even read the boring commentary that explains the translation. Nowhere in this ancient poem is their any reference to racism. There are some people around here from Idaho , and other backwater places, but I am not one of them.
The Epic of Gilgamesh is about a hero who wanders in search of a cure from a disease; a sickness of which he has been smitten after the death of his companion Enkidu. The hero fears that the disease will be fatal and longs to escape death. I appreciate your feedback blargablarga. To show my appreciation, I'm giving you a D+.
It is not my problem that you are uneducated concerning the matter of racism. If you ever find the time, please read the poem and show me where it speaks of racism. It does not. Apparently someone told you a story and you believed it. Happens all the time. I find it interesting that many people who participate in online forums become so angry and hateful whenever someone disagrees with them, or points out the error in their thinking.
Your comment about the mule is also very telling. It reveals that you have an issue with your own personal history. In a world where many can define themselves, you apparently cannot, and so you attack anyone who might point out a fundamental, or a constant; things that are illusory in a greater sense, but necessary for us to function on a daily basis.
And it is you who created the strawman about the world being segregated prior to the 15th century. Please, if you are going to raise an argument, base your argument on something that is real, or at least something that can't be verified. Anyone can follow this thread and see that I said no such thing. You have only exposed your own intention. And what does "Pliny The Elder" have to do with racism. OK, I get it, you want us to know that you read books.
Finally, in attempting to denigrate me you have only illustrated that, not only do you not understand racism, but you also do not understand the definition of a troll. For instance:
You replied to my post. I had replied to Esoteric and you joined in. Esoteric disagreed with my original comment and so I had a purpose, which was to argue my point with Esoteric. What does this mean? First of all, a troll will usually come out of nowhere and join a conversation or debate. In this case, you are the person who came out of nowhere and joined the debate. The second thing is that I had a purpose. The purpose of a troll is not to defend an existing argument of his, or her own, but to interject a new argument in an active forum, simply for the sake of argument. You are the person who interjected a new argument. Finally, a troll will invariably resort to vitriol and name calling if the person they are trolling reduces them to the level of a subordinate with their superior intellect. Here we can clearly see that it was you who resorted to vitriol and name calling. Hopefully, you will learn from this experience.

It is to be expected, the blind eyes that is. Some are anti-christ and listen to their own master, unaware of the great deception, falsely believing they are free and there is no such thing as the devil. Its easy to discern such things when we have the manual. It comes as no surprise.
One thing, if Obama was "the antichrist" he would not be bowing to the Saudi king, would he? Wouldn't it be the other way around? Obama does refer to that evil man as "the Supreme Ruler". Bowing is a sign of loyalty. No Christian would ever bow to an evil king...But, some people defend that Obama is a Christian. Being disillusioned can be difficult without the will to be open minded. 
Obama was bought with a price by a rich barbarian king.

The Feds allow chaos, looting, and widespread destruction with protesters in Ferguson and Baltimore and elsewhere... Yet they gun down a salt of the earth rancher protesting the arrests of his fellow ranchers and the bully tactics of Fed DOI on grazing land they've been using for years. Despicable and ironic that Obama's been prepping his Homeland Security private army and massive containment facilities for Martial Law since first elected and now he's creating a scenario for him to use it by killing a segment of American citizens who will not take this lying down! This is a horrible development that will test the real mettle and integrity of our congress, judicial system, our people and perhaps jolt awake a sleeping giant that is America! If you investigate the behind the scenes conflict of interest with Harry Reid and Hillary Clinton in those Western lands and follow the money you will stop voting the Fed the absolute, corrupt power they are attempting to exercise! Martial law, in effect, has begun in the West... and it's unconstitutional, wrong and a real threat to us all! Wake up America!

White Lives Matter, too! #WhiteLivesMatterAll that I have checked so far to see if it happened or not is this FBI video where several errors in the video are pointed out ... and that the title of the story should be "Believe me I'm f_____g lying".

WB, might be right. IDK what to think. Either way its heart breaking.
Perhaps "Uranium & Death" ... it kind of reminds me of "Taxes & Death".
ADDED:
I wonder why the FBI was there at all. It wasn't a bank robbery, terrorism or a serious federal felony. Shouldn't it have been the US Marshals?
I haven't heard a peep out of Obama. His silence is the same as approval. The media is down playing this as well, in fact the media is still trying to dress this up as a "crack down on terrorist."
Do you have any proof other than your blind acceptance of authority?
Let's look at the facts:
• Less than a month ago (at this point I believe it's been 28 days) armed men hijacked a federal building and threatened violence against anyone who tried to remove them.
• During this illegal occupation protesters have made several trips to and from Burns Oregon which is 30 miles from the wildlife refuge. During these trips they conversed with local law enforcement, picked up supplies, etc..
Knowing that they had drawn a line in the sand, not only as challenge to local law enforcemet, but also the FBI, can we really believe that these men would feel comfortable making the 60 mile round trip to Burns on more than one occasion? No, we cannot! Sorry folks, armed terrorists, extremists, cowboys, whatever you want to call them, who seize a federal building and threaten government officials with violence simply don't behave in such a cavalier fashion. I can hardly believe that white privelege extends to this degree.
The alleged shooting of LaVoy Finicum reads like a poorly written Hollywood script. It has been reported that as many as 120 rounds were fired at the truck by trained shooters using state of the art weaponry. But if this were true, all of the occupants should be dead, as this was not an armored vehicle. And it was very convenient for the Lonesome Cowboy to be outside of the truck where the whole world could see him being gunned down.
After the alleged shooting one report stated "...Meantime, the status of those at the refuge was unclear early Wednesday as the FBI and Oregon State Police set up the checkpoints.The FBI was negotiating into the night for the remaining occupiers to leave. Several were allowed to leave without arrest..."
Really? After hijacking federal property and threatening violence against government officials, we can all just go home now? Yes, it is possible that this is all true, but very unlikely. This appears to be a poorly executed government PsyOps reminiscent of the alleged takedown of Bin Laden, which by the way, also never happened. Do you prefer your potatoes baked or fried?
Except that LaVoy was right handed.
I just learned that today and researched photos.
Cold Blooded
The Feds are the only ones who shot down...a living, breathing, bleeding, human being. Or, did they?
Traveling at the speed the truck was going with a road block around a corner, there was no way to stop in time...the snow bank was the best option. LaVoy was gunned down from my perspective and eyewitnesses say he was unarmed. He open carried on his right hip in a holster. This does seem like other false flag events where the media comes out with conflicting stories so everyone is confused and no one really knows all the real facts except for the orchestraters and the victims of a cover up as I see it.
Its easy to see that the video the FBI says is unedited is heavily edited because of the breaks and jumps in the video. I would be a fool to believe anything else they say.

Why have you changed how you feel? Not that "sympathy" is the best thing to have, so I am glad for you that you changed. Three weeks ago you said, "They seem to be fairly peaceful people who begrudge the bullying of the Forestry and Wildlife Service; at their wit's end from watching as a family was being targeted by this branch of the federal government which doesn't appear to believe ordinary citizens have the right to enjoy the use of their own property. I sympathize with them."
On your thread, "Armed Militia Make Stand in Oregon"
http://hubpages.com/politics/forum/1346 … -in-oregon
Empathy is better to have...and I hope you do have empathy, because you really did seem to be trying to understand how the "family" felt on your thread then. I even picked up a wee-bit of a sense of compassion by you, when I felt more hardliner on the stand. Its an emotional roller coaster. ... I was reduced to a puddle of grief after the shock of the shooting (?) wore off a little. But, I am dealing with life and death issues within my own family and am feeling sensitive and vulnerable, and would not want sympathy. The damn had to break.
Or, perhaps your aim was that you had "No sympathy here" for me because I said, "My heart is heavy" and that "my heart is breaking"? Which would be more understandable for me coming from someone as cute and tenderhearted as you. ?

BTW, Muslim is not a race ... it is a government, sharia law and a cult religion. Being Muslim has nothing to do with the color of a person's skin. This is not "racism". I am prejudice toward Islamic jihadists with over-whelming reasons why.
Thousands and thousands of Muslims are having visions and dreams of Jesus Christ and are being called and chosen for a personal spiritual life as Christians. They are turning away from Islam. I would welcome these people from the Middle East tomorrow if they a properly vetted. --- Because they are being rejected by Muslims, persecuted, tortured to try to convert back to Islam, crucified, burned, imprisoned, beheaded, raped, and sold into slavery. But, the Obama Administration doesn't want these Christian refugees... while Muslims get a pass...even jihadists who want to kill Americans.Excess me!
Maybe it is your post that shows that it could be aclueistic (without a clue).
I really like that informative site, thank you for sharing the link. I have been reading off and on most of the day on that site. Its a real eye opener...and could be a shocker for some folks.

but some people will seek to blame the Obama. lol
See: http://www.threeworldwars.com/
Wake up people!
Many Americans are understandably fearful of terrorism and of the immigration policies that could allow terrorists to come into our country. Obama doesn't want us to say that because we're supposed to blindly accept people regardless of them being from ISIS-infused territories around the world. ... But, I will not be politically correct when this is so wrong on several levels.
I predict a huge turnout for the Iowa Caucuses because Americans know there's a lot on the line."Dark Money" about Governor Walker and the Koch brothers, huh? Maybe she knows but not telling on "Hellary & Rubio". Books are not always accurate but I may read it someday. There's dirty money to go around from all sides. Money and power!
Evidently, Hillary received $6 million from Soros recently. But, she's telling the world she hasn't been bought. I think Soros was left a little disappointed in funding Obama's presidential campaign. 
Cruz and Clinton won (edited) in the Iowa Caucus.
Now that should be a good debt.
Just because Obama has ties with Islam and the Muslims around doesn't mean he will be having a spot in Dante's 9th layer of the Inferno!

Dr. Carson did drop out of the race for the White House, but he said he would be involved in politics. I don't know what he has in mind but I'm sure he will be helping people to help themselves to improve their lives. Everyone says what a nice guy he is...I agree 100%. Very nice man!

Just more predictable ridiculous nonsense, Yawn...
Franklin Graham's mission is to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ, not to condemn anyone to hell. He followed in his father, Billy Graham's foot steps to minister the Gospel of Christ. Not hell and brimstone.
Franklin would tell you that, "Jesus loves you." He is a man of God.
Don't believe the devils lies, or Obama's. That's their language.
That's what the religion of Islam does!Usama bin Laden and Associates on the September 11th Terrorist Attacks.
Transcript: http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeche … 21301.html
I was not involved in the attack on 9/11. Read for yourself what bin Laden had to say about the attack that killed 2,996 people and injured more than 6,000 others. He praised Allah for it along with many other Muslims, it was like their team won a soccer game.
Hey, if you want to follow Allah and stand up for radical Islamic terrorists, go for it! We are not on the same side then. 
MAHSA SETAREH WROTE: "Your picture is so racist and prejudice towards Islam."
The picture of the 9/11 terrorist attack is "racist and prejudice towards Islam"? That is so ridiculous! Unbelievable!
Again, Muslin or Islam is not a race. Get it? I am prejudice towards radical Islamic jihadists. It surprises me to find someone who calms to be an American who is not against terrorists. I have to ask: Are you a radical Muslim? Are you trying to suggest that Allah is God?'Please educated yourself?'.... Oh, my goodness!

ISLAM - The True Religion Of Satan

Being Muslim has nothing to do with racism, mahsa. Muslim / Islam has nothing to do with a race...no one is being racist. (period) Shall I say that again and again until you can get it? (or, educate yourself?)
If you do not know about something, you do not worry about it. Ignorance truly is bliss!
* 2 Corinthians 4:4 (NLT)
4 Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.As I said, "If you do not know about something, you do not worry about it. Ignorance truly is bliss!"
It is better for people if they do not know. Nothing to worry about, right? I'm glad you 'got it' that this is NOT racist finally. I still grieve over of the lives that we lost because of 9/11...and victims are still dying.
How many more radical Islamic terrorist attacks have there been since 9/11? How many more does there have to be before people see the pure evil?
Be blessed!So, you lived in the Middle East? Are you a Muslim?
You sound like you may be bias.
Muslims practice "taqiyya" (lying).
2 Corinthians 4:4 (NLT) "Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News..."
I support refugees in the Middle East and get reports from people on the ground and from people who have been there, imprisoned, or live / lived there. But, I suppose according to you, they all need to educate themselves?
I wonder how much Jesus Christ earned from spreading his message.
By following in his father’s foot steps and spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, Franklin Graham earned $1.2 million in 2008 from two salaries, two retirement packages and an assortment of other tax-free payments. This number shocked the philanthropic industry and publicly embarrassed both the evangelist and the two ministries founded by his father that were paying him. Graham admitted in a Charlotte Observer interview that his total compensation package “looks terrible” and that “people won’t understand it.” {1}
The evangelist made a very public announcement in 2009 that he was suspending “for the time being” all contributions to the two retirement plans funded by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) and Samaritan’s Purse. A few days later, he announced that he also intended to work for BGEA “for no compensation” but no time limit was stated. “I feel that God has called me to this ministry and that calling was never based on compensation,” he wrote in a memo to employees at BGEA.
However, with far less publicity, Franklin Graham resumed his salary from BGEA one year later. He also began to shift large portions of his two salaries to perks and other benefits, thereby, reducing his total declared compensation last year from both charities down to a little more than $880,000, with $258,667 coming from BGEA. {2}
While the $880,000 salary he collects today is less than the $1.2 million he received in 2008, it is still considered inappropriate by the experts who monitor nonprofit charities. Guidestar, a group that gathers financial data on thousands of nonprofits, reported that his earnings in 2013 as CEO of Samaritan’s Purse were greater than every other US-based international relief charity including some with larger operating budgets. In stark contrast, the $3 billion operating budget of the American Red Cross, another global relief organization similar to Samaritan’s Purse, is several times greater than that administered by Franklin Graham, but the Red Cross CEO receives compensation below $600,000 a year.
Even beyond the many comparisons to secular nonprofits, Franklin Graham’s lucrative salaries have also drawn criticism from other evangelical organizations as well!
“Compensation-setting practices should be consistent with generally accepted biblical truths and practices,” according to the guidelines published by the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability. But, such is not the case at Samaritan’s Purse since Franklin Graham took over.
Pablo Eisenberg is a senior fellow at the Georgetown University Center for Public & Nonprofit Leadership who has labeled Franklin Graham’s tandem salaries “outrageous.” “It’s a moral issue particularly for a man of faith,” he told the Observer. “And also you have to remember that (compensation is) partly paid for by the taxpayer. In a sense, we the taxpayers are subsidizing Frank Graham’s salary and his relatives who are paid.” {3}
Mr. Eisenberg’s makes a valid point about taxpayers subsidizing Franklin Graham and his family. Graham is CEO and chairman of the 14-member BGEA board of directors. His son Will, his sister Anne Graham Lotz and his cousin Melvin also sit on the board. In addition, IRS 990 forms filed annually by the BGEA list salaries for Billy Graham, for W. Franklin Graham IV (Franklin Graham’s son), and for numerous other family members. {4}
While donors have 880,000 valid reasons to question why their charitable contributions are not being spent frugally, William Franklin Graham III continues to raise the levels of greed and avarice among evangelicals who do not practice what they preach.

Well then I don't know what kind of education you had..
Allah is just another TERM in ARABIC for GOD.
If Mohammed who is also the prophet of God is as you say 'satan' then so are all the other prophets and messengers of God including Christ.
I can't believe the media had done some serious brain damage on people! The only prophets I know that believe are:
Zoreaster aka. Zarathustra) - (Zoreaster Faith)
Lord Krishna- (Hindu Faith)
Siddhartha - (Buddhist Faith)
Moses - (Jewish Faith)
Christ - (Christianity)
Muhammed - (Islam)
Baha'u'llah - (Baha'i Faith)
There are NO prophets after them...Anyone who claims to be a prophet or messenger of God after them is a covenant breaker.

When I talk to my American Muslim friends I am inspired by their compassionate moderate conservative views on the important issues we face together as citizens. They can see beyond the exterior of propaganda, (lies), and the decade old illusions being created with the help of Muslim-Liberal allies.
My friends have their say, qua Muslims, throughout the world wide web and in their communities. They are for the history and the roots Americans identify with in their homeland. They are for Christians to be able to celebrate their rich inheritance without persecution... As they are for all faiths to continue to be able to celebrate in peace and harmony on this beautiful land for all who love and appreciate our home.
BTW, they are promoting Trump, who said, ... "You've got fabulous Muslims. I know many Muslims. They're fabulous people. They're smart. They're industrious. They're great."
They tell others about the lies the establishment / media / brainwashed, etc. spew. I feel honored that they consider me a friend.
Although I don't necessarily agree with their feelings because the FACT is Donald is much BRIGHTER than people give him credit for, all the MUSLIMs I know think TRUMP is a Dangerous Retarded CLOWN ~
Thank you, AP...I will be laughing over your comment for days.
I agree with that quote by Dr. Ben Carson 100%. But...
Recently the brilliant brain surgeon questioned Obama’s "black experience,” hinting about O's white mother.
“He was, you know, raised white. I mean, like most Americans, I was proud that we broke the color barrier when he was elected, but … he didn’t grow up like I grew up.”
I'm having a little trouble with the logic Carson is using, it must be a 'white thing' on my part, huh. What is the logic?I see what your saying and think you are right. Its like Bernie Sanders saying that "America was founded on racism". In other words its rhetoric...sly!
During the 18th century humans were not considered equal under the law here or anywhere else. Our positions in life were determined by birth. Not by race, politics, relations or religions.
Oh, these other persons...blah, blah, blah.I don't think so ... not about the GOP wanting to establish positions by birth. That sounds more like Obama's liberals giving special preference to Muslims/Blacks, to me.
Obama is trying again to close Getmo which is nothing but an attempt to keep a promise to a group of terrorists he supports with government money and weapons because of birth, conversions, donations and whatever other deals he made. - Fawning his radicalized-masters. grrr!
Tit for tat!
Anyway, I was surprised and didn't understand Dr. Carson saying that. Its rhetoric! He needs to step off the debt stage at this point, he's done.
ISIS is well known as the "Islamic State in Iraq and Syria ".
This thread is not anti-Islam...it is anti-radical Islamic terrorism and Shariah law. Obama is an apologist for radical Islamic terrorists.
Sorry if you misinterpreted and didn't know what ISIS stands for.
Hi John, thank you for your assistance. I hope things have been peachie for you and you are in good health.
Meme!That all sounds good, John. I would like to see the US retain to the Rule of Law that the founders of the Republic built this Nation upon under God.
Democracy / Socialism / Communism might sound good in soundbites, on bumper stickers and on social media, too. But, what it does is corrode the economy and the human spirit itself.
"The larger the mob, the harder the test. In small areas, before small electorates, a first-rate man occasionally fights his way through, carrying even the mob with him by force of his personality. But when the field is nationwide, and the fight must be waged chiefly at second and third hand, and the force of personality cannot so readily make itself felt, then all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most easily adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum.
The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
