    Simple Test to determine whether you hold American values or Fascist values: AMERICAN VALUES: "As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protection of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality." George Washington “Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by a difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought to be deprecated. I was in hopes that the enlightened and liberal policy, which has marked the present age, would at least have reconciled Christians of every denomination so far that we should never again see the religious disputes carried to such a pitch as to endanger the peace of society.” George Washington - letter to Edward Newenham, October 20, 1792 FASCIST VALUES: “We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theater, and in the press - in short, we want to burn out the poison of immorality which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of liberal excess during the past ... (few) years.” - Adolf Hitler, quoted in: The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, 1922-1939, Vol. 1 (London, Oxford University Press, 1942), pg. 871-872 “A state that once again rules in God's name can count not only on our applause but also on enthusiastic and active cooperation from the church. With joy and thanks we see how this new state rejects blasphemy, attacks immorality, promotes discipline and order with a firm hand, demands awe before God, works to keep marriage sacred and our youth spiritually instructed, brings honor back to fathers of families, ensures that love of people and fatherland is no longer mocked, but burns in a thousand hearts. ...We can only plead with our fellow worshipers to do as they can to help these new productive forces in our land reach a complete and unimpeded victory. - Easter Sunday Blessing from Protestant Pastors in Bavaria, April 16, 1933

    Isn’t the real cynical theory the one that asserts everyone else is motivated by self interest and only self interest? “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” Eli Wiesel "Tolerance of intolerance is cowardice.” Ayaan Hirsi Ali “There is a huge difference between being tolerant and tolerating intolerance.” (Avaan Hirsi Ali) “I have seen great intolerance on the name of tolerance” Samuel Taylor Coleridge “The Paradox of Tolerance Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.” Karl Popper “The real point is that you cannot harbor malice toward others and then cry foul when someone displays intolerance against you. Prejudice tolerated is intolerance encouraged. Rise up in righteousness when you witness the words and deeds of hate, but only if you are willing to rise up against them all, including your own. Otherwise suffer the slings and arrows of disrespect silently.” Harvey Fierstein

    Atheism and Materialism is the trap. Attacks on religion are always used by the Left to position the State as the Highest Power. You can go higher than religion, and go straight to God, as intended as a way out, but you can't go down into the Material world. That's just another cage, just one with invisible bars that many won't even see.

    What you might not know is that the book is truly based on the Bible. Whenever God makes a new rule, Matheson cites chapter and verse. As another reviewer of the book has said, to paraphrase: If you want to become an atheist, read the Bible. If you want to become an atheist while laughing hysterically, read this book. Clearly those who claim that one must believe every word of the Bible absolutely must filter out what they don't like about it first.

My Christian gf (34) who used to go to seminary school, whom I thought was smart and beautiful, breaks up with me because I like to kiss her, my gf whom I want to be intimate even if we don't have typical sex. Like literally just sleeping in a bed together. Kisses. And some play. Not Lust. Not Fornication. But Sexual Morality. She wants a relationship without any touch and affection, but wants to be married within 6 mos- 1yr of knowing someone. I say in 4 - 5 years I want kids, with marriage before kids pf course. Still, I think she want Married + Sex for Procreation. Breaks up with me. She was so beautiful , sweet and kind. I thought. I'm sad, but whats sadder is I might be the last solid guy she'll ever meet before hitting the wall without chance of family. If she would have gave me the most beautifully intimate year of my life Id definitely would want a family. Who wouldn't. Sad #SheLookedLikeJLUVixen #BeautifulSoul_IThought

    Christianity is what keeps us from our Spirituality. When we get away from this way of life, we will start to receive our blessings. We as a people have to realize that Christianity is the pinnacle of white supremacy. GOD did not give us religion, he gave us laws and commandments, we have to read the first commandment because that's where you will find the truth. Jesus is not GOD.
