Despite her vacuous rhetoric in support of Israel, Palin intends to support Israel's destruction. The "two-state solution" is an attempt to destroy Israel, and Palin (and McCain, Biden, and Osama--er, Obama) supports it.

Arabs already have 22 nations. The ill-named "Palestinians" are of the same family/tribe/lineage as the Arabs who were granted Jordan. If they want a home outside of Israel, they may move to Jordan--or emigrate to any of the other 21 Arab countries. » read more »

It seems the international community is set on removing Israel from "peace" negotiations. Does anyone else see how stupid this sounds? Israel wants peace. The international community wants Israel to have peace, but they insist upon stopping Israel's participation in that peace process. Instead, they're engineering the process so Israel will have to give in completely to Arab demands, assuring the utter destruction of that tiny nation. » read more »

It's a bit of a tautology: Do you live your values? Of course you do. Everybody does. The more interesting question is: Do you live your stated values? On this one, the vast majority of believers fail the test.

[What follows is not about salvation or damnation. It's about holiness. It's about obedience to the One Whom you claim is your Master when you say you're a Christian.] » read more »

As always, the government has taken a bad situation and made it worse. It seems the gas shortages in GA are due to the EPA's regulations that force us to use "cleaner" gasoline which isn't as available. Of course, their relaxation of this illegal regulation came too late, so the shortages are supposed to last several more days. To make matters worse, GA's governor enabled the "no price gouging" regulation--in stupid defiance of the Law of Supply and Demand--insuring the shortages will be extended artificially and unnecessarily. » read more »

I shouldn't have to state the obvious, but in today's climate of ignorance, it seems I must. Voting is not a universal right. Kids can't vote. Felons can't vote. Foreigners can't vote. To be sure, voting is more universal in this country now than it historically was, so what's wrong with this trend? » read more »

A four-member church has been evicted from their building because they don't have the 18 parking spaces required by code. The owner of the property (one of the members) sought the expensive zoning amendment so the church may again meet there. The city is recommending denial of application because they don't have 18 parking spaces for the 4 members. Ironically: » read more »

This is an interesting proposal about the end of this age. It's nebulous enough that no exact date is proposed. I personally think Ussher's timeline is probably correct, but if there is error there, this alternative may be viable. As for the seven-millennia theory, it would make a nice parallel, to be sure, but there's nothing in Scripture that insists upon it.

Granted, my perception is not typical, I'm sure, but it sure seems to me that high culture (for lack of a better term) is declining. Theater, art, ballet, literature, etc., all seem to be suffering more now than a few years ago--suffering from apathy or disinterest. I believe it's largely due to an overall decline in our civilization, fueled by ignorance and a piss-poor education system. What do you think? » read more »
