I don't think this court's ruling will have any effect on Muslims in the UK because there are too many of them.I was wondering why, with over 50 countries in the world where Muslims are a majority, they have any need to live in a country like the UK or the USA. The problem is that they do not have a religion, they have a 'world-view' that includes all they see. While Christians can say, I can smoke or chew tobacco or drink (see Jesus changed the water to good wine, Paul advising Timothy to drink wine, etc) and still be a good Christian, the Muslim cannot do any of that. And they have a whole bunch of other rules, like what the surgical procedure they perform on their young girls that destroys their ability forever to enjoy what Genesis describes as "Adam knew Eve and she conceived..." And that they cannot own a dog because all dogs are considered unclean. And politics? Christians can be of any party or none, while Muslims will only be happy when their religion controls the govt, like it is done in Saudi Arabia. In the meantime, they are 'biding their time.' |

I was going to comment on the value of all these celebrities involvement with religion, wondering what special weight do they have to comment on anything. For the most part, acting is a lot of memorizing, and there is some creativity in 'pretending' to be something you are not. How do those skills transfer to religion or politics to give them a platform to speak on? It is sad that much of our society is driven by the need to keep up on what Celebrity A said about something, or wore, or ate. Some might say that President Trump was elected because he had this celebrity recognition, while many other fine people were passed over. Well, that's the way it is in today's world, driven by clicks and smartphones, images and videos. But when I read the Tx comment about what a teen was listening to, it made me think of what a friend pointed out...the most recent book by comic strip "Dilbert" author, called "Loserthink" has a section about the importance of what you fill your mind with. For a secular guy like that to write pages on what our Bible teaches, that we should have the 'mind of Christ' (see Phillipians 2, 1 Corinthians 2) it really is amazing. And he is not alone among secular people noticing this effect. |

1. Rush is not registered to vote Democrat, and in Florida, that means he cannot vote for this sodomite. 2. Rush does have the largest talk radio audience, but even so, I think people 'self-select' so that few Dems listen to him. He is definitely preaching to the choir. Therefore, this sodomite will get few votes from Rush's audience. 3. Maybe the sodomite is just trying to get more clicks going his way, but again, Dems don't care about Rush (or Fox News), so what's the point? 4. Bottom line: all these Dem candidates have nothing to offer, and the debate just showed you their main strength--attacking one another. It reminds you of that old saying about the 'bucket of crabs' where they conspired against any crab who tried to get out of the bucket. If you put only 1 crab in the bucket, he might escape, but with 2 or more, they will keep each other from getting out. It is interesting to note there are no more black or Asian candidates among them. |

It is interesting to compare this issue with how they deal with the guns issue. I've heard that every male in the country is required to serve in their armed services, and they are all armed. I wonder how that affects the crime rate. Another issue that would be interesting to find out how they deal with is immigration, especially of Muslims. I've heard in other European countries, Muslims are welcomed, and, as a result, women have to be very careful when they leave their homes. For many Muslims, maybe the ones from subdeveloped countries (that our President famously termed with a bathroom-related term), any woman--of any age--walking on the street alone is considered to be a prostitute, because in their religion, women's place is in the home, under the care of a parent or husband. Therefore, when they see a woman walking alone, with no protection nearby (what in America would be called a 'pimp'), they think they can attack that woman and sexually assault her. I've also heard that large groups of Muslim men, say 15 to 30, will go out and gang up on a woman to assault her, even in a public place like a train station. So, in Switzerland, is this happening? |
