Right, Right, Wrong

I had a minor epiphany a few days ago.  Christians view the scriptures of the Jews (who came before them) in a very different light than the Muslims view the Christian (who came before them) scriptures.  To Christians, the scriptures of the Jews are correct and used.  They are Holy and are the word of God.  The Muslims, on the other hand, view the Christian scriptures as being error filled and wrong.  They claim that Jesus did not in fact die on the Cross, but that He left that fate for St. Peter as a punishment for his three time denial of Christ.  (I won't get into what that means here, but leave it for another blog).

PMO

PET created the PMO much like Chancellor Palpatine requested temporary emergency power, for the good.

Socialism

After a convrtsation I had today, I'd like to state that socialism is wrong. There are some things that should be publicly owned--like water and sewage, firefighters and paramedics--but never work. Work should not be subsidized; income should not be socialized.

SSM Cake

With the SSM cake issue heating up in The States, the issue is forcing people (me too) to take sides.  I don't want to be their enemy.  But, as I've said before, "They're going to make me an enemy, and I don't want to be their enemy."  I was and am in favor of SSM.  That being said, I can't stand by while they attack the Church.  They are forcing my hand.  I have, and will, contributed financially and politically to the fight on this specific attack.  Much like the English sailors didn't really want to fight the Danes at Copenhagen, sometimes we are forced into a fight we don't want to fight.  Ever try to break up a fight in high school and get a shot in the head for your trouble; that happened to me.  This is not a fight I want.  FATHER, show us a way forward in mutual respect and cooperation.  I ask this in Jesus' name.  Amen.

Persecution

How long will it be until, like the Jews, Christians have to make a pilgrimage to a new land they can call a nation? 

Money Money

It's true that the conservatives are equally guilty of handing out people's money to them.  The difference being, conservatives give you back your own money to spend as you see fit while liberals give you gift certificates to shops you will never visit.

Don't Understand World

I don't understand the world we live in.  People won't eat meat, but the same people are okay with the murder of the unborn.  They are stanch supporters of no kill shelters, but are in favor of euthanizing the elderly.  Sometimes I hear people--usually quite old--say that they just don't understand the world anymore.  I get it.
