Looks like the NPCs got their latest orders. Almost identical anti Christian posts.
Attacking "Christian nationalists" seems to be the in thing ATM from both sides.
Good thing it's hypothetical. This would be incredibly asinine and suicidal.
Completely hypothetical question: Suppose that someone today started a new religion that condoned pedophilia, viewed women as inferior, despised everyone who was not of their religion, hated dogs, desired to conquer every inch of the world, hated our culture, civilization, and heritage, was astoundingly illiberal, cut off the clitorises of five-year-old girls, along with 1,000,000 other pieces of evidence that were contrary to every one of your liberal values. Would you think it ok to ban it or should it be granted full freedom to take over our society?
"Rights" don't end. They're rights.
This is what happens when terrorists gain office.

“The art of economics consists in looking not merely at the immediate but at the longer effects of any act or policy; it consists in tracing the consequences of that policy not merely for one group but for…” Henry Hazlitt, Economics in One Lesson (1946).

"Sometimes the issue is not that God is silent. Sometimes the issue is that we are too noisy, too shaped by the pressures around us to hear clearly."
What Does the Bible Say About Making Hard Decisions?
Every life has crossroads. Scripture does not give you a formula for every decision, but it does give you something better: a framework for how to decide.

slavery was basically universal throughout human history.
every race practiced it, every race was enslaved
what's extraordinary about Britain is that it abolished slavery and then sent its navy across the world to stop the slave trade
somehow we turned one of the civilizations that helped end this almost universal evil into the villain instead of showing gratitude
This is insanely backwards.
Slavery has been one of the very few near-universals in human history. What's exceptional about Britain is that it was one of the first major societies that abolished the slave trade and then abolished slavery in much of its empire, and spent decades using the Royal Navy to intercept slave ships.
If the point of teaching history is to understand how a civilization got things wrong, surely we should also want to understand how it eventually changed its mind, and what it took to do so?
God is sitting on His throne.
"Oops" and "Uh-oh" are not part of God's vocabulary.
Your government cannot save you. Regardless of who sits on earthly thrones, salvation is found only in Christ Jesus. There is no other name under heaven by which men can be saved.
It's become evident that all our oppressors, from the government to Islam to the globalists, etc, are eleutherophobic. And so is the average voter.
Brussels has used substantial financial leverage in its dispute with Poland over judicial policy. It also demonstrates that the Commission was willing to regard the commitments of one Polish government as sufficient to change its assessment of the country's rule-of-law situation.
Europe is preparing its citizens for a crisis that may extend far beyond natural disasters. As military readiness rises and political tensions deepen, Poland may be where Europe's competing visions of sovereignty and security collide.
Have a joyous Reformation Day!
Post tenebras lux (after darkness, light), the call of the Reformation is a great reminder of God's sovereignty & provision, paving the way for the growth of Christianity in Europe, leading eventually to the Great Awakening that influenced America.
On this day in 1517, Martin Luther formally circulated his Ninety-Five Theses against the sale of indulgences, sending them to the Archbishop of Mainz and sparking the Protestant Reformation.

Minions of Satan, coming in peace.
Shocking footage that has sent shockwaves through Christian communities in Nigeria.
A well known Islamist figure in Nigeria was filmed teaching child cadets chants calling for the slaughter of Christians. Even some members of the Muslim community in Nigeria condemned it. These are the kinds of jihadists who indoctrinate children into becoming murderers. There have been numerous massacres of Christian communities in the province of Enugu in the Southern parts of Nigeria, and where these chants in this video are calling for more.
“Give me AK47s
To go to Enugu
Into the infidels
On a Sunday
While they are rejoicing
While they are clapping
And spray fire on them”

Another acting legend is gone. I guess that the age comes with being a legend, which increases the sorrow.
While I enjoyed him in Star Trek and Marvel movies, he still stands out in my mind from Excalibur and Dune. For some reason, I picture him more as a warrior in the field than a captain on a bridge.
The loss is greater, in that he denied Christ.

I'm really enjoying Bot. It helps smooth the effort.
And @Grok has come a long ways. But it still has a long ways to go. Even Bot knows that.
Claude is still the best for coding and writing, and preserving good work already done. Hopefully Grok will get there.
