A Muslim mob stoned and then set on fire a mentally ill woman who burned a Quran.
An angry mob stoned and beat a woman before hurling her onto a riverbed and setting her body alight in the Afghan capital after she allegedly burned copies of the Quran, officials and eyewitnesses told NBC News.
We should probably be thinking about ways of quarantining those subhumans instead of trying to drag them into the 21st-century.
Who knew? According to no less than Tony Perkins, separation of church and state leads to sex trafficking!
Perkins responded to the caller by lamenting that the separation of church and state has contributed to sex trafficking in America.
“It’s shocking that we could treat another human being in this way, absolutely shocking, but it’s a reflection of the moral condition of our country and society as a whole. Not just our country, it’s happening everywhere,” he said. “If you think — you know when people say, ‘oh things aren’t that bad, we don’t need religion, we don’t need God,’ when you take God, the creator, out of the equation, you kick the Ten Commandments out, you remove prayer, the Bible, you remove all of that from the public square and it’s quarantined to churches for an hour or two a week, this is what you get.”
I wonder if Perkins knows the sad story of the Midianite genocide and how the virgin women, exclusively, were pressed into marriage after all the men and children had been killed (rather as ISIS does today, Numbers 31:7-18)?
Book Two: A Criticism of the Highest Values That Have Prevailed Hitherto
I: Criticism of Religion§249 What is it I protest against? That people should regard this paltry and peaceful mediocrity, this spiritual equilibrium which knows nothing of the fine impulses of great accumulations of strength, as something high, or possibly as the standard of all things. Bacon of Verulam says: Infimarum virtutum apud vulgus laus est, mediarum admiratio supremarum sensus nullus. Christianity as a religion, however, belongs to the vulgar: it has no feeling for the highest kind of virtue.
“Praise the virtues of the lowest among the masses, the mean of the highest sense no surprise.”
A Catholic church in San Francisco ain’t puttin’ up with any of those unsightly homeless people hanging around.
The cathedral, at Geary and Gough, is the home church of the Archbishop. There are four tall side doors, with sheltered alcoves, that attract homeless people at night.
“They actually have signs in there that say, ‘No Trespassing,’” said a homeless man named Robert. But there are no signs warning the homeless about what happens in these doorways, at various times, all through the night. Water pours from a hole in the ceiling, about 30 feet above, drenching the alcove and anyone in it.
The shower ran for about 75 seconds, every 30 to 60 minutes …
I attended a high school in downtown Detroit and, more than once, stepped over a homeless person sleeping in the doorway; I don’t really blame the archdiocese for not wanting them around: the smell, the appearance, the disquieting unpredictability. But I’m not in the business of telling my customers to love-love-love and comfort the afflicted, either — and making certain they don’t encounter them makes the teaching just a feel-good urging rather than …
Oh. Never mind.
… to learn that Gina Miller is some kind of upset about the decision of the Presbyterian Church USA to conduct same-sex weddings?
With this latest choice, the Presbyterian USA group has further rejected the Word of God as its foundation, and instead has embraced the evil destruction of marriage. They are also apparently ignoring the tyranny against the freedoms of their fellow Americans that the radical homosexual movement (with its same-sex “marriage” crusade) represents.
This group has rejected Christ in firmly rejecting His clear teachings in the Bible – the whole of which is His Word. The leaders of Presbyterian USA have no business calling it a Christian organization.
Because r-e-e-e-a-l Christians think exactly like Gina Miller, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Does the loony Right ever have a thought that isn’t simply an ill-considered and -applied cliché? There is no evidence of it in this column.
The evil destruction of marriage? How? Same-sex couples have been among us throughout all of (recorded) human history — even the authors of the Bible knew of them. How is a straight couple’s marriage ‘destroyed’ by acknowledging that, and allowing same-sex couples to spend their Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness as they think best?
Do healthy marriages rely upon being able to harass same-sex couples? Funny … that’s not in the Bible, and if you ask a Southern Baptist they’ll tell you that the secret of a good marriage is not allowing your wedding vows to interfere with slavish submission to the Invisible Wizard. Nowhere in the Bible, nowhere, does it say that healthy marriages are not possible without gay people to flog and berate; it isn’t there.
And just how — exactly, please — is the religious freedom of anybody threatened? You may still believe whatever you believe; you may still dress-up and go to church or temple or mosque; you may still tithe; you may still watch Pat Robertson on television; you may still forbid gays to enter your home or church; you may still destroy your child’s mind with primitive metaphysics and by training it to hostility to reason; you may still humiliate yourself by going around insisting that the Bible is inerrant and God-breathed.
Why do the Pious folk find it so onerous to be expected, at least in public, to treat gay people with ordinary human decency?
