Fighting Fascism?

Leftists Fight Fascism By Marching Through Streets Forcing Everyone To Perform Their Special Salute

August 28th, 2020

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Leftists announced a bold new tactic to eradicate fascism from the land today: marching in lockstep through the streets and accosting anyone who doesn't chant their slogans and perform their special salute. Babylon Bee.

Pray, Pray and Keep Praying.

When Was Jesus Born?

Born BC?

It has long been recognised that the 6th Century monk, Dionysius Exiguus, calculated the birth date of Christ's birth quite badly and that Christ had to have been born BC.

Now scientists tell us that the date is likely to have been in June, 2 BC.

Historically, 4 BC looks a better bet, though.

If the older date is true, it will lengthen the time of Christ's Ministry which has previously been considered to have been about three years.

It also makes Jesus older than the 33 postulated - which makes much sense as he was otherwise rather on the young side to have been accepted by the populace as a legitimate rabbi.

Alphege on the money!

"The centre of trouble is not the turbulent appetites -- though they are troublesome enough. The centre of trouble is in the personality of man as a whole, which is self-centred and can only be wholesome and healthy if it is God-centred."

What Is Political Correctness?

Darwinism: The Religion.

Darwinism is a religion - a belief system.

Take one chihuahua, one West Highland terrier, one border collie, one rottweiler and one Irish wolfhound or Great Dane.

Fossilize and wait for several million years before sending for a passing darwinian evolutionist.

Sit back and watch how the explanations will tell you emphatically how these creatures 'evolved' one into another over vast periods of time and utterly ignoring the disregarded facts that:

a] The animals are 100% contemporary and

b] Any changes are merely within their genetic parameters.

Evolutionism is grotesquely simplistic, you see - as well as being most UNscientific.

[Under no circumstances should you include any dachsunds in your experimenting as this would be just too cruel to future evolutionists!]

Helping the terminally ill? - Tell them about Jesus.

'Terminally ill cancer patients who receive spiritual support from their medical team are, on average, found to be in a better state of being near death than those who do not, according to a recently published study.
Researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute also found that among patients relying on their religious beliefs to cope with their illness, spiritual support reduced their risk of receiving aggressive medical interventions at the end of life.
"Our findings suggest that spiritual care from the medical system has important ramifications for patients at the end of life, including helping them transition to comfort-focused care and improving their well-being near death," commented the study's senior author, Dr Tracy Balboni of Dana-Farber.
"Furthermore, they highlight the need to educate medical caregivers in being attentive to the frequent role of religion and spirituality in patients' coping with advanced illness and importance of integrating pastoral care into multidisciplinary medical teams."

Obviously! What else would we expect?

The Brexit Party and Perspectives.

The Brexit Party - I think that we need to put them into perspective - after all they are 'extremists' - we know this because the mainstream politicians have told us so!

The problem is of course, that they are called 'extreme' by the self same politicians who have:-

1} Sold our birthright to the EU for more than 40 years.
2} Allowed the feckless and workshy a totally free ride.
3} Stolen money from the people to squander wildly and called it taxation.
4} Promoted multiculturalism to destroy our sense of oneness as a society.
5} Downgraded and derided the Christian Faith.
6} Permitted criminals to take over parts of our cities.
7} Failed to protect citizens from thugs by weak-kneed sentencing.
8} Allowed a veritable flood of immigrants to what is now the most overcrowded country in Europe.
9} Allowed the total dumbing down of education.
10}"Framed mischief by statute" [Psalm 94] and permitted a bevy of immoralities to fester and grow.
11} Have undermined democracy with their 'we know what is best for you' attitudes.
12} They have created the 'nanny state' so they can have ever more control over us.
13} Failed to attack the drugs problems at source.
14} Have taken us into unwinnable foreign wars. [Labour with Conservative help]
15} Have wrecked the economy for generations as yet unborn [Labour mainly]
16} Have permitted the mass slaughter of the unborn.
17} Have promoted alien religions ahead of Christianity.
18} Have encouraged family breakdown.
19} Have encouraged and promoted illegitimacy and all the knock on social effects.
20} Have funded the irresponsible in countless spheres.
21} Have poured money into politicised quangos
22} Have encouraged an ever burgeoning bureaucratic layer.
23} Have buried businesses in unending amounts of Brussels-inspired paper and meaningless regulations.
24} Have confused liberty with licence.
25} Have lied repeatedly. ['Of course there will be a referendum!'] When it happened, so many have wanted to dismantle the result without respect for the will of the people.
25] Have made working a poor second choice for many who are trapped in the cycle of benefit dependency.

26} Have messed with nature as far as gender is concerned.

27} Have given greater rights to minorities than to the majority.

28} Have embraced political correctness to a sickening degree.

29} Have not merely accepted homosexuality but rather promoted it.

30} Have substantially reduced our freedoms in terms of both free speech and democracy.

The World Really Must Take Economic Measures Against Pakistan.

A 14-year-old Christian girl was in tears after a judge ordered her to return to the Muslim man who abducted her at gunpoint during the COVID-19 lockdown and forcibly married and converted her to Islam.

Catholic teenager Maira Shahbaz, who was abducted in April, had recently been allowed by a lower court to leave her captor’s home and stay at a women’s shelter until her case was heard by the Lahore High Court.

However, Judge Raja Muhammad Shahid Abbasi ruled this week that she must return to the home of the married man who kidnapped her, and who the judge referred to as her "husband," on the basis that she had converted to Islam, according to the U.S.-based persecution watchdog. International Christian Concern.

Progressive Pastor Reassures Congregation Judgement Day Will Be ‘Mostly Peaceful’.

August 27th, 2020

According to sources on Twitter, a local progressive pastor is reassuring her nervous parishioners after one of them accidentally got ahold of the book of Revelation. Reverend Delba Von Fritz spoke to her church after they found themselves so convicted of sin and fearful of judgment that they were considering believing in Jesus. 

"Don't worry," said Reverend Von Fritz. "Everyone gets into Heaven so you have nothing to worry about! Except for racists and homophobes. I'm guessing God makes a special exception for those people. But you are all strong voices for social justice and LGBTQ+ issues so you have nothing to fear!"

When someone brought up the frightening and gruesome imagery of the book of Revelation, Von Fritz responded "No, all that stuff is symbolic. The moon turning to blood, darkness, the Lake of Fire, those are all just metaphors for how non-violent and peaceful judgment day will be! Seriously, only racists go to hell." 

"But we're all white which means we're all automatically racist," said one parishioner.

"Oh shoot, I didn't think about that," replied Von Fritz. "Can you let me see that Bible for a minute?" The Babylon Bee.

Demands That The Nigerian Government Should Get Its Act Together.

Britain called to sanction Nigeria's government officials over Christian persecution

The UK Government is being urged to impose sanctions on Nigerian government officials "turning a blind eye" to the slaughter of Christians in the West African country.

Ayo Adedoyin, Chief Executive of PSJ UK, said that the UK Government must take action to protect Nigeria's Christian population after decades of deadly attacks.

PSJ UK, which is campaigning on behalf of Nigerian Christians, is the co-author of a new report warning that extremists may have been responsible for the deaths of up to 100,000 Christians in Nigeria over the last two decades.

The report, co-authored by ICON and the International Freedom of Religion or Belief APPG, warns that Nigeria has suffered more violent incidents and deaths than the rest of the entire West Africa region.

The violence is attributed to radical militant groups like Boko Haram and al-Qaeda, as well as radical Fulani herdsmen.

Mr Adedoyin said that Nigeria's Christians were facing a "catastrophe".

"This situation cannot be tolerated," he said.

"Tens of thousands of Christians have been murdered in Nigeria and many thousands more have been subjected to vicious assault."

The report cites the findings of a new Savanta ComRes poll which finds strong public support in the UK for tougher action.

Around half of UK adults said they would support the withholding of British foreign aid to Nigeria over the persecution of Christians, while three in five said they would support sanctions on individuals responsible for human rights abuses.

Mr Adedoyin added: "The British government must do more to support Nigerian Christians and should apply sanctions to the members of the Nigerian government that are, at best, turning a blind eye to this ongoing catastrophe." Christian Today.

ARROGANT NATIONAL TRUST BETRAYS TRUST OF THE NATION

AUGUST 27, 2020 MELANIE HERITAGE, NATIONAL TRUST, STATELY HOMES

The National Trust’s proposed “revolution” in its relationship with the public has caused justifiable outrage.

Its ten-year strategy, revealed by The Times, is to shift its emphasis from enabling the public to visit its stately homes and gardens to promoting access to the countryside. Historic houses, it says, will be “repurposed as public space in service of local audiences” to junk the “outdated mansion experience”.

The Trust declared that although it remained “committed to, and passionate about” country houses, arts and heritage, it needed to ensure that these were “meaningful and relevant for the 21st century”.

According to this mindset, stately homes aren’t meaningful or relevant because they lie outside the experience of the people the Trust believes should be visiting them but aren’t.

This is astonishingly patronising and insulting. It suggests that anyone who is “diverse” or “urban” is incapable of being interested in anything outside their own experience. It assumes them to be so shallow they can’t appreciate anything beyond their own lives and feelings. It implies they are incapable of appreciating the beauty of great architecture or art.

It also effectively denies people the opportunity to participate as equals in the national story.

The National Trust is a guardian, steward and custodian of that story. Which is why in these dismaying proposals it is betraying the trust of the nation.
