Limit When We Go to War

If we are going to send our sons and daughters to war, it should be a matter of survival as a nation, and the effort should involve sacrifice on the part of every American.

Larkin Spivey, Battlefields & Blessings, pg.274

Natural Selection?

If you think about it, natural selection does not explain why we find organisms suited to their environment. It only explains why we do not find organisms that are unsuited to their environment (i.e., because they die). It is God—not “nature”—who has given living beings the abilities they need to survive.

Dr. Jason Lisle, A Pocket Guide to Logic & Faith, pg.13

Materialistic Atheism is Illogical

The materialistic atheist can’t have the laws of logic. He believes that everything that exists is material—part of the physical world. But laws of logic are not physical. You can’t stub your toe on a law of logic. Laws of logic cannot exist in the atheist’s world, yet he uses them to try to reason. This is inconsistent. He is borrowing from the Christian worldview to argue against the Christian worldview. The atheist’s view cannot be rational because he uses things (law of logic) that cannot exist according to his profession.

Sexolatry Is Destroying Culture

For humans, the biological element is augmented with the practical, emotional, and spiritual virtues necessary to form and rear the nuclear family. That family—minor children raised to adulthood by a mother and a father—is the foundational component in forming a durable and thriving society. Each parent provides physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual attributes that, to the degree necessary, complement and reinforce the other. From this, children emerge into adulthood, form their own families, and the process continues. This is the sole purpose—repeat—sole purpose of sexuality.

But today’s secularism has dropped society into an intellectual quicksand that repudiates matters of faith and objective reality. It is fitting to define this neopaganism as “sexolatry,” with sexuality warped into a bizarre dark comedy of dysphoria and disorientation. Now it’s “hookup culture,” it’s a casual “participation sport.” The unremitting truth of male and female—something assigned immutably at conception—yields to a whole zoology of “preferred pronouns,” with a spectrum of genders absurdly more varied than a fat folder of decorator’s paint chips.

This toxic climate of deranged permissiveness has desensitized the population to a torrent of coarseness and spawned an epidemic of tragedy. Teen pregnancy. Human trafficking and sexual slavery. Public school teachers demonically pushing gender manipulation on students. Pornographic graphic novels in school libraries. Teacher-conducted “Pride” festivals. Jarring messaging from the entertainment world.

Reared in this sexual jungle and drenched with such thought, word, image, and deed, it seems unsurprising that some, even many, young people emerge, confused and depressed, into adulthood.

Why People Are Unhappy

What unhappy beings people are! They constantly waiver between false hopes and silly fears and, instead of relying on reason, they create monsters to frighten themselves with, and phantoms which lead them astray.

Montesquieu (French judge and philosopher, 1689-1755)

Military Might is A Must!

Diplomacy without military might is like music without instruments.

Frederick The Great

Lawlessness Kills Government

But if the laws are to be so trampled upon with impunity and a minority is to dictate to the majority, there is an end put at one stroke to republican government and nothing but anarchy and confusion is to be expected thereafter.

George Washington

"Transgenderism" Destroys the Military

Soldiers do not bond with people who have special pleadings, and regular soldiery experience their effectiveness waning significantly if forced to share foxholes and bivouacs.  They don't easily accommodate the morphological disparities evident in moving either way.  Soldiers don't want to favor weaker "males" who are still female in bone structure, muscle mass, and  life training.  Nor do female soldiers happily accommodate males who have softened their contours, implanted apparent mammaries, recontoured their Adam's apples, and the like.

The "Party" Demands Denial of Evidence

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. 

George Orwell, 1984

A Nation Cannot Last With Treason

A nation can survive its fools, even the ambitious, but it cannot survive treason from within for the traitor appears not to be a traitor; he rots the soul of a nation; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.

Marcus Tullius Cicero (Roman statesman, scholar, and philosopher; 106-43 BC)

Riches vs Character

Money doesn’t change people; it just exaggerates what was already there.

Police Chief Gillespie, TV show In the Heat of the Night, episode "Heart of Gold"

LEFTISTS Hate Independence From Government

 

LEFTISTs Hate the Truth Because it is Dangerous to Them

The reason postmodernists find Christians so irritating is that we keep violating the rules by speaking of our beliefs in terms of real, objective truth. This is regarded as a category mistake. … Biblical Christianity makes cognitive claims about the entire scope of reality, not only the spiritual realm but also the physical cosmos, historical events, and human nature. It is not merely our subjective experience.

A primary reason secularists are gentler in their treatment of other religions is that most seem odd and foreign, so that Americans are prone to regard them as merely ethnic and cultural customs. As a result, they pose no threat to the secularist agenda. The reason Christianity is dangerous is that a good number of Americans actually believe it, and offer its teachings on human nature, the family, the state, and so on, as a basis for civil society. Clearly, their views must be debunked as irrational superstition.

David Limbaugh, Persecution: How Liberals Are Waging War Against Christianity, pg. 337-338

Why the LEFT Hates Christians

Conservative Christians are subjected to such virulent hostility primarily because we pose a threat to the leftist, immoral agenda of the media and entertainment industries. When believers conform to the dictates of Scripture, they have the temerity to stand against abortion, euthanasia, “population control,” condom distribution, pornography, sexual license, and the tax-and-spend policies of liberal government. Above all else, religious conservatives are hated because of some of them—very few, unfortunately—are willing to oppose the gay and lesbian agenda in all its excesses, from the push to legalize same-sex “marriage” and adoption to the lowering of the age of consent, the advancement of pro-homosexual school curriculum, and the construction of “bath house” establishments.

In contrast to those who promote immorality, committed Christians invoke the name of God in advocating the sanctity of human life, the permanence of marriage, abstinence, brotherhood, and bringing up children in the fear of the admonition of the Lord. Those who take the scriptures literally stand by the side of the highway to perdition, warning travelers that dangers lie ahead and urging them to take a higher road. For this, we are despised. Jesus Himself told us we would be hated for what has been called “the offense of the cross.” Ultimately, this is what elicits such hostility from those who are opposed to our system of values.
