“I ha’ seen him cow a thousand men On the hills o’ Galilee, They whined as he walked out calm between, Wi’ his eyes like the grey o’ the sea,”

Also, Starbucks is ground zero for Ebola.
When Dr. Kent Brantly, a missionary caring for Ebola patients in Liberia, became the first known American Ebola patient, Ann Coulter called him “idiotic” and chastised him for the “Christian narcissism” of deigning to help people in “disease-ridden cesspools” rather than, say, turning “one single Hollywood power-broker to Christ,” which would apparently “have done more good for the entire world than anything he could accomplish in a century spent in Liberia.”

Thousands of years before the birth of Christ, the people of Mesopotamia mastered the first writing system, mathematics, astronomy, literature and law.
Iraq’s past, however, is threatened by the nightmare of its present.
ISIS is not only at war with the Iraqi state, it’s also at war with Iraq’s very identity — blowing up religious shrines, slaughtering and enslaving minorities such as the Yazidis, Christians and Turkmen, and executing its enemies.
A growing number of Americans want closer ties between church and state, a poll found
I guess we never learned anything from the 100 years war.
But ISIS considers that the taking of slaves and concubines remains fully justified by the Kor’an.

“One should remember that enslaving the families of the kuffar — the infidels — and taking their women as concubines is a firmly established aspect of the Shariah, or Islamic law,” the group says in an online magazine published Sunday.
The title of the article sums up the ISIS point of view: “The revival (of) slavery before the Hour,” referring to Judgment Day.
The fourth edition of the group’s English-language digital magazine called “Dabiq” said that female members of the Yazidi sect, an ethnically Kurdish minority living mostly in Iraq, may legitimately be captured and forcibly made concubines or sexual slaves.
I have on reliable advice that a mayor of an Iranian town on the Caspian recommended a means of discouraging mixed-sex swimming: Introducing sharks into the Caspian Sea. He allegedly even tried and failed. Little did he know that there are fresh-water sharks in the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freshwater_shark. Thankfully, he is not that knowledgeable.
It seems that the fact that bacon is sold in US stores proves that the US is a Christian nation. (How this works for the Chinese, who eat more pork than Americans, is not explained. In any case, the author goes on to cite Leviticus to justify the argument that homosexuality is a sin in Christianity. (Leviticus is also where the prohibition of pork is found. In any case, it’s most likely that Jesus kept kosher. It was one of the disciples who abandoned the kosher laws. See Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth by Reza Aslan.)

In a 2001 blog post under the pen name William Wallace II, Driscoll blatantly asserts his patriarchal understanding of women’s role in the world, essentially calling them “penis homes”:
The first thing to know about your penis is, that despite the way it may seem, it is not your penis. Ultimately, God created you and it is his penis. You are simply borrowing it for a while.
While His penis is on loan you must admit that it is sort of just hanging out there very lonely as if it needed a home, sort of like a man wondering the streets looking for a house to live in. Knowing that His penis would need a home, God created a woman to be your wife and when you marry her and look down you will notice that your wife is shaped differently than you and makes a very nice home.
Therefore, if you are single you must remember that your penis is homeless and needs a home. But, though you may believe your hand is shaped like a home, it is not. And, though women other than your wife may look like a home, to rest there would be breaking into another man’s home. And, if you look at a man it is quite obvious that what a homeless man does not need is another man without a home.

I have never understood how come God chose His special people several times but gave each special people a slightly different set of rules. Here’s a thought: Why didn’t God simply friend the whole world and share His (same) message with everyone?
