Military, Wars and International Issues
International issues (war/international relations/issues in other countries etc)
Military/Isolationism/Wars in general
I am above average on foreign policy but I have a ‘Zell Miller antiwar’ streak in me
I am anti war most of the time but I am anti war due to Lockean love of Liberty and being anti government (ie war is big gov). Basically I am anti war for the same reasons Mark Twain was anti war.
Since I am defacto anti war/not supportive of wars, I am by default against all countries on Earth going to war/me non supportive of all countries on Earth going to war . For example, after the outbreak of each war I check to see if an extremely rare and overwhelming case for me supporting that war being waged exists and if it doesn't then I keep my default anti war/not supportive position on that war. It takes more for me to support a war than for me to say that I don't condemn a war. I haven't supported a war since I supported the Iraq War in early 2003 (before changing my mind in March 2003 and being against the Iraq War)
I am very pro Military and very pro Veteran despite being anti war
I support the Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act
I am against Imperialism
I am more positive towards nationalism and military intervention than towards multicultural internationalism
I am against the Open Skies Treaty
I am Post Conservative on US Isolationism which matches journalist Matthew Sheffield’s view of US Isolationism to the tee
I am a Left Wing Human Interventionalist
I strongly don’t support Globalism and much rather prefer radical localism
I was and I still am against the Patriot Act
My views on Islamic terrorism are generally militantly moderate (though I am pro Muslim). I agree with more than a few views on Islamic terrorism from the book Mediations of a Militant Moderate https://books.google.com/books?id=VMZHuyK5NTsC&lpg=PP1&pg=PA1#v=onepage&q&f=false
I do not agree with Sully's view that Donald Trump showed 'utter and vulgar disrespect and contempt' for US troops past and present. Trump treated the US military mostly decent to good as President. The Atlantic's report that Donald Trump had called WWI heroes 'suckers' and 'losers' is FAKE NEWS and NOT TRUE AT ALL. Sully has to admit that Barack Obama was either the same, not much better or worse as President for our military than Donald Trump and that Jesse Ventura's comments about our military is as bad or worse than anything that Donald Trump ever said about them as President.
World
I retroactively support an alternate reality Forth Position version of the fictional-mythological Second French Empire-Marxist Communist Party of the Soviet Union conjunction who existed in on alternate reality Earth in the early to early mid 20th century
I-P
I am pro Israel and pro co-exist (I have at least a little Jewish ancestry), and I see leftist hatred toward Israel, Israelites, Zionism and similar targets as a silver lining (even though I abhor them for their hatred toward us), in that it proves they are hypocrites and exposes their hatred to people who don't know they are bigots. I am somewhere between Hillary Clinton and Mike Pence on the Israel-Palestinian conflict in general with a twist.
I support Anti BDS laws since I hate the BDS movement
I wouldn't mind seeing Israel expanded to become Greater Israel and having an unrecognized Palestinian state (like how the Judean provisional government from AD 66-68 and the Free Lebanon state from 1979-1984 were unrecognized states) located somewhere within Greater Israel
I believe that Benjamin Netanayahu was too tough on Palestine and the Palestinians at times
I support a 2 state solution for Israel-Palestine that is based on Donald Trump's peace plan map. However, I believe that the peace plan should have the Allied Bedouin Tribes be given the land that is marked for the Palestinians in that plan and thus that Palestinian state should instead be an Allied Bedouin Tribe state. Palestinians can still live in this Allied Bedouin Tribe state but they would be a Dependent territory and Associated State of this Allied Bedouin Tribe state in the same way that the Cook Islands and Niue are Dependent territories and Associated States of New Zealand. The Palestinians would also be given a legal clause which allows them to secede from the Allied Bedouin Tribe state like how the Old South states seceded from the United States in 1861 to form the CSA. However in doing they would risk a Civil War similar to the US Civil War.
As late as 1918, leaders of Arab countries, including Emir Feisal (later King of Syria) supported aspirations to create a state for Israel. But extreme Arab militant groups like the Mufti soon replaced the moderates and diplomacy gave way to terror.
Moreover, the Jews were the original Palestinians so you can say I am pro 'original Palestine' (Israelis/Jews). Palestinians of today have a rich and great history. They are also descended from Ishmael ,Abraham's other son and hold a key place in Judeao Christian history. Some of the Palestinians ancestors are the Phillistines, Jordnians, Syrians etc.
Deep down or systematically, I am sort of a fan Israel's Zionism. Notwithstanding, while I have no problem with Zionism or Republicans or Democrats embracing Zionism, I feel sometimes both parties go a bit too far with their support or love for Zionism and we need to step back a little from that as to not get carried away.
It would have been cool if in BC times, God created hundreds of hypothetical what if religions to be his people (covering everyone on Earth) instead of just the Jewish religion and then God gave each of those hypothetical what if religions their own homelands. It would further be cooler if in the late 1940s and early 1950s, instead of just creating Israel for the Jews, the UN etc also created hundreds of these hypothetical what if religious homelands for billions of people on Earth who belong to (and are descended from) each of those hypothetical what if religions to live in.
I support Israel's settlements in the West Bank and Gaza. I support Jewish settlers in the West Bank as they are mostly peaceful and some times when they use violence or aggression against the Palestinians it is in self defense. I support the West bank enclaves and the enclave laws
I approve of the way that Israel and Israeli government treats Palestinians (including via labor, marriage laws, IDs). I support Israel's road system, land access and resources, checkpoints and West Bank barrier
There is nothing wrong with the infrastructures in Israel-Palestine. Different cultures mean different type of buildings. It's a myth to think the infrastructure differences is something devious
Israel treats Palestinians better than any Middle East country treats it minorities
Palestinians use their citizens as shields for their rockets ,Israel uses rockets as shields for their citizens.
More links, though I am open minded to be open hearted to the counter viewpoints in these links if someone can debate me on them like how Ronald Reagan debated Billy Graham in the 1950s:

(dead link) Israel Is The Victim And The Arabs Are The Indefensible Aggressors In the Middle East (Discover the Networks)
I support the IDF the vast majority of the time (when I don't temporarily oscillate to half heartingly toxicly sympathizing with the Palestinians as I state below) and I realize because war is hell that at least somewhat excuses some of their more brutal actions (which is also why I am able to toxicly sympathize, albeit half heartingly with the Palestinians a temporary oscillations every now and then)
Since 2003 I've been known to temporarily oscillate every now and then to being half heartingly toxicly sympathetic to the Palestinians but each time I do I see things which have me go right back to being as Pro Israel as I always am on that issue
I believe that the US embassy should move to Ancient biblical city of Bethel instead of being in Jerusalem. https://www.bibleplaces.com/bethel/
I strongly believe that Rashida Tlaib should not have given in to far left anti Israel bullies and she should have went to Israel/Palestine as she planned.
I support the National Alliance (Itay-Israel alliance led by Gianfranco Fini)
I support the Mossad. I especially like how the Mossad went to places like South America, then covertly kidnapped, captured and brought to Israel for justice those former NDSAP fascists in the 1960s etc
China/Russia
My views on China are generally militantly moderate and match views on China from the book Mediations of a militant Moderate https://books.google.com/books?id=VMZHuyK5NTsC&lpg=PP1&pg=PA1#v=onepage&q&f=false
The 2022 Winter Olympics being played on schedule while the 2020 Summer Olympics weren't played on schedule seems hypocritical. I am against boycottting sporting events and I would not have encouraged anyone to boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics but at the same time I am fine with people boycotting the 2022 Winter Olympics.
China is very wrong for their 1 2 3 child policies, for employing Communism, and for being anti Christian. Moreover they are wrong for propping up Mao Zedong who was a fascist and a dictator (dictator of the proclyte at best) who commited senseless murders on innocent victims. He gets a D---- grade at BEST and mostly because of what he did at the start of his run as leader of China. I am also against China's social credit system.
I am apolitical on China's pandemic laws etc.
I condemn China for getting involved in the US 2020 racial unrest situations. I also strongly condemn China for trying to make our children in this country woke through marxist propaganda
Whether China did genocide to Uyghurs or not is moot (but it was a genocide), China still committed human rights violations against them and thus they are very wrong to treat the Uyghurs the way they did.
The US necons like George W Bush , Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Barack Obama etc should shoulder some of the blame for inspiring China's war on 'terror' against the Uyghurs since George W Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld started the war on 'terror' and Barack Obama continued it into the 2010s.
Moreover a few of the Uyghurs were fighting for extremist organizations in Syria so China overreacted majorly because of that. Never the less, none of the above things are excuses for China to commit genocide and abuse. China should be totally condemned. China should have use anti terrorism methods that Donald Trump used as President, to combat the perceived Uyghur terrorism.
China is wrong to use forced labor they should set their forced laborers free and pay them, as I write below.
I believe China should use a 'Dany from Game of Thrones type' of Encomienda system (an Encomienda system was used by Christopher Columbus and his crew used in the Caribbean on natives during his 7 year rule but this version would be progressive) on laborers who do the jobs that current forced laborers do in China.
This Dany from Game of Thrones type of Encomienda system would be the same exact type of Encomienda system that Dany from Game of Thrones would approve of China using on laborers. Since she is a fair ruler, the laborers would thus be paid and treated fairly and China's economy would improve. China and the CCP would see this as so unique they'd agree to it even though it would be Pro laborer and anti forced laborer.
I believe sanctioning China privately and indirectly is the way to go. I have blind faith that China will continue to get better as a country like they always have. But private and indirect sanctioning are a good way to keep guiding China in that direction.
I support Hong Kong in their dispute with China. But I empathize with China in that dispute despite me being on Hong Kong's side
I am apolitical on the China-Taiwan dispute
I was against the Nuclear Freeze in the 1980s and early 1990s only because I knew that the US having Nuclear weapons was to prevent the Soviet Union from using their Nuclear weapons. To this day I am still against a Nuclear Freeze due to countries like Russia, Iran and North Korea having Nuclear weapons. I want a world free of Nuclear Weapons but I will not support a Nuclear Freeze until countries like Russia, Iran and North Korea also agree to give up their Nuclear Weapons too. No one wants a Nuclear war.
The Soviet Union was a Socialist country from the 1920s until 1991 and anyone who says otherwise is a fool
I retroactively support the Jewish people supporting moderate changes within the Russian Empire in the early 20th century since Jews were treated horribly in the Russian Empire for decades or even centuries
I retroactively sympathize with but pragmatically lean not support for the Jewish people of the early 20th century supporting revolutionary changes within the Russian Empire in the early 20th century.
I condemn the innocent deaths in the October Revolution (though all of those innocent victims are in heave now) but I basically won't condemn the October Revolution itself since the October Revolution created the USSR, and the USSR caused the Red Scare in the US.
If the October Revolution never happened, there would have been no Red Scare in the US and the US would have been socialist or even communist throughout the 20th century and even today (which would have been and would be horrible in every possible way since I am an anti communist, and a big part of my fiscal views are on the Capitalism spectrum). So hence my retroactive non condemnation of the October Revolution
Arthur Rosenberg and Ethel Rosenberg were TRAITORS and they should have spent many decades in prison for their treason instead of being put to death. Their evil treason caused countless deaths in Korea and they were disgusting commie terrorists. They sold out to our enemies and they are a disgrace to the US.
While I don't support Russia's invasion of Ukraine, I do not condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine either . I prefer a more isolationist approach. If the situations were reversed, and Ukraine did to Russia what Russia did to Ukraine, I would also say “While I don’t support Ukraine’s invasion of Russia, I do not condemn Ukraine’s invasion of Russia either, I prefer a more isolationist approach”.
The US and Europe should try to de escalate the Russia-Ukraine crisis instead of inflaming it
The fact that the Russia-Ukraine conflict is a partisan political issue or even a political issue itself is a sad testement to our broken political system
I was and I am still against Ukraine joining NATO
In a absolute world, Crimea would be part of Russia not Ukraine. As it is now, Crimea should have the same position with Russia and Ukraine that is between the position that Crimea had with Ukraine and Russia from 1918-1922 and a separate equal Multination state structure between Crimea and Russia and Crimea and Ukraine (Crimea-Russia, Crimea-Ukraine but without a Multination state structure between Russia and Ukraine) that Austria and Hungary had with each other from 1867-1918 when they were Austria-Hungary
Ukraine deserves criticism for not developing Donbas and leaving it open to Russia and other forces
I am against the Maidan Coup which was an illegal act which removed a legit elected head of state
I oscillate between being apolitical on whether the People's Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk should become (and be recognized as) as part of Russia , me wanting the People's Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk to stay as part of Ukraine but have the same relationship with Russia that France had with Germany from 1940-1944 under Vichy rule and me wanting the People's Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk to be a client state to Russia in the same way that Israel was a client state to the Roman Republican during the The Herodian Kingdom of Judea time period and the Herodian Tetrarchy of Judea time period
In any case, The People's Republic of Donetsk and Lugansk (if its controlled by Ukraine) should have a relationship with Russia that is between the relationship those areas had as part of Ukraine with Russia under Viktor Yanukovych and just short of the relationship that South Ossetia currently has with Russia
I am against Russia being sanctioned by the US. I can live with penalties against Russia from the US that are just short of sanctions by we need to be AmericaFirst and worry about our own country.
I hope the US and European sanctions and some penalties against Russia stay forever. Not because of the war in Ukraine but because it would be hypocritical to make such sanctions and some such penalties against them and then end those sanctions and some of those penalties at a later time and pretend everything is normal. I don't agree with the sanctions and penalties but since they are made most of them should stick.
I am 100 percent against the US sending troops to go to war with Russia under any circumstance barring a direct hit from Russia on our soil. I am also against the US etc setting up a No Fly Zone
I am fully against companies (like Big Tech) suspending their products and services to Russia. Russian citizens are being wrongly and punitively penalized because of their government. I call for a full boycott of every company who engages in these acts They never did this to Muslims in countries where ISIS or Al Qaeda are from, yet they do it with Russia? Hypocrite much. History will condemn Google, Microsoft, Sony for their actions with Russia. It goes against human decency, will only make Russians hate those companies and won't do anything. Hurting innocent people through refusing them service to force them to have the view you want is fascist and evil
I believe that the we should hack the bank accounts of Russian Olyriachs and force them to be bankrupt for the rest of their lives. Not because of Russia's war with Ukraine and not for any political reason but simply because they are too rich and nobody should have that much money. If we can force them into bankruptcy we can have a slow trickle effect which leads to less wealth hoarding by filthy rich trolls. No more yachts for them ,no more vacations for them, force them to live like the rest of us. They are easy and acceptable targets
It is hypocritical and wrong to ban innocent Russians from entering other countries .Liberals cried over a Muslim travel ban by Donald Trump during the reign of ISIS yet they applaud this? Hypocrite much. I believe banning innocent Russians from going to other countries because of Russia going to war with Ukraine is wrong, senseless and fascist and is just as bad as Donald Trump's Muslim travel ban in 2017. I am fully against the Russia flight ban by the US and Europe. It is draconian, fascist and evil. It's also a violation of freedom of movement. I hope all Russians permanelty boycott the US and all countries that banned flights to and from Russia.
Some Russians have been unfairly fired due to their place of origin by fascist Russophobes. Their firings are a violation of Employement Acts ,since they were singled out due to their place of origin. These Russians being unfairly fired is akin to McCarthysim or what the US did to Japanese Americans right after Pearl Harbor. Freedom of speech means telling people what they don't want to hear. We must end extreme cancel culture and modern day McCarthyism
I am against Anna Nebretko getting fired by the Metropolitian Opera House. There was no reason to fire her and Peter Gelb should be fired on the spot for what he did.
I am against the Bolshoi Ballet being fired. They did nothing wrong and they were unfairly fired for no reason.
The Steele Dosier was false
Middle East/North Africa/Central Asia
Muslim world in general
Islam
Islam is not a bad religion, it's not Judeo Christianity but it shares a link to Judeo Christianity (Abraham). If Muslims stay true to Islam, maybe they will go to heaven the same way that the Native Americans who lived moral lives and died before Christopher Columbus came to the Americas went to heaven.
Islam has good and bad like any other religion. Not all criticism of Islam is Islamaphobic and some criticism of Islam is genuine and constructive. Some sects of Islam do treat women and LGBTQ people unfairly which is wrong. People should avoid criticizing things in Islam that they don't understand because if they don't avoid doing that, they'll look ignorant like how Donald Trump looked ignorant in 2016 for his criticism of Ghazala Khan. People should only criticize Islam in a genuine, constructive way that is free of Islamaphobia.
I believe that some of Mohammad Tawhid's criticism of Islam is accurate, constructive and valid. Tawhid is a somewhat good, constructive critic of Islam.
This article echos my feelings about the Clock boy incident from 2015: https://web.archive.org/web/20190205021737/https://dailycaller.com/2015/09/28/on-ahmeds-clock-president-obama-once-again-spoke-too-soon/
I am against Donald Trump's Muslim travel ban
It is wrong that Muslims in fringe sects of Islam in rare places persecute gays . That is wrong and gays should be as free from abuse by fringe sects of Islam in rare places in Muslim countries as they are here. I am fine with gay marriage being banned in Muslim countries, but gays should not be abused in any way shape or form in Muslim countries or anywhere.
I am against France and other countries banning Muslims women from wearing Burkinis and Burqas. I support Muslim women wearing Burkinis and Burqas. I am also against Iran forcing Muslim women to wear Burqas. Freedom of expression means freedom for Muslim women to wear or not wear what they want. First they came for the Muslims ..then they will come for us Christians and ban us from wearing Christian symbols in public.
Due to the US government and some far left people smearing and treating all Donald Trump supporters (instead of just the fringe ones) as domestic terrorists and violent extremists, I empathize even more with Muslims due to the similarly harsh smearing and treatment that they have similarly gotten by the US government and extremists on the other side of the isle since 9/11 (especially after 9/11 and during the age of ISIS). I have seen some far left people imply or dog whistle that all Trump supporters are domestic terrorists or violent extremists (instead of labeling and going after just the fringe part of the MAGA movement as domestic terrorists) When I was a liberal, I always defended Muslims when they were attacked by neocons since I emphasized with them. Now based on what I wrote above, I will emphasize even more with Muslims.
I don't believe the October 31 2018 truck attack in NYC or the Swedish truck attack in 2017 were Islamic terrorism. I am not even that sure that the 2016 Nice lorre attacks was Islamic terrorism (or at least I am not that sure if Islamic terrorism was the primary motive of the attacks). Saying that every time a Muslim commits mass murder is Islamic terrorism is bigoted, ignorant, naive and offensive. However, on the flip side, a few attacks by Muslims that are not labele as Islamic terrorismare technically Islamic terrorism (the Fort Hood shooting for example). But there are more times Muslims committing crimes are falsely accused of Islamic terrorism than there are times when Muslims do commit Islamic terrorism and said attacks are not labeled as Islamic terrorism.
I am tempted to say that there are more atheists in Al Qaeda, ISIS, Abu Nidal, Hezbollah than there are Muslims. If they were true Muslims, they would be peaceful since Islam is a religion of peace. Al Qaeda and ISIS are terrorists not militants
Christians who are killed in the Middle East by ISIS should be labeled as Christians and not worshippers
Iran/Syria/Libya/Iraq/Afghanistan
I refuse to criticize Donald Trump for his targeted killing of Qasem Soleimani. Ideally it would have been better if he diplomatically captured Soleimani and put him in one of Andrew Cuomo’s nursing homes for at least a few years, but he is a terrorist. I am not enthused about the killing and it is the reason why I hate war and countries being big brother to other countries but it was neccessary. Trump is a victim of neocon warmonger haggling so he couldn’t help himself and not kill Qasem Soleimani (which obviously would have been better)
I support legislation, S. 759 which prohibits the use of funds for military operations in Iran without the prior approval of Congress.
I fully support Donald Trump withdrawing the US from Syria in 2019 and I applaud him for it. The situation in Syria was “Beirut on steroids,” . The US should never get involved in a five sided argument
I was and still am against the Libya War (the one under Barack Obama) .The Libyan war is also bad because it was not authorized by Congress
I am a skeptic of the Arab spring
I was and still am against the Iraq War (I was for it until late March 2003 then I became permanently against it). GWB made major strategic blunders with the Iraq War
However, I empathize with the view that the Iraq War was a justifiable war (ymmv). I also believe that some anti Iraq war people went too far in opposing the Iraq War. I am also mixed on repealing the 2002 Iraq War resolution. All ‘War is Hell’
I support the Iraq War troop surge by George W Bush in 2007. It was a smart strategy and helped turn the war around for us.
Chris Kyle was a war hero and his movie was not offensive at all
I am glad that the UN sanctioned Iraq in the 1990s, Iraq deserved those sanctions.
The Gulf War was a justifiable war (which doesn't mean I support it) but I am toxically understanding and sensitive to anti Gulf War peoples oppositions to that war
I supported the Afghanistan War but we should have pulled out of Afghanistan in 2009 or in 2012
Joe Biden botched the Afghanistan pullout in 2021 and he should be criticized for that. But I could care less about something that has no effect on me like a botched pullout
Europe
I support Podemos’s leaders being absorbed into the capitalist establishment and being friendly with the King of Spain
I stand up for the tradition of the Spanish republic who was defeated in the 1936-1939 civil war
I defend the regime of 1978 ‘bourgeois’ Spanish Constitution on which this regime was established in the same way that Podemos does
I retroactively support the Red Army Faction (WG 1970s 1980s)
I support the Conservative Revolution (Germany 1920s)
Asia conflict issues.
I do not condemn the 2021 coup de tat in Myanmar ,its none of my business
I fully support the way that Donald Trump handled North Korea
I would have been against the Vietnam War if I was alive back then after initially supporting it (though I am against some far left parts of the anti war movement and against the hate that the veterans got from anti war people). I have been against the Vietnam War my whole life. I am against the nature of John Kerry’s opposition to the Vietnam War
I am disgusted with some of George Mcgovern’s platforms and the drug , anti solider/military and commune nature of the 1960s counterculture along with minor critiques of that counterculture in other areas
I don't believe that Ronald Reagan did enough to help Vietnam POWs/MIAs during his presidency and I support Ross Perot helping Vietnam POWs/MIAs in the 1970s and 1980s
I am against the US going to war with the Philippines in the Philippine-American War since it was imperialism etc.
Africa
I am apolitical to lean abstain-present on President Ronald Reagan vetoing the UN economic sanctions against South Africa for apartheid . When I heard about Reagan vetoing those UN economic sanctions against South Africa as a kid, I was non hostile to Reagan vetoing those UN economic sanctions because I always viewed Ronald Reagan in a positive light in the 1980s. But now I am apolitical to lean abstain-present on him vetoing the UN economic sanctions against South Africa for Apartheid
Americas conflicts
I support Panama canal being built
I don't care about Confederate statues, monuments, glorification or flags. The CW ended almost a century and a half ago and I live in the present and deal with things that have to do with the present.
I am against the abuse and hatred that the Copperheads got during the Civil War. I can't condemn the Copperheads for being anti war because I am also anti war just like they are so I would be a hypocrite if I criticized them for their anti war stance. I retroactively support their right to protest and I sort of pity them.
I enjoy the political messages (ie morals of the story) of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
I agree with the sentiment expressed in this article from the Federalist about the Northerners of the 19th century and toward the Old South and Confederacy
I between involuntarily pity and somewhat condone Jim Webb and his views on the CSA since I am not his parent and I cannot force him to want to go back in time to destroy the CSA in 1861
I support sanctions as opposed to embargo against Cuba but a specific type that is viewed good on both sides (but mostly on the neocon side or maybe the other side). I support the Cuban 2021 protesters
I am neutral on whether the US should have went to war with Spain in the Spanish-American War
Xtians
Well it certainly wouldn't hurt for people to always follow the Two Commandments of Matthew-22-34-40
High ranking Jewish authorities (ie Sadducees and Pharisees) conspired with non Jewish leaders to put Jesus to death. They were jealous of Jesus, and saw him as a threat (Jesus constantly called out the Sadducees and Pharisees for their hypocrisy and evil ways during his ministry).
An unruly mob of people (the vast vast majority of whom were Jewish), in Jerusalem called out for the Romans to crucify and kill Jesus. In Matthew 27:25, Pontius Pilate washed his hands of Jesus's blood and those mob of people (the vast vast majority of whom were Jewish) who had called for Jesus to be crucified, told Pilate "His blood be on us and our children! In the Gospel of John (John 5:18, John 7:1, John 8:37) John shows that Jews wanting to kill Jesus throughout his ministry . Paul, who was himself a Jew, wrote similar things about Jews relationship with Jesus. Paul persuected Christians when he was still Jewish (1 Thess 2:14-15, Phil 3:5-6)
It doesn't matter because Jesus's death was predestined by God as a plan to save humanity. If Jesus wasn't crucified and killed, no Christians would be saved so the Jewish peoples' role in Jesus death saved humanity, because if he didn't get crucifed and killed, none of us would be able to have eternal life. Jesus gave his life willingly as a sacrifice for sin (Mark 10:45, John 18:11). It was Christians' sins that was the most directly responsible for the death of Jesus (Romans 5:8-9, 1 Timothy 1:15) Jesus rose from the dead 3 days later anyway and rose to heaven on his own free will.
Jesus was white, Mary was white and we should not get rid any images, statues, paintings, art etc of a white Jesus, a white Mary or white biblical people. But I feel even more strongly that this shouldn’t have even been a political issue than I do about my view on it.
A lot of Christians (ie Russian orthodox Christians) , Jewish people, Muslims etc are being perscutted by their faith due to freedom from religion acts by our government which takes our right to practice our religion in public away. Our country was founded on biblical principals, and we need to fight against anti Christian Atheists and agonists and their allies so we can go back to being a JudeoAbrahamaniacChristian nation.
From bible “But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life.”
From bible “ The Holy Spirit dwells in the hearts of true believers, the curtain was torn, the lamb of God was sacrificed for all mankind and rose again. That’s worth celebrating.”
I want the Tridentine Mass (1962 Roman Missal) to continue to be celebrated just like it has been celebrated for the last 15 years. I support Pope Benedict's Summorum Pontificum
I'd be very open to the idea of the Tridentine Mass (1962 Roman Missal) being the ordinary form and the Tridentine Mass (1955-1961 form of the liturgy or 1940s-1950 form of the liturgy ) being the Extraordinary form
I used to go the Knights of Columbus as a child and teenager a few times a year. The Knights of Columbus is a great organization.
