The thing that is so surprising about this is not the fact that the NYT found that the happiest wives in America are religious conservatives but that the New York Times actually reported on this at all. As far as their actual findings go, I say they make an awful lot of sense.
 
Researchers W. Bradford Wilcox, Jason S. Carroll and Laurie DeRose wrote that “Fully 73 percent of wives who hold conservative gender values and attend religious services regularly with their husbands have high-quality marriages.”
 
“When it comes to relationship quality, there is a J-curve in women’s marital happiness, with women on the left and the right enjoying higher quality marriages than those in the middle – but especially wives on the right,” read the report.
 
Yes, they found that following the 73% of religious conservative women who are happy with their marriages are their political counterparts: religious progressive wives. Basically, the categories are conservative women who are religious (Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc.); conservative women who are not religious; progressive women who are religious (which is kind of an oxymoron); and progressive women who are utterly secular.
 
The report finds that married couples who are in the middle, both in terms of religion and political ideology, are less likely to experience a high-quality marriage:
 
“We suspect that part of their relative unhappiness, compared with religiously conservative women, is that they don’t enjoy the social, emotional and practical support for family life provided by a church, mosque or synagogue. We also suspect that these groups are less likely to have husbands who have made the transition to the ‘new father’ ideal that’s gained currency in modern America – and they’re not happy with their partners’ disengagement.”
 
While 73% of religious conservative women are happy in their marriages, they are followed by religious progressive wives (60%), secular liberal wives (55%) and then comes the considerable minority of secular, non-political wives (33%).
 
The report says that the central reason for religious conservative and progressive wives’ happiness was devoted husbands and fathers:
 
“In listening to the happiest secular progressive wives and their religiously conservative counterparts, we noticed something they share in common: devoted family men. Both feminism and faith give family men a clear code: They are supposed to play a big role in their kids’ lives. Devoted dads are de rigueur in these two communities. And it shows. Both culturally progressive and religiously conservative fathers report high levels of paternal engagement.”
 
This one, I find interesting, and I think it makes a lot of sense. Despite the differences in political ideology, both feminist men and religious men have their own reasons to spend time with their kids. For feminist men, the reason is their belief that they ought to be perfectly equal to their wives, and that includes raising their children equally. For religious men (I will largely be speaking for Christian men, as I am not all that certain about how Muslim or Jewish families would interact, more so Muslim ones), the reason is that Scripture tells us we ought to be a big part of our children’s lives.
 
There are many places in the Bible where we are taught to teach our children, both in the Old and the New Testaments. Proverbs 22:6 says: “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
 
Ephesians 6:4 says: “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”
 
One of the most memorable verses and moments for this type of situation comes in the Book of Deuteronomy, in the 6th Chapter. Shortly after Moses delivered the 10 Commandments to the Jewish people, he said in Deuteronomy 6:6-7: “And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk away, and when you lie down, and when you rise.”
 
So God commands us to teach our children the ways of the Lord, the Word of God, and to raise them right. As a result, a good, Christian husband and father will spend time with his children, which in turn makes their wives very happy. And as they say, a happy wife is a happy life.
 
But returning to the actual report, I think the biggest reason for such happiness is not necessarily because of the work the husbands do in the marriage when it comes to raising the children (though that plays a big factor), but because both religious conservative and religious progressive women set some sort of path, or purpose, within the marriage.
 
Matt Walsh from The Daily Wire puts it this way: “The secular understanding of marriage is that it’s a union between two people who love each other…” and he poses fair questions surrounding that belief such as “what happens when that love is no longer there?” and more specifically “why do you need marriage for love?”
 
Back when the issue of gay marriage was at the forefront of the political world, one of the arguments often posed is that we should “let people who love each other get married to show that love”. But the problem here is that marriage is not about a union of two people who love each other (and I’m hard-pressed to believe people aren’t conflating lust with love in this scenario). Marriage is a holy union (why it’s called “holy matrimony”) in the eyes of the Lord. That is where marriage comes from, after all. A marriage certificate isn’t what tells someone they are married (legally, yes, but not necessarily in the eyes of the Lord). A union that is acceptable in the eyes of the Lord is a marriage.
 
For example, look at Genesis 24:67, after Rebekah was taken to Isaac by Abraham’s servant: “Then Isaac brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother and took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her…”
 
It mentions that Isaac loved Rebekah, and I have no doubt that he did, but they literally just met and she became his wife because the Lord found it to be not only an acceptable marriage but entirely ordained as well. She was supposed to be Isaac’s wife that she might give birth to Esau and Jacob. I can assure you they did not receive a marriage certificate to make it official and their marriage was not simply a union of two people who loved each other.
 
Returning to Matt Walsh’s point, he says that “Religion grants a higher purpose to marriage. Religious people know that their vows have been consecrated by God; that they are now taking part in something bigger that themselves.”
 
And it’s that last part where we can also find another similarity between a religious conservative married couple and a progressive one. Both couples believe they are taking part in something bigger than themselves. To the religious conservative couple, that is holy matrimony in the eyes of the Creator and sovereign King of the universe. To the progressive couple, that is the union of two like-minded people who wish to be part of a larger global community (supposedly for good).
 
But one can still notice the considerable gap between religious progressive wives and religious conservative wives. A 13-point difference is hard to ignore. And while this comes as no honest surprise to me, there were plenty of people on social media who refused to accept this.
 
For example, one Twitter user replied to the NYT’s tweet by saying: “I know Christians from having been in the evangelical church for 20 awful years of my life. Several different ones, different denominations. But all the same. Full of hate. Full of fear. Pretending everything is okay for fear that being ungrateful will make them lose everything.”
 
While I am not sure I would count myself as an “evangelical” (though I do like Billy and Franklin Graham), they are Christians all the same and this really tries to speak for Christians as a whole, but it only shows this man’s own hatred. It is unfortunate that after 20 years of going to church he did not receive the Holy Spirit at any point (granted, some churches do suck so it depends on the pastor and the congregation, but still), otherwise he would understand that there is nothing but love to be had with Jesus Christ and the only fear Christians have is the fear of the Lord. But unlike what many think, it is not an unhealthy fear, but rather, a healthy one.
 
Similar to how you respect and fear your parents (especially the punishments you would receive upon doing something bad), we Christians hold nothing but respect for our Father and fear His Wrath, but know we would not receive it, and be spared, by receiving His Son, Jesus Christ, as our Lord and Savior. His Wrath only falls on unrepentant sinners, not on the repentant ones. What fear Christians have is not the same type of fear people in Venezuela or North Korea or Russia have, where they feel like they are under constant threat by an evil dictator who will punish them for the most ridiculous of reasons. God is Just, Man is not.
 
This is something Christians understand and find happiness and joy as a result. If people pretend things are okay when they are not, it is not out of “fear that being ungrateful will make them lose everything.” What will make people lose everything would be turning away from God, as this man has done.
 
Another Twitter user said: “This is hilarious. They all asked their spouses if it was ok to answer the survey in the first place. Then they made it a dinner table conversation to make sure they answered the questions correctly. I know evangelicals. Women do not have separate lives.”
 
Someone is rather salty that they are not as happy as religious conservative wives are. First, that’s rather insulting to the wives, isn’t it? The idea that religious wives are essentially slaves to their husbands is ridiculous (well, outside of Islam, at least). And as far as “separate lives” goes, I take that to mean separate lives away from their husbands and family, to which I would say: does a career make a woman happy? Happier than a happy marriage and family?
 
I can assure you the women that say their careers make them happy largely do not have families of their own. And what’s more, 66% of divorced couples in the U.S. do not have children, according to Smart Marriages. So children also bring about some unique happiness to wives. So they might not have “separate lives”, but the lives they do have are far better than many others’.
 
When a wife has a devoted husband, has children of her own and they are engaged in a marriage that is centered around God, the wife will tend to be considerably happier than people who are not in such relationships. As you can see, many people hate that and consider that to be fake news, but it makes complete and total sense to me.
 
When your life is focused on God, you tend to be happier than someone who is not focused on God. That happiness is multiplied when that focus is shared with someone else.
 
Again, not surprising to me.

“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

A little over a month ago, the Alabama House of Representatives voted in favor of passing the most pro-life bill in the country, sending it to the Alabama Senate for a vote. Recently, the Alabama Senate voted 25-6 in favor of passing the bill, sending it to Governor Kay Ivey to sign into law, which she did a day after the passing of the bill.
 
Before debate was opened prior to the vote-taking of the bill, Alabama Sen. Clyde Chambliss began by saying: “When is a person a person? When does a life become a life? I believe that if we terminate the life of an unborn child, we are putting ourselves in God’s place.”
 
A great and significant statement to make regarding the entire issue of abortion, where Leftists often insinuate that a child growing inside the womb is not a person, a rather illogical assertion to make considering no one says the same about an unborn giraffe or elephant, for example. It is nothing but an attempt to dehumanize people so that the vast majority of people would be indoctrinated to believe what they are eliminating is not life but what equates to a disease.
 
But at the end of the day, we are talking about a person. Those who understand that tend not to favor abortion (unless you are a heinous Alabama Democrat who is 100% okay with killing babies in the womb), so the idea is to dehumanize the unborn.
 
The bill is also a sort of challenge to the fact that multiple Democrat states have either passed extreme pro-abortion bills or have discussed passing extreme pro-abortion bills wherein an unborn child is allowed to be killed up to even labor (and some have voiced their desire to allow for post-birth abortions).
 
As a reminder, the bill makes it so that abortion is considered a felony largely equating it to murder (because that’s precisely what it is) but does not hold the mother criminally responsible if she were to have an abortion (which is what some Leftists will try and lie to people about, saying that women would be thrown in jail for getting an abortion when that’s far from the truth).
 
The bill specifically states that “a woman who receives an abortion will not be held criminally culpable or civilly liable for receiving the abortion.”
 
The bill also explains that the only exception would be in the extremely rare case in which the mother’s life or health is in danger:
 
“In reasonable medical judgment, the child’s mother has a condition that so complicates her medical condition that it necessitates the termination of her pregnancy to avert her death or to avert serious risk of substantial physical impairment of a major bodily function. This term does not include a condition based on a claim that the woman is suffering from an emotional condition or a mental illness which will cause her to engage in conduct that intends to result in her death or the death of her unborn child.”
 
“However, the condition may exist if a second physician who is licensed in Alabama as a psychiatrist, with a minimum of three years of clinical experience, examines the woman and documents that the woman has a diagnosed serious mental illness and because of it, there is reasonable medical judgment that she will engage in conduct that could result in her death or the death of her unborn child.”
 
In other words, a mother can’t simply claim to have some sort of mental disease and therefore receive an abortion, rather there needs to be legitimate proof and medical analysis done to determine that there is serious mental health issues that could result in the mother engaging in behavior in which she would die or cause the death of her own child.
 
Of course, there exists the problem of psychiatrists misdiagnosing someone (willingly or unwillingly), but I believe this goes a long way towards protecting the unborn, as most (hopefully) psychiatrists likely won’t put their own beliefs ahead of their careers, reputation, etc. to intentionally misdiagnose a pregnant woman to allow her to have a “legitimate” reason for her abortion.
 
The rather funny and interesting thing about the passing of this bill is that a senior staff attorney for the ACLU’s Reproductive Freedom Project (there is no freedom in bondage, as I always say) threatened the Governor if she signs it with a lawsuit, writing in an email to CBS News: “We will not stand by while politicians endanger the lives of women and doctors for political gain. Know this, Governor Ivey: If you sign this dangerous bill into law, we will see you in Court.”
 
I say that’s rather funny and interesting because that is largely the point of the bill. The bill is not simply to outlaw abortions in the state; that’s just the more immediate goal. The larger, overarching goal of the bill is to have this heavily challenged by these pro-abortion, pro-death Leftist lunatics that it might make its way up to the Supreme Court, forcing them to review the 1973 Court decision that declared abortion was constitutional (by the way, the entire court was filled with old, white men, but we don’t hear anything about how they are somehow unfairly making decisions about a woman’s body).
 
The mission here is to have the conservative (hopefully) Supreme Court review Roe v. Wade and overturn that horrible decision, leaving it up to the states to decide on their own abortion laws as the 10th Amendment allows.
 
As Rep. Terri Collins remarked (the woman who sponsored the bill) last week, “The heart of this bill is to confront a decision that was made by the courts in 1973 that said the baby in the womb is not a person. This bill addresses that one issue. Is that baby in the womb a person? I believe our law says it is.” And after the bill passed, she then went on to remark: “This bill is about challenging Roe v. Wade and protecting the lives of the unborn because an unborn baby is a person who deserves love and protection. I have prayed my way through this bill. This is the way we get where we want to get eventually.”
 
A very appropriate and wholesome response to the passing of the bill. The Left will go out of their way to mock prayer (as they often do after a tragic shooting takes place) but that only goes to show just who they are unashamed of siding with: Satan.
 
The redefining of humanity is evil. It’s what Hitler did to the Jews (and other classes of people) and what old Southern Democrats would do towards black people (and still do, considering the fact that black people are disproportionately targeted by Planned Parenthood). And while Leftists can (and often will) make the claim that the banning of abortion is somehow evil, I will never be convinced that giving a woman the “right” to kill her own child for whatever reason she comes up with (and she doesn’t even have to have a reason) is not evil in any way.
 
It is not women’s “healthcare” to kill a child. And despite what the Left says about PP clinics, they do not perform any sort of healthcare to women. They are very strictly a slaughterhouse for the children of women who are either so scared about their pregnancy that they fall prey to their claws or simply are entirely apathetic or ignorant to the life that is growing inside them. And for the fact that these people claim to be “pro-choice”, they sure make it their mission to discourage the mothers from simply giving their children up for adoption.
 
As I have said often in some of my latest articles surrounding this topic, there is nothing about abortion that is “healthcare” to women or “liberating” to them. It is no more a healthcare service than a demolition derby is a mechanic service for your vehicle. It is no more liberating than being enchained to your own sins.
 
And while I may sound like a broken record in saying this time after time, I believe it is a point that is seldom made. People will argue about what a woman’s rights are regarding this (so will I), what the definition of life is and a lot of aspects, but the topic of being enslaved to sin is one that, while attached to this, is hardly, if ever, covered.
 
A few days prior to the Alabama bill passing, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed into law a “heartbeat” bill, which prompted Leftist Alyssa Milano to insist that women go on a “sex strike” as a response. I did not necessarily cover it myself, but I did think it was deliciously ironic considering that is largely where the problem stems: sex outside of marriage.
 
If that issue were to be resolved, no one would ever even discuss abortion because there would likely be no abortions at all. But society has essentially made it so that those who wait for marriage (aka Christians) are mocked for such a decision. I, myself, was mocked for holding that belief on a Twitter debate recently surrounding the topic of the Alabama Senate passing this bill. But I did not feel ashamed or embarrassed. Why would I? I’m the one siding with the Lord and they are the ones siding with Satan.
 
But it is here where we often find Man’s true nature of evil. That which is of the Lord’s and those who follow Him are mercilessly mocked. In the natural, Man wants nothing to do with God because he does not wish to be told that he is doing something wrong.
 
When Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, what did they do? Avoid God as much as they could. When Cain killed Abel, what did Cain do upon being questioned of his brother’s whereabouts? He lied to the Lord to hide what he had done.
 
And yet, they knew that what they were doing was wrong. They could feel it deep down. Why do you think so many women who have an abortion feel so depressed and sad about it? You often have some sort of feeling of guilt when you are doing something wrong, but in the natural, you are drawn to do it anyway.
 
The gentleman with whom I was debating felt that I was judging him for his stance. I was doing no such thing, merely offering the reasons as to why he was wrong and hoping God would send His Spirit to him that he might see the Light. But nevertheless, he felt judged, not because I was judging him (far from it, as it is not my job to do so) but because he himself felt, at least to some extent, that he was in the wrong – that he was doing something wrong. He likely won’t come to face that reality from just a random debate on Twitter, but I honestly hope it did at least something to help him out.
 
Regardless, as far as this Alabama Senate vote and signing of this bill by the Governor go, I am very proud of my state and look forward to the court challenges that will send it to the Supreme Court (if they actually decide to take it up and not stonewall like they have been for some other important cases).

Recently, Alabama State House voted overwhelmingly (74-3) in favor of a bill that would outright ban all abortions in the state (unless it is necessary for the health of the mother) in an effort to have the issue reach the Supreme Court so that they might look over the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion and possibly overturn it.
 
However, in a move that is shocking but not really surprising, Alabama State Rep. John Rogers (D-Birmingham) made the following comments regarding babies and abortion: “Some kids are unwanted, so you kill them now or you kill them later. You bring them in the world unwanted, unloved, you send them to the electric chair. So, you kill them now or you kill them later.”
 
He continued by saying: “Some parents can’t handle a child with problems. It could be retarded. It might have no arms and no legs.”
 
Again, shocking comments to make, but not really surprising, at least to me. The Left is the party of Satan, after all.
 
Notice how Rogers does not even pretend like the children are not actually children. He is fully aware and accepting of the fact that we are talking about the death of children here, and is totally okay with killing them if they are “unwanted” or “retarded”. That these children do not deserve life if the mother does not wish for them to have life.
 
What else are we to call this apart from full-blown infanticide? And what’s the limit? Using this sort of logic, and fully understanding that we are talking about children, aren’t parents then justified to kill their children if they bring them problems regardless of the age?
 
If a teenager is doing drugs and the parents find that problematic, are the parents justified in killing their child? Because that’s what this logic brings about. He understands that we are talking about kids, which is honestly more than I can say about much of the rest of the Left. But that honestly sort of makes things worse.
 
We conservatives insist that babies in the womb are children, a fact that the Left often denies. Here, we have a Leftist who accepts the fact that these children are, in fact, children, and he’s STILL okay with killing them.
 
And his arguments, again, lead to the notion that it is okay to off someone who is problematic to you. If your child is being a pain in the rear end – is being problematic –  you apparently have every right to kill them. If you did not want your child, even if you acknowledge that it’s a human being, you have the right to kill them.
 
Rep. Rogers accepts that we are talking about children, so his comments show him to be truly despicable and vile. Either the Left keeps getting worse or they’ve always been this despicable, only now the mask is coming off more and more.
 
And he’s yet another example of the Left using an African-American in their favor. Abortion is the number one killer of black people, with PP clinics being present mostly in minority neighborhoods. Rogers is ideologically a descendant of the black minister who helped notorious racist Margaret Sanger to sell the idea of abortion to the black community as some sort of good, likely not understanding that abortion was created to exterminate black people, whom Sanger considered to be like “weeds”.
 
Of course, that’s not to say that Rogers is not speaking his own mind or he’s not doing this of his own accord. He is. And that’s what’s sad about it. He’s been brainwashed into believing abortion – killing children – is a force for good.
 
Those words heavily represent the modern-day Left. They are quickly dropping all pretense of decency. If you remember, a few months ago, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam (who is still Governor, by the way), also made shocking but unsurprising remarks:
 
“This is why decisions such as this should be made by providers, physicians, and the mothers and fathers that are involved. When we talk about third-trimester abortions, these are done with the consent of the mother, with the consent of physicians, more than one physician by the way, and it’s done in cases where there may be severe deformities, there may be a fetus which is non-viable. So in this particular example, if the mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen, the infant would be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated if this is what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physician and the mother.”
 
Like Rogers, Northam accepts the fact that we are talking about children. Children whom the mother apparently does not want and children who have absolutely no rights if the mother wishes them not to.
 
Trump recently held a rally where he mentioned that Democrats want to execute babies. He also said something to that extent in his 2019 SOTU address. Unsurprisingly, the Democrats and the media called him a liar. But when comments like Northam and Rogers’ are made by these Democrats, we get to see their true colors. They DO want to execute babies. They WANT to have the ability to end life on a mere whim in a mere second. Why? Because they want POWER. That constitutes the power over life and death, a power that God has, a power that Man has wanted ever since Cain killed Abel.
 
And as far as Rogers’ comments go, the media made somewhat of an effort in defending him. When Rogers made those comments, people on social media were livid. Said people usually are conservative. So what do fake news sites like The Hill do? They say “Conservatives pounce on Alabama state Dem’s abortion comments” as though what he said was perfectly reasonable and we are the lunatics who jump at every word we disagree with.
 
What he said was EVIL. What he said shows us that the Left is evil. Not that I needed this to know that, but it’s a good refresher for what we are up against: pure vile.
 
Saying that some children are unwanted and would eventually be killed anyway is outrageous and moronic. What exactly does he mean by those words? Because electric chair is a death-penalty punishment for people, with only 30 states having the death penalty. And the death penalty is usually a punishment reserved for murderers and the like. So what, he expects unwanted children to grow up to be killers? That’s awfully pessimistic and very wrong.
 
I can imagine a woman not wanting a child, having one anyway and not loving that child. That happens plenty of times, unfortunately. But what leap of logic must you take to say that it is okay to then go ahead and kill that child? How is the child the one at fault here? Why must the child be punished?
 
You see, it’s not simply the idea of abortion that we conservatives wish to fight against and defeat. That’s only part of the battle. The idea that people should go ahead and have all the sex they want without repercussions is something we also often fight against, even if we do not always bring it up when we discuss the issue of abortion.
 
If a woman does not want a child, SHE SHOULDN’T HAVE SEX! Part of the abortion argument is that it’s “women’s liberation”. I’ve made this point before, but it is always a good one: liberation from what? From responsibilities for your actions; from that little voice in your head that tells you maybe you shouldn’t have sex; from feeling any guilt over committing sin and being used and tossed into the garbage over and over again.
 
That is not liberation, but bondage to the flesh and to sin. The fact is that we wouldn’t have anywhere close to an abortion problem if people weren’t so enslaved to sexual sin. Of course, that’s a pretty difficult battle to fight, but a necessary one.
 
Joe Biden and other hypocritical Democrats say that 2020 will be about “restoring the soul of the country”. How is abortion good for the soul? How is rampant sexual sin good for the soul? Both are a poison to the soul. And the only being in existence who can properly restore the soul of anyone is Jesus Christ. We need a Christian revival in America to truly restore our country’s soul.
 
Because being willing to kill children for any half-assed excuse and being willing to execute them outside the womb, despite knowing that these are human beings themselves is not how you restore a soul, but utterly decimate and rot it.
 
The Left does not have a soul that they can restore. Individual people within the Left might come to Christ and be redeemed, but the overall Left is doomed to the depths of Hell because the ideas and policies they propose are uniquely and exclusively anti-Christian. And the anti-Christ has only one place to go.

This past Sabbath, while Jews around the world were celebrating Passover, the Jewish holiday celebrating God freeing His Chosen People from the bonds of slavery in Egypt, an antisemitic, white supremacist (and I mean an actual white supremacist, not people who simply disagree with the Left) opened fire in a Poway synagogue, killing one and wounding three others.
 
And while this is a tragedy, as any loss of life is a tragedy, we can see the power of the Lord at work to defeat someone who is working for Satan through the actions of two brave men.
 
According to reports, a U.S. Border Patrol agent named Jonathan Morales and a former combat veteran who served in the Navy and the Army, named Oscar Stewart, kept the shooter (whose name I will omit as to not give him recognition for his heinous crime) from making that a much bloodier day than it already was.
 
The shooter reportedly went into the synagogue, shot at the Rabbi, Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, blowing off two of his fingers, shot at an elderly woman who was trying to protect the Rabbi, killing her in the process, shot at an 8-year-old girl and her uncle, both of whom were injured, but have thus far survived.
 
In the midst of this, Stewart, the combat veteran, made the decision to run towards the gunman, knowing that the shooter’s AR-style rifle would not be effective within five feet.
 
He recalled: “I heard gunshots. And everybody got up and started trying to get out of the back door, so I – for whatever reason – I didn’t do that. I ran the other way. I ran towards the gun shots. When I came around the corner into the lobby area, I saw the individual with a gun, and he fired two rounds. I knew I had to be within five feet of this guy so his rifle couldn’t get to me. So I ran immediately towards him, and I yelled as loud as I could. And he was scared. I scared the hell out of him. And I yelled at him and I must have yelled very loud, and he looked at me, and I must have had a really mean look on my face or something, because he immediately dropped his weapon and turned and ran. And then I gave chase.”
 
There were reports that the gun had jammed before the shooter ran to his car, but Stewart noted that it was unlikely. “Full automatic weapons will jam. Semi-automatic weapons do not jam.” Stewart figured that the gunman’s magazine simply ran out of ammo, so he dropped the gun and ran to his car.
 
Stewart then reportedly ran towards the gunman’s car, started pounding on it before he saw the gunman reach for another rifle. However, Border Patrol agent Morales came running and “yelled for Stewart to get down because Morales had a gun.” According to reports, Morales shot at the car multiple times in the hopes of disabling it, but the shooter drove away. The two brave men then called the police to report the guy’s license plate, but the shooter turned himself in soon after, interestingly enough.
 
The entire situation, however, demonstrates the power of God over Satan. The shooter intended to cause great harm and damage to Jews. According to posts he made on 8-chan, a reportedly “far-right” message board site, the guy hates Jews and Israel, blaming them for supposedly “sealing the doom” of the “European race”, spoken much like Adolf Hitler, whom the shooter mentions as being his inspiration, alongside the Tree of Life Synagogue shooter and the Christchurch, New Zealand mosque shooter.
 
The shooter also reportedly blames the Jews for “persecution of Christians” for their role in the deaths of Jesus, as well as prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah… all of whom were Jewish, so I’m not so sure about that.
 
According to the Jerusalem Post, the shooter claimed he was carrying out the attack in order to be a “good Christian”, saying “My God understands why I did what I did.”
 
Suffice it to say, he was not being a good Christian. God certainly understands why he did what he did, seeing as He’s omniscient, but that does not mean He sees it as a good or righteous thing. Far from it. If the shooter were really a “good Christian”, he would understand NOT TO KILL OTHER PEOPLE among many, many other things.
 
Plenty of people use God in terrible, sinful ways. One argument the Left often makes regarding religion is that it was used to justify slavery. But it was also used to justify ending it. Slavery is not a Christian thing. It’s not what God wants. And before you point out the multiple times in the Bible where the word is used and it’s not taken as a bad thing, please understand that there’s a difference between indentured servitude and paying off a debt through labor.
 
It is nothing new to see Satan use the scripture to perform evil deeds. Satan used scripture to tempt Jesus, after all. So it’s not exactly new for someone who claims to be a Christian to use scripture to try to justify committing an evil act. However, it is important to note that such a thing is inherently anti-Christian. Just as any “Christian” trying to justify abortion, any “Christian” trying to justify the killing and persecution of Jews is not a real Christian.
 
The shooter blamed the Jews for what they did to Jesus, but what happened to Jesus was NECESSARY FOR OUR ATONEMENT! We are evil by nature and nothing we can do on our own accord justifies us or makes us righteous. What we need is a perfect being to be our substitute, to be punished in our stead and make us justified in the Eyes of the Lord. Jesus is that perfect substitute. What happened to Him is heart-wrenching and gruesome, but the ultimate blessing for those whom He calls.
 
To blame Jews, particularly today’s Jews for what the Pharisees and Romans did to Jesus is like blaming white people today for what white Democrats did in the past regarding slavery and segregation. Christians have no better ally in the world than the Jews and vice versa.
 
The power of God is clearly seen in the fact that the shooter likely ran out of ammo and was scared off by brave men, one of whom had a gun with him. Satan led the supposed “Christian” to commit this detestable crime against God’s Chosen People, but God kept the shooter from doing more damage than he could have.
 
Satan already knows he is finished, that he will not win. At this point, he just doesn’t want to be lonely by the time he burns in the lake of fire and sulfur, so he entraps people like this shooter. He loves nothing more than to bring people away from God, away from Christ. But his defeat was made concrete from the very beginning.

I have largely avoided talking about the whole college scandal story going on with actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin because I could not care less about the problems of Hollywood Leftists, but I felt it necessary to say a little something here because of some of the comments that Loughlin’s family has made about the entire fiasco.
 
To summarize the entire thing as best I can, Loughlin and Huffman face charges for bribing the University of Southern California (USC) into letting their kids attend the school. Obviously, it was wrong and the two are paying the price for their illegal actions, but I do not care all that much about that. College, for the most part, is a cesspool of Left-wing garbage, so I couldn’t care less about the incestuous relationships that are present between Leftist schools and Leftist Hollywood elites.
 
But the comments coming from Loughlin’s family are something that I think I should take note of, to some extent.
 
According to HotAir.com: “’Lori is used to getting what she wants,’ says the family source. ‘This is why she got in trouble in the first place. She got fixated on getting her girls into USC.’… ‘For her, there was no other way… They needed to be at USC. It was very important for her to be able to say that her girls were at USC.’ For Loughlin, 54, ‘it was absolutely a status thing’ for her daughters to attend the elite Los Angeles university, where the admission rate was 13 percent in March 2018, the family source says. ‘And the fact that she wanted the girls to have things that she never had growing up.’”
 
Well, I guess getting a bad reputation is something Lori did not have growing up, so I’m sure her daughters appreciate it.
 
Jokes aside, I really just want to focus on that whole “it was absolutely a status thing” comment. I, for one, am not really surprised at all about that sort of mindset. Of course it was a status thing! For the Hollywood elite, sending their kids to college is not so that they can get an education (God knows colleges don’t offer that anymore). It’s about prestige. It’s about being able to tell people “Mmm, yes, my son is studying at Hhhhhaaaaaarrrrvvvaaaaarrrrdddd.” (Just imagine saying that in the most obnoxious and snooty voice possible while holding a glass of wine or champagne). It’s about being able to tell people “my child is better than your child”. Basically, it’s the adult, yet still very childish version of “my dad can beat up your dad.”
 
These people are incestuous, as I’ve established. In this case, that means they are entirely codependent on one another and on one another’s approval and satisfaction. Why do you think people like Harvey Weinstein would so often champion women’s rights while simultaneously doing unspeakable things to them in private? It’s because they seek one another’s approval and sending kids off to prestigious colleges is part of acquiring some bragging rights, at least for the ones who are old enough to have children going to college.
 
To these people, it’s shameful if their kids don’t go to an elite school. It’s shameful if, as with the case of Lori Loughlin’s daughter, their child has a YouTube channel about make-up tutorials that draws in millions of people and can be a legitimate source of income. That’s not elite; that’s not special. Her parents need to be able to tell their friends that their daughter attends a highly exclusive and prestigious university, studying the various genders of a tree and getting barely passable grades.
 
If they can tell other people that sort of thing, they feel special and prestigious themselves. It is, as the family source says, a status thing.
 
But it’s petty. Even if Loughlin and Huffman had gotten their children legitimately enrolled into her school, the reasons behind it all are still insanely petty and sad. These are people that depend entirely on what others think about them. If there is someone out there who MIGHT make fun or gossip about their child not going to a prestigious school (which highlights Loughlin’s and Huffman's narcissism that she might think people think about them all the time), they can’t possibly take it and will go to any means, even illegal ones, to avoid being shamed about it.
 
Well, despite what prestige or status you get out of telling people your child goes to an elite school, there is no greater status or more prestige than in being able to call yourself a follower of Christ and a child of God.
 
All the Loughlins and Huffmans of the world get out of bragging about where their child is being indoctrinated is just that: bragging rights. In reality, no one honestly cares about that. Why would they? The people the Loughlins tell this stuff to are just as self-centered and narcissistic and incestuous as they are, so why would they be impressed by such a thing? If anything, they might get envious (which honestly might also be what the Loughlins and Huffmans sought, which makes it even more petty and sad), but certainly not impressed.
 
But that is all they can get out of that. If, however, you are a child of God and a follower of Christ, your rewards far exceed that of “bragging rights”.
 
Namely, what you get is access to the most prestigious and hard-to-access place in all of existence: Heaven. I might not be able to get into Hhhhaaaarrrvvvaaaarrrddd, but I know I can and will get into Heaven due to the only requirement for doing so is to receive Christ as your Lord and Savior. I’ve done that, and I continuously do my best to obey the Lord, so I know I’ll get into Heaven. But I can’t say the same for these people.
 
All that is required to enter the most coveted area in all of existence is the receiving of Christ Jesus into our hearts, that He would forgive our sins and redeem us in the Eyes of the Lord.
 
And yet, not everyone does it. Now, I won’t go much into that, since that’s a topic on its own and I know full-well why people don’t do it, but it should be pointed out that the most logical thing anyone can do is to follow Jesus Christ.
 
But in any case, the sort of reward you get out of being a Christian is eternal life at the side of God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. There is no greater status than that of being a Christian. And I do not mean an earthly status. Of course, being a Christian will lead people into a life of persecution by wicked people, so it is not an earthly status where one can receive the benefits of it immediately. However, the status, the rewards, come in the form of a rejoicing Father who welcomes His lost sheep.
 
Personally, I’d much rather appease the Lord than brag to Man about what I can do or have done. I’d much rather follow Christ than receive any form of status from Leftist Hollywood.

“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”

I’ve written before in the past that it makes no sense whatsoever for the Left to claim they do the work of the Lord when in actuality, they are doing the work of Satan. That’s as true today as it ever has been. However, since they see no wrong in anything they do, they pretend that their evil is something that God wants them to do, which is horribly blasphemous, if nothing else.
 
But specifically, I wish to talk about something one of the 666 different Democrat Presidential candidates said about Trump and his Christian supporters (aka, most of us) in relation to his own supposed faith. I am, of course, talking about Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
 
Ignoring the fact that he spreads fake news fed to him constantly, such as when the fake news media doctored a video to claim Trump called all illegal immigrants “animals” when he was only referring to the rapist, murderous MS-13 gang, he talked about how Trump, VP Mike Pence and Trump supporters who are Christians are unbelievably hypocritical.
 
Of Trump, he said: “I’m reluctant to comment on another person’s faith, but I would say it is hard to look at this president’s actions and believe that they’re the actions of somebody who believes in God. I just don’t understand how you can be as worshipful of your own self as he is and be prepared to humble yourself before God. I’ve never seen him humble himself before anyone.”
 
Oh yeah, because being the most pro-life and pro-Israel president in American history is definitely not the actions of someone who believes in God. No, someone who is pro-abortion like Mayor Pete here is totally in more accordance to God’s will and heart than someone who sacrifices his own lifestyle of riches and comfort to not earn a cent being a public servant, hated by half the country when he was previously loved by all of it. (Reminder: the most ardent Trump haters like Spike Lee, Kathy Griffin, Snoop Dogg, and others all used to love, or at least really like, Donald Trump).
 
Yes, he may talk himself up an awful lot, but there are a variety of reasons for that, chief among which is the fact that the entirety of the media hates him, would report nothing but terrible things about him (most of which are lies) and there would be next to no one speaking well of him anywhere in the media if he weren’t promoting himself.
 
Also, before I move on to what Pete said about Mike Pence, I should remind you, if you do not already know, that Pete is homosexual and married to a man, which is important to keep in mind when considering what he says of VP Pence:
 
“My marriage to Chasten has made me a better man. And yes, Mr. Vice President, it has moved me closer to God. Speaking only for myself, I can tell you that if me being gay was a choice, it was a choice that was made far, far above my pay grade. And that’s the thing I wish the Mike Pences of the world would understand: If you’ve got a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator.”
 
Oh, man, I have an awful lot to say about this, but let’s first see what he said about Trump supporters who are Christians before I delve into that mess:
 
“It’s something that frustrates me because the hypocrisy is unbelievable. Here you have somebody that not only acts in a way that’s not consistent with anything I hear in scripture or church where it is about lifting up the least among us and taking care of strangers, which is another word for immigrants, and making sure that you are focusing your efforts on the poor. Also personally how you’re supposed to conduct yourself.”
 
There is a sweet irony in the fact he calls us hypocritical when there is no greater hypocrite here than Mayor Pete.
 
Let’s begin with what I intended to talk about regarding his words about Mike Pence and the “Mike Pences of the world”.
 
Particularly, I would like to discuss what he said about the fact that he’s gay because God made him that way. If he truly loved God, if he truly worshiped God, he would perfectly understand that HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN!
 
And God does not force anyone to sin. He literally cannot force people to sin. James 1:13 says: “When tempted, no one should say, ‘God is tempting me.’ For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone.”
 
As we’ve established, homosexuality is a sin. To claim that God made Pete gay is the same as accusing God of tempting him to sin. It’s the same as saying: “Why are you punishing me for making me the way I am?”
 
And this argument can be applied to any other sin. A murderer can accuse God of making him that way. A rapist can accuse God of making him that way. An idolater can accuse God of putting a beautiful woman in front of him, too much for him to be able to resist the temptation.
 
All of them are WRONG. God does not tempt anyone into committing sin. So God does not make anyone gay. The very REASON we argue homosexuality is a choice is because ALL SINS ARE A CHOICE!
 
That’s not to say they are easy choices to make like picking what sort of breakfast to have in the morning or what kind of shampoo to get at the store. But we all CHOOSE to sin, at the end of the day. We are sinners – evil – by nature. It’s in our nature to sin. But this comes from the original sin, when Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate of the forbidden fruit.
 
Before that point, there was no sin in Man. Sin entered Man when he chose to disobey God, wanting to be like Him, knowing good and evil.
 
When we sin, it is not because God caused us to sin. It is actually impossible for God to cause anyone to sin because there is no evil in God. When we sin, it is of our own volition. Why? Because we all act according to our strongest inclination.
 
Like I said, choosing to sin is not an easy choice (at least always). But it is always a choice made by us in accordance to our strongest inclination at the time of the decision. When we are tempted but fight off such temptation, that means that our inclination to obey God was stronger than our inclination to sin.
 
When we are tempted, we are only ever tempted by the devil, not God. So whatever Pete may have to say about Trump, Pence or Christians in general loses all meaning the moment he claims God made him gay. He did not. Pete made Pete gay. He CHOSE to be gay. He CHOSE to sin against God.
 
He cannot honestly attack Trump with a faith argument, when he is so lacking in its understanding. He truly knows nothing of the Creator if he claims God made him gay.
 
Of course, I could also talk about how he is wrong, in so many ways, when he says that “immigrants” is another word for stranger.
 
First, it’s insulting to lump me, a LEGAL immigrant (and now proud citizen of the United States) with illegal immigrants who COMMIT CRIMES to enter the country. The President is completely right and biblically justified in applying the RULE OF LAW on illegals. What does Romans 13:4 say, Mayor Pete, since your homosexual marriage has apparently brought you closer to God? It says: “For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer.”
 
Those who commit crimes are wrongdoers according to the laws of the land. Illegals break the laws of the United States by simply being here. Trump is perfectly justified in applying justice on those who BREAK THE LAW!
 
Second, in what language is “immigrants” a replacement for “stranger”? Is he talking about how strangers to Israel would essentially be immigrants? Well, allow me to retort:
 
Leviticus 18:26 says: “You must obey all my decrees and regulations. You must not commit any of these detestable sins. This applies to both native-born Israelites and to the foreigners living among you!”
 
The Bible, does, indeed, say we must help immigrants. But we must punish CRIMINALS, as previously stated, and immigrants must also obey God and the laws of the land in which they reside. As such, immigrants have to ASSIMILATE!
 
But when you see defiant immigrants waving the Mexican, Honduran or another flag entirely as they march to invade the country, demanding “asylum”, we can plainly and clearly see they have no intention to assimilate into the American lifestyle or contribute to the American economy. They want to replace our culture with their own, making America Mexico or Honduras, etc.
 
What obligation do we have to obey them? What obligation do we have to let an invading force into our country? What obligation do we have to take care of them as a country? We already send billions of dollars to Latin American countries. Is it then our fault that these countries take most, if not all, of this money and keep it for themselves? These people clearly do not seek financial opportunity the way other, legal immigrants like my family seek/sought.
 
My family sought financial opportunity in the form of working to achieve the American dream, something red-blooded Americans can sympathize with. But these people do not seek to work towards the American dream. To them, the dream is taking advantage of the fact this country is richer, so the currency is worth more, so they can live a little bit better off of taxpayers’ dime, living off of government programs.
 
And the Left is all too happy to oblige, even making sure they are kept in the country under sanctuary city and state laws.
 
Proverbs 12:11 says: “Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits lacks sense.”
 
Colossians 3:23 says: “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.”
 
And let’s not forget one of the most important ones regarding work: Genesis 2:15: “The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.”
 
Since before Man even committed his first sin, God intended for Man to work. God demands that we work, so I can’t imagine He’d be all that pleased with an entire invading force planning to NOT work and live off of government (aka taxpayer) money, in a land that they have no right to enter in such a manner.
 
So everything from homosexuality, to abortion, to illegal immigration, all the things the Left supports stand in direct contrast to the will of the Lord.
 
It is no surprise at all for me to see the Left claim they take God’s side on any issue when in fact, they take Satan’s.
 
Matthew 15:8
“These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.”

In the past, I have written about how it makes no sense for Democrats or Leftists to claim they are doing God’s work at any capacity in a number of things from trying to open our borders to illegal immigrants to trying to destroy a duly-elected President who was chosen by God to be in his position.
 
However, one of the most egregious, demented and outright demonic things you can do is say you promote abortion BECAUSE you believe in and “love” God. But that’s exactly what actress Alyssa Milano said recently in a tweet.
 
“I love God. I believe in God. But I don’t believe my personal beliefs of which we can’t confirm should override scientific facts and what we can confirm. ‘If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things?’ John 3:12.”
 
Oh, man, there’s so much I can say here, it’s not even funny.
 
First, the irony is downright rich right here. For her to be quoting THAT bible verse while ignoring the fact that human life begins at conception absolutely encapsulates this entire situation. How can she believe in God if she ignores the humanity of an unborn child?
 
Which really leads me to the second and most important point: YOU CAN’T SAY YOU LOVE AND BELIEVE IN GOD IF YOU PUSH FOR ABORTION!
 
Psalm 139:13-16 says: “For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.”
 
The very WORD OF GOD tells us that we are formed by God in our mother’s womb, He knew us before He even made us, and we are fearfully and wonderfully made in His Glorious image. That God sees the days every human life will have, sees what will happen and ordained them.
 
To then eliminate such a life inside the womb, regardless of the excuses or the shameful reasons, is the exact same thing as breaking the 6th Commandment: “though shall not murder.”
 
Again, it is a fact that human life begins at conception. The mixing of the DNA structures of the female and male reproductive cells creates a new combination, entirely different from the two before, to create a new being – a new life. This much is known by the fact that we all have different DNA. The fact that a crime scene investigator can investigate a crime scene, find some DNA evidence and come up with the culprit shows us that every individual’s DNA is different. They are not going to get the culprit’s parents or other relatives because their DNA is different, even if relatively similar.
 
If you want to look at things strictly through scientific facts that we can confirm (and by saying this she alludes to the fact she does not believe God can even be scientifically proven, when HE VERY CLEARLY HAS!), then you cannot possibly deny the fact that new DNA sequences are created upon conception.
 
Thus, the elimination of that new sequence of DNA is MURDER.
 
And don’t even try and tell me a fetus is just a “random clump of cells”. One, fetus is Latin for offspring, or child. Two, scientists agree and say that cells are alive, so this is still the elimination of some sort of life EVEN BY THEIR OWN STANDARDS! And three, human life is far more valuable than that. Which is precisely the reason they use that excuse.
 
The Left has to dehumanize a person in order to try and justify their actions. Old Southern Democrats dehumanized black people, justifying their supposed “right” to own them as property. Hitler dehumanized the Jews (and other groups, too) in order to justify the concentration camps (and even still, he did not dare tell the world what he was doing to them).
 
In doing so, they adamantly deny the very personhood that God has set upon His creation. But again, that’s why this is so egregious. It’s no different, really, to committing mass genocide in the name of God. No different to Islamic terrorists committing mass murder in the name of God.
 
So for her to be supportive of the pro-abortion movement goes to show how she has a horrible misrepresentation of God and does not truly love Him, for if she did, she would also love His creation. She does not.
 
Again, it is wrong for anyone on the Left (or anyone in general, really) to be doing the work of Satan and claim to be doing the work of God. But it is an outrageous and atrocious thing to say that you support the pro-abortion movement and claim to love God. Alyssa Milano does not love God. She just loves the idea of changing God into her own perfect image: a sovereign deity who supports gay marriage, hates Trump and conservatives, hates gun owners, supports transgenderism, and loves it when people kill others in the womb.
 
My friends, that does not describe God at all. Aside from the “sovereign deity” part, that perfectly describes Satan. What Milano loves is a being far closer to the devil than God. And that is truly sad.

“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.”

There are a lot of people in this day and age that seem to think that God, or at least religion, and science are completely incompatible with one another. That one strictly requires faith, but not backed up with facts and evidence, and the other strictly requires facts and evidence, but not supported by any faith.
 
That is 100% erroneous and unrealistic. And I will explain just what I mean in a moment.
 
First, let me introduce you to Marcelo Gleiser, an Astro-physicist who has won the Templeton Prize, a prize given to those who have “made an exceptional contribution to affirming life’s spiritual dimension, whether through insight, discovery, or practical works.” The prize also gives out $1.5 million, which is more than the Nobel prize gives.
 
Gleiser recently told Agence France Presse that “Atheism is inconsistent with the scientific method. Atheism is a belief in non-belief. So you categorically deny something you have no evidence against.”
 
He also told Yahoo News: “I’ll keep an open mind because I understand that human knowledge is limited,” sort of taking a Socratic approach to knowledge and understanding that we truly know nothing.
 
Gleiser also points out that “everybody wants to know how the world came to be… Science can give answers to certain questions, up to a point. This has been known for a very long time in philosophy, it’s called the problem of the first cause: we get stuck.”
 
He also says that those who believe the universe and everything that exists was literally created in six days “position science as the enemy… because they have a very antiquated way of thinking about science and religion in which all scientists try to kill God. Science does not kill God.”
 
And I have some things to say about this. First, a good number of scientists are atheists and devote their careers to finding out more about the universe, yes, but with the particular point of trying to disprove God or suggesting that there is an answer as to how things came to be that do not include God.
 
People like Neil DeGrasse Tyson come to mind as such scientists (and I would include Bill Nye the Science Guy, but he only has a Bachelor’s degree in mechanical science, soooo…). But both of these guys often try and insist that God is 100% not real, cannot possibly be real, and that science already has proven that He is not real, when nothing could be farther from the truth.
 
So we certainly have good reason for not being keen towards scientists who try to prove God does not exist using evidence that does not allude to that in the slightest. If anything, the more we find out about our universe and the more complex we see it to be, the more it goes to show that it couldn’t have come from a massive cosmic accident and that it had to have been specifically designed this way, as it works in perfect synchronization with everything else.
 
The more we find out about DNA, while scientists try and prove evolution using it, we see more and more evidence of the complexity of the creation and the intricate design by an omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient being, who is the only being who could possibly have created such a thing.
 
But it is precisely because of this that I also have to agree with Gleiser when he says that science does not kill God. If anything, it further goes to show that God does, indeed, exist.
 
But now, allow me to return to something I said earlier and the explanation I promised for it. In the beginning, I said that people seem to think God and science are incompatible with one another; that one strictly and exclusively requires faith but with no evidence and the other strictly and exclusively requires evidence but no faith. Like I said, that is erroneous.
 
From what I just mentioned about DNA and other things, it does not require blind faith to believe in God. We see, every day, His creation at work. Everything we see, touch, smell, hear, taste, etc. is proof of God’s creation. The further we investigate the things we see, and even do not see with the naked eye; the things we can touch and cannot touch; the things we smell and cannot smell; the things we hear and cannot hear; and the things we taste and cannot taste, the more we can become convinced that the theory of everything coming from nothing by pure chance (which is nothing but a mathematical calculation of probability) is ludicrous.
 
Seeing just how everything works, discovering what composes every little thing in the universe does more to PROVE God’s existence than disprove Him.
 
What’s more believable and requires less faith? Believing that an omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent being created everything or that everything we know of this universe came from nothing and it was all a massive coincidence that it all works as it does and there are no complications with it that would disrupt the entire universal ecosystem?
 
Personally, I think it requires more blind faith to discover more and more about the universe and think that God is definitely not real.
 
But that’s just one part of the equation. There’s also the notion that “the other”, or science, requires nothing but evidence and no faith. Again, that’s completely wrong.
 
The scientific method REQUIRES a hypothesis. What’s a hypothesis if not some sort of belief or faith that something will be the way one thinks it will be? Science REQUIRES faith to work to its fullest extent, otherwise one would find it much more difficult to use the scientific method.
 
Not to mention that science is not always correct about its evidence. Take the brain, for example. Neurobiologists are constantly finding new things about the brain that they thought were in other places in the brain. The information they previously had about the brain, including the evidence, was not 100% correct.
 
So how can one be 100% sure that God does not exist when one can’t be 100% sure of the brain’s functions in how it works? How can one dismiss the idea of a higher being existing when we know so exponentially little about the universe we live in? We haven’t even fully explored the Earth yet, at least when it comes to the oceans!
 
So Gleiser is right in saying that science doesn’t kill God. Naturally, as nothing can kill God. The problem arises when people use science to further their own agendas that do nothing to advance humanity. The problem with the theory of evolution (and really, there are a LOT of problems with that theory) is that it only goes back so far – to the single living organism that evolves into everything else in the span of millions and millions of years, but it does nothing to explain how that single living organism got there in the first place. If something evolves, it had to have come from something that was already there. And if something living evolves from something else that is living, that previous living thing had to have already been there.
 
Never mind that the theory does nothing to explain just HOW one species can evolve into an entirely different one (I agree that things can adapt and evolve to better suit their environments, but believing a human can come from a monkey, a monkey can come from a reptile and a reptile can come from a fish, which can come from whatever else honestly takes more faith than believing in God).
 
So even the theory of evolution HAS TO INCLUDE GOD FOR IT TO BE FULLY EXPLAINED AND MAKE SENSE!
 
But in any case, the relationship between science and God isn’t antagonistic. One does not hate the other nor does one try to destroy the other. God CREATED everything, and that includes science. God gave humanity the ability to use logic and reason, and thus, the ability to study the things around it.
 
It is only in man’s sinful nature that we find people who pervert science to further a selfish cause. Those who adamantly insist that God is not real and can’t possibly be do a disservice to science, not to mention to God.
 
As I said, the more we find out about our universe, the more we discover its complexity and the improbability of it all being the result of a simple mathematic calculation of probability that has no actual power to dictate anything.
 
Chance does not decide the outcome of a coin flip, it only calculates the probability of an outcome. So chance can’t possibly decide the outcome of the entire universe’s history, only calculate the probability of it all happening. It has no actual power to DO anything. It's not a thing. Those who believe in chance are giving it a power it does not have - they're giving chance the power of "being".
 
God, on the other hand, has ALL the power to do everything. The dismissal of His existence as being antiquated does nothing to progress science itself or humanity. It only serves to further pervert both.

Over the weekend, President Donald Trump visited Alabama to pay his respects and give support for the families and communities devastated by massive tornadoes that killed 23 people. During his visit, some young kids asked the President if he would sign their Bibles.
 
And because he did, the Left is freaking out about it (which can really be a slogan for Trump in 2020: “Because Trump did it, the Left is freaking out”. It could cover literally anything he ever does).
 
Joe Biden’s former chief of staff, Ron Klain, tweeted: “He signed bibles with the same hand he used – as President – to sign hush money checks to an adult film star.”
 
Peter Daou, former adviser to Hillary Clinton wrote: “Donald J. Trump is signing Bibles. The man whose vicious and inhumane border policy violates the fundamental teachings of Jesus is signing Bibles.”
 
Reverend Al Sharpton (and I honestly forgot he was a reverend before this, considering his outright constant anti-Christian behavior) tweeted: “Donald Trump traveled to AL this past Friday to comfort those who had been devastated by a recent tornado that killed 23 people. During the trip, Trump was asked to sign some Bibles… I suggest that he takes some time to READ the Bible…”
 
And others on Twitter shared the same sentiment: “Imagine being a Christian and having Trump of all people sign your bible. NOBODY should be signing the word of God… Is this the end times? Lol,” wrote one Twitter user.
 
“Why did Trump sign Bibles for Christians?! He is not the author of the Bible. Matter of fact, he is what the Bible tells you not to be. Notice how he signed them on the cover. Trump still has never opened one. Trump autographing bibles is like Hannibal Lecter signing cookbooks,” wrote another user who also shared a picture of the Bibles he signed with the caption: “When the man who embodies all 7 deadly sins – lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride – is signing bibles it means that it is time to reevaluate your religion.”
 
I will get to absolutely obliterating all of these people’s arguments in a moment, but first, let me share with you some other tweets from actually sane and not hypocritical people:
 
“Note to all the people ridiculing evangelicals for asking Trump to sign their bibles: Martin Luther King’s family asked President Obama to sign MLK’s bible. And Obama did,” wrote one Matthew Schmitz.
 
A group called Students for Trump tweeted: “Truman signs a Bible: *crickets*. Carter signs a Bible: *crickets*. Clinton signs a Bible: *crickets*. Gore signs a Bible: *crickets*. Trump signs a Bible: *HYSTERIA*.”
 
It’s also worth mentioning that Bush, Reagan and Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts have all also signed Bibles.
 
So to the person saying that Trump shouldn’t sign a bible because he’s not the author, what would he say to anyone else who signs Bibles? Or what would he say if someone famous signed something they really had nothing to do with, because that sort of thing happens pretty often?
 
Someone signing something does not symbolize that person therefore having been responsible for that something. If you had given Stan Lee a comic book about Superman and he signed it, that does not mean he is responsible for the creation of Superman.
 
Now, let’s address some of the tweets from the Left regarding this. Ron Klain is trying to point out the supposed hypocrisy of Trump signing a bible with the same hand he used to supposedly sign hush money payments for Stormy Daniels. Yeah, because we all know that once someone commits a sin, they are irredeemable.
 
We all know the story of Moses, who killed an Egyptian guard, was on the lam for 40 years, God appeared to him in the form of a burning bush, told him that he messed up and left him to cry over it.
 
We all know the story of Abraham, who was so impatient for God’s promise to come to pass that he slept with his wife’s servant, bearing a child with her and God decided he messed up and didn’t give him another child, leaving Abraham and his tribe to suffer in their sin.
 
We all know the story of David, who used his kingly power to sleep with one of his most loyal soldiers’ wife, got her pregnant, sent said soldier off to die in battle, was removed from power and made to suffer forevermore in his sin because God would not forgive him even after he acknowledged his sins and repented of them.
 
We all know the story of Saul of Tarsus, who so hated Christians that he would use the power of the Roman Empire to hunt down and kill said Christians until Jesus Himself appeared to him, asking him why he was persecuting Him, made him blind and left him to rot forever as a sinner.
 
Time and time again, story after story, we see a recurring theme: man is sinful. But that’s not the end of the story. God did not abandon Abraham even after he sinned. He did not abandon Moses after he sinned. He did not abandon David after he sinned. He did not abandon Saul after he repeatedly sinned. Their faith in the Lord is what ultimately saved them.
 
The point of the Bible is that, while we are yet sinners and by our own abilities can never hope to be anything other than sinners, we are saved by the Grace of the Lord through our faith in Him. That’s as true in the Old Testament as it is in the New Testament. Saving Grace is what saved those living under the Old Testament and it’s what saves those who live under the New Testament.
 
Regardless of what Trump has done (and the only reports seem to be from Leftist sources, so you know how reliable those are), there’s no doubt that he is, indeed, a sinner. At heart, he’s a sinner because he is as human as you and I. But if he has repented, bowed his head down in reverence of Christ and asked for forgiveness of his sins, he has been forgiven.
 
Now, let’s go over those tweets once more. I already covered Ron Klain and the Twitter user who said he shouldn’t sign bibles because he is not the author, etc.
 
Let’s cover Peter Daou’s tweet about Trump signing bibles in spite of his “vicious and inhumane border policies”. Well, there are a number of things I can say about this.
 
First, what vicious and inhumane border policies? You mean the ones that Obama enacted and the media conveniently ignored until Trump took power and those policies remained? You mean the ones where we separate children from traffickers who seek to use those children to enter the country? You mean the ones where we separate those children from drug mules? From sex traffickers? How exactly is it humane to leave them with those people? If that is your definition of humane, you need some serious help.
 
Second, Obama and Clinton have both signed bibles. Despite the fact that they are both pro-gay marriage, pro-abortion, pro- just about everything the Bible warns against, they both have signed bibles. Why is it not a problem when they do it? They both come far closer to being the anti-Christ than Trump does. And I would be very shocked if either of them, let alone both of them, have repented of their sins.
 
Now, let’s look at what Sharpton said. He suggested that Trump read the Bible. Does Sharpton read the Bible himself? What does Romans 16:17-18 say?
 
“I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve.”
 
Read that, then read what Sharpton has said in the past and tell me he’s not an egregious hypocrite.
 
Lastly, we return to the guy who said Trump’s not the author of the Bible, so he shouldn’t be signing it. Remember that he also shared a picture that showed two Bibles Trump signed with the caption: “When the man who embodies all 7 deadly sins… is signing bibles it means that it is time to reevaluate your religion.”
 
For which I would refer you back to what I said earlier about man being sinful by nature and being redeemed by Christ.
 
No, we will not reevaluate our religion because our religion teaches us the Saving Grace of Christ at the cross. Who among us hasn’t occasionally been tempted or even committed one of these deadly sins? I know what I’ve struggled with regarding these sins and I have begged for forgiveness from the only source that can give me that: Jesus.
 
And as far as the 7 deadly sins go, I can realistically count only one or two of those sins that I could think Trump would really do: lust and pride. When it comes to lust, this is assuming that he did actually sleep with Stormy Daniels, which may or may not have actually happened. When it comes to pride, I’d say it’s mostly his boasting about his business ventures, etc. on the campaign trail and elsewhere.
 
But here’s the thing about the 7 deadly sins: they are deadly when they get to the point where they violate the first commandment: thou shall have no other God before me.
 
When your lust is so massive that you prefer to sleep around than worship God, you are effectively worshipping the flesh. When your gluttony is so great that you prefer to eat as much as possible instead of worshipping God, you are effectively worshipping what is supposed to be beneath man in the Creation. When your greed is so great that you seek to make as much money as possible instead of praising God for allowing you to do this and instead of worshipping God, you are effectively worshipping money. When your laziness is so grand that it keeps you from worshipping God, you are effectively worshipping laziness. When your wrath is so overwhelming that it keeps you from worshipping God, you are effectively worshipping violence. When your envy is keeping you from worshipping God, you are effectively worshipping that which you wish to have. When your pride is so massive that it keeps you from worshipping God, you are effectively worshipping yourself.
 
Only worshipping God, and His Son Jesus Christ, is what saves us. Only having God, and His Son Jesus Christ, in our hearts is what saves us. Putting in place things which are not God is what dooms us. It’s precisely for that reason that that was God’s FIRST commandment.
 
If Trump has God, has Christ, in his heart, he has been forgiven of all of his sins. Even if that post was right – that he indeed was the embodiment of all 7 deadly sins (he’s not) – as long as he has repented of his sins and Christ is in his heart, he has been forgiven.
 
But I can tell you many of these people have not been forgiven. Christ does not reside in them.
 
This especially goes for Al Sharpton, who though he says is a Reverend and may actually be a Reverend, is far from a Christian, particularly when taking into consideration what Matthew 15:8 says: “These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.”
 
Sharpton says he’s a Christian but I have not seen anything close to Christian behavior on his part.
 
Overall, I am not at all upset over Trump signing bibles. Particularly considering that he was asked by people, starting with some young kids, to do so. It’s not like he actively sought to put his name on them. What was he supposed to do? Decline a young kid who likes the President and loves Jesus?
 
Personally, I would not have asked him to sign my Bible because I’d rather keep my thoughts on the Lord whenever I see or read my Bible, but that’s just me. I don’t think it’s anywhere near this big of a deal for a CHRISTIAN President to be signing Bibles when he’s asked to. It certainly wasn’t to these people when atheist Presidents or supposedly Christian presidents signed them.
 
Proverbs 6:16-19
“There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.”

It is not often that I even care to write about anything with relations to animals. For the most part, I care more about matters of God, or matters of humans than I do about matters of animals. Usually, the lowest creation I will consider talking about is the actual planet whenever I discuss climate change. But I suppose this article sort of connects to climate change as well in some ways, at least with the fictitious notion that we are killing our planet.
 
Recently, two previously-thought extinct creatures were discovered. On the Galapagos Island of Fernandina, a giant tortoise, which was last seen more than 100 years ago (1906, more specifically) was discovered.
 
This tortoise was found to be a female tortoise, is believed to be more than 100 years old (roughly the life expectancy of a giant tortoise) and other tracks and scents were also found near her, which might belong to other members of her species, indicating she may not be alone.
 
The other creature that was recently found is perhaps the only creature I would be willing to advocate for its extinction. The Wallace’s Giant Bee (the nightmarish creature is seen right below), named after Alfred Russel Wallace, who discovered the species in 1958 and was last seen in 1981 also was found in Indonesia.
 
The Wallace’s Giant Bee, according to CBS News, is around 1.5 inches long and has a 2.5 inch wingspan. Unsurprisingly, LiveScience dubbed this bee a “nightmare bee”.

​The giant tortoise was discovered by an expedition by the Giant Tortoise Restoration Initiative (GTRI) and Satan’s bee (as I shall call it henceforth) was discovered, oddly enough, by a conservation photographer who had been trying to find this bee for 20 years.
 
I don’t know about you, but the only way I’d be willing to spend 20 years looking for a nightmare bee is if my mission were to, upon finding it alive, kill it with fire. Just bring a flamethrower with me and burn the nightmare fuel of a creature along with the nest it was found in, collateral damage be damned.
 
Of course, since it is a bee, it might not necessarily be immediately hostile like wasps are, but still. One look at this thing and I can’t help but want to kill it off.
 
In any case, let’s get down to the reason I am even talking about this at all. As the title suggests, I am adamant in explaining the simple fact that nature always finds a way.
 
Beyond the fact-less narratives of the Left when it comes to climate change, it is simply a ludicrous thought that humanity could cause harm to the climate this much, even when it “tries” to do the opposite (I put that word in quotation marks because it’s clear to me countries still participating in the Paris Climate Accord don’t actually care about the environment if their CO2 emissions are still as bad as they are).
 
Man has the power to do a lot of evil and a lot of damage, but not this much, not without nuclear weapons.
 
In a previous article, I talked about how if you tasked me with destroying the planet without nuclear weapons, I would not be able to. Despite however much gas we may be emitting, the polar ice caps aren’t melting like Al Gore and the other idiots are telling us. You need only think of the time when TWO ships were stranded in the South Pole back in 2014 to see how bogus of an argument that is. Those ships were stranded because the assumption was that there was less ice in the area than there actually was.
 
Not to mention that if you look at an image of the planet in a time lapse, you can see the ice caps GROWING not receding.
 
So whatever damage the Left says we are doing to the planet is simply not true. Which is why I would not be able to destroy the planet without nukes. What is thought to be destroying the planet now is certainly not doing it, so how else would I be able to?
 
But even if you do want to continue with the notion that we are destroying the planet, or at least not doing our best to help it, the fact is that nature still finds a way to survive.
 
Look at Chernobyl as an example. The Chernobyl disaster occurred on April 26th, 1986, with subsequent evacuations happening over the next few days (not immediately because communism).
 
I won’t go into detail about the level of radiation that was released by the accident because it’s a lot of technical words that might confuse some people, but there was a lot of radiation that was released.
 
All that we really need to know about this is that Live Science says that the region surrounding the nuclear power plant won’t be habitable for humans for at least 20,000 years. Which, I honestly find odd because they also say that “thriving populations of wolves, deer, lynx, beaver, eagles, boar, elk, bears and other animals have been documented in the dense woodlands that now surround the silent plant.”
 
Of course, this isn’t to say that people literally can’t go there, since my 8th grade science professor actually went there but literally had to burn the clothes he wore on his trip. Still, I don’t suggest anyone try and live in the area any time soon.
 
In any case, my point is that Chernobyl currently has “thriving populations” of different kinds of animals with minimal signs of radiation effects apart from a few stunted trees. Aside from that, if you look at pictures of Chernobyl, you will find a lot of areas where nature is growing even inside some buildings.
 
So despite the terrible radioactive accident of Chernobyl, nature found a way to survive the radioactive area. Despite our CO2 emissions, nature finds a way to get HEALTHIER. And despite whatever else we may be doing to nature, long-thought-extinct creatures can pop up again.
 
Now, I doubt we’ll ever see a dodo bird again, much as I would love to see one, but nature always finds a way to survive because nature’s God is the one in control. He gets to decide what animal survives, what animal thrives and what animal dies.
 
He gets to decide what happens to the polar ice caps. He gets to decide what happens in the event of nuclear accidents (or even nuclear war).
 
The thought that man can destroy the planet stems from unbelief in God, who controls the planet and the universe. This particularly is among the reasons I seriously doubt Pope Francis’ faith. He supposedly believes in God, who created the universe, but does not believe God is currently in control of the climate of the planet? He believes man can do anything to override whatever God does or wants?
 
What sort of faith is that?
 
God is the one who decides that the giant tortoise is still around. He is the one that decides that Wallace’s Giant Bee is still around (for a reason that currently escapes me, but I won’t question Him).
 
So nature always finds a way solely because God is the one who dictates what happens in nature and the way it works. It is asinine to claim we are killing the planet when A) there’s no actual evidence to support that and B) we don’t have the power to override God’s work.
 
Again, the only way I can see to destroy the planet (and even then, the planet would still be around, but most humans and animals likely wouldn’t be) is through the use of nuclear weapons. And like I said, God still dictates what would happen even if humanity foolishly were to destroy itself.
 
1 Chronicles 29:11
“Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.”
