• How Can God Let Tragedies Like the Okla. Tornado Exist? Pastors Weigh In

  May 21, 2013 at 9:56pm

  We know there is both good and evil in the world, so why do so many blame the good for the bad things that happen? That seems to all the more confirm there is evil in the world wanting to tarnish the good.
  If you were to create advance beings, you have to start somewhere and that starts with children, our own, and people as children of God. We know there is bad in the world, we know it is unfair and that is what it is. But in fact, you need evil to compare to goodness, relative in measure. For children to learn how to deal with evil, the bad things in life and overcome such. To experience how to deal with discern the differences, understand and most importantly, create the experience and soul for the individual to choose which path, by free will, they are going to themselves take, good or evil.

  You don’t spoil your kids, don’t protect them from everything, you let them learn, sometimes get hurt, learn to deal with hurt and tragedy and to mature to decide how they are going to view life and deal with life. The strongest tend to deal with the most diversity, and as a loving parent, sometimes you have to let such things happen. You try to guide, you give opportunities to search for answers but ultimately, the individual themselves guide their own destinies to the extent and capabilities. Sometimes, the greatest tragedies those that seem not to have sense to them, are relevant in knowing some things just are out of our control and we are meant to not have all the an

• University Will Investigate Christian Professor’s Intelligent Design Class Following Atheist Furor

  May 20, 2013 at 9:53pm

  Having both studies such on a scientific basis and a theological basis, I have come to the conclusion you have to have more faith with science than intelligent design. Science does not have the answers on the formation of organic material, amino combinations can only be produced in lab experiments in conditions that cannot exist in nature. Even to get past that, it does not explain the complexities of the next steps of RNA and DNA combinations and formation for life forms. That information and the complexities are so involved, there is no scientific explanation to that next step.

  Its the equivalent of saying a tornado can go through a junkyard and randomly assemble a fully functional 747 ready for flight given you have enough tornadoes and junkyards. For one life form, you are talking about 30 encyclopedia volumes of information in RNA and DNA. We can’t get past the formation of organic matter yet. Given the diversity of life, again, you have to have more faith with science than accept the fact there was an intelligent designer behind the forms of life we have on this planet. The precision is so utterly fantastic, so mathematically breathtaking, it is silly to think it could have been an accident. Anyone that denies debate does so because they know with science and facts they lose any truly rational debate. The only means to win their other with their point of view is to silence the other and demean them.

  He may have loss that track meet with that gesture, but he won the most important race of all. It is all the perspective of where you view the final finish line to be.

  Never ever be ashamed to say you support your core values, principles and faith.
  Our society is dying because so many do so to be politically correct and that is the downfall of this nation and it’s people.

• April’s Unemployment Numbers Are in: Here’s What You Need to Know

  In reply to Jeff Bassett.

  It is the “legal” administration of this government. That is, it is the recognized government by the rest of the governing US officials bodies and the electorate. That is of course with that noting that every state that had voter ID , Obama lost and that every state that did not have voter ID had huge fraud and unbelievable results in many counties that would make any Marxist proud.

  But the matter of the fact is, that despite an incredibly poor economy, international breakdowns with allies, policies that have destabilized the middle east, multiple terrorist attacks in the US, job loss, uncontrollable spending and deficits, the destruction of our military, anti-Semite and anti-Christian policies attacks here in the US and abroad, sanctioned support of terrorist organizations, multiple scandals, anti-business policies, immigration reform also know as illegally padding the votes for his party, social division sponsored by the democrats such as the wall street protest while bailing out corrupt wall street to cause further division, erosion of constitutional rights and laws, corruption, and a host of other fraudulent actions by this administration…

  The people at large, our nation’s electorate was foolish enough to re-elect Obama at a close enough margin election fraud could make the difference to put him back in office.
  That unfortunately makes this administration as legal as recognized by all the other “legal” acts pushed by our ever evolving living 2 party

  Edit: it should read over 100 million jobs eliminated from the market since this administration started. not just 1 million.

  Over 300,000 jobs eliminated, zapped, disappeared, written off, no longer existing in America, this month to keep the unemployment number below 8%. Over 101 million since this administration started.

  They eliminated another 300,000 jobs this month in order to keep the unemployment rate noted at 7.5%. Since the Obama administration has come into office, they have erased and eliminated 1 million jobs from the overall market to keep this number under 8%. That means that in the last 8 years, close to 1 million people cannot find a job because they do not exist any longer. You do have some retirement and attrition numbers but that also does not take into account high school and college employees entering into the job market.
  Further, the overall loss of jobs is not being reported, which is much much higher than those created. So as long as 1 person gets a job somewhere in the country for at least a few hours, this administration is ready to say there has been job growth.
  More over, at the current rate of “growth”, it will take over a thousand years to employ those currently looking for employment.

  Given during the election, Obama noted Job growth was the prime issue and now, gun control, war with North Korea, defending himself from his gun running in the middle east, spending more money with the latest budget, sequestration and keeping his ability to keep on partying and take vacations during these critical times has left no time for any real job creation policies. In fact every policy he has initiated has been anti-business and raising overall business regulation and cost.

  This administration has been a terrible nightmare on the nation’s economy.

• Twinkies Are Back! (But Guess Who’s ‘Not Expected to be Involved’ Going Forward)

  In reply to benkhanobe.

  Actually, it was a very foolish decision to vote no. It was a member lead up decision and that on top of some very bad past mismanagement lead to the downfall. Hostess could have possibly recovered but the newer management came into a company severely underwater and with obligations to the unions that would have made it very difficult at best to recover.

• Knife-Wielding Pakistani Bus Driver Attempts to Rape Female U.S. Navy Sailor — Ends Up Getting Beat Up and Locked in a Stranglehold Instead

  In reply to notsurewhatshappeninghere.

  She was smart and kept her head. If she had killed the man, it would have been an international incident with sever repercussions and a trail in a culture that does not respect or even acknowledge women as human but as inhuman property. That could have been a disaster in itself. She handles the situation with the forethought of what such added actions could bring. That is the ultimate sign she was intelligent to think and keep her wits about her through the situation and afterwards.

  Kudos to her.

• Conn. Father’s Stunning Claim: Son’s School Is Teaching That Americans Don’t Have the Right to Bear Arms

  April 9, 2013 at 9:32pm

  Show him the federalist papers # 46. It absolutely shows the founding fathers wanted the citizens to have guns.

  “Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation , the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments of the several kingdoms of Europe , which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms .”
  Let us not insult the free and gallant citizens of America with the suspicion that they would be less able to defend the rights of which they would be in actual possession than the debased subjects of arbitrary power would be to rescue theirs from the hands of their oppressors. Let us rather no longer insult them with the supposition that they can ever reduce themselves to the necessity of making the experiment by a blind and tame submission to the long train of insidious measures which must precede and produce it.”
