  • @CapnCrumbles32 “Examine the lifestyle and behaviors of someone you are receiving advice from.” Pat Robertson makes very unbiblical statements. This controversy is just the latest. Pat’s life doesn’t stand up under scrutiny.
    The headline IS accurate. Pat’s statement “males have a tendency to wander a little bit” followed by the idea that women should control this by their behavior at home is a blanket one that shows a total lack of biblical thinking. BOTH men and women are flawed and tempted to sin. NEITHER gender gets an excuse from the Bible or from God.
    Pat disregards the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation. Yes, she should forgive her husband, not accept his behavior. He needs to take steps to rebuild the trust he threw away. Forgiveness is an act of the will by a person who has been wronged, totally independent of whether the one who does wrong ever asks for forgiveness. In contrast, relationship rebuilding takes two people who recognize underlying issues and take steps to fix the real problems. This lady’s final sentence shows a desire to “get on with our lives”. Is that from her, or is it a weapon of her husband to demand she accept his wrong actions?
    The Blaze did not take something “‘harmless” and make it a big deal. Pat’s statement is totally against what God says about marriage. You think the Blaze is bad? Read the New Testament and see what Jesus said about people who claim to represent God but teach things contrary to His word.

  • I don’t understand how asylum was a stretch in the first place. Being forced to violate your religious convictions or lose your children is a pretty clear example of persecution.

  • These families gave up the right to keep their “private” business private when they decided to support their SEAL family members while those SEALs were still alive. Ever heard of security clearance investigations? Ever heard of how families lives are at risk when current politicians open their big mouths and out the identities of SEAL team members? These family members are carrying on the defense of our country that their SEALs gave their lives to defend. They have already sacrificed so much that they deserve to have their views treated with respect. So sad that the families were upset by any of the funeral arrangements! Read the article. According to the lawyer, this imam was simply the last straw.

  • Your comment shows a lack of understanding of how the military functions. Like many who have commented, you did not mention that one of the examples specifically mentioned a chaplain. Mr. Weinstein obviously does know the difference between a general officer and the chaplaincy. Chaplains, who are all officers, are governed by the doctrine of the denomination that sponsors them. They have the right to preach accordingly, otherwise no soldier could actually worship according to their beliefs.
    If Mr. Weinstein was sincere, he would be going after Major Nidal Hassan, who is in open violation of Army grooming regulations by wearing a beard. Many other Muslim service members abide by the grooming standards. Pardon me if I am a little skeptical of how equally these “proselytizing” standards will be applied. Oh wait, that is because the current standards already are not.

  • Puerto Ricans are citizens. Do your research before lumping all brown skinned people together. Evil is a universal human problem. That is why justice is supposed to be blind, as in equally applied to everyone.

  • @ Zorro
    Your ignorant remarks about poor people are classist and wrong. I grew up dirt poor. Poor as in the utilities got shut off and we rarely could afford to eat meat. This lawless behavior is a minority problem. More specifically, a black minority problem in the United States. Not because blacks are somehow inferior, but because liberal welfare policies starting with the Great Society have decimated the family unit in black communities. Welfare has created an attitude of entitlement. Liberal policies keep the black kids with a desire to learn and their black single parents who actually care trapped in these schools.
    I grew up in just such a neighborhood. I got a great education because my mom homeschooled me rather than see me in danger at school. Homeschooling is not an option for poor single parents. I did well in college and the Military because my parents taught me responsibility and respect. Black children are fed a poisonous diet of “everybody is against you” and therefore automatically attribute the normal difficulties of life to racism. Most have no family or cultural unit to model the kinds of manners and attitudes required to succeed in the business world.
    My husband is a minority. He gets tired of other members of that group thinking he will favor them and change the standards at work for them. A categorical problem exists in our society. Thinking the problem is an inherent part of an ethnic group and unchangeable is racist. Stating present reality isn’t.

  • Your comments and some of the responses to them made me think about the gender difference in how to respond. As a mother of small children, any person who breaks into my house with my car and toddler car seat visible in my driveway will be shot. Yes it is a horrible position to be in. I hope I never have to make that kind of move. However, if someone chooses to break into my house, they already made the decision to put me in danger. I am not going to wait to see if they are “just” a burglar or are a rapist. I don’t really care about the laws. I will accept the consequences of protecting myself and my children. The law hasn’t done much to protect women, especially victims of rape and domestic violence. Thanks, but I will take care of myself and let the police take care of the body.

  • She showed what an idiot she is. Hello, black is the absence of light in the color world. That makes black the perfect color to show absences of knowledge in a piece of art. The way this woman treated these kids shows her for what she really is, a bully. Color is not really the issue at all.

  • God had some pretty strong words for those who like to put themselves in His place and judge others. Mental illness is a complex problem. Sometimes it springs from behavioral and spiritual choices. However, sometimes it is simply a result of the reality that the human brain has fallen under the curse of sin that began with Adam and Eve. How about we leave the judging to the only just Judge and start obeying the hard command to love sinners without loving sin.

  • Third Acorn, you are a fool. If the tiring demands of an unborn baby on a mother’s body are sufficient reason to kill the child, I should definitely be permitted to murder my toddler. There are a lot of people that make my life unpleasant. If I can’t get away from them without killing them, according to your logic I should be able to do so. The one point of debate that matters and thus the one that abortion supporters refuse to address is “when is the baby a human being?”. It is way too ugly to admit the willingness to kill for the sake of making one’s own life easier.
