Someone left a crucifix with a figure of Jesus on it leaning against the fence surrounding a mosque. This is being investigated as a hate crime, and people are being encouraged to turn in the person guilty of this "crime". http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/...sus-hate-crime/

What is the world coming to?
You know -- the season is coming when I feel rather uncomfortable walking along the streets, where houses and public places are "decorated" with pictures, or air filled decorations of skeletons, headless horsemen, witches, ghosts, dismembered parts of people or animals, pumpkins with hideous smiles. etc etc.
Yes, I and other Christians feel very uncomfortable when our communities fill up with these things. But no one worries about that -- why it's only bigoted people who would find that offensive -- right???
Yet, put up pictures of Jesus, or a nativity scene and suddenly it is a "crime" against humanity?

Imagine this spirit completely unleashed after a huge natural or economic disaster with the media doing its usual blaming of conservative/Christian thought. These things we see today are only a small foretaste of what is coming. Then it will be violence instead of turning someone into the police. The SDA church has to me always blamed the wrong side of the political spectrum for what is coming. It is the left that is in favor of destroying anyone who disagrees with it, not the conservative/libertarian side of politics.

I was surprised to find this in New York. Shouldn't the police immediately dismiss this and find something more worthwhile to investigate? Such as those Muslims for building a mosque.... That's quite hateful if using the same rules.

The liberals play the part of destroying anyone who believes religion. The conservatives play the part of destroying anyone who doesn't believe the way they do. It doesn't matter who wins elections. They both are on the wrong side. While there are individuals of each who stand for freedom and liberty, they will be eliminated.

Would you consider the papacy conservative or liberal? The current pope is a socialist. That said, the papacy has always had a conservative slant to it, but what has it been trying to conserve? It's own power, wealth, and influence. Everything it does has it's own agenda, and that agenda is itself. It has, thus, been all over the map politically, economically, etc....
