Amen
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
Well put.
I’m sorry about the fella, but despair is a sin. No matter how bad things are socio-politically, we can receive Faith, Hope, and Love through the Holy Spirit, and we can live Faith, Hope, and Love in any circumstances.
I just love it when freepers would rather play games of gotcha over typos...than engage in meaningful dialogue...
I do suppose however that sending Jesus to pay for our sins was actually akin to sending in the cavalry...only the sacrifice occurred at calvary!
Great article, thoughtless, ignorant comments.
Venner’s death will have but one reaction — Muslims will be high-fiving each other.
Venner did not accomplish what he had hoped for. Sadly enough, he will be forgotten tomorrow.
He loved Christianity merely as a cultural idea. Which means he missed the point of Christ entirely.
When I read that, I had a sudden image of the Lord on horseback...then had to quickly repent of impious and blasphemous thoughts.
Yep. There are many who would rather a holy temple be used for satanic rites than burned to prevent its abuse.
Make that “be permanently turned over for satanic rites”, rather that “used”. Used implies that it could be recaptured.
I am living in France.
I heard about his suicide, and immediatley questioned anyone’s claim to “a culture”.
So, picture Notre Dame, in Paris.
Pretty much takes up the entire skyline, based off what angle you are viewing it from, right?
Now...picture a mosque, BIGGER than Notre Dame, being built directly adjacent to it...like it or not, that’s what’s gonna happen...look it up.
I don’t support or endorse suicide, at all, but they guy’s got a point, OK? An affront to history is an affront to history.
To me, there was instantly and undercurrent to this story that wasn’t covered at all.
Either this man had homosexual children who were being led astray or a homosexual wife who was choosing to live with another woman rather than with him.
Very sad story.
Why did you post this? The article has faulty thinking from beginning to end.
**they would have complained about the vintage and given everyone a dissertation on their knowledge of how the weather affects wine.**
LOL! So true.
1. He was French.
2. What kind of arrogance would one possess to comit such an act of sacrilege and force his act on the rest of us?
Bad enough he took his own life but, as far as I’m concerned good riddance
The Right, especially the "Palaeo" Right, is full of this type of subjective ethnolatry. Venner's words show that, like any liberal atheist, his ideals were mere groundless constructs of his own mind and his own choosing.
Unfortunately, it is ingrained into us to think of various ethno-cultures creating various religions from their own unique worldviews and that this conflict is the heart of everything that happens on earth. Not to sound like a liberal, but in reality we really are a single race, descended from Adam and Eve, with a single Objective Moral Code from the One True Objective G-d. What we need is not the triumph of this civilization or that one, but for all mankind to commit to G-d and His Laws.
European Rightwingery in a nutshell!
And we have a lot of "civilizationist" palaeocons here in the US who are just like them.
I shudder for France and pray for Paris. Sparks come in many ways.
