The more I see just how ridiculously opulent these adult children’s homes are the less I care if they get destroyed.

I know as a Christian that is wrong, I just can’t gin up pity though for people who hate me and now want my sympathy that they can’t live the good life for a few months (let’s face it for most it will only be an inconvenience) off the backs of others.

Tired of the media treating them like royalty and somehow they warrant mope pity than the hard working common folk in the average neighborhood destroyed out there.

“I know as a Christian that is wrong,”
________________________________________

Who sold you that bill of bad goods???

Never, ever, have we been instructed to feel sorry for those who dabble in evil and gain earthly goods.

NEVER.

What we are told is to not to CELEBRATE it.

There is such a distinction between the two statements.

And so many Christians undermine the True Faith when they go off in that direction.

Who to feel sorry for?
Innocents killed under those evil doers...and those innocents would be:
1. Children who could not vote for their own safety.
2. Adults who, not of their own fault, are depending upon other for their care.
3. Animals who were not provided good stewardship. This would NOT be the ‘smelts,’ excuse, mind you. Animal abuse is the issue here.
4. Adults who voted for sensible, thinking, honest people who wish to protect the American citizen and or the American political process with which we have been blessed.
5. Adults who do not have the mental or physical capacity to vote for sensible, thinking, honest people who wish to protect the American ceitizen and or the American political process with which we have been blessed.

Who am I opposed to feeling sorry for?
1. Liberals.
2. Weak minded Conservatives who voted for evil out of wishing to gain something for themselves.
3. Illegals who are in this country as by their very actions they have shown they are only to able and willing to violate American laws.
4. Children who are illegals: A subgroup because while being addressed as being ‘carried’ into this country, I will not allow feelings to excuse any action caused by adults.

The list is pretty clear and the reasonings are easy to understand.

I was so far Liberal at a time in my life that Hillary Clinton would have been a Conservative in my book.

Don’t ask. You really , REALLY wouldn’t want to know....

It’s why I think in black and white in this issue.

With sin and all it’s implications, causations, and everything in between, there’s got to be an understanding.

Sure you can. Add a little tonic water if you prefer and you'll warm up to them after a few.

OH. One more thought.

We ARE told to not celebrate the destruction to those who wish to cause evil, OR the LORD God will turn His eyes (Justice) away from them.

Personally, I don’t wish people death. I would rather they become believers in the Salvation of Jesus Christ.

I can willingly, and cheerfully wish they be placed in situations where they no longer can cause evil to be done to others.

The rest is in the LORD God’s hands.

I’m probably going to be banned because of my strong views.

I'm in accord with you sentiments. Hanks means nothing to me. Nothing.

The Palisades are getting a lot of attention, of course, but the houses in Altadena which have burned are pretty ordinary.
