Well, to be fair it was Adams’ hatred of slavery which the Arabic trade was, in part, responsible for bringing to America that led to his strongly anti-Islamic views.
They still practice slavery.
Any currently LIVING ex presidents speaking out against Islam? Other than to call it, dishonestly, the ‘religion of peace’?
That’s not a job, it’s a joyous experience.
Uhmmm.....no.
They’re all calling Islam the religion of peace.
Makes you wonder where their loyalty really lies...
Who says the two can never coincide, bro?
Well, the way I look at it they’re either ignorant and stupid, or they’re evil.
But where the rubber meets the road, it doesn’t matter which is the case. The bloody result is exactly the same.
I personally think either stupid or bought with Saudi money.
If I had to guess either way I’d lean to the latter.
Can God exist without Satan?
I think, yes.
Can Satan exist without God?
I think, NO.
That is the classic Christian theological view, and excellent arguments can be made for it.
Evil is what God had originally intended for goodness supplied from Him (Satan was once the righteous Lucifer, prior to human history) gone selfish, and thus gone wrong.
Evil leads to ignorant and stupid.
That’s true.
It’s hard to see how that can’t be a factor.
They don’t want to confess the danger with which the west has flirted. It is the grace of God, not Islamic religious logic, that keeps the entirety of the population of Islam from dissolving into rabid fury.
A religion of peace? More like a religion of rabid war, but whose practitioners have, to a very large extent, had their fury dampened down through other, unseen spiritual power (I unabashedly peg this on the real God).
Not necessarily. It may mean that Ishmaelites as individuals have trouble getting along with anyone.

No one I know, dude.
I loved my job before I finally retired.
I also love Jesus, I just don’t consider that a job.
Of course, the 1st Amendment protects our freedom to worship however we choose.
So if it’s a job for you, by all means have at.
Maybe this is to put down the idea of job, just sayin’.
Recast it as a Jesus mission and the job becomes at the least a bit easier to stomach. It ain’t about your personal glory, and if you fail or everyone gets all upset at you, God has the next place for you to go.
Such people love their jobs, but as an act of will. They embrace it into an embrace that already exists between them and the Lord. The result is blessings. It never was promised to be shangri-la, but it can turn out a lot nicer than anticipated anyhow.
Bttt.

What? You don’t like what I said? Tough nuts, bub.
