The Saudi Ambassador to the UN has just finished giving a speech, and walks out into the lobby where he meets President Bush. They shake hands, and as they walk, the Saudi says, "You know, I have one question about America."
President Bush says "Well, your Excellency, anything I can do to help you, I will do." The Saudi whispers, "My son watches this show Star Trek', and in it there are Russians, and Blacks, and Asians, but never any Arabs. He is very upset. He doesn't understand why there are never any Arabs in Star Trek."
President Bush laughs and leans toward the Saudi, and whispers back, "It's because it takes place in the future...."
I started my career as a 10 year old paper boy delivering that rag on my dirt bike.
Unless individual islamic adherents free themselves from this unholy creation of satan, they deserve everything they've got coming.
America is the hammer sent by Allah to smash the apostasies of the false mullahs, and if this means the Arabs sink into obscurity or even extinction, that would be the judgment wrought. For they must have a serious genetic defect, if that belief in the rightness of their cause means they should not suffer retribution for their assault on the shining ideal of mankind that is the soul of the United States.
Islam sucks! Now come n' get me you b*stards!
200 years from now, I want their children's children's children's children to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead because their legends tell of fire from the sky.
I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth, shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.
I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with "If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you", and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obesience.
I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea .. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.
THere is a hierarchy of laws in religion, however people pick and choose without checking if what they pick respects the hierarchy. For example, Islam's forbiding of making pictures of God or people is always hypocriticaly broken in their anti-semitic articles and descriptions of God and Islam. The sheer popularity of idolatry in Islam is incredible.
When religion should have a calming influence, it has a dispiriting influence....
And of course, secular liberals too swarm in such hateful idolatry and descriptions. They claim religion should be defined as to support material feelings (calming effects? Opium of the people? Prozac?), while religion is a dissociation from the leverages that great powers could yield in complete despise or hatred of individuals considered more sinful.
To see muslims stepping on women's face by force and gregarious sexist ideology is just as bad as submitting people to feelings for other ends. It just does not free people from concrete leverages. What are these idiots liberals thinking? Muslims do repress women through such feelings. And liberals do repress people through feelings for "sinless" women or children (It's for the children! Anyone?)
Religion is service for God, feeding God back what He gave us. That is it. It is a personal duty, for if it were to be organised, who is to say that the entity ordering a form of feeding God would be less of a sinner than the congregant - implying the organiser would make the congregant sin? The bottom line is that in the end, it is a very personal responsibility. And though this charitable attitude or respect towards God implies charitable acts and acts of charitable proselytism, such business is very controvertial.
The final question of every devout person, IMHO, is how can I return the favor to God? Jews sacrificed sheeps, and, apparently, it was not enough, because through sheep sacrifice they held other things from God. They gave God the bad parts and the priests ate the good parts. Prayer and ideas are what was instituted that God needed. Instead of feeding on ideology and priestly charlatanism, people were requested to feed God ideology - as a child pleasantly making a drawing to his father or mother. Still today we are suffering from ideologues such as Mullahs, liberals, communists and whatever other idea consumer out there.
So quiet secret prayers, for God only, really becomes central, though prayers aloud do develop within the community prayer themes. In the end, humble prayers in the quiet of the night, for others, if not, for God only, without any after thought of wish to feed from God or anything, is the most effective prayer, again, IMHO, for I want not to make others sin either.
Then, last but not least, if we can feed God jurisdiction, then God can come amongst us. This is the last hurdle that we are not even reaching yet. The world right now is fighting over ideology, more so than over materials. It has not even reached the level goal of fighting over jurisdiction in order to give hope to God's jurisdiction and self-applied miracles to happen. That is, this is what I think, for I do not think there are more goals after this, but, who knows, we may become others.
