Comments? Logical flaws?

It seems to me we are rapidly approaching the times of ancient Rome...when Christians could not serve in the military, as soldiers were all required to swear an oath to the Emperor, calling him a god.

Nobody ever argues that the past laws weren’t without merit. There were challenges and the arguments given for criminalizing and outlawing are fantastic.

Ancient Rome did not have a former ancient Rome to reflect on.

Capitulation is the only threat we face.

I agree. It’s a question I’m forced to ask myself. With America fully embracing evil, it arguably alters a plethora of lifelong stances I’ve had towards country itself. Do I really respect the military the same way I used to, since Obama faggotized it? No, I don’t. Would I be willing to give my life for my country the same way I used to throughout entire my adulthood? No, not really. Will I maintain the same amount of concern towards some ‘fag-marriage’ state were it the recipient of a 9/11-style attack? No, not at all.

Changes a lot of things for me, if America embraces this deviancy. Changes things to the very core.

Although I get, and agree, with your main point (the demise of America and the exultation of a sinful and depraved culture), I believe there were quite a few Christians in the Roman Army.
In the writings of Justin Martyr, there is a letter supposedly written by the Emperor Marcus Aurelius - who had launched many persecutions against Christians. He was stuck out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded angry Germanic (I repeat myself) tribes, and after his prayers to his gods had failed, he asked if there were any Christians amongst his troops so they could pray for help from their God. He was shocked (and 'irritated'), that there were many Christians amongst their numbers ... but when their prayers were answered, he put an end (albeit, only temporary) to the persecutions.

Below follows a copy of this letter which is just after Justin Martyr's First Apology, as contained in The Ante-Nicene Fathers, vol. I.

-------------------------------------------------

The Emperor Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, Germanicus, Parthicus, Sarmaticus, to the People of Rome, and to the sacred Senate, greeting!

I explained my plan to you and what advantages I had gained on the borders of Germany after much labor and suffering. Due to the circumstances of this war, I was surrounded by the enemy in Carnuntum. 74 cohorts cut us off from help, being stationed 9 miles off.

Then the scouts pointed out to us that the enemy was at hand. Our general, Pompeianus showed us that a mixed multitude of 977,000 men was closing in on us, which we all could see. I was cut off by this vast host, and I had with me only a battalion composed of the first, tenth, double, and marine legions.

I examined my own position and my army, considered the vast mass of the barbarian enemy, and I quickly betook myself to prayer to the gods of my country. They disregarded me.

So I summoned those among us who go by the name of Christians. After some inquiry, I determined that there was a great number and vast host of them. When they appeared before me, I raged against them.

This was not appropriate, for afterwards I learned their power.

They began the battle not by preparing weapons or bugles. Such preparation is hateful to them because of the God they carry around in their conscience. We call them atheists, but it seems that they have a God as their ruling power in their conscience. I say this because they threw themselves on the ground and prayed not only for me, but for the whole army as it stood, so that they might be delivered from the present thirst and famine. For five days we had gotten no water because there was none. We were in the heart of Germany and in the enemy's territory.

As soon as they threw themselves on the ground and began praying to God—a God of whom I am ignorant—water poured from heaven. On us it was most refreshing and cool, but upon the enemies of Rome it was a withering hail.

We also immediately recognized the presence of a God after their prayer, a God unconquerable and indestructible.

Because of this, then, let us pardon such as are Christians, lest they pray for and obtain such a weapon against us! And I counsel that no such person be accused by our courts only on the ground of being a Christian.

If anyone is found laying to the charge of a Christian that he is a Christian, I desire that it be made clear that he who is accused is a Christian. If he acknowledges that he is one and is accused of nothing else, then whoever arraigns him should be burned alive.

I also desire that whoever is entrusted with the government of the province shall not compel the Christian, who confesses and certifies such a matter, to retract.

These things should be confirmed by a decree of the Senate.

I command that this my edict be published in the Forum of Trajan in order that it may be read. The prefect Vitrasius Pollio will also see that it is transmitted to all the provinces round about.

American is suppose to celebrate men who think having filthy, disease-ridden anal intercourse with other men is natural and worthy of celebration and pride.

I Don't Think So!

[Sanctimonious_Locke]

Two primary problems with this reasoning:

1) You imply that the government and it’s underlings will be protecting and supporting the homosexual agenda to the exclusion of all else, and

2) You are citing biblical andecdotes as evidence of an inevitable “Doom”. I’m not particularly religious, but I’m not exactly an athiest either. Whatever my — or your — personal feelings towards religion and it’s influence on culture growth, it must be reiterated that religion has no place in governance.

To support the ideals of one faith over any other would be unjust, and so no religious teaching should be considered in the creation of law. That was one of the founding principals of the American way.

Let America's sodomites revel in their celebrations ...

and let their "christian" and "liberal" and "libertarian" enablers revel with the sodomites as well.


America's judgement is coming ... imagine a "nation-wide-katrina" catastrophe, and you get the idea.

I lived in New Oleans for twenty years, leaving fifteen years before katrina desvastated the city.

New Orleans (circa 1970-1990) was EXACTLY what America is today ... the most wicked obscenities "smiled and winked-at" by a large percentage of citizens ...

and the few voices who declare that "this abhorrent evil must end" are pilloried and crucified in the public forums ...

and even in the so-called "christian" churches there are limp-wristed calls for "accomodation" and "compromise" with the sodomites.



Even in St. Petersburg Florida, whose mayor is a declared pro-life christian ... he SHAMEFULLY issues a "letter of invitation" to the vile sodomites that will parade today down the city's streets, flaunting their evil and depavity ...

and their bloody hatred against all things "Christian".



Meanwhile, I calmly look at my wristwatch to check the time, knowing that at some future moment, the vile and putrid "Gay-Sodomite Pride" and "Pro-Choice Child Murderer Rights" celebrations ...

broadcast on every American television screen by the "Sodomite-Gestapo News and Propaganda Ministry" ...

and celebrated by the evil Executive Management of American corporations like Home Depot and J.C. Penny ...

will someday be sharply contrasted with the sudden and violent and deadly destruction of these same "American Sodomites" and their foolish and vile supporters in America's so-called "christian churches".



And just to prove the point ... just as EVERYONE instinctively KNOWS that katrina was the "Righteous Judgement of The Almighty" against the Mississippi River's version of Sodom and Gomorrah ...

and that NO MAN's fingerprints were on the divine judgement against the putrid and vile "Crescent City" ...

only the divine fingerprints of The LORD whose mercy and patience had been exhausted over decades and decades by the New Orleans sodomites ...



Someday ... the horror of horrors ...to be repeated against the United States of America ?

the "once and lost" God-Honoring Land of the Free, Home of the Brave ...

to be transformed into a morally and financially corrupt cesspool, it's once free and proud citizens SUBJUGATED under the bloody hands of FOREIGN INVADERS (illegal immigrants) ...

a once mighty and proud and God-Honoring military sadly defeated in battle ...

and the Four-Daily calls to honor the "Child-Rapist Mohammed" be issued from their once proud and majestic church steeples ?



Who will rise to be the American "Charles Martel the Hammer" against the godless sodomites, illegal invaders, and islamic terrorists being brought by the Federal Government every year to live on America's shores ?
