I always enjoy Jamestown 1630’s posts. Not.

>> Third, what are they prepared to do? Nothing? Thought so.

You think yourself wise... but you don’t really know sh!t about what Christians are preparing to do, and ARE doing, led by Christ.

“Thought so”, you say. Go on “thinking”, soul man. “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools...”

I may be wrong.

No, I'm pretty sure that's right. The Greeks try to claim they invented everything. Aristotle, Aristotle, was a bugger for the bottle...

This year’s games have been billed as the first “gender equal” Olympics. What that means is that men and women will have 50-50 representation in competition. Said another way, there will be the same number of male athletes as there are female athletes. This has been billed as a major sign of “progress.”

Wait..... What????

They got away with saying there's only TWO genders?

What about recognizing all 57 varieties?

“Who invented the Olympics?”

It was probably the greeks, but the modern pageantry that is on display and has been since the 30s it was largkey put in place by the Nazi’s. Hitler loved pageantry...

[WWW] “When the idea of a symbolic fire was introduced during the 1928 Summer Olympics, an employee of the Electric Utility of Amsterdam lit the first symbolic flame in the Marathon Tower of the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam.”

After Mexico City... when it all became a political catastrophe I quit watching all that garbage.

Ahh. The Puritans. Burning a poor woman at the stake. Maybe they could recreate that for the Christians at the Paris Olympics.
Ya know. Fair is fair. LOL! Don't wanna leave anybody out.

Is that the venue for competition in buggery?

Don’t get me wrong, I am all for Zeus and Apollo, but those gods and all the rest ran out of gas many centuries ago. Offerings and prayers are not going to bring them back. They now reside on other planets where they get proper respect. See https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0708488/
