Democrats don't care about aborted babies the same way Republicans don't care about gun violence victims. I do think Democrats care about babies and Republicans about gun violence victims, but ultimately they care more about a right (abortion, or 2nd amendment). The right outweighs the deaths. However, it is true there are way more abortions than gun violence victims.

Ok but we are talking about two different rights here, different situations. Abortion is taking away the right of the pre-born child to live. That's murder. Now I know women have been told since the 70s it's their body, but it's 2022 out there and we know that isn't true. So again, abortion is taking away a persons right to live.

Now when we talk about gun rights, the right are being taken away from legal owners who are not breaking the law. Not one legal owner killed one of those 19 children. Had most legal owners been there they would have saved or tried to save the lives of those little ones. So no, your comparison isn't fair, not at all, when you think it through.

Governments around the world have traumatized their citizens intentionally for the last 3 years, some citizens are reacting to this by committing terrible crimes, the governments who are causing the trauma now want to disarm the remaining law abiding citizens, it's all part of the devils plan, Christians are supposed to know better as they hear the voice of God and not lean on their own understanding.https://www.bitchute.com/video/5ueOTOcyeWI6/
You left out the part about the sky falling and aliens conspiring with the government. Also missing is any mention of the lizard people.

And there is no way I'm going to take the word of anybody on that scare tactic website. That place is profiting by feeding people's fear.

With regard to any particular news outlet website, what matters the most is whether or not the site is putting forth the full and complete total honest truth - free of charge. (not trying to profit from it)

If it is in fact doing that - and, you just think it is "scare tactics" (because you can't handle the truth that what is being reported really is happening in the world) - then, that is your problem...

(and, it adds to everyone else's problems)

And, when I say 'you', I mean anyone in general - it is not my intent to target you specifically with this statement.

I will agree that there is a lot of "bad news", "bad science", etc. out there. But, there are also way too many people out there that just can't bring themselves to believe and understand that the 'authorities' of the world are not trustworthy and that more "grass roots" solutions are now necessary to keep any part of the world sane.

We cannot just "trust the government and let them take care of it" - as a people, we have been doing that for way to long - and, never should have without proper oversight to make sure that it would not "run amuck" while we are not looking...

Very well said Gary, much is required of each of us who are watching and waiting, and our Creator who knows the end from the beginning knew each of us would be here at this time and requires of us that we find and walk out His plan for each of us and His kingdom, the rest, well, they pretty much act like post #122.
Judas himself knew Christ and received as the rest , yet we know the result of his decisions.
bless you brother.

Ben Franklin, "we have given you a republic, IF you can keep it", we have failed in many areas, forsaking the leadership and abundance He provided and squandered it on the temporal, yet, there is a remnant, and God ALWAYS works through a remnant, as it is never the majority who will find His plan and walk it out.
bless you brother, in Jesus name

While everything you have said is in general true, none of it applies to this situation. I checked that site before I made my reply. It does nothing but pander to the people who want to believe the things it is peddling. It is for extreme conservatives what Hillary Clinton is for extreme liberals.

If anybody tried to say anything about the fair, balanced truth, he would immediately get shouted out of the room. Nobody cares about the truth there. They are all too interested in getting high on fear.

The website may be guilty of profiting from fear, that does not mean it's all false. I've never been on the site. But I, as a skeptic, spent about 3 years of my life looking into conspiracy's against humanity. I've learned quite a bit about how people's minds work, the occult, and the ancient religions.
Symbols like.... eyes, checker patterns, spirals, butterflies, pandas, triangles, stars, lightning bolts, unicorns, double pillers.

Topics like... Bohemian Grove, mk ultra, operation paperclip, satanic-ritual-abuse, 9/11, cloud seeding, Jekyll Island, The Protocols of The Learned Elders of Zion, The Georgia guide stones

People like.... Aleister Crowley, Rasputin, Ishtar, Tammuz, The Morgan's, Rockefeller's, Vanderbilt's, Rothschild's.

An accusation of "profiting from fear" may be the delusional rantings of a troubled mind to keep people from taking information to the Lord for His guidance, as we have be commanded to do for a couple thousand years.

As an outside observer, I wish to offer some advice on how to minimise the incidence of school shootings in the US. Since it is obvious that Americans will not disarm, there has to be an alternative. I suggest the following:

  • Security fencing/razor wire, around every school.
  • Bulletproof glass in every window.
  • Armed guards at the sole entrance to school grounds.
  • National Guardsmen based at all schools with more than 50 pupils.
  • All teachers to be armed, and given appropriate training.
  • Airport style security scanners at each school.
This is not the answer to mass shootings, of course. Since any psycho can get an AR15 equivalent, it's only a matter of time until the next rampage. However, at least your children will be safe.

Interesting statistics: when the constitution was written to include the right to bear arms, the firing rate was around 3-4 rounds a minute. AR15 something like 45 rounds a minute. AR15 has a lethal range of around 500 metres. Old style weapons maybe 150 metres. It's good to know that technology has made everything so much more efficient.
I have a way less expensive alternative!

If it were true, I would think they needed help. Are they okay?

I disagree. Revival costs everything - pride, arrogance, self will, selfishness, selfish ambition, laziness, have to go. Humility and that terrible curse word, obedience, have to take their place. Revival is and always has been conditional. How many Christians are prepared to pay that price? I've not met too many and I've yet to see anything resembling revival in the so-called Christian countries.

America has seen great revivals, not "church" renewals, but actual revivals back in the day. I believe everything you mentioned will go when a true revival hits.

He ALWAYS works through a remnant, never a majority who will be His, according to the last page of the Bible there will be a remnant through whom He will show Himself strong as He fulfills His plan to redeem the Creation.

Your disagreement is based what I perceive as an assumption on your part that I'm talking about "cost" in a way that supposes that I believe that personal revival is NOT very sacrificial. On the contrary, I believe that personal revival is us "embracing the Cross" of our Lord, Jesus. He calls us all in Jesus to "come and die".

My comment points to the historical reality that significant historical revivals, worldwide, cost quite a bit less than all political or social justice attempts at solving these social problems.
