Why are those things good?

Prosperity here could mean mass starvation everywhere else, or the world could be countried entirely by Nazicommie states but at least we aren't making war on them.

Well I suppose I'm talking about the actual world and not a hypothetical alternate world.

Haha what? Open a history book you dorks. Global poverty and deaths from malnutrition per capita have declined exponentially since the industrial revolution, which was primarily driven by western capitalist markets. Yes the rich got richer, and the poor also got richer. Try again.

Has a place ever been prosperous with a different way? I do prefer the way you prefer, but that's not the point.

I'm gonna go tell my cat about the Iraqi Baath party it's just as good as telling you.

I know quite a bit about the baath party. They were bad dudes, and taking them out was justified mainly because of their complete control over a major global oil pipeline. Oil = human prosperity.

So yes you got me sometimes wars are justified.

Again though when I say "actual world" I mean the current day, not 1980-2004

YOUR OPINION: Sparkle Creed

Quote:

Tom Ault, Jefferson City

Dear Editor,

It is 4 a.m. on Sunday; I could not sleep. In my many years on this earth, never have I been more inflamed over the works of some "supposed" ministers of God.

For as long as I can remember, I have attended church and recited the Apostles' Creed. This has been used as a cornerstone in my belief in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for many years. Whether the apostles recited it in the early churches is not known definitely, but we do know that it was written in Greek, around AD 341 by Marcellus of Ancyra and sent to Julius, the bishop of Rome.

While all religious sects do not use it in their church services, it is universally used in many today. For any church having the audacity to claim they are a Christian group (for instance the Emmanuel United Church of Christ in Louisville, Kentucky, and The Edina Community Lutheran Church in Minneapolis) and allow the writing of such a pathetic piece of trash like the Sparkle Creed to be used in a service praising our God is unforgivable. The apparent author is a Lesbian minister, Rachel Small Stokes, recently married to her lesbian partner.

The Edina Community Lutheran Church in Minneapolis posted this as part of a "Pride" LGBTQ+ service.

Quote:

"I believe in the non-binary God whose pronouns are plural. I believe in Jesus Christ, their child, who wore a fabulous tunic and had two dads and saw everyone as a sibling-child of God. I believe in the rainbow Spirit, who shatters our image of one white light and refracts it into a rainbow of gorgeous diversity. I believe in the church of everyday saints as numerous, creative and resilient as patches on the AIDS quilt, whose feet are grounded in mud and whose eyes gaze at the stars in wonder. I believe in the call to each of us that love is love is love, so beloved, let us love. I believe, glorious God. Help my unbelief."

I believe Catholic and Lutheran Christian believers should write to their leaders regarding the Catholic Future Church movement, and the Edina Lutheran Church in Minneapolis and their commitments. All of us should pray for these lost souls!
