Instead they succumb to their emotions or what propaganda they get through wherever they get their info. Hard to break through that feelings barrier when people get so invested in their beliefs.<br /><br />If BLM just came out blatantly as a political party alternative to Democrats then I'd have more respect for them. Instead they are trying to be an arbiter of morality that is deceiving a lot of gullible fools who don't want to appear to be racist. What a joke!<br /><br />I do think we are in those times of which you speak. If there will be a rapture then I'm expecting it to happen someday soon. Things are lining up more than ever. And the mask mandate seems like such a prelude to a mandatory mark to buy and sell. I'm on the edge of my seat because this movie is getting kind of exciting, but I'm ready for it to end.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-50731052679953398972020-07-09T09:16:15.682-07:002020-07-09T09:16:15.682-07:00I agree with your sentiments on this one, Lee.

I keep feeling like I'm living in some nightmare dystopian novel.

I guess statues, graves, and other structures have probably been defaced or destroyed in nearly every state. I'm shocked by some of the targets as there seems to no logical thought behind the actions. I think a lot of it is random anarchists who have no specific agenda other than chaos.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-69700611242609799522020-07-09T09:00:50.863-07:002020-07-09T09:00:50.863-07:00Cherdo, thank you, thank you!

And Communism is a fatally flawed, atheistic ideology that is responsible for murdering at least 100 million human beings - MORE than any other belief system in the history of the entire world.<br /><br />Certain people love to say things like "Religion is responsible for murdering many people". But those same ignoramuses can't seem to wrap their wee little pea-brains around the absolute FACT that the opposite of religion (i.e., atheism) has been responsible for murdering millions upon millions more people than all the religious sects in history - COMBINED - are responsible for!<br /><br />(And if anyone wants to debate this fact with me, here I am! Let's do it, right here!)<br /><br />The Bad News: Everything we are now experiencing was foretold in The Holy Bible, and it's going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better.<br /><br />The Good News: In 2029 (that's the best guess, but give or take a year), Christ Yeshua (Jesus, the Messiah) is going to return to Earth and rule it with a rod of iron for 1,000 years. And what that means is that we will no longer see a single person on the planet who is dumb enough to fall for the satanic bullshit propagated by moronic, immoral, atheistic groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter.<br /><br />They're a pain in the ass today (along with nearly every single politician and so-called "law enforcement" officers), but they won't be troubling our world for too much longer.
