Speaking of idolatry, it's fun that a certain leader of a country recently approvingly shared a video with a golden statue of himself built in Israel.  One might be tempted to draw Biblical parallels, like people wearing the mark of a certain individual on their foreheads.

I was more surprised by crossdressers that look a lot like drag queens being a thing in this exciting new golden calf vision of Gaza. I expected the whole imperialism and idolatry thing. I admit I find his supporters calling out the obvious idolatry as if Trump missed it and warning him that that is bad. Gotta worry about the idolatry and not displacing hundreds of thousands of people. The lack of maintenance or development in Christian ethics and defaulting to rules is turning many Christians into moral monsters straining at gnats while happily gorging themselves at the all-you-can-eat camel buffet.

Regardless of what is being suggested for Gaza, the strip is now utterly unhabitable, toxic, pulverized. The strip population is actually in the millions. Hamas have no right to stay in the area. They are genocidal perpetrators and have committed appalling crimes against humanity including butchuring infants and terrorizing little children. After the IDF has finished corralling Hamas, the remaining population will have to be relocated to neutral areas with comfortable communities built for them.

Said with no irony. Do we condemn all genocidal perpetrators or just those we don’t like?

It is utterly uninhabitable, toxic, and pulverized? Are you under the impression that the area has been nuked or something?

Also no nations are lining up to create these magical fairy “neutral areas with comfortable communities” you just made up. Does everyone there get a pony too?

Finished the video of Rauch and Givens.  It was worth watching and I would love to talk to Rauch. I am not totally convinced about his argument but he does make some very good points.

There is nothing ironic with the Turks having repeatedly committed genocide against Armenians. You like Turks?
