From watching "much" news these days, I find this question incredibly easy to answer

the greatest evil of our time is Muslim jihad

These people don't care about anything. They don't even value their own lives. OK, so maybe it's a little over the top to say they don't care about anything. But really, what do they care about? In fact, it is very important to examine what they "care about"

They care about their "god"

That god is not one I could ever love. I love the God of 1 John 4, wherein we are told that "God isl ove"

True, i have had moments in my life where this scripture totally did not resonate with me at all. I don't u/stand why, in those moments, I could not... just could not believe that God is love. But you know... those moments are rather few and far between. For the most part, it only makes sense  that God would be love, that that would be his primary "attribute"

So this appeals to my sense of logic (etc)

But the jihadists have a God of death and destruction. They do not seem to find any value in living in THIS life, but only live for the next one. The weird thing is that that next life for them will undoubtedly be hellfire... not 72 virgins waiting for them (Women have no such award or anything remotely like it awaiting them in Heaven, apparently)

So... The US is in a very precarious and dangerous situation ignoring all that is going on overseas... and this Admin IS ignoring, for the most part. I will say that Pres O made the right decision in recently givng Israel help with the... can't think of the name of those things,but those defensive mechanisms that are destroying the incoming rockets from Hamas

well, at least no one here has disagreed w/ me, or if she or he did, didn't want to "go there"



A lot of Americans don't want to "go there" vis a vis the turmoil in the world... but we have NO CHOICE

I know it's just SOOO hard to belive we could be living in a world where there would be absolutely no CHOICE (the god of this world, apparently)

but that's the way things are

As worthwhile and necessary as religious beliefs and instincts may be,
their focus is 'otherworldly' and not on creating heaven on earth.
However our multiple problems are 'this worldly' and immediate.
I argue that an absence of leadership rather than any loss of faith,
has now reached  the crisis stage after incubating for some three
decades; and our citizenry are only dimly aware of this.
Gibbon defined the collapse of leadership as the defining reason
for the Fall of Rome. Reflect a moment. One hundred years ago,
this month; Europe commenced the Great War, a transformational
event from which it has yet to recover. The core reason for Europe's
plunge into the abyss was the absence of the likes of Palmerston
and Von Bismarck; replaced by the assorted assholery on display in 1914.
Those who ignore the mistakes of history are condemned to repeat them.

Currently our biggest problem is BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA...all the other problems that we are currently experiencing seem to stem from his lack of leadership, lies and failed policies including; illegal immigration, turmoil in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, Israel, N. Korea, Rusia, NSA, IRS, OBAMAcare, VA, and our troubled economy.  I do apologize if I forgot anything that he's messed up, but the list is becoming quite lengthy.

I should also mention his attack on Christianity and our second amendment rights.
