D-Day's 80th

[Tyler COLEk]

There's no better way to honor the veterans of D-Day than creating a post to celebrate them and then politicizing their accomplishments in the very next sentence.

Thanks for your comprehensive post lawdog, but the ship has sailed regarding this thread's title. 

It is easy to think that the defeat of the Nazi's was almost preordained. There are many "IFs...followed by coulda or woulda to theorize how the Nazis might have won, but they didn't. There has always been plenty of healthy discussion and disagreements among historians about WWII, but I doubt that many, if any, of them question just how crucial, pivotal, and decisive D-Day was.

I loved the "portrait" of Ike in the movie of the same name. Hopefully it was accurate. The weight of the decisions on his shoulders was surely immense. Tom Selleck played the role masterfully. There was, by many accounts, a good chance that the invasion would fail. Imagine if it had.

As an evangelical Christian, I firmly believe adultery is okay if the broad is hot and it helps own the libs.  I haven't read the Bible but I am very certain Jesus would believe in 2A

I was down at McKinley marina on Friday and saw a boat flying a flag that said

God, Guns & Trump

I thought to myself how could anyone who read Jesus's words in the Gospel honestly believe this is what he'd want?

Jesus was woke.  He lived with prostitutes & tax collectors, he welcomed all.

If he were here today he'd be at Pride Fest this weekend. He spent his life making sure the marginalized were ok. 

Gods, Guns & Trump.  That's some serious Old Testament stuff.  Turn the page.

The majority of 'christians' today are fake. NO real christian supports the Orange Demon.

My God, you found him!

We've seen renderings of African Jesus, Hispanic Jesus, Feminine Jesus, Caucasian Jesus even Oriental Jesus.

But Brother TSmith, YOU FOUND HIM!!!!!!!

FLORIDA JESUS!

That's right, Florida Jesus has a concealed carry permit. He (and it's definitely a He), is packing heat. He has a marvelous semi-automatic weapons collection and is better armed than most of our police departments.

Florida Jesus worships the one true God -- STAND YOUR GROUND -- and has only one commandment -- the second amendment!

That's our Florida Jesus -- ready to answer the call!

Now back to D-Day and the heroism our soldiers displayed.

Voting for a person, even one as detestable as Trump, does not make a person "fake" in their religious beliefs. That's you imposing your political beliefs on their faith.

In accordance with Old Testament rules, the convicted felon should have been stoned to death numerous times already for his serial adultery alone. Not to mention for lying, stealing, taking the lord's name in vain, projecting himself as a god and other commandments he has broken and continues to break.

My friend.  Our God is a great God of forgiveness.
The great King David of Israel was forgiven.

[MU82]

Nope. Stone him to death. That's just Leviticus, my friend.

Show him the same mercy and grace he wanted to show the Central Park 5.

I was taught that God forgives those who acknowledge their sin and seek forgiveness.

[NCMUFan]

You are absolutely right.  King David confessed his sin.
If you are referring to the former President, you will need to ask him.

No need to ask. He tells us every day.

"It was a failure." - Lindsey Graham today on Face The Nation, talking about D-Day.

Now there's a D-Day take I wouldn't have expected.

Fox news did back in 2016, I believe. He said he has never asked for forgiveness. Ever. To anyone. Hence, by the very definition of christianity, he is not one.

[NCMUFan]

That was 8-years ago. People change.  Did he? I do not know.

Christians really don't have a hurdle to jump over to determine whether or not they are Christian other than what they believe.

Serious, Clark?

[MU82]

The convicted felon is the leader of the Never Apologize brigade.

Lie. Deny. Blame others. Lie. Deny deny. Claim that your rivals are guilty of the very thing you are. Lie. Deny deny deny. Claim that you are more persecuted than Jesus and Mandela were. Lie and deny some more.

It's a playbook he has used over and over again for 8+ years ... and who can blame him? Tens of millions of cultists believe his gospel and worship him no matter the sin.

[Not all scoop users are created equal apparently]

I'm glad you are beautiful examples of Catholicism and Christianity.  Please keep up the awesome work.

Inshallah

Same with flat earthers.

Brother Hippie:

With all due respect, I could not disagree with you more. Being Christian doesn't mean solely believing. It means acting based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. To love God and love your neighbor as yourself.

Many people who never set foot inside a church are wonderful Christians. Many folks who ritually attend Mass or services on Sunday fail to take what they learn as followers of Jesus into their week.

Being a Christian isn't saying -- it's doing! It's a way of life. We can disagree on how but not what!

Faith alone. Grace alone.

Just doing good things doesn't make one Christian. Church attendance has nothing to do with it.
