Muslim / Christian Genocide | Eastern North Carolina Now

Stan has asked me to do a piece on the title here. I am glad to comply with the best of my ability

    This goes back to the history of Mankind. The first Genocide depicted in the Bible is found in Genesis. It is the story of Cane and Abel. It had to do with the sacrifices of each and the fact that Cane's offering would not burn while that of Abel DID. Cane killed Abel over such a perceived deference from his God. A deeper look shows a divide between agrarian people and hunters. Cane was the hunter offering the first part of his kill to God / Abel was a farmer whose first fruits were burned---as all organic plant matter does! The killing was over PERCEPTION.

    The difference was one of "which is what." Add your common sense to the scene. Plant matter takes less heat to reach the point of incineration. Animal remains will burn when the body has dried sufficiently and enough basic heat it attained. I clear trees and brush in my line of business as a Tree Surgeon. If you let it dry for about a week, most plants will burn. The brush dries quickest and will burn with quick heat---to the point thicker things will reach the incineration point. If you piled up dead animals, it will have to pass the point of stench before it will burn. Dead animal flesh will give off far more stench than dried wood matter.

    I am told those who first opened the doors to the incinerators of Auschwitz never forgot the awful stench left behind and still in existence until today. If you get rain on the remains of a burn pile of brush, there is an odor---but not like that of burned animal remains. God made it that way for some purpose, I think. To me it is a warning over having no respect for organic life.

    The next major Biblical killing is with Jesus.

    He stood up to the Phrases and Priests of Israel over their abuse of their laws. They were never content with just the 10 Commandments. Within a few years they began to "build a fence around the laws." In other words, they added more and more minutia to the point they could lie without violating the "official law" of "thou shalt not bear false witness." It was too simple for them.

    There is an account in the New Testament where Jesus confronts the lawyers of his day over their ability to "legally lie." It had to do with the nature of swearing over a deal. They had complicated the simple "swear on the Altar" to an alternate swear on "the legs of the altar." An unknowing participant on a business verbal contract knew it was "just words." To make it stronger, a good Jew would stamp it with "I swear on _______." A sneaky Jew would say "the leg of the altar" --- that was an excuse to break the deal at the first opportunity. ONLY a person who "swore on the altar" was obligated "by God" to honor the vow/deal. If you did "the leg of the altar" it was hiding from God---in their crooked mind.

    We all have done similar things with a deal. Remember, how you could hold one hand behind the back and cross your fingers out of sight. Your brother or cousin would try to trick you when you violated the handshake deal by saying, "BUT my fingers were crossed!"

    Psychologists call this a defense mechanism of RATIONALIZATION." I once made a bet with my first cousin in SC over the number of forward gears on the Farmall "M" my granddaddy had. He had worked and driven that tractor enough to think he knew more than me. I was right that it had 4 forward gears and he thought it was 3! We went over to that tractor and the gear pattern was clearly stamped on the steel = 4 FORWARD GEARS. Now comes the RENIG! My cousin immediately said, "You are right, BUT we settle these bets in SC with a shooting contest." I was a better shot and beat him on the BUT(T). The bet was for a box of .22 bullets. The rascal NEVER gave me the ammo!

    Jesus said, "Let your yea be yea / your nay be nay." That was but part of the instigation of the plot to kill him! The Jewish leaders were indisputable on any judgment. Jesus was pointing out that you can be WRONG while appearing to be RIGHT! Just because you are an official leader does not make it perfect and final. The Old Testament is replete with stories of how God's Chosen People were initially in right relationship with God and one another---only to get far, far away without noticing! The picture of their history is a constant cycle from good to more than bad. Given enough RATIONALIZATIONS, any human mind can choose to ignore simple RIGHT vs. WRONG. If you have enough money these days, like O.J. Simpson, you can do the crime but avoid the time.

    The last major historical event that comes to mind is the Great Crusades. I have been to Europe and seen the lasting evidence. It is with Onion Dome architecture left on many buildings where Muslims ruled for a while. You find them all over Austria and Germany --- which are today Christian. Whenever you see a church or building with an Onion Dome, it came from the day when Muslims took that territory and ruled with their iron fist of beheading and other harsh ways to rule. Our minds are aghast over beheading pictures and video. It makes us want to get revenge and invade with our military might.

    On the other hand, I have seen gun camera footage of an Apache Helicopter. The new mini-guns can instantly turn any human body into a pile of still-glowing mush! To record the event the camera is infa-red for night vision. The footage sent to me by a USAF buddy was that of men on a bridge with trucks and NO VISIBLE GUNS. The Apache was far enough away so that they had no clue they were being watched! The conversation between pilot and gunnery officer was a life-or-death one. They await a clearance from higher up to "smoke them." Once it is obtained, they let loose that horrible Gatling mini-gun. It spins out a steady stream of accurate lead no one can survive.

    Instead of the Lone Ranger single shot knocking the gun out of the bad guy's hand, it is total obliteration of steel and flesh under its burp-sounding roar. It is so awful that even a CG film could not replicate it completely. Flesh becomes a glowing pile of mush and the US flyer wins---BUT who could be sure those destroyed were doing anything other than being on the wrong bridge at the wrong time!

    The Crusades pitted the Western World against the East. The West was Christian. The East was Muslim. The only good thing was---they used weapons like swords, spears, and arrows. Today we have atomic weapons which COULD literally destroy this earth. The arm can only wield a sword for so long without tiring / a red button unleashing a nuclear weapon takes only the strength of a finger pushing the button to "deploy all missiles."

    Now that I am looking at this in retrospect

    ANY KIND OF GENOCIDE SUCKS!!!

    Is there not some way we can quit the killing and learn to live in PEACE???

BT---you and I are both Baptist and I assume you are familiar with the political activities when the Conservatives took if over with the mantra: "The end justifies the means to it." Perhaps you are aware of a situation where the pastor of any local church was dismissed. Most people assume some kind of moral failure had to be involved.

This is but a snapshot of politics these days. We have moved from "simple differences of opinion" to "all Muslims are going to hell and the President is a Muslim." That has been uttered non-stop as the Pope visits America. Mike Huckabee was a member of the Conservative Resurgence few individuals involved at the core.

His name is among the dozen or so who met in airports to plan and scheme. He became the President of the Southern Baptist Convention as further proof of the "rewards of conservatism." Each of the megachurch pastors has been appointed to head a Board or Agency as their buddies ruled from the President appointing a Committee on Committees to the point actual individuals become a Chairman or Board President.

The problem many have is failure to admit to rule by "Oligarchy" --- the opposite of a real Democracy.

Unfortunately, I am finding the means to educate myself on removal of my Bobcat rear lift piston seal which busted on the machine I am trying now to sell. A $42,000 new machine cost is easily outweighed to simply repair the cylinder spurting fluid.

If you would help me by using your superior analysis skills on social group management, it would probably not have oil and grease covering your keypad as mine will be today. Like my repair issue which shut down the mighty machine yesterday and has it parked beside a street in Bath, I am trying to tell Stan ---

Gene, you make a good point that your presence provides and alternate position to the publisher's viewpoint. Your use of the "Obviously Conservative" handle, which the publisher accepts as truth, begs the question of why you do not except the "Obviously Liberal" handle. We have been down the road on test being designed to bring all toward the center. Perhaps a good post on what is a good Liberal, Progressive, and Democratic Socialist is would be worth the effort.
I can only assume that since you believe that Conservative is a pejorative term which is thrown like a dagger you also believe that Liberal is the same and thus your reluctance to accept it.
If you will look at your stats under the BCN Member list at the top of the pages you will see that you have (206 article(s) & (1,477 comment(s). That is hardly something that qualifies as being gagged and censored.
Where you are getting off base is your tendency to use nonfactual references to specific points and then extrapolate some sinister reason for action. If you reduce the hyperbole and overly exaggerated adjectives perhaps, your points would carry more weight. Simple logic and facts should be enough to make a point without resorting to the Stamp Parade.
Try to lighten up and enjoy the ride sometimes.

The basic plus of my presence is that a publication so obviously conservative and of the Tea Party variety has an alternate position from me and 2 others. It has grown in readership and my posts are getting abut 200+ hits each one.

If Stan likes my ability to write and we live in a free country with political issues, then he would be wise to allow for some variety and differences, in my view. When I have gotten most serious in recent articles of a view opposite his, he calls me a liberal and liar.

In reality --- and according to the tests you posted and I took --- I am just outside the middle block and to the moderate edge. That is far from the depiction Stan likes to give me without logic or proof of his analysis.

Go figure, my brother . . .

BCN has the ability to remove two of the three ingredients to smother this firestorm (audience and access) and yet GS you continue to childishly taunt. Like Don Quixote, I suspect you see this as a quest when it is merely a discussion requiring factual basis for ascertains made on this forum.
GS, this is not a free speech issue, you were invited to attend and required to register in order to make comments and post. BCN has the sole discretion on what is allowed on this forum. It is just like your Facebook page "Democrats Active in Beaufort County for Change (link below)" where you have control over content and require registration to make comments or post there. Save the ad hominem comments for that page, engage here with real debate and not talking points or slander.

"The laws are even MORE restrictive when you are in a private location. This includes a private person's home, their car, their back yard, and their private web forum. All of these are owned by an individual and are governed by the rules of that individual. This is a critical part of law, that an individual has full rights over what is said in the location they own.
It is nonsensical for a person in that situation to complain, "but I can paint my house blue in Orlando, Florida, so I should be able to do it here too." That comparison has nothing to do with the rules of the private entity. If a private entity chooses to make rules about X or Y, then those rules are in force in that private location. They are legally binding.
The same is true for a web forum. A web forum is a private location, run by a private entity, and maintaining a set of rules for all forum members to abide by. Those rules are publicly posted and all members need to abide by them.(1 ref available)".
The solution is simple, "Admit you used inaccurate information in your comments or that you did not bother to confirm the accusations, or produce specific facts to back your assertions".
Maybe we can then get back to real debate of issues.

PLEEESE DON'T KEEEEEL ME MISSA STAN . . . I be sweet, I be sweeet

There is no free speech for known dishonesty on BCN. It is known as slander, and your next comment pertaining to me or anything to do with the governing of Beaufort County will be blocked. Lies will not be tolerated here.

Or, you can truthfully explain what and when I voted to waste the People's treasure, and then you may be restored fully to the BCN community. Your choice.

There is a vast difference between "we shall agree to disagree" and "you are dishonest." One is the American right of free speech. The second is the way of the Nazi which was "agree and obey or I KEEEL EWE!"
( September 23rd, 2015 @ 7:12 am )
 
Gene, then answer the last question posed by me, or just sincerely apologize for your dishonesty.

It is that simple.
( September 23rd, 2015 @ 4:59 am )
 
Stan is now bordering on Dictator over Publisher. He has been omitting a comment section on my recent posts as proof of the pudding!

To "agree to disagree" is honorable / to stop comments which do not worship his type of Conservatism (Tea Party) is dictatorial.

If Stan and others will kindly read my description of the takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention --- his kind of conservatives have destroyed a great democratic ministry tool which is now falling apart rapidly . . .
