@moonbus saidYou are painting people in America as racist, groups and individuals, and in this thread, white people are the major cause that you did not rebuke. In our post-truth world, perception is reality, not reality itself, and when you push something that is only true because of the hate others have for one another, you are part of the problem. Stopping illegal immigration is not a race issue; it's a law-and-order issue, but with some, they paint everyone who is for law and order as racist. It is a common buzzword for those who hold views different from their own.
I'm commenting on racism in America.
Whether you think I'm a racist is irrelevant.
Who fights in Armageddon, and when does that battle occur, at what point in our human future?
@moonbus saidI’m not a Trump apologist; I don't hate him, and for some, that is enough to be called all the names they have for him. I think he was appointed President just like Biden, and everyone before him. Personally, I think the people who hold that office reveal more about everyone else than themselves; they start to hate things and like them as those hurt or help the guy they support or hate. There is nothing special about Trump as far as I’m concerned, outside of the fact that he has people on the right and left hating him.

Do you believe that Donald Trump has been anointed by Jesus to usher in the final battle which will lead to Armageddon and the rapture of the elect? There are reports that such a message was sent to field commanders leading American military personnel in Iran. Do you think this is an appropriate thing to tell people who may be killed in battle for a cause they did not vote for?
I do not live and breathe every breath I have and give Trump credit or blame for every good or evil thing on the planet. I think those who are fixated on Him are mentally ill.
@KellyJay saidLike most Republicans, you are a 'cart-before-the-horse' kinda guy.
All I see here is someone selecting out of the fallen human race people based on their color highlighting that they are some how worse than the rest. A racist hates people based on race, turning them into less than others when we are all sinners and have fallen short.
@KellyJay saidPerhaps those who see Trump for who he is, and not who he says he is, care more about America than you do.

@Kevin-Contretemps saidI don’t hope for a war, and I did have a daughter who died, why in the world would you claim otherwise? What type of person are you? I wrote a poem about her death, and a friend of mine put it to music.
Doesn't it seem weird and strangely parochial to you that a certain religion's concept of Armageddon only involves one planet?
I wonder how many people who relax into Christ would still hope for such a thing.
Also: If you have been false to all of us regarding your Christian faith and have falsely claimed that you had a daughter who died young, what are the rest of us to make of that?
Ramie's Day
Conceived in covenant.
Formed by mighty hands in the darkness.
A hope for a life
of giggles and smiles, of laughter and joy, story telling, and wonder.
What joy and wonder as she arrives
Little hands and feet, a smile so sweet.
With pain and sorrow
a troubled heart,
a year, a week, a day or two.
Now she is on streets of gold.
In the nail pierced hands.
No pain or sorrow can touch her now.
She waits with him
for others coming.
For a life of hope or giggles and smiles
of laughter and joy
of story telling and wonder.
