I don't understand. I thought that if they're persecuted or tortured or killed, they're supposed to accept that as gawd's will, & die for the glory of gawd or something like that. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Geotheo, you're protestant, right?

You probably deserve to be more afraid than atheists in that case....

Whatever happened to the Knights Templar?

"Whatever happened to the Knights Templar? "

They became Masons and rule the world at the behest of their Alien Overlords.

Oh. My. Gods.

I'll have to correct Marduck, The Knights Templar, now Masons, are inturn run by the Stonecutters, and it is they who keep the Martians under wraps, not the otherway around.

They also keep Steve Gutenburg a star by the way.

"....Be fierce with his enemies but gentle to his friends...."

I speak for myself but if you ever were fierce with me you will never be a friend of mine and a friend of mine will never be willing to be fierce towards me. Period.

This reminds me when one of the elders of a Church of Christ went over to Russia for missionary work. He had flown bombers loaded with nukes during the early 60's and somehow this got out to the Russian crowd. Well, they booed him and threw stuff at him.

He asked why they did it and some folks told him why and he just said "But we were enemies then and I had a job to do!" Duh, he was going to drop a bomb on them that would wipe out their kids and loved ones and since the Cold War was over that made everything okay? No, anyone who supposedly is a friend would never do such as that and anyone who would do it is better off staying an enemy. I don't buy into this "Now your an enemy but now your not stuff." Anyone willing to kill me is going to be an enemy regardless of the circumstances.

It's a sad, sad thing. I just hope that Big Brother will step in and disband them if they get too big. Not that I like the government controlling what we do...but there has to be a limit even on freedom sometimes. And who wants a bunch of brainwashed dudes militarily trained???(Besides the Marines! lol

) I know I don't.

Every year, worldwide, thousands of bishops, priests, missionaries and seminarians are persecuted and murdered because of their faith by enemies of the Gospel.

It's odd that we hear so little about these thousands of murders and persecutions in the news.
