While The Western World Laughs At Christianity, Major Leaders In Science And Business Are Trying To Turn Man Into A God

One such movement is the idea that man can become immortal through science. As strange as it sounds, there is an entire movement backed by many billionaires and scientists to try to live forever and gain extraordinary powers so they might become like God:<blockquote>The idea that age could be manipulated by twiddling a few control knobs ignited a research boom, and soon various clinical indignities had increased the worm’s life span by a factor of ten and those of lab mice by a factor of two. The scientific consensus transformed. Age went from being a final stage (a Time cover from 1958: “Growing Old Usefully”) and a social issue (Time, 1970: “Growing Old in America: The Unwanted Generation”) to something avoidable (1996: “Forever Young”) or at least vastly deferrable (2015: “This Baby Could Live to Be 142 Years Old”). Death would no longer be a metaphysical problem, merely a technical one.The celebration was premature. Gordon Lithgow, a leading C. elegans researcher, told me, “At the beginning, we thought it would be simple—a clock!—but we’ve now found about five hundred and fifty genes in the worm that modulate life span. And I suspect that half of the twenty thousand genes in the worm’s genome are somehow involved.” That’s for a worm with only nine hundred and fifty-nine cells. The code book is far more complex for animals that excite our envy: the bee larva fed copiously on royal jelly that changes into an ageless queen; the Greenland shark that lives five hundred years and doesn’t get cancer; even the humble quahog clam, the kind used for chowder, which holds the record at five hundred and seven.For us, aging is the creeping and then catastrophic dysfunction of everything, all at once. Our mitochondria sputter, our endocrine system sags, our DNA snaps. Our sight and hearing and strength diminish, our arteries clog, our brains fog, and we falter, seize, and fail. Every research breakthrough, every announcement of a master key that we can turn to reverse all that, has been followed by setbacks and confusion. A few years ago, there was great excitement about telomeres, Liz Blackburn’s specialty—DNA buffers that protect the ends of chromosomes just as plastic tips protect the ends of shoelaces. As we age, our telomeres become shorter, and, when these shields go, cells stop dividing. (As Blackburn said, “It puts cells into a terribly alarmed state!”) If we could extend the telomeres, the thinking went, we might reverse aging. But it turns out that animals with long telomeres, such as lab mice, don’t necessarily have long lives—and that telomerase, the enzyme that promotes telomere growth, is also activated in the vast majority of cancer cells. The more we know about the body, the more we realize how little we know.Still, researchers plunge ahead. Understanding isn’t a precondition for successful intervention, they point out; we had no real grasp of virology or immunology when we began vaccinating people against smallpox.In the murk of scientific inquiry, every researcher looks to a ruling metaphor for guidance. Aubrey de Grey likes to compare the body to a car: a mechanic can fix an engine without necessarily understanding the physics of combustion, and assiduously restored antique cars run just fine. De Grey is the chief science officer of Silicon Valley’s sens Research Foundation, which stands for Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence—a fancy way of saying “Planning Your Comprehensive Tune-up.” An Englishman who began his career with a decade of work in A.I., he speaks with rapid fluidity, often while stroking his Rasputin-length beard. De Grey has proposed that if we fix seven types of physical damage we will be on the path to living for more than a thousand years (assuming we can avoid getting hit by a bus or an asteroid).When I met him at the sens office, in Mountain View, he told me, “Gerontologists have been led massively astray by looking for a root cause to aging, when it’s actually that everything falls apart at the same time, because all our systems are interrelated. So we have to divide and conquer.” We just need to restore tissue suppleness, replace cells that have stopped dividing and remove those that have grown toxic, avert the consequences of DNA mutations, and mop up the gunky by-products of all of the above. If we can disarm these killers, de Grey suggests, we should gain thirty years of healthy life, and during that period we’ll make enough further advances that we’ll begin growing biologically younger. We’ll achieve “longevity escape velocity.”...Many immortalists view aging not as a biological process but as a physical one: entropy demolishing a machine. And, if it’s a machine, couldn’t it be like a computer? Progress in computers, or anyway in semiconductors, has been subject to Moore’s Law, the exponential flywheel that has doubled capacity every two years. In linear progress, after thirty iterations you’ve advanced thirty steps; in exponential progress, you’ve advanced 1.07 billion steps. Our progress in mapping the human genome looked like it was linear—and then was revealed, once the doublings grew significant, as exponential.A number of startups are trying to harness exponential curves. BioAge has been using machine learning and crunching genomics data to search for biomarkers that predict mortality. Kristen Fortney, the company’s thirty-four-year-old C.E.O., told me that she had also begun testing computationally designed drugs to find an unexpected substance that would powerfully affect those markers. She’s about to seek her next round of venture financing, and she’s optimistic: “Biotech is something a lot of V.C.s don’t understand, but machine learning and big data are things they do understand.”Aging doesn’t seem to be a program so much as a set of rules about how we fail. Yet the conviction that it must be a program is hard to dislodge from Silicon Valley’s algorithmic minds. If it is, then reversing aging would be a mere matter of locating and troubleshooting a recursive loop of code. After all, researchers at Columbia University announced in March that they’d stored an entire computer operating system (as well as a fifty-dollar Amazon gift card) on a strand of DNA. If DNA is just a big Dropbox for all the back-office paperwork that sustains life, how hard can it be to bug-fix?...Ray Kurzweil and Aubrey de Grey have the same backup plan if the work doesn’t advance as quickly as they expect: when they die, they will be frozen in liquid nitrogen, with instructions left to reawaken them once science has finished paving the road to immortality. Their optimism is admirable, and perhaps the anxieties that their blueprints stir up are just the standard resentments of the late adopters and the left-behinds. “People are daunted when they hear of these things,” Kurzweil told me. “Then they say, ‘I don’t know if I want to live that long.’ ” For Kurzweil, who has two children, the acceptance of inevitable death is no saner than the acceptance of early death. “It’s a common philosophical position that death gives meaning to life, but death is a great robber of meaning,” he said. “It robs us of love. It is a complete loss of ourselves. It is a tragedy.” (<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/04/03/silicon-valleys-quest-to-live-forever">source</a>)</blockquote>I love seeing articles like these. I need a good laugh during my day. But in all seriousness, these articles represent how deep our apostasy as a society goes.There is an entire social movement taking place right now called transhumanism. One of its largest proponents is a man by the name of <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Kurzweil">Ray Kurzweil</a>. He has been speaking and writing about the issue for years, and runs several businesses which help promote his ideas, the most significant of which is a concept called 'singularity.'<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/320px-Raymond_Kurzweil_Fantastic_Voyage.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-109828" height="300" sizes="(max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/320px-Raymond_Kurzweil_Fantastic_Voyage-242x300.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/320px-Raymond_Kurzweil_Fantastic_Voyage-242x300.jpg 242w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/320px-Raymond_Kurzweil_Fantastic_Voyage.jpg 320w" width="242" /></a>Ray KurzweilWithout going into the specifics, the idea of singularity is that currently there is a 'duality' in society, that distinction being made between men and machines. In his vision, through man's progress of technology man will eventually blend himself with machines and by doing so in conjuction with a series of emerging technologies, such as bioengineering, he will be able to live forever and acquire limitless powers that only were dreamed about in the past. In his own words, the religions of the world will no longer be necessary <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3551403/Would-want-live-forever-Expert-claims-extend-lives-virtually-immortal-soon-2029.html">because man will be able to through his own efforts make himself a god</a>.<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Pieter_Bruegel_the_Elder_-_The_Tower_of_Babel_Rotterdam_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-109826" height="241" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Pieter_Bruegel_the_Elder_-_The_Tower_of_Babel_Rotterdam_-_Google_Art_Project-300x241.jpg" width="300" /></a>History repeating itself...Now the Bible has a lot to say about the foolishness of men who think they can become like God. As if it was not bad enough that it was the first sin which caused man's fall from grace, the Bible itself says that God laughs from His place in Heaven at men who try to attempt this. This should be enough of a reason for why one should not try to do this. If the Bible is not enough, then the fact that man recognizing that he has potentiality for improvement within him that is limitless should be enough, since as God is all that is, then there is no potentiality it God, only actuality because He sees all, knows all, and has power over all.But I can use another even simpler example found in nature itself to illustrate this- GMO crops.For those who are unaware, GMO means "genetically modified organism." In America today, 90% of all corn and 93% of all soybeans are grown from GMO seeds unless specifically designated as "organic." What this means is that these and many other plant seeds are not harvested naturally from the previous years' crop, but they are actively made and modified in science laboratories owned by several major corporations, the most infamous of which in the Monsanto Company.<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1ad75795c075c2c62c9640719b73cda4.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-109827" height="208" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1ad75795c075c2c62c9640719b73cda4-300x208.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1ad75795c075c2c62c9640719b73cda4-300x208.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/1ad75795c075c2c62c9640719b73cda4.jpg 550w" width="300" /></a>A cornwormGMO is a very "hot" issue for many reasons that are currently being aggressively battled out in courtrooms across the country. In terms of plant health, the seeds themselves are supposed to be "pest resistant" because they often times not only contain modifications to the genetic code that make them unpalatable or poisonous to pests, but also contain within them poison that kills bugs on contact. You can see this today especially with corn- if you buy or grow organic corn, you will likely have a cornworm or two in a bunch of ears. Notice how one rarely finds any cornworms any more- because the seed you are consuming is literally toxic to bugs and likely, toxic to your health as well.GMO crops are also a major issue because the seed is "copyrighted." However, since the spread of seed cannot be controlled (especially in the case of corn, as zea mays is naturally wind pollinated), then not only will GMO corn contaminate farmers who grow non-GMO corn, but <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/feb/12/monsanto-sues-farmers-seed-patents">companies will come around and sue the farmers whose corn was polluted over claims of "copyright infringement."</a>However, the biggest issue with GMO is that GMO actually does not work. In fact, while it has certain measurable and temporary benefits, its long term effects of modifying the seed are highly negative and destructive to both the plants as well as the environment. There are many theories about this, but the essence is simple- because the plant was modified to produce certain effects, such as pest resistance, what happened is that certain pests just adapted to the new conditions. The result has been a decrease in crop yields, the dramatic rise in pesticide-resistant bugs and weeds, and the<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2012/10/19/herbicide-resistant-super-weeds-increasingly-plaguing-farmers"> emergence of "superweeds" that are completely ravaging GMO crops</a>. However, this is not talked about by the GMO proponents- all one will hear are the benefits without any mention of these other significant issues.Innovation, invention, and improving crop yields or most other things are good, and science does have a very important place in agriculture. That said, "science" is not the ruler of agricultural activity- it is just a tool to improve what already exists because it does not create, but only modifies the environment in which it is placed. The reason why "science" is made so important is not because this is about being "anti-science" or not, but because it is about God, for if science admits that it is a tool to modify what is created, then the proper use of that tool must be governed by a set of laws or standards, which would necessarily be in the formerly Christian world the rules of Christian morality. By making "science" the focus and end, it allowed for a man to make himself god by declaring right and wrong on his own power and then using said tool as he wills for his own end, and since man is not and cannot be god as he cannot create but only modify, and given that God is all that is good, then all that man can do without God is at best make a change that only reflects divine good, and in the worst case he will simply destroy others and eventually himself.<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Jan_Brueghel_de_Oude_en_Peter_Paul_Rubens_-_Het_aards_paradijs_met_de_zondeval_van_Adam_en_Eva.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-109829" height="193" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Jan_Brueghel_de_Oude_en_Peter_Paul_Rubens_-_Het_aards_paradijs_met_de_zondeval_van_Adam_en_Eva-300x193.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Jan_Brueghel_de_Oude_en_Peter_Paul_Rubens_-_Het_aards_paradijs_met_de_zondeval_van_Adam_en_Eva-300x193.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Jan_Brueghel_de_Oude_en_Peter_Paul_Rubens_-_Het_aards_paradijs_met_de_zondeval_van_Adam_en_Eva.jpg 380w" width="300" /></a>The Bible is very clear that after Original Sin, man's days are numbered and are known only to God, for He made us and it is to Him that we will return to be judged at the end of our lives. Science then is to reflect God's designs for the earth by man working with God's design, not against Him. While scientific development is healthy and important, it cannot come at the expense of the pursuit of truth.As for those who think that searching for a cure for death and pursuing the idea of "living forever" through science and apart from God, such as with these people and those who adhere to the transhumanist perspective, they are making the same mistake as did Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. Death cannot be cheated as it is the price of sin, the great equalizer between rich and power, powerful and powerless, for all people at all time, and no amount of science can or will change that. And that is why Jesus came. Because while men may be sinful, deceived, and lost, God still loved us so that He sent His only Son so that he who believes in Him might not perish but have eternal life.So let the rich fools and sophists dream so creating a life without God, yet at the same time live in perpetual fear of death. Yes, death is a concern and a serious matter, but only in a life lived without, apart from, and (God forbid) in opposition to the will of God. Indeed, when the curtains of this life close all that will matter is what we did with what we had in the place and time in which we lived.<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/header-jesus-hug.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-109830" height="170" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/header-jesus-hug-300x170.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/header-jesus-hug-300x170.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/header-jesus-hug.jpg 610w" width="300" /></a>

Christian Student Suspended From School After He Says He Disagrees With Muslim Teacher Saying That 'Jesus Isn't God'

<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/MPolston-370x242.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-109814" height="196" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/MPolston-370x242-300x196.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/MPolston-370x242-300x196.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/MPolston-370x242.jpg 370w" width="300" /></a>In a very interesting story from the front lines of America's campuses, a college student was suspended from school after his Muslim professor was offended that he as a Christian called out his professor falsely teaching against Jesus' divinity and challenged her to prove her points instead of proselytize:<blockquote>A student says he was suspended from Rollins College for challenging his Muslim professor’s anti-Christian assertions, including her claim that Jesus’ crucifixion never took place.Twenty-year-old Marshall Polston, a sophomore at the private, Florida-based four-year college, said that the professor of his Middle Eastern Humanities class also told students that Jesus’ disciples did not believe he was God.Polston, an avid traveler and self-described Christian, has toured the Middle East and is familiar with the Muslim culture.“Honestly, it reminded me of some of the more radical groups I researched when abroad,” Polston told the Central Florida Post about his professor’s comments on Jesus.“Whether religious or not, I believe even those with limited knowledge of Christianity can agree that according to the text, Jesus was crucified and his followers did believe he was divine… that he was ‘God,’” he continued. “Regardless, to assert the contrary as academic fact is not supported by the evidence.”Polston, in a message to The College Fix on Saturday, said he stands behind his assertions in the Post article. He said he is upset he was suspended and has hired an attorney.“Our university should be a place where free-speech flashes and ideas can be spoken of without punishment or fear of retribution,” Polston told The College Fix. “In my case it was the total opposite. … I came forward with the story because I know so many other students like me suffer under today’s liberal academic elite.”The professor, Areej Zufari, as well as a campus spokesperson, could not be reached by The College Fix late Sunday. However, the Central Florida Post reports that it tried numerous times to obtain comment from Rollins College and Professor Zufari to no avail.Polston claims the situation began after he challenged Zufari’s assertions about Jesus and his disciples. Polston said this challenge led Zufari to file a complaint with a campus dean, claiming he made her feel “unsafe.”Next, Polston received a 52 percent on a major essay.“I was upset, understandably. I’ve never gotten anything less than straight A’s, so I was really interested in figuring out how to possibly improve or at least understand the grade,” Polston told the Post. On another day during the course, Zufari led a discussion about the application of Sharia Law. Polston claims that during this discussion, a male Muslim student said gays and adulterers should be beheaded under Sharia Law.“I spoke out to the professor about the grade and subsequently the decapitation comments made by the student,” Polston told The Fix. “The statement by the conservative Muslim student met such fear by some that one of the students reported it to the FBI. Later, I was reported by the professor to the dean of campus safety. The situation was surreal. We’ve already had one too many attacks in Orlando and as an avid traveler I realized this was the perfect example of ‘see something, say something.’”Zufari, for her part, posted on Facebook to the ACLU of Florida, complaining about an unnamed student that is “making my life hell this semester. This one is spewing hatred at me, de-railing class, and just sent me a hateful email threatening me…I want to know if there is a way to hold the individual responsible for his harassment and hate speech. Any ideas? Thank you!”According to the March 24 suspension letter, Polston’s “actions have constituted a threat of disruption within the operations of the College and jeopardize the safety and well-being of members of the College community and yourself.”Those alleged actions are not spelled out within the document. Nonetheless, Polston was given strict directions not to set foot on campus or have any contact with Zufari in the letter.However, claims that Polston violated the terms of his suspension and came to harass the class this past Thursday were lodged. A campus safety report obtained by The College Fix states:“Student ______ stated to me that she looked out the back glass door of the classroom and saw Mr. Polston staring into the room. He briefly stopped then proceeded on his way. Campus safety was immediately notified and responded at 19:36 hours. A search was conducted but Mr. Polston was not found. Ms. Zufari’s students were upset and did not feel comfortable being in the class. Ms. Zufari dismissed her class early at 20:07 hours.”Polston has completely refuted these claims, however, offering video footage of his whereabouts — at a restaurant over a half-hour away from the school. As for Rollins College, this isn’t the first time its officials have acted unfavorably toward Christian students.(<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/post/31853/">source</a>)</blockquote>This story strikes close to me because of my experiences as a graduate student. You can read the full story <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nas.org/articles/Islamo-Correctness_at_Hartford_Seminary">here</a>, but the shortened version of it is that I went through many difficulties, including nearly being kicked out of graduate school because I refused to give my consent to Islamic teachings in an academic environment. That was back in 2010. I can only imagine what things are like in academic today, especially in light of all this "social justice warrior" and "safe space" nonsense.My experiences in school taught me a lot. I commend what this man is going through because he is literally watching, as I did in my case, what he knew/thought he knew was going to be his life's path (at least for the current time) get completely shredded right before his eyes. In my case, because my degree was so specialized as I had intended to further pursue my field, my situation in graduate school left me like a fish out of water. Not knowing where to go or what to do, it took me a long time to finally figure out what steps I needed to take. That said, I do not regret my decision and if I had to go back and do it again, I would do it again. I learned a lot of lessons from the whole experience as well.In terms of my field, the point remains as true then as it does now, and that is to hold fast to one's principles if one truly believes in them as a matter of faith. I do not speak here of quantitative facts that are matters of scholarly documentation- for example, arguing that Cleopatra was in Egypt during the time of the Islamic conquests when she clearly could not have been. What I speak of is divinely revealed truth, and specifically my being a Christian in a predominately Muslim environment.<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Areej-Zufari-photo.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-109819" height="300" sizes="(max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Areej-Zufari-photo-218x300.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Areej-Zufari-photo-218x300.jpg 218w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Areej-Zufari-photo.jpg 280w" width="218" /></a>Professor Areej Zufari, who had the student suspendedHere at Shoebat.com we speak a lot about Christian persecution, but much of this also happens inside the classroom as well except their is no blood or weapons involved (for now). The martyrdom one suffers is a "white martyrdom," where you are ostracized from your peers and your ability to progress academically is intentionally destroyed so you cannot receive your degree, which now puts you in a difficult situation because it interrupts your ability to take care of yourself. While in the old world death was the end to a man's physical life by violence, here the violence is directed against a man's ability to care for himself so that he cannot grow and instead will be destroyed by environmental factors. It is the same intended effect but by different means. The fact that Muslim professors are put into positions of academic power is only going to exacerbate this, because they will use their positions of power to preach Islam as well as executed the violence of Islam against non-Muslims in a "socially acceptable" way when they refuse to submit to Islam intellectually.This brings up a larger point, which is the decline of the higher education system reflective of the spiritual and moral decline of the entire western world. This has been going on for years, but the fact is that college in America has basically reached a point where the value one puts in will not generate a return on investment that in most cases is worth the time or money spent either on the same subject in another country or program, or that could not be spent building a successful business or other endeavor that would likely yield higher payoffs because all that college does today is to inculcate the status quo of thought and values held by contemporary society into the students. This decline is not per se caused by Islam but other factors, namely the western world's refusal to love God and return to Him. Islam's rise in the west is no different than its rise anywhere else in the world, as it is not truly taking over but rather filling the vacuum left by the western world's decadence and apathy.<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/sliderelement16.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-109813" height="274" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/sliderelement16-300x274.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/sliderelement16-300x274.jpg 300w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/sliderelement16.jpg 328w" width="300" /></a>A vile photo, but something that if you were to say is vile in public, you would be at the very least socially ostracized. In some areas, you might be put in jail. The fact that the West cannot call evil for evil permeates throughout the entire society. If we cannot say as a culture that such a photo above is evil without making oneself a permanent outcast, why is it a surprise that Islam, a religion which feeds on moral decay in formerly Christian societies like how mushrooms feed on decaying organic material, is growing in society?However, do not think what this student is going through right now is something normal. In fact, it is very common to societies going through the process of Islamization. In fact, throughout history there were many Christians who were persecuted, harassed, and even killed for speaking their minds. The example which comes to my mind first are the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyrs_of_C%C3%B3rdoba">Martyrs of Cordoba</a>, who were a series of over 20 people who were imprisoned, tortured, and murdered in a series of horrible ways not because they actually refused to convert to Islam in all cases, but because at the very least they refused to make intellectual or social acts of submission to Islam that would derogate their Catholic Faith. For them, it was better to suffer and die than to dishonor Christ.<a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/LeocriciaEulogioC.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-109818" height="300" sizes="(max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/LeocriciaEulogioC-232x300.jpg" srcset="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/LeocriciaEulogioC-232x300.jpg 232w, http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/LeocriciaEulogioC.jpg 600w" width="232" /></a>Sts. Eulogia and Lucretia, two of the martyrs of CordobaWhether it is today or back then, nothing has changed in essence except for the actors, places, and spaces. The way to fix the current system in the university, such as with what this student is going through, is actually not to fix it at all but rather to simply remove oneself from it and not "play" because you cannot win. The system itself is rigged in order to give a predetermined answer, reflecting what we have been saying here over and over, and that is that the rise of Islam was predicated upon the Muslims being invited in with the help of many people who publicly speak against them in order to intentionally cause a backlash and subsequently, a social rift which they and their compatriots could exploit to increase their own power. These people, just like with the apostate Count Julian in the past who assisted with the Muslim invasion of Spain, are giving the Muslims power because they see them as a tool for political leverage. They do not care about the consequences of their actions at all or who they may affect, because their eyes are solely fixed on acquiring power in this life and they will use any tool and destroy anybody if they think it will benefit them. This is again why the Catholic Faith is so important and why it is so targeted by such people, because it is the only spiritual, social, cultural, and temporal obstruction to executing their license in society.As such, the rise of Islam in the West cannot be stopped until the West gets its spiritual house in order. This cannot be said enough. Just like the canary in a coal mine, one might look at the rise of Islam in a similar way, for while the religion is itself poisonous, just like the canary in the coal mine the rise of Islam is also an indicator of the spiritual decline of a Christian people turned to apostasy.So speaking from my advice based on experience when faced with an evil like this student, don't back down from the fight but rather run at it and attack it even harder and stand stronger. Just as when a flame is put to a block of ice and temporarily melts it only to refreeze even harder, set your will as resolute and your face like flint, for if you are doing the Lord's will, then your efforts will never be in vain and when all is said and done, no matter what you may face, you will not be put to shame.<iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='640' height='390' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/N8i5NLyXZdc?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;'></iframe>

Muslim Terrorists Slaughter Two Hundred Christians In A Very Short Amount Of Time

Muslim terrorists in Nigeria, in the predominantly Christian communities in Nasarawa, have killed two hundred Christians this year so far. <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://bpnews.net/48583/200-killed-in-christian-areas-of-nasarawa-nigeria">Here is the report</a> on this dark and greatly ignored reality:<blockquote>Armed attacks by Muslim Fulani herdsmen on predominantly Christian communities in Nasarawa state this year have left more than 200 people dead and destroyed homes and farms, sources said.One such attack on a worship service on March 19 in the central Nigerian state's Oshugu village killed two Christians and displaced hundreds from the Loko Development Area of the Nasarawa Local Government Area (LGA), a survivor told Morning Star News."The attack on our village occurred this morning while we were in the church," the survivor, identified only as Ittah, said on March 19. "Our village head and one other person died, and many were injured. The sad thing is that these Fulanis have been attacking our communities, and no one is doing anything about it."Both Christians killed were members of the local congregation of the Evangelical Church Winning All.A petition to Nigeria's National Assembly by the Nasarawa-based Ajiri Afo Development Association on March 16 stated that since January armed herdsmen have killed more than 200 people and injured 500 others. The petition cites "killings, rapes, and kidnappings of our people.""We are in pain and distressed, we are dying as a result of this destruction to our economic activity in our lands," Aminu Suleiman, president of the association, stated in the petition. "Most of our farms and villages are now deserted due to insecurity."He reported continual attacks and kidnappings by Fulani herdsmen on Ajiri Afo farmers and villages in Nasarawa LGA, Kokona LGA, Agwada, Udege and Loko Development Areas."The herdsmen with their cattle would forcefully invade a farm land, eating up and destroying it," he reported. "Any form of protest by farmers results in attacks. These attacks have left more than 200 dead and 500 with several wounds, while most of the surviving victims are suffering from emotional stress."The herdsmen attacked Udeni Magaji, Ogeni, Oshugu, Odeni Gida, Odu, Oseni, Ogufa, Ogapa, Gwende, and Ajaga, according to the petition."We want the government to also ensure the security of the affected communities against further attacks," Suleiman stated.John Kennedy, a spokesman with the Nasarawa State Police Command, told Morning Star News that police are working toward curtailing the attacks.Fulani herdsmen have long attacked Christian farmers in Plateau, Bauchi, Kaduna, Taraba and Adamawa states, but recently analysts have begun to see ties between the assailants and Islamic extremist groups keen to exploit longstanding ethnic, property and religious conflicts.On Aug. 24, 2016, Muslim Fulani herdsmen hacked a 60-year-old Christian farmer to death with machetes as he worked on his farm outside of Andaha town, Nasarawa state.Herdsmen from Nasarawa state and Islamist mercenaries from outside Nigeria have attacked villages in neighboring Benue state, killing five Christians in December 2014. The Fulani herdsmen from Nasarawa state, with mercenaries from Chad and Niger, razed several villages, destroying homes and church buildings in the predominantly Roman Catholic Agatu Local Government Area and forcing hundreds of Christians to flee. In a massacre in February 2016, Muslim Fulani herdsmen killed an estimated 300 Christians in Benue state.The Muslim population of Nasarawa state could be as high as 32 percent, with Christians making up as much as 65 percent, Christian support organization Open Doors estimates. Of Nigeria's overall population, Christians make up 51.3 percent, while Muslims account for 45 percent.Nigeria ranks 12th on Open Doors' World Watch List of countries where Christians suffer the most persecution.</blockquote>

In The End, Many Conservatives Will Join The Antichrist

By Theodore ShoebatThe way I look at the Counter-jihad movement is the same way I see the pro-life movement. For decades, the pro-life movement has said that they are fighting abortion. When the chance comes to treat abortion as actual murder, they oppose it.Since 9/11, the Counter-jihad movement has said that they are opposing the "Islamization" of the West. Let me tell you, in the end, many of these "counter-jihadists" will side with the very entities they claim to fight against. Look at Le Pen. With her, its all about stopping Islamization. But what does she want to do?She wants to use the threat of terrorism to justify persecuting Catholics and Jews by preventing them from wearing religious imagery in public. At this point, Le Pen and her ilk will become what they claim to fight, since Muslims enact the same type of laws. The right-wing drools over her as they complain about how Muslims hate Jews and Christians.The Jews claimed to be enemies of Rome. But when it came to their true objective, their ultimate goal of toppling Christ the King, they revealed themselves and declared that "We have no king, by Caesar.”They will become what they claim to fight against.Look at the "ring-wing" movements and you will see a diabolical promotion of homosexuality and eugenics. Geert Wilders and Pamela Geller <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2016/09/08/the-alt-right-is-absolutely-evil-it-is-a-movement-that-is-advancing-homosexuality-and-the-spirit-of-antichrist/">spoke at the pederastic "gays for Trump" conference last year</a>, and <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="/2017/03/21/the-spirit-of-antichrist-is-conquering-europe-nazism-is-returning-fascism-is-taking-over-the-netherlands-geert-wilders-and-mark-rutte-are-both-fascists-who-believe-in-eugenics/">both Wilders and the center-right Mark Rutte are eugenists.  </a> In my debate with the leader of the Austrian Identitarian movement, Martin Sellner, my opponent --  a right-winger -- and his group, supported homosexuality and looked up to the fanatic Japanese jingoist, Yukio Mishima, as one of their icons.  All of this reveals something about the right-wing movement: it is filled with people of evil will, and those of an evil will, will always side with Satan in the end. Christ said: "there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect." (Matthew 24:24) How will the Antichrist deceive the very elect? How will he deceive "conservatives," other than through a false conservativism? It will be a conservativism that will appear so pure, that so many will not be able to see its corruption. Liberals did not murder Christ; people who appeared to have good morals, murdered Christ. And so if the Jews who murdered Christ are a precursor to the Antichrist, then that means that the Antichrist will be one who'll be able to deceive those of right-wing values.There is a reason as to why many conservatives, such as Leon Degrelle, became Nazis. The National Socialists had made themselves as the saviors against Marxist socialism, and so many conservatives praised Hitler as their defender. Today, Islamic terrorism is being used by populist politicians, as Marxism was once used, to swell the fears of the people so that they can follow them. But in the end, many of these very leaders will side with the Muslims.“We have no king, but Caesar!” These were the words of the mob, declaring allegiance to the very entity that they claimed to be fighting against. Such are the ways of a capricious people whose foundation is built upon the brittle ways of dark will. We see the mobs of today, filled with nationalism and possessed by a jingoist spirit; they look to their political leaders as though they are gods, and wave their flags as though they are holy icons. They worship their language and their race, and exclaim their desire to reach up to heaven on the tower of national egoism. They will exclaim their agenda as being one of pride, protectionism, culture and morality. They will exclaim as their enemy, foreigners of despot lands, and declare their desire to prevail over them, to establish victory for the nation. But this is only what one witnesses on the outside. For when power is about to be obtained; when the objective is about to be reached; when Pontus Pilate hands over to them the domination that they so thirst for; when the serpent slithers into their minds and brings before their eyes the empire that they so hunger for, these very proclaimers of national pride will side with the very enemy that, just moments before, they were declaring war against.This is the reality of these rising political parties and politicians that bequeath godhood on the mobs, and attribute their woes to the “elites,” when they themselves are elitist; to the terrorists, when they themselves are terrorists; to the “globalists” when they themselves are seeking for a globalism of their own. What they say they want is contrary to what is in within their own wills, and the end result of their work will only be destruction. Their will is to topple God Himself, and when the opportunity comes to advance in their diabolical goals, and it requires joining forces with those who they had described incessantly as an enemy, they will so take it. The politicians decry terrorism, they decry mass immigration; but all this is a means to end. It is a means by which to stir up in the bellies of the masses the pride that so benefits the leader; and in this state of pride, the people become slaves, for in their vainglory do they revere the despot as a savior against the enemy, and hence their pride is the means to their enslavement, and the elevation of their master. The Pharisees pointed to the Romans and the Samaritans as the enemy; the evil foreigner who was ruling them and impeding their national destiny. But as bad as the Roman or the Samaritan was, Christ saw the hypocrisy of the populists; He saw that it was their way of gaining power. They asked Christ if they should pay taxes to the Romans, and Christ asked them whose image was on the Roman coin. When they said that it was Caesar’s, He said “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God’s.” (Matthew 22:21) These words could be seen as a push for indiscriminate servitude towards the State. But they are not. These words, in truth, express the balance between observing the laws of the land and just resistance against despotism. They are certain things that the State rightfully deserves; but they are things that the State should never attempt to take away or misconstrue, and that is the eternal laws of the moral order. When the State tries to disrupt the harmony of the virtues, then it brings nothing but disarray and chaos to the souls and to the society. When the State demands an acquiescence to disorder or decadence, then it is the duty of the Christian to resist, for Caesar does not deserve such indiscriminate obedience. When Antiochus Epiphanies told the Hebrews to burn incense to false gods, Judas Maccabees and his armies resisted with zeal and tenacity; when Ahab and Jezebel were slaughtering the priests of God, Elijah slew the prophets of Baal. All of these stories demonstrate the balance between observing law and resisting tyranny; all of these stories are a physical manifestation of Christ’s words. But, when the mobbish elites had the chance to tell Pilate of the injustice of persecuting Christ; when they had the chance to defy Rome by praising Him who would transform Rome into the beacon of the Faith of Israel, they instead declared with bloody fury: “We have no king but Caesar.” (John 19:15) From being the ardent nationalists of Israel, and the most vehement enemies against the Roman occupation, they now became allies to pagan Rome. They did so, because the reality was that they really did not hate Rome, but simply used the bitterness towards the occupation of their country as a means to rile up the masses, so that they could follow them. The movement against Rome was a means to their power; it was but an object of propaganda for their own run to political influence and popularity. Their words may have had truth, but their motives were evil. If the will is evil, then words — no matter how just — will only be a means to a sinister end. In the words of Richard of St. Victor: “Whatever a person does cannot be good unless it proceeds from a good will.” (Twelve Patriarchs, ch. lxv) Hence why Christ declared to the Pharisees and scribes: “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do.” (John 8:44) While they may had said good things, the desires of the devil lied in their hearts, and from this evil will did their actions manifest themselves. St. James said: “I will shew thee, by works, my faith.” (James 2:18) The beliefs that we have within our souls, our internal convictions, manifest themselves through actions. So while the Jewish cause against Rome may have seemed just, the ultimate actions of the Jewish elites manifested their hidden agenda: to topple Christ the King and make themselves the saviors of the people. While they bemoaned the Roman occupation, Christ speaks of a Roman centurion as such:  “Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith in Israel.” (Matthew 8:10) For Christ, it was not about race, but about justice, for righteous action flows like a river from the spring of good will. In Christ, Divinity and Humanity are one in the most sublime hypostatic union; Christ is the actual incarnation of love for humanity. God would never create anything that He hates; for God is Love, and thus humanity springs from Love Himself. The Incarnation of God is thus the returning of mankind from his chaotic state, to the original state of his existence: oneness with eternal Love. One of the greatest deceptions ever taught is that the natural state of man is one of an animal. They will teach that to indulge in all of our concupiscence, is only to be in our natural animal state of existence. To be as an animal is not natural; it is in fact, unnatural and opposed to the innate state of humanity. The natural state of humanity is to be of the harmony of the eternal law. When we strive for justice, when we labor to be one with God, we are in fact in our true selves, “strengthened by his Spirit with might unto the inward man, that Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts” (Ephesians 3:16-17). For in being of the natural order, the order of virtue, one is within oneself, the true self of humanity, and thus there in this spiritual life, a union with the God-Man, Jesus Christ, in Whom Divinity and the wholeness of Man are one. In the words of Lorenzo Scupoli, “in our downfall, we fell away from God, preferring ourselves, we lost also our foothold in ourselves, and fell into the flesh; thereby we went outside ourselves and began to seek for joys and comforts there.” And on another line he writes: “instead of God within, the heart seeks for pleasures without and is content with them.” (Unseen Warfare, p. 1, ch. 21) So, instead of delving into the inward man, in our sinful ways we leave ourselves, and go contrary to our own nature. God became one with Humanity, to bring humanity back to its original state of virtue and order. But when mankind is thirsty for power and egoism, he will say things — even statements that are true and just — to fulfill his own desires for domination; and when his will is that evil, the ultimate mission is to overthrow the Kingdom of Heaven. The mob will ceaselessly decry the sins of one group to elevate its own position, but in the end, it will join that very group to murder the Savior of mankind, with the cries of, “We have no king, but Caesar!”
