Again, are the judges acting "above and beyond the wishes of the people" if a majority of the people now support secular gay marriage.To say the majority "now" supports gay marriage is pure speculation. What we do know for fact is that the voters in several states voted against gay marriage, and their vote was overturned by a few corrupt judges and state attorneys. Even DOMA was voted into law by many, but was also overturned by a few bad eggs.
The facts are, a few are overriding the votes of many.
This is what you just made me think of -
It should be mentioned that three states have approved gay marriage by voter initiative or referendum. The tide is turning.
Not that I disagree with many of his points but I hope no one thinks that Satan had anything to do with the text of the article.Sorry if this doesn't have anything to do with the topic but I thought it did.

What part of NO don't you understand?
There are no mainstream reports of anything Biblical. Or of anything which might confirm Bible prophecy.
You just want ME to look it up, which I already have in the past, and post it and I'm telling you "no".
When you really care about something, you try to find it online. The fact that you keep pestering me to look it up for you says you just want to challenge my sources.
Yours or someone's threat that they wouldn't believe anything I said was the threat I was speaking about.
Enjoy the rest of your evening.

There is a lot of evil in America. Much of which the people don't even see. There is evil in our politics, on both the liberal and conservative factions. There is evil in many of our churches, in our entertainment industry, and every where we look.
But, there is also good in every thing that I mentioned.
I fully understand the word No. The point I keep trying to make, and which you keep ignoring, is that you need to stop claiming that your statements are "facts" if you are unwilling to offer proof, and stop saying that other are refusing to examine "evidence" if you refuse to provide it.
So there is no proof.
You simply don't get this--burden of proof rests with the affirmative. If you claim that something is a fact--as you did when you said that it is a "fact" that the number of earthquakes is increasing, it is up to you to prove it. Otherwise such statements are nothing more than opinion.
No, I simply want you to prove that what you are claiming is indeed fact. Your refusal to do so means that your statements are nothing more than opinion. Again, burden of proof rests with the affirmative.
That wasn't a threat. That was a simple statement of fact--I won't believe your claims unless you convince me that they are correct by offering credible evidence to support them. Otherwise your statements are nothing more than your opinion. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't turn your opinions into facts.
Already did. You enjoy your day.
Yeah, I know that good being found in conservative media and politicians is very hard to find but a few of them really want to help the poor and those in need and are not about the love of money. A few, such a very few.Where is there good in every thing that you mentioned? IMO, even their good has an evil purpose.

Even though the liberals and conservatives in the entertainment industry are evil in many ways, we can also see them spending time helping raise money for various charities.
Evil is easy to see in the world but good is also easy to see for one living in God's Holy Spirit.
EARTHQUAKE : FREQUENCY : TRENDS : Have earthquakes increased : Record of major earthquakes on earth since middle 19th century, including 20th century and 21st century... and the "End Times" prediction

Are Earthquakes Really on the Increase?
Are Earthquakes Really on the Increase?
We continue to be asked by many people throughout the world if earthquakes are on the increase. Although it may seem that we are having more earthquakes, earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or greater have remained fairly constant.
A partial explanation may lie in the fact that in the last twenty years, we have definitely had an increase in the number of earthquakes we have been able to locate each year. This is because of the tremendous increase in the number of seismograph stations in the world and the many improvements in global communications. In 1931, there were about 350 stations operating in the world; today, there are more than 8,000 stations and the data now comes in rapidly from these stations by electronic mail, internet and satellite. This increase in the number of stations and the more timely receipt of data has allowed us and other seismological centers to locate earthquakes more rapidly and to locate many small earthquakes which were undetected in earlier years. The NEIC now locates about 20,000 earthquakes each year or approximately 50 per day. Also, because of the improvements in communications and the increased interest in the environment and natural disasters, the public now learns about more earthquakes.
According to long-term records (since about 1900), we expect about 17 major earthquakes (7.0 - 7.9) and one great earthquake (8.0 or above) in any given year.
As far as the eclipses go, what good are they if they cannot be seen in Jerusalem? Only 1 of the lunar eclipses will be visible in Jerusalem and none of the solar eclipses will be seen from there.
What makes you think that I didn't read the articles thoroughly? That I didn't agree with everything which they claimed?You see, I knew that you wouldn't even read the articles thoroughly.
You didn't provide any proof. You provided evidence of what you believe is true but your sites didn't give proof. The sites which I gave provided some facts which showed that all of the claims that your sites gave are not entirely true or if true, such as the eclipses, do not apply to Biblical prophesy since the eclipses have nothing to do with Jerusalem.That is why I never waste my time posting links and I never will again. Don't anyone bother to ask for "proof" ever again.
But the site which I gave showed that the increase is due to the increase in seismic detection stations and not due to an actual increase in earthquakes.It even listed the number for each year from something like 1934 or something like that and it's obvious that they have increased.
There is no reason for what you call "mainstream" not to want people to know facts. You expect people to accept the info that you give but you refuse to accept what others give you. Your sites don't have better information than scientific sites.But mainstream doesn't want anyone to know that.
What else would expect for an article which was wanting you to believe their information when they couldn't back it up.It even says so in the article.
And you posted lamestream.You, of course, posted mainstream, which you always do.
Rat. That is what you are.Sheep. That is what all of you are.
Go ahead and follow Satan's Pied Piper like the rats.Go ahead and lead each other off the cliff.
Hmmm. So you think that a lunar and solar eclipses which cannot be seen in the Jewish State of Israel somehow apply to Jewish prophesy? That is like saying some guy who called himself the Messiah of the Philippines took the place of our Lord Jesus Christ and you are praising his name.And in response to your response about the blood moons and eclipses, this is what you sound like: Well, what difference did it make to have Jesus die for our sins when very few really believe in Him?
But almost no Jew will see the eclipse, except some who live in the south Pacific. The Jews of Israel will look up, while they are observing their feast and see a bright full moon with absolutely no red tint and think, the Lord has blessed this wonderful evening.The Jews will be observing their holidays.
BTW, did you read your article well enough to see that, what you condemn as a mainstream site, is cited by your article? And the site which your article also cites, also uses my site, the USGS as their reference. What then makes the info which I gave you, directly from the USGS mainstream or less factual than the ones you give, which pencil whip the USGS figures to make their claim?You see, I knew that you wouldn't even read the articles thoroughly.

I got what your article was saying. But why did you attack me when all I did was post what the USGS stated. The same USGS where your article got some of its data? Did you actually read what the USGS stated?My article did not USE small earthquakes because they only have seismic detection stations nowadays.
Your article proved none of the sorts. It claims that the USGS shows an increase but the graph of earthquakes at the USGS shows that, for the most part and except for a year or two earthquakes world wide remained fairly constant since 1900, when measuring earthquakes 8.0 or greater. There was a peak of 4 in 2004. This is also with a vastly higher number of seismic stations.Magnitude 8 and Greater Earthquakes Since 1900My article used large earthquakes and proved that there are more.
And why not? The festivals are Jewish festivals which were celebrated in Israel during the OT period. The blood moon would be a symbol for the Jews.I don't get your gibberish at the end, but it doesn't matter if Israel SEES the eclipses or blood moons.
So you get to tell God what matters about the festivals which he gave to the Jews to celebrate. They are not Christian holy days.What matters is the date they fall on.
I don't really care what happens on a Jewish holy festival. I am a Christian.Why don't you read about them and maybe you'll find out the truth.
What you wrote was far more inflammatory than what I wrote and if you actually read it, you would understand what the reference was about.To call me an animal which is a scavenger is inflammatory and against the rules.

Your article tried to claim that large earthquakes were on the rise while the USGS stated "Although it may seem that we are having more earthquakes, earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or greater have remained fairly constant."
If what I posted was "mainstream" your article also used some data from the same "mainstream" source.

Pied Piper-
The Pied Piper of Hamelin lured the rats to the river to be drowned. I said that you were a rat, not a scavenger, but a follower of delusional temptations offered by those sites that you so love.
- A person who offers others strong yet delusive enticements.
- One, such as a leader, who makes irresponsible promises.
Strong words for someone who provides an article which uses the figures from the USGS. That would mean that your article was lying as well.The USGS article is lying.
Thank you because I could care less what you think of me. You obviously show that you have gone off the deep end. Scripture tells us that there will always be people like you who try to fill faithful Christians with fables so as to sway them away from our Lord Jesus.I don't really care what you think, Yarddog.
I am completely calm because I know the facts. You only think that you know people but you continually show that is a false concept because you resort to bantering when you have been rightfully challenged.I know that when someone hits your nerve, you go into unending criticism of that person and say things that are not true because you get so unhinged. It's not going to bother me at all.
From the information that I have read, the moon is always reddish after a total eclipse. It is red because it is being illuminated by the sun's rays which have passed through the earth's atmosphere.The Blood Moons have happened three times in the last 500 yrs. if I recall correctly.
Why stop at Catholicism? There is virtually no Christian Church which celebrates the Jewish festivals.One of the problems with Catholicism is their lack of interest in the Jews and their holidays.
I don't think that you understand that the Jewish festival pointed to Jesus and they were fulfilled thus they are not necessary to anyone who is in Christ.Of course, if you understood the OT and the NT would might know that.The Old Testament is a fascinating love story between God and His people.

A Blood Moon or Hunter's Moon is the first full moon after the Harvest Moon.
It is also red, at times, just after it rises or sets. That has to do with the scattering of the light particles. In any case, the moon is never red. It just appears that way due to the light passing through our atmosphere.
So, there have been many many many red moons and Blood Moons.

My article only used the USGS to point out that the USGS is wrong.
You'd better go back to school because those grade school kids are brighter than you.Your article from the USGS points out that they are "often asked...". Why? Because what they say doesn't fit with what is happening. A grade school kid could figure that out.
Even a grade school kid could understand what you call gibberish.The rest of your post is just gibberish.
I wasn't explaining away miracles in the sky. I wasn't giving the scientific reason for a natural occurrence. Here, read one of the mainstream sites. I'm sure that you will try and explain NASA away with that lame excuse.It is so sad to see you "explaining away" miracles in the sky, placed there sometimes as warnings, sometimes to let us know how valuable His chosen people are to God.
I certainly do believe that God "can" speak to us through signs in nature but I don't believe that every natural occurrence is a sign. Especially when there isn't anything from scripture which backs it up. A lunar eclipse meant more to the Jews than solar eclipses because the calendar was based on the moon. The important part was that they had to be visible from Jerusalem.You apparently don't believe that God speaks to us through signs in the sky, which Jesus prophesied.
They are not trying to provide a scientific reason, they gave scientific fact as to why the moon appears to be red as the eclipse is waning.You are siding with the scientists who try to provide a scientific reason for it.
Well, at least you finally said something correct.It doesn't matter because God can use science since He created it.
Who is doing that?But Christians using science to debunk God and His works is very sad.
No, I always side with God but science hasn't disproved God in the slightest manner. Science gives us better understand to the wonders of God. The wonders of creation.You frequently take the side that is against God, Yarddog.
You really don't understand anything about people.So I guess that since the Jews were temporarily blinded purposely by God, they should have stopped observing Passover, Yom Kippur and even Hanukah. No, that is the snobbish Christian, "we are perfect and you missed the boat" attitude toward Jews. Shame on you.
