Excusing the death of innocent children in Gaza with the excuse of "human shields", is like telling a parent who's child was raped that it's their own fault for letting them leave the house.
For those that don't know me, let me let you in on a little something about me. I am like a total goofball. I love joking around. I don't take life too serious. I have a weird sense of humor. I'm annoying. I don't let a good/bad disagreement get in the way of a bad/good friendship. I don't get mad at people over the internet. I don't really get mad at people in real life. I'm happy go lucky. You can find me either smiling, looking goofy (my normal look), or whistling at work (and if you work with me chances are you've made fun of me for it at least once) I don't expect people to believe everything I believe. I am passionate about my beliefs. I respect that you are passionate about yours. If you disagree with me or I disagree with you, I still love you irregardless. (don't you just love that word? the dictionary sure doesn't) It's hard to offend me to the point where I hold a grudge, usually I'm over things within a cou
I've figured out the real reason John Piper of Desiring God doesn't like Game of Thrones . Although it is fantasy, historically many of the dark themes and events of the show and books have happened in past times. The past ages of this world have been filled with a kind of sickness, disease, killing, raping, abuses, slavery, etc. that our events pale in comparison to.

The secondary fallout from this revelation, excuse the pun, would be that it would take $$$ out of the pockets of these doom and gloom end times harbinger writers and preachers. People could actually use the money
I've noticed that human nature is all about exclusion. It's "us against them", it's my state against the next state, my city against the next city, my neighborhood, against the next neighborhood. It's in sports, extracurricular activities, Star Wars vs. Star Trek, car brands, cars vs. trucks, cars vs. motorcycles, social media sites, political parties, skin color, etc. The list would be quite exhausting if I continued to provide examples, but one huge problem is that exclusion has become a major part, a poisonous part, of a group that should be completely focused on inclusion. Exclusion has corrupted the minds of many whose hearts should be drawing them to being open and loving, reaching out to those that they think are different. Exclusion has caused a love to go cold. Exclusion has caused a man to despise his neighbors, every neighbor around the world. That group that exclusion has become such a major part of is... ...Christians. When we study these tr
