142 - PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS - NEFARIOUS DESIGNS - EXPLAINING the MIDDLE EAST PROBLEM - PSEUDOPARODY RELIGIONS - 7.0

We are living in a new age of religious persecution and even martyrdom.OPEN DOORS WORLD WATCH LIST 2024More than 365 million Christians suffer high levels of persecution and discrimination for their faith. There has never been a state in the geographic area known as Palestine that was not Jewish. Israel is the third Jewish state to exist in that area. There was never an Arab state, never a Palestinian state, never a Muslim or any other state. That’s the issue: why can’t the one Jewish state the size of El Salvador be allowed to exist? The Persecution of the Church first started in Acts 5 We obey God not men. When the government gets to the point where it persecutes the Church the Church must stay faithful to its mission.The Lord will accomplish his purposes and His will through whatever political movement. On a moral level, you have no moral right to promote a non-religion that is specifically directed at hatred of Christians. That's exactly what this is. Now, you may have a legal right to do that, but that's not the same thing as a moral right to do it. These are two different types of right. We have all sorts of legal rights to do things that are immoral in American Society. So, we have to separate those two things off because very often when we were talking about rights, we tend to conflate them. We tend to think something is legal, therefore it's moral, or it's moral, therefore it's legal. No, that's not the same thing. It is legal to use foul language or even racist speech in public, for example. It is immoral to do so. You should not. Similarly, it is not immoral to knock down a satanic statue. It may be illegal to do so, but it certainly is not immoral.From WikipediaDudeism is a religion, philosophy, or lifestyle inspired by "The Dude", the protagonist of the Coen Brothers' 1998 film The Big Lebowski. Dudeism's stated primary objective is to promote a modern form of Chinese Taoism, outlined in Tao Te Ching by Laozi (6th century BCE), blended with concepts from the Ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus (341–270 BCE), and presented in a style as personified by the character of Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski, a fictional character portrayed by Jeff Bridges in the film.Dudeism has sometimes been regarded as a mock religion due to its use of comedic film references and occasional criticism of religion in its traditional sense, but its founder and many adherents take the underlying philosophy somewhat (although not overly) seriously. March 6 is the annual sacred high holy day of Dudeism: The Day of the Dude.
