RE: Stupid things religious people say
Sean Duffy and his wife claim that because they are Catholics they don't want to send their daughter to Harvard because it will corrupt her mind. So they are saying that education is bad for religion.



teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Oh no. The new Disney cartoon is trying to get children to worship Satan. And it's not just Disney cartoons but also the Walmart and all other stuff outside your house and church. So beware.

Quote:Former Psychic Turned Christian Sounds Alarm Over Disney’s New Kids Movie ‘Hexed’ and Its Portrayal of Witchcraft

Former psychic turned Christian Jenn Nizza is warning that Disney’s upcoming animated film, "Hexed," is normalizing the occult amongst children.

Speaking with CBN News, Nizza did not hold back, giving her thoughts and opinions on what she believes Disney is doing with their upcoming animated film. She mentioned that the company is showcasing witchcraft or necromancy “in a really beautiful way,” despite the practice being strictly prohibited by Scripture.

“[It] makes me think of Satan masquerading as an angel of light — and that’s really disturbing,” she said.

The film, which is set to be released in theaters on Nov. 25, centers on a teenage girl named Billie, who is struggling to fit in as a social outcast, a misfit. Later in the animated film, Billie, voiced by Hailee Steinfeld, discovers she has "peculiarities," which may be "magical powers," according to IMDB's description of the film.

Billie then uses these newly-discovered powers to travel to a world called Hexe, where the young woman then learns all about spells, witchcraft and other areas of the occult, according to Faithwire.

Nizza, who posts content about exposing the occult on her YouTube channel, argued that other films Disney has released up until this point have made it possible for people to accept a film such as "Hexed." We've grown desensitized to things regarding the occult because bits and pieces of it have been sprinkled throughout their films.

"What you're explaining is the desensitization by the enemy," she said. "By making these things normative, number one. But number two: easing you into things. So, those secondary characters that had some magical powers and what have you, but they weren't the villain of the story, but let me introduce you to this. Let me start little by little, by little getting you used to it. So now, when I give you this movie 'Hexed,' you're in a culture now, where, Trey, it's trending to be a witch."

But what is projected on the big screen wasn't the only thing Nizza blamed for this apparent acceptance of the occult; she said that social media and even what we see in retailers such as Walmart have also helped lay the groundwork for relaxed attitudes toward witchcraft and sorcery.

“It’s so important to disregard the aesthetic, because it’s the same evil and it’s the same author of these practices: the devil,” she said.

How to defeat Orthodox Jewish soldiers? Send a woman.

Quote:Gaza mission canceled after religious troops refuse to serve with female paramedic

Soldiers in the Givati Brigade’s Rotem Battalion refused to enter an armored personnel carrier in the Gaza Strip for operational activity on Tuesday night because a female paramedic was attached to the force, the Israel Defense Forces said Wednesday.

As a result, the mission was canceled, according to the army.

The incident was the latest in a series of cases of male Orthodox soldiers refusing to interact with servicewomen in the army, due to the men’s religious sensibilities. The cases play into the larger debate in Israeli society over whether Haredi men must serve in the military, and how much the IDF must do to accommodate their religious observances and strictures.

The IDF said that “soldiers who maintain a religious lifestyle are entitled to carry out operational activity within a gender-segregated framework, except in exceptional cases.”

“The force refused to carry out the operational activity, and as a result, the activity was canceled,” the military said.

In a separate incident on Monday, a group of female soldiers was briefly denied entry to a military outpost in northern Israel because an ultra-Orthodox unit was stationed there, Channel 12 reported.

A man raping his daughter is actually God implanting a child into that girl.

^Given the number of conceptions that result from sexual assault, the only possible conclusion is that God is not only a rapist, but a serial rapist.

A holy cow was electrocuted by a fallen wire in Madhya Pradesh, India, so people decided to punish an electricity transformer with sticks.
