Leeds is well within his right to expose his beliefs....and I'm sure he would recognize the validity to the saying:
"If we don't believe in the freedom of speech of those we despise, we don't believe in it at all."- Noam Chomsky
I mentioned my own country and failed to mention Leed's or a few other modern nations mentioned in that same book....
Truth is, The Holy Bible makes mention of various nations that would be influential in our time.
Although it is understandable why some would prefer it be a 'dead' book......it's prophecies are very much alive and run contrary to many a thwarted earthly hope and dream.
http://www.artisanpublishers.com/cgi-bin/ARTstore.cgi?user_action=list&category=...http://www.thercg.org/books/aabibp.html#13The United States and Great Britain both figure heavily in Bible Prophecy.
Leeds is entitled to use his observational skills to see his own way and to dissuade him from certain truths.....and, like many of those obligated to secret societies....
Embrace the dark side.
Secret societies love to make use of various geometries linked with magic.....pentagrams etc.....and the 'hexagram' or 'seal of solomon' in their rituals......They know the power of the Bible's prophecies.....Which is why they try so desperately to bind them with their machinations.
The Bible warned that their deceit would try and fool the very elect of God, were it possible.

So, While some prefer to relegate the Holy Writ of God to fable and simpleton fantasy.....the enemies of Christ and His followers work tirelessly to see her ruination largely by takeover from within.
http://www.revisionisthistory.org/talmudtruth.htmlChrist's enemies have much to say in agreement with Leeds' remark:
"The more I see of Christians, the more I love Satan"
And the bible of many who say they are Jews:
Is in total agreement with Pat.
Much of the world is in harmony with Pat's philosophy and will, itself, soon be in the throws of tantrum .
I appreciate Taiki's and other's tolerance......of my position.
And as Pat might notice, I haven't said he was going to pits of hell as a sinner, even once!
Hell, it's not my decision to make.
Pat said:
Quote:Start a thread on religion and politics, it gets nasty.
Given his statements....I must assume that the letter 'T' on the word "it" was superfluous.
Taiki's right......and although some may be willing to tolerate the views of others, some among others are all too willing to take the road of violence and hate.
That the vast majority of those who gather here are able to accept, reject, privately study, or simply overlook the views of one another without descending into juvenility is a testament to the superb quality and commensurate rarity of this website!
I will not 'co-opt' the "Other Topics" section of the forum any longer, and I thank those for whom freedom of speech is a worthy practice, not a lofty and fragile ideal, or worse.....like the bad habit of smoking....best relegated to the safety of smoker's lounges...or other niches where those already of like mind go to simply reinforce and reassure one another.
Thank you for your indulgence.
