The Catholic Next to You Might Not Be Real
By: roetenks (Diary) | July 23rd at 10:20 AM |
A group of vocal bishops could not sway the Catholic vote enough, and Catholics voted Obama for president in a 54-46% differential. What is supposed to be a solid block of votes for one or all of the five listed “non-negotiables” (if you actually follow Catholic belief) disintegrated into a rough conglomeration of votes for the issue to which people felt most attracted. | Read More »
A Water Boarding Analogy Some Won’t Like
By: roetenks (Diary) | July 16th at 05:21 PM |
Imagine a small baby floating around in a sea of water. It’s quite comfortable, and even has a hose for prolonged submersion. The water temperature is around 97o Fahrenheit, so there’s no physical discomfort whatsoever. Its entire DNA has already been provided, so its height, weight, intellect, skin color and hair color are already known. Only problem unknown to the baby, is the carnivorous | Read More »
Rise and Fall of America’s Christian Heritage
By: roetenks (Diary) | June 23rd at 10:56 AM |
America is a Christian nation, steeped in a Christian heritage, and maintains a mostly Christian backbone to date. It’s a blow when many of the populace defers from anything Christian, and especially when the President actually feels this is a Muslim nation as well. But Christians have always grown up with adversity, disbelief, agnosticism, and atheism. America keeps surviving. Jesus even said hell shall | Read More »
North Korea–Missile Defense–The Perfect Opportunity
By: roetenks (Diary) | June 20th at 03:16 PM |
The Yomiuri Daily, Japan’s most popular paper, reported that North Korea [N. Korea Missile Hawaii] intends to launch a Taepodong-2 missile towards Hawaii sometime between 6/4 and 6/8. Even though the Taepodong-2’s range is supposedly 2000 miles, and Hawaii’s main islands are almost 4500 miles away, a launch would send a chilling message. The opportunity to have the shot heard “round the world” | Read More »
Jewish Vote Only a Microcosm of Reality
By: roetenks (Diary) | June 18th at 01:22 PM |
According to a The New York Jewish Week, article, 83% of the Jewish community in the US supported Obama in the last presidential election. Other polls put the number at 78%. Even a difference of 5% in other polls is well within the stated margin of error, especially with Obama receiving more than ¾ of the Jewish vote. That number is far from logical, | Read More »
The Answer to North Korea’s Missile Test
By: roetenks (Diary) | June 4th at 01:49 PM |
The answer is so simple that few have even thought of it. North Korea plans on another long-range test of a Taepodong-2 missile that could potentially hit the US. The answer is to shoot the Taepodong-2 missile down with our current missile defense system. A successful shoot down would indicate several things immediately to other countries. Other nation states, rogue states, and potential | Read More »
Your Sexual Exposure
By: roetenks (Diary) | May 30th at 06:56 PM |
Most of us have had sex with more than one person, right? But let’s get down to the nitty-gritty, and determine our risk of getting an STD. That is, if we don’t already have one. Actually, there are only eight common STDs. But it can be calculated what one’s chances are with the number of partners one might have. Crazy as it sounds; the | Read More »
Misinterpreting the Christian Response
By: roetenks (Diary) | May 23rd at 02:44 PM |
Many “alleged” Christians fail to see typical Christian responses to evil in the world. In the haste to stop the killing of 6 million Jews in the Holocaust, thousands of Christians signed up to go and fight. But closely scrutinize who says Christians stood back and watched in silence. Few mention Pope Pius XXII’s secret actions to transport as many Christians as possible out of | Read More »
The Pope Was Right About Condoms
By: roetenks (Diary) | May 19th at 03:58 PM |
It seems Pope Benedict XI was exactly right about HIV. In his recent comments on his way to Yaoundé, Cameroon, he said “the scourge cannot be resolved by distributing condoms; quite the contrary, we risk worsening the problem”. It’s unbelievable when the pope starts to quote science, but it’s even more shocking when so many reject plain facts [“AIDS and the Churches: Getting the Story | Read More »
“Mission Accomplished” Means More Than You Know
By: roetenks (Diary) | May 10th at 05:58 PM |
This morning Diane Sawyer (GMA) brought a “Mission Accomplished” sign out, and couldn’t wait to get rid of it because of her distaste. A more personal bias of the war in Iraq by the media has likely never been seen. The rest of the cast seemed to have the same disrespect for the sign, and anyone has to ask “What do they not | Read More »
