No non-Moslem really trusts a vocal Moslem. So why do they trust people who make such a point that their whole world is based on their version of Christianity or Judaism?
Jews in general feel that everybody who is not a Jew is their enemy. So eachof the three major conventions of Jews in the United States, Reformed, Conservative, and Orthodox, annually adopt a resolution that there are too damned many white gentiles in America and we need to open up our borders and bring in more NON-white gentiles.
I don’t think I need to describe what would happen if a major non-Jewish convention annually passed a resolution saying there are too damned many Jews inthe United States and they feel threatened by it.
David Lawrence was a Jew who founded US News and World Report. He was not only conservative, he was hardcore pro-white. To the day he died he demanded that congress declare the fourteenth amendment invalid.
But when Lawrence died US News and World Report was taken over by other Jews, standard and packaged Jews who made it just one more liberal rag.
A person is not just himself, he is also part of his community. So rich conservative gentiles leave their money to hard-core leftist churches which give it to support Communist guerrillas in the third world.
I am very nervous about anybody who calls himself a Jew or anybody who makes a point of how Christian he is. You never quite know when he will suddenly decide you have insulted Jehovah and turn on you.
I am regularly told I am a non-Christian because I don’t swallow the Old Testament the way the whale took in Jonah. I never know when a person who seems devoted tothe survivial of the white race will suddenly have a Revelation and declare me his enemy and my race unimportant as compared to Jehovah.
These things don’t bother me as insults. Fifty years of politics makes you more or less immune to those. But what a person says tells you who he really is.
If you’re in hardball politics, you better listen CLOSELY.

You probably are right about that!

I’ve been stabbed in the back several times by folks who make a big
deal of what good Christians they are.
And the next time someone talks to me while they’re wearing a
Ten Commandments pin, I’ll ask them about their synagogue.

Since I don’t personally know anyone on this blog, I could be wrong, but I get the idea that most have had bad experiences with Churches and Christians. But instead of giving up they have dug down and hammered out and become more sure of what and who they DO believe. This is interesting to me because that’s what has happened to me. I stopped going to any church for over 20 yrs. It was very hard for me , especially since those were yrs. I was raising children. Last year I became a Catholic since I really wanted to take communion and that’s something the Catholic church sees to. It has been a help and comfort but something I still find hard is that those I have contact with seem to be more influenced by education than a real faith. When the bishop came a few weeks ago, after his homily, I knew that I didn’t trust him a bit. Now I couldn’t say anything like that to the nice ladies that have been nice to me, could I ? Shari

Shari,
That’s a bad feeling, when you can’t trust the clergy.
I’m skeptical about _my_ bishop, but I trust my priest, who’s a
real force for orthodoxy. (He’s an ex-Methodist from North
Carolina.)
Sometimes it takes some digging to find fellow Catholics who
are also orthodox and sincere about their faith. If you’ve got
Bible studies at your parish, check them out. Also, start asking
folks at your parish. You might get some heat, but there will be
some light. If not, you can change parishes. (I’ve done it several
times in my nearly 25 years as a Catholic.) It might mean more
time coming and going to church, but it will be worth it if you
feel out of place at your parish.
Check your bulletin for e-mail addresses. If you’re shy about
asking people questions about faith face to face, it might
be easier to ask questions that way. I _really_ got into
my parish’s life when I e-mailed my pastor and asked to take
over the parish library. The parish library got disbanded about
three years ago, but I got to meet a lot of fellow parishioners
because I was around the parish doing things. Since then, I’ve gotten
into other activities at my parish.

To Elizabeth if I may. Thank you for your kind reply. I’m afraid that I scarcly know my priest, or any priest for that matter and it is easier to say something on the internet. In person I can’t hardly. He is a cradle Catholic from Butte. That’s where a lot of cradle Catholics come from in Montana. In a way he seems a nice enough man without a spare hour anywhere. However after the bishop came and talked about the “much misunderstood Catholic social teaching” in a smooth opaque way,I don’t know what he actually said, the next week the priest talked about the suffering of illegal aliens. He then announced the formation of a “social justice” commitee so I think he does what he is told. I meet once a week with a group and they are very nice. I couldn’t character them as not sincere. In fact they are so nice sometimes I feel I could go home and cry. Thank you again for your reply. I find your comments on this blog quite interesting. Shari
