It doesn't get any more American than religious freedom. That topic is more American than

apple pie and hot dogs. The whole sexual revolution requires so much propaganda.

They require propaganda because what they are advocating is not sustainable naturally.

The writers and the producers of contemporary Christian music are not ashamed of their

mysticism. They are mystics. They're proud of it. They're not trying to hide it. If you

said, hey, that song is mystical, they'd say, thank you. And I think the ascension shows us very

clearly that heaven is our final destiny, but that heaven is already here among us because

Christ is among us. And he will never leave us or forsake us. Swedish Lutheran lawyers love issues

etc. while by commuting to work in Stockholm, Sweden. Thank you America for supporting Europe in

this very hard time. For some reason, and the reason is unclear to me, the people for the ethical

treatment of animals, otherwise known as PETA, have decided to create their own version of the book

of Genesis. It's a very close parallel to Genesis, but some key events are missing, conspicuously

absent. And some others have just been made up. The whole point, of course, seems to be to push

their line about how the greatest evil in all the world is eating animals using animals as livestock,

keeping animals as pets or using animals for medical research. Welcome back to issues etc.
