Sorry to hear you had contact with sunshine Christians. Others who really believed will be feed for Lions without giving up their faith. Wait, they already did that. Others with be put on the rack by the Catholics of Spain anddddddddddd.....they already did that as well. You will find that many worked hard and long in places like China and Africa to bring the faith....they have done that as well. Then there will be great preachers who talk about GOD's Love and I think Billy Graham did that. In short they say when everyone has had the chance to hear about Christ, the world will start to fall apart. Someone with Roman background will bring false hope to the world as a leader. China and Russia will fight against Israel and just this week troops from Russian went where, Syria to prop up the murder there....and then Arma Gideon. The town mentioned in Egypt as the first recorded battle on the planet, will be the last battle on the planet between the good and evil near the town of Gideon. You may have heard it by another name, which means the plains below the town of Gideon on the Hill. I know this all sounds a bit unreal...but then that is what is in the Bible.

I remember reading about a Ga. Unit history and they say in one Company of the unit (don't remember which one) that after the war about half of them became ministers.

Now, you know why they don't want us to remember what went on. Why they make such a fuss over the Southern person "still fighting the war." Well, lets start with the raping, then we could also bring up the looting, not to mention the murders, and the arson of the homes of many who in one way or another had nothing to do with the fighting. I have a ggg aunt who was raped. Her house was burned down with her still in it. Her husband died in N. Al. in service with Conf. Cavalry. My gg grandfather died at South Mt. in Maryland in 1862. He left a wife with two kids. His home was burned down. He was no longer alive and the only people who lived there was the widow and two young kids. And they did this for....what? NOT for the Black man that is for sure.

They tried to sell or return a run away slave in Boston in the 1850's only for the slave catchers them selfs to go to jail. It seems that the so called run away was the minister of the leading Black church of Boston and had been a "free born man of color" there all his life. Lincoln thought that the black was less a human, as did many other Northern people. The North had Black Codes there which were brought south and they became "Jim Crow" after the war. Setting at the back of the cars (r r. cars) was for the black. The trains burned coal and the smoke would drift into the train cars windows and the smut would settle in the back. A white man getting on a train in NY city would have had "black face" when he reached Albany. That is just an example. And we all know that you don't free the slave if the North doesn't win the war. So their number one war aim was to take a gun and force the South back into the Union. Which begs the question, "Where is the land of the free and home of the brave if it takes a gun to keep the country together?" Again, they want to cover their sins for what they did to us and want us to sweep the crime of their actions under the rug. Actions that they put Germans on trial for in 1946. I guess it depends on who does the murdering, raping, looting, and burning on what we are suppose to remember.

As far as religion goes in this country we had two "Great Awakenings" of the Christian church. The first around the 1750's or thereabouts. The second one in or around the 1820's. Out of the second one came, the movement to get the ladies the right to vote, to free the slave, to chance the treatment of those who were not all there (no longer put them in jails), clean up the jails, and stop the country from drinking. Every big Lib. movement except the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960's came from that second big flood of religious awakening. So, like everything else, there are good things and there are bad things. It just goes to say that you have to take the good with the bad. You can't get rid of one, the other always comes with it. It is the "clock makers plan" There isn't going to be sun without some rain. I am not preaching, I don't preach, I'm a terrible human being. I don't walk on water. So you can take it for what it is worth. Or not it is up to you.
