Dhimmitude

I thought it was an insult or a put-down like "Don't bring the dhimmitude, dude!". Turns out it is, but in a larger sense.

Via email from TEA Party members. Thanks Brad and Steve!

Had never heard the word until now---Type it
into Google and start reading. Pretty interesting. Note that
Muslims and certain other religions are exempt from the
Obamacare penalties and it is supported by law. We are
surrendering from within! Obama is leading us right down
the path to total control!
 
Dhimmitude
 
Dhimmitude is the Muslim system of controlling
non-muslim populations conquered through jihad. Specifically,

it is the TAXING of non-muslims in exchange for tolerating
their presence AND as a coercive means of converting
conquered remnants to islam.

The ObamaCare bill is the establishment of
Dhimmitude and Sharia muslim diktat in the United States .
Muslims are specifically exempted from the government
mandate to purchase insurance, and also from the penalty tax
for being uninsured. Islam considers insurance to be
"gambling", "risk-taking" and "usury" and is thus banned.
Muslims are specifically granted exemption based on this.
How convenient. So I, a Christian, will have crippling IRS
liens placed against all of my assets, including real estate,
cattle, and even accounts receivables, and will face hard
prison time because I refuse to buy insurance or pay the
penalty tax. Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan will have no such
penalty and will have 100% of his health needs paid for by
the de facto government insurance. Non-muslims will be
paying a tax to subsidize muslims. Period. This is
Dhimmitude.
 
Dhimmitude serves two purposes: it enriches
the muslim masters AND serves to drive conversions to islam.
In this case, the incentive to convert to islam will be
taken up by those in the inner-cities as well as the godless
Generation X, Y and Z types who have no moral anchor. If you
don't believe in Christ to begin with, it is no problem
whatsoever to sell Him for 30 pieces of silver. "Sure, I'll
be a muslim if it means free health insurance and no taxes.
Where do I sign, bro?"

Now look at what they are teaching and not teaching in the schools...

Wake up folks!

God and Government - part 2

In the real world, while discussing some things that I believe pertaining to God and faith, a couple of my friends on separate occasions have labeled me a Zionist. I'll confess, I'm unsure what that term exactly means in the true definition because it seems to have several different connotations and explanations. I only use the term here as a reference point to another issue.

The topic under discussion was the Tribulation and the return of Christ as foretold in the book of Revelation. The reason we were discussing it was my belief that we, each of us, has a hand in how fast or slow that prophecy approaches.

It is said that Thomas Jefferson's motto was "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God." I happen to agree. I think that if tyranny grows, then the dark hours of the end of our world get closer. On the other hand, if we fight back tyrants and put them in their proper place, then we delay the time of the Great Second Coming. (Just think of how much closer we would be if Hitler would have won.)

I know there are those fruitcakes out there who think it's their job to accelerate the pace of this little party called Armageddon but I don't agree. It's not God's style. Why wouldn't he want the Second Coming postponed as long as possible? It's a win-win. God get's more converts and we get to stay here in freedom a while longer. The longer it takes to get here, the more worshippers for him.

I think this is why they used the term Zionist, because I believe in the Second Coming, but like I said before it may be a misunderstanding of the definition on their part or mine.

Along with this discussion, other questions have been raised. Thought provoking philosophical discussions as to destiny and free will and whether the book of Revelation is actually prophecy or just John sitting in a cave in exile being pissed off and writing a rant at the dude who stuck him there.

Me? I happen to believe it is prophesy, which led one friend to go down the destiny road and say "If it's destined to happen, then you can't do any thing about it." To which I replied ""Yes we can, we can help forestall it." Which then got into a free will vs destiny discussion. Personally, I have no problem with the two existing in the same world because if God is all knowing, then he is certainly able to know what you are going to choose before you choose it. That doesn't stop you from making the choice, nor does it force you to either.

Given today's philosophical rhetoric, Peter might have wanted to believe that he lacked a choice in denying Christ. The fact was, he did it of his own free will. Christ even told him about it up front. You would think that being forewarned about something would keep you from doing it, but he was scared for his own life and made the choice three times. The good thing was, he was forgiven the moment he did it. All he had to do was confess it. God's kinda cool like that.

One last thought. I wrote in God and Government part 1 about the power of prayer, urging all of us to pray for our country and its leaders. We need to continue interceding more than ever. Here is why:

I believe an interceding prayer is powerful not only in helping the person being prayed for, it helps the person doing the praying. I believe that when one intercedes for another, you are closer to God's will than at any other time. It is possibly at those moments when God has as close a thing to a direct connection to you than any other. Didn't he say "Pray without ceasing?" I believe that when we intercede for another we are acting in a godly fashion. Isn't there a verse that instructs us to "Act as if you have faith and faith will be given to you." or something like that? If not, it sure sounds good.

The bottom line is this. God loves us. He wants us to be like him. He doesn't want anyone to die. He gave us free will and a choice to make. The question is, what choice are you making? Keep in mind, as the band Rush put it so plainly "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."

God loves you, friend. Happy Easter.

The 'Bot's Quote of the Day Goes To...

The Troglopundit.

Here's my question: don't these guys know it's Holy Week? The most sacred few days of the Christian calendar? The day a vast number of people around the Earth will be celebrating the Resurrection - the day the most famous Jew in history saved every man, woman, and child in the entire world?
How about a little respect, you murdering sons of louse-ridden rats?

Well, Lance, to be precise, Jesus made the offer. One still has to accept. But your point is understood, at least by this Jesus loving Robot.

Find out who he's speaking of here. Wait, I'll give you three guesses but you can't use racial profiling. Nope. Don't you do it.
 
You cheated didn't you?
