L. Ray Smith - Tithing is Unscriptural Under the New Covenant

Sun, 24 Sep 2006 13:01:55 -0700

The quote fire75034 made on the review page is in fact taken out of context. The full verse says, "And the Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God ... I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess."

The same Pharisee whom Jesus condemns for his hypocritical behaviour. 'Nuff said.

From the page:
Cheerfully giving from the heart is a virtue. However, fraudulently fleecing the flock by exacting ten percent of parishioner's paychecks under fear of breaking an Old Testament law of tithing is a sin!

And that is the point of this article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source_software_packages
Here's an open-source list of open-source software. I particularly recommend OpenOffice for word processing; WordPress if you happen to be a blogger with your own webspace; Ogg Vorbis, Matroska, Xvid, and Media Player Classic for audio and video needs; Audacity for audio editing and recording; the GIMP for graphics (as a replacement for the tyrannical Adobe's Photoshop); and of course Firefox for web browsing.

Now isn't this a neat and simple list for any newbie to open source software?

Quite an intense shot, I must say. Kudos to the photographer (who also happens to be the model), though that had to be quite dangerous. Just looking at that creeps me out.

So I was just minding my business and this guy came out of nowhere and gave me a negative review, on my birthday even. Seeing that I don't know him and he doesn't know me, I'm assuming that he did that only based on a partial understanding of my political beliefs. Well, too bad for this judgmental person and his blatant disregard for other human beings.

I disagree with what this article is saying. I don't believe there was any rosy past worth aspiring to. Things have always been more or less the same, but people have become smarter, more knowledgeable overall, and unfortunately, more apathetic and cynical, to the point that knowledge is no longer an end in itself to be pursued.

It's no surprise, really, seeing how the information and population explosions of the post-industrial age revealed and rocked the foundation of urban civilization -- oppression and mutual exploitation at the expense of kinship. Our society is based on an unbelievably obsolete dehumanizing model that simply chased after boogeymen rather than faced a need for fundamental change. Dysfunctional symptoms abound, and what this article describes does not even begin to touch the tip of the iceberg.

A meaningless push poll, disguised under the name "a human right". Having firearms is not a human right.

To criticize the Clinton administration, John Ashcroft said in 1997, "There is a concern that the Internet could be used to commit crimes and that advanced encryption could disguise such activity. However, we do not provide the government with phone jacks outside our homes for unlimited wiretaps. Why, then, should we grant government the Orwellian capability to listen at will and in real time to our communications across the Web?

The protections of the Fourth Amendment are clear. The right to protection from unlawful searches is an indivisible American value. Two hundred years of court decisions have stood in defense of this fundamental right. The state's interest in effective crime-fighting should never vitiate the citizens' Bill of Rights."

John Ashcroft, to support the Bush administration's and his own heinous violations of freedom and liberties in 2001, said, "To those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberty, my message is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists, for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve. They give ammunition to America's enemies, and pause to America's friends. They encourage people of good will to remain silent in the face of evil."

Right on, Ashcroft. Hypocrisy and political opportunism (i.e. flip-flopping as they so moronically named it) always pay off when done by the Sacrilegious Right. I hope he gets tried and convicted eventually for human-rights violations and his crimes against humanity.

I wrote this a few months ago based on the MPAA warning notice on a BitTorrent site that was immorally shut down, confiscated, and used as a propaganda centre by the MPAA despite not having the authority or ethical justification to do so.

Let us fight the MPAA and teach them not to mess with the people again.

Why is France burning? A deeply insightful article that delves into the sociopolitical backgrounds most people are unaware of behind the 2005 riots that began in Paris. It completely unmasks bloodless fascist monsters such as Nicolas Sarkozy, whose only solution to any social problem is a blind marteau and a bottle of K�rcher. Is this the best the French Right can offer, garbage like Jean-Marie Le Pen and Nicolas Sarkozy? I'm deeply worried for the future of France and all of Europe.

Ha! Let governmental paranoia on national security fight corporate greed, and hopefully the two will both die as the people sweep in to assert their defiance and rights.

From the page: Stewart Baker, recently appointed by President Bush as the Department of Homeland Security's assistant secretary for policy, made a comment that suggested that some anti-piracy efforts introduced by the[music] industry could have profound and unexpected effects on the security of the nation's critical infrastructures.

Former US President Jimmy Carter expresses his views on the Sacrilegious Right and George Bush in an interview. His beliefs are actually fairly mainstream in terms of US liberal politics, and there doesn't seem to be anything exceptionally insightful about them, but for someone as influential as Carter, there is certain more hope that people might just wake up and listen to this fellow.

Glaring incompetence and irresponsibility from ex-FEMA chief. Read the last paragraph for some master spin-doctorism.

From the page:

"My eyes must certainly be deceiving me. You look fabulous -- and I'm not talking the makeup."
...
"Do you know of anyone who dog-sits?"
...
Andy Lester, Brown's lawyer, said the committee "ought to focus" on FEMA's budget and other issues and not on e-mails that he characterized as efforts to boost morale among stressed staff and deal with family matters.
