Pizza Bomber case - revisited

They have people arrested now, but now they are wondering of the Pizza man himself was in on the scheme.

I'm not saying that it's impossible to think so, but I am questioning how logical it would be to consider that he was apart of it. For two reasons really:
1) He's dead now so his involvement is technically moot.
2) If he was really involved in the plot and not an innocent man dragged in to a horrible situation....why would he have actually put a LIVE BOMB around his neck?

I mean....if he, the pizza man, was really in on the robbery why didnt he just "fake" the device? What could he have possibly gained by placing a live explosive device around his neck.

Obviously, all of the facts haven't been brought in so it's still likely that the Pizza Man -was- in fact in on the act the whole time. However, I still stand by my first observation that he was an innocent bystander that was forced to do something he didn't want to do.

Kinda reminds me of those SAW movies in a way, and we all know that there are copycat criminals who mimic things all the time.

A Divided Church it shall remain.

It seems that Pope Benedict XVI does not have any plans to repair the divided nature of the Christian nation.

Since forever ago the Catholic church has claimed that it was the only source of Salvation and that other churches (I.E. Lutheran, Protestant, etc etc.) were defective or not real churches. Claiming that Jesus only left behind one church and that salvation and redemption only lies with the Catholic church.

I have to tread lightly here, not because I think I might be wrong, but because I don't want to seem too callous or "uppity" about it.

Matthew 27:51 - ^(A)And behold, ^(B)the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and ^(C)the earth shook and the rocks were split.

This verse has long been interpreted to represent the breaking down of the barriers between Man and God. In the old times of the Jewish faith only the High Priests could approach the alter and sacrifice to God, but in the final moments of Jesus' death upon the Cross the walls were broken down and all of mankind would be free to talk to God. To come to God and the Son to receive salvation.......not through the tired traditions of a Priest.

John 14:6 -  ⁶Jesus said to him, "I am ^(A)the way, and ^(B)the truth, and ^(C)the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

The verse is very specific in how Jesus defines where Salvation comes from. He does not say "No one comes to the Father but through an establishment set upon the world by fallible men." No, the only way to the Father is through Jesus Christ. If I pray to the Father and I know that Jesus was the Messiah then I know where my loyalties lie. They lay in the hands of the Father....not in the hands of normal men.

The Great Commission

Matthew 28: 16-20 - ¹⁶Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. ¹⁷When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. ¹⁸Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ¹⁹Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in^[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

This last executive order was given by Christ for his disciples to go out in to the lands and to bring them the Word of God and show them the way to salvation. Jesus did not specify that one dominion of Christianity be greater than another. He said that all nations to be brought in to discipleship under the teachings that he had given his followers.

The Pope can write however many forms that he wishes, but his position as the head of the Catholic church does not hold dominion over me. I know who my savior and messiah is, and anyone who wishes to be saved can do so by giving their life to Christ and by living the examples that the Bible has left behind for us.

Whoever is not against us is for us

Mark 9:38-41 - ³⁸"Teacher," said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us."

    ³⁹"Do not stop him," Jesus said. "No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, ⁴⁰for whoever is not against us is for us. ⁴¹I tell you the truth, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to Christ will certainly not lose his reward.

If Jesus meant what he said there, and I believe that he always meant what he said, then that is proof that Jesus (who WAS GOD in the flesh) did not reserve the right to bring salvation to only his disciples. As it was stated before the only way to the Father is through Jesus the Son. Not an establishment built up by human hands.

If you pray to God, repent for you sins, admit your a sinner and that you have fallen short of the Glory of God, follow the teachings of the bible, keep the commandments, and ask to be forgiven and devote your life to Christ then you shall be well on your way to the ultimate reward: Heaven.

I know that this is a bit preachy and that it's got a really serious tone too it, but I will not apologize for my devotion and faith in Christ.

Cindy is an Idiot

Doesn't surprise me that someone decided to take Independence Day and complain about something.

I'm actually kind of glad she did complain though. Not because she is right...oh no no....her viewpoint is so far off kilter that it cannot be fixed. But because it made it easier to find out who the liberal douches in this country are.

I really don't have much to comment on this story other than "Cindy is an idiot"

The Power of Music

I am a firm believer that music moves people. In fact, I experience what I like to call "harmonic inspiration" whenever I hear a song that catches my ear. If the song is pleasing to me I usually associate a daydream or mental picture to what I think would be put to that particular song.

I am a writer (not just a blog writer, but an actual author of vast material) so I imagine that's where I picked up the odd mental tick from. The reason I am expressing this is because of the song playing in the video above. Yes, if you've seen the Grant Theft Auto 4 trailer then you've heard the song before, but for me I get a different picture when I hear it.

What? You may ask?

Our totally awesome military marching across the desert in some backwater country getting ready to kick all sorts of insurgent and terrorist [insert string of expletives here]. In short......American Soldiers...ROLL OUT. Yesterday was Independence Day, and I know if it wasn't for those awesome and totally righteous men and women in uniform then this country wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

So, if any troops pop by this site just know you gotta a fan and enjoy the tunes I post every now and then.

San Francisco steps up again as the dumbest city in America.

Looks like they wanted Socialized Medicine REAL bad.

That's all well and good just as long as it stays in SF and isn't spread out across the nation. Honestly, I like my private healthcare and I really really don't want the government involved in it. They obviously screw everything else up, so why let them have my healthcare?

Seriously, the free market is the way to go on the Healthcare problem. Sure, it isn't perfect but it's leaps and bounds greater than anything Socialism has to offer. I for one hope that the system crashes and burns in San Francisco so that everyone will finally see how idiotic it is.

Gaming News : Eternal Sonata in! Beautiful Katamari out?

Since I'm a huge gamer I keep my ears to the ground on the newest rumors and murmurs coming out of the gaming world. Being a long time Sony customer, and why shouldn't I be? They've been a wonderful company, I usually feel great joy hearing good news that benefits Sony. Especially these days when it seems that Sony gets about as much bad press as the American Military.

Take THAT Mainstream Media.

So, being the Sony supporter that I am, and military supporter, I like to brag on the makers of the Playstation when good things go their way.

1) Good News - The news that Eternal Sonata is coming to the PS3. Good news for me considering I'm an avid R.P.G. player and a game that approaches a story like this one certainly gets my attention.

2) Bad News - Rumors are starting to surface that the PS3 version of Beautiful Katamari has been cancelled so they can focus on a Wii version. The news story surfaced on IGN, but has not been confirmed by Namco-Bandai and the mainsite still lists the PS3 and 360 as it's target systems. The reporter that broke the story is also IGN's Nintendo representative so It's possible he jumped the gun out of fandom.

Not that we haven't been guilty of that at least once. I'm trying to get confirmation on the story to see if it's actually true, so i'll update once I get a response. Here's to hoping that another game hasn't shifted away from Sony which would further hamper my buying decisions for a next-gen console.

Hezbollah bomb maker captured in Iraq

Allah has the full story here.

Turns out that the bomb maker, named Daqduq, was comissioned by Iran to make weapons in Iraq to use against American Soldiers. Now, I'm sure the left will come out in droves and start screaming that all of this is speculation, but we already had speculation back in January. I guess this is what some people would call a "compelling argument" then.

One has to ask themselves though....why is a militant group from Lebanon (Hezbollah)  reaching all the way across Iraq and dealing with Iran? I may just be connecting the dots here, but considering Hezbollah has dedicated itself to destroying Israel annnnd Iran has done the same thing then I figure their terrorist team-up isn't so shocking.

So, now that we have evidence can we finally lay down the law on these idiots?

Barry Obama raises racord $32.5 million for campaign.

Barry's got himself a nice bit of "foldin' money" right there.

But by the recent poll numbers it isn't really helping his chances on becoming the Democratic candidate for the actual election. He's trailing the Harpy (read : Hillary) by double digits in alot of polls now so he'd better start actually spending that money towards advertising if he wants to get his face out there more.

Heck, Edwards is in last place and "I've" seen his mug on television more than the top two frontrunners. Doesn't matter how much money they save up.....they all suck anways.

Like they say : "The worst republican is still better than the best Democrat"
