Well, it happened, Hussein is dead. Executed by hanging. I have mixed emotions on the subject. First of all, I was shouting for joy when the man was removed from power (though I never quite got to the extreme of Iraqis, it is not smart to shoot guns straight up) However, I am strongly opposed to the use of the death penalty (and a Conservative too! The ideas mix, really!)

When I found out about Saddam's death, I prayed, I prayed for the man's eternal soul, I prayed God would have mercy on him. Then I found myself thinking, what kind of a man am I to be praying for a ruthless, murdering dictator? Then I realized, I am a Christian, a real Christian, and I knew, for the first time in my life, what it meant to truly do what Jesus said, and love my enemy. The world is probably better off without him, but I think as God truly works in mysterious ways, Saddam taught my a valuable lesson, bet that would piss him off.

 

Anyway, just wanted to share that, sorry for the personal story in there, but the real news is Saddam Hussein was executed, so there.

 

 

Amen to that.

Mixed emotions here as well. I will offer an Iron Maiden song to Saddam: Hallowed be Thy Name.

Don't forget to pass me a link.

 

Not only that, but I believe Iraq will be easier to handle-at least a little. Once people realize, holy crap, the last dictator is power is DEAD, not just in a minor setback, but DEAD, some of the radical Imams will probably not be as keen on being the next power hungry, maniac dictator

 

Haha, I know you are going to pass that link along too

Anybody like the new signature??

hoorray hoorray.

The answer is yes, according to this news article, if it is reliable:

 It probably won't take long for the video to leak

 

Btw, love the sig

Syd Barrett pwns! Errr, pwned.

 

 

Unspeakably horrible things that no one should ever have to go through...maybe worse, I don't know. Probably not playing with any of the Saints, that's for sure

 

 

 

Any South Park watchers?? Anybody...?

 

I wouldn't call Saddam a martyr, I personally, as a Christian, don't believe in the Qu'ran

But the people who would consider the murderers like Saddam martyrs are the sick b*****ds who started the whole jihad movement in the first place!

 

Jesus mother is in heaven and she was a virgin

Hmmmnn..... cookies.........

OK, hold up, hold up......

 

 

You can't call seconds on a virgin

 

She's 2019 years old, and death for most of the time, have a nice lunch.

 

Yea, didn't he have some sort of an accident

Does the phrase Saddam executed ring a bell?

 

 

for those unaware. I so oppose to this event, I can hardly control my anger.

We were all in the process of trying to find footage of Saddam being sliced!

 

Oops, sorry tuxon, I didnt know you were opposed to this. I thought it was a time of celebration for America. I apologize!

 

No need to apologize.

 

Have fun and make jokes about it, I know I will. but that doesn't change my opinion on killing humans (how inhuman the person might be).

 

Let's make one

 

Ahh good old Youtube. Has anyone seen the Battle Of The Album covers?? Its epic!

 

I'm in favour of excecuting freewill.

 

This is wat my God told me:

 

 "Blessed are the poor in spirit,

for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn,

for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the gentle,

for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness,

for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful,

for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart,

for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,

for they shall be called children of God.

Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake,

for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

"Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

"You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men. You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can't be hidden. Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

"Don't think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn't come to destroy, but to fulfill. For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished. Whoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

"You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'You shall not murder;' and 'Whoever shall murder shall be in danger of the judgment.' But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment; and whoever shall say to his brother, 'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council; and whoever shall say, 'You fool!' shall be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.
"If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him in the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison. Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there, until you have paid the last penny.

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;' but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

"It was also said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,' but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.

"Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,' but I tell you, don't swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God; nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can't make one hair white or black. But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.

"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you, don't resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also. If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also. Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. Give to him who asks you, and don't turn away him who desires to borrow from you.

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't even the tax collectors do the same? If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don't even the tax collectors do the same? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

 

This is Judean law, not christian.

 

And thus claiming that the law was a past thing, replacing it with a new law, and a new interpretation. Leaving intact the previous notion, and keeping the people who lived within and following that law prior to his arrival within his kingdom. The old law didn't count anymore as he was there to replace the old believe and the old law with a new commitment from God to men to accept jesus's sacrifice to fulfill the prophecy and allowing people to follow into the Kingdom Of heaven.

 

or something like that.

 

 

jesus's Crusifixion was still the fulfillment according to the Old law, for indeed he didn't invalidated them, he re-wrote them and his death sealed the new pact, within the confines of the old-pact (old testament).

 

 

They need to make a TV movie where Bill Cosby and Elton John read the Bible, you know, just to give it some pizzazz

 

English is not the first language of all Canadians.

 

Calling other memebrs unintelligent or ignorant is out of line, end of story.

 

Moving on...

 

Bertrand Russell did a trial of LBJ for war crimes in late 60s... no effective action only the legitimate issue.

 

Talking about Saddam's execution, I think he should die in prison as old as possible, gathering manure, ironing clothes, sweeping floors, etc. Now he became a martyr!

 

I know I do.
