The World will thank every single American voter, who voted for President Trump soon. All these people should be hired to teach critical thinking to the sheep who almost led themselves to the slaughter house.

And those without critical thinking skills as re mostly atheistic types who believe in science. I always hear them saying that word "science" like it hold a lot of wieght or something.

To all:
Christianity is objectively correct so far as can be rationally known, and to the extent that other religions/philosophies contradict it, to that extent they are incorrect. The totality of all science has been a mostly-unwitting exercise in proving Christianity correct. The people who developed the various fields of modern science for the most part weren't consciously attempting to prove Christianity true, yet they nonetheless ended up doing so. To wit:
God's existence is a mathematical theorem within standard physics. Standard physics is the known laws of physics, viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics. This theorem has been given in the form of physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology. These aforestated known physical laws have been confirmed by every experiment conducted to date. Hence, the only way to avoid Tipler's Omega Point Theorem is to reject empirical science. As Prof. Stephen Hawking wrote, "one cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem." (From p. 67 of Stephen Hawking, The Illustrated A Brief History of Time [New York, NY: Bantam Books, 1996; 1st ed., 1988].)
Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology has been extensively peer-reviewed and published in a number of the world's leading physics and science journals, such as Reports on Progress in Physics (the leading journal of the Institute of Physics, Britain's main professional organization for physicists), Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (one of the world's leading astrophysics journals), the International Journal of Theoretical Physics (a journal that Nobel Prize in Physics winner Richard Feynman also published in), and Physics Letters, among other journals.
Prof. Tipler's Ph.D. is in the field of Global General Relativity, which is the field created by Profs. Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose during the formulation of their Singularity Theorems in the 1960s. Global General Relativity is General Relativity applied on the scale of the entire universe as a whole, and is the most elite and rarefied field of physics. Tipler is also an expert in quantum field theory (i.e., Quantum Mechanics combined with special-relativistic particle physics) and computer theory.
For much more on Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology and the details on how it uniquely conforms to, and precisely matches, the cosmology described in the New Testament, see my following article, which also addresses the societal implications of the Omega Point cosmology:
Additionally, in the below resource are different sections which contain some helpful notes and commentary by me pertaining to multimedia wherein Prof. Tipler explains the Omega Point cosmology and the Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE).
Also, to here point out, Profs. Hawking and Penrose's aforementioned Singularity Theorems are themselves completely valid proofs of God's existence in the First Cause aspect of Him.
Further, due to Liouville's Theorem in complex analysis, it doesn't matter what form of physics one resorts to, as any physically-realistic cosmology (e.g., one capable of incorporating Quantum Mechanics, since the complex number field is intrinsic to the mathematical formulations of Quantum Mechanics) must begin at an initial singularity and end at a final singularity. (As Barrow and Tipler wrote, "Initial and final cosmological curvature singularities are required to avoid a universal action singularity." See John D. Barrow and Frank J. Tipler, "Action principles in nature", Nature, Vol. 331, No. 6151 [Jan. 7, 1988], pp. 31-34; see also Frank J. Tipler, "The Structure of the Classical Cosmological Singularity", in Origin and Early History of the Universe: Proceedings of the 26th Liège International Astrophyscial Colloquium, July 1-4, 1986 [Cointe-Ougree, Belgium: Universite de Liege, Institut d'Astrophysique, 1987], pp. 339-359; "Discussion", pp. 360-361.)

For the historical reliability of Jesus Christ's bodily resurrection and the untenability of theories which deny his resurrection, see:
For more on the historicity of Jesus Christ's resurrection, see William Lane Craig, Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth and Apologetics (Wheaton, Ill.: Crossway Books, 3rd ed., 2008), Ch. 8: "The Resurrection of Jesus", pp. 333-404, particularly pp. 360 ff.
Regarding the Christ myth theory, virtually all the items which the Christ myth theorists claim as facts which show the parallels of Christianity with earlier pagan religions are completely fabricated modern claims that can't be found in the historical record. For an excellent discussion on this, see the following video:
The above video is an interview of James Patrick Holding (editor of Shattering the Christ Myth: Did Jesus Not Exist? [Maitland, Fla.: Xulon Press, 2008], amazon.com/dp/1606472712 ) by Dr. Craig Johnson on the topic of the Christ myth theory. See also the below resources regarding the Christ myth theory on J. P. Holding's website:

The below is an excellent lecture by neuroscientist Dr. Sam Harris, one of the main leaders of the New Atheist movement, at a June 2016 TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference.
As Dr. Harris points out, unless there is something literally magic about the operations of the brain, then it is a purely physical process that can be replicated via advanced-enough technology. Harris further points out that given any rate of progress, it is inevitable that superintelligent godlike machines will one day be constructed. So Harris believes in the existence of gods, it's just that he knows--as do I--that they exist in the future; and the not-so-distant future, at that. Therefore we come to the ironic insight that materialistic atheism, consistently applied, unavoidably results in theism. Consistent scientific atheism turns out to be theism.

No way you can make that claim against Bill Barr.... if he had gone public he would have broken his own DoJ’s standing orders on never confirming or denying any ongoing investigations... look how well in the last few years that leaks within the administration and federal agencies have been significantly limited when compared to previous administrations...
You can’t fault Bill Barr for doing his job and sticking to his own rules...
And just think how the Democrats and MSM would have reacted to that.. and the possible consequences they could have achieved by Barr or anyone in the DoJ making such information public before the election.... remember Comey..?? If that situation occurred this time round about Biden et al ... things would have fallen apart in a big way this time round..

Knowing how Trump operates, I think it's safe to say there more than meets the eye.

Barr is dirty. Just look at his pedigree (Poppy Bush's AG). Done nothing, with-held evidence of crimes, appointed Durham...

It does seem like he's just another smooth talker with an incredibly high tolerance for criminal behavior.

Sessions appointed Durham. Barr only gave him prosecution powers.

Looks to me like Barr's been running out the clock. Like he never really intended to help Trump... or the American people.

Oh stop the madness, will ya. Barr is not corrupt and your brain is on overdrive. Just watch what happens.

Barr was involved at Ruby Ridge and that was corrupt. Maybe - but maybe not too. Let's watch together! (like we have a choice?)

Sounds fair. Having everyone on a watch list is fine with me. Watch em but don't slander with no proof is all I'm saying.

I agree with your sentiments. Completely. I think he and Trump are great actors who’re in cahoots with each other.

Political theater.
Dont be dumb.
They want military tribunals
Not corrupt courts.
Justice system is broken .
Military tribunals are the only way.
Barr is doing as instructed.
To bypass this infected justice system.
Military tribunals is the only proper place to handle treason.
Watch the movie.

If Barr stays I agree - if he leaves he's had a change of heart - or got caught playing games. All this brings this Herculean story to mind.
