Two quick rants about our sick society

TWO QUICK RANTS:

1.  The “protests” in St. Louis...

You know, it’s one thing to “protest” something; it’s quite another to become violent while doing it. I am convinced these "protestors" who are destroying private properties are looking for a reason to do it. How childish! What I propose is this: If the police can’t round up all those who have done even the slightest bit of damage to make them pay for their silly deeds, then the taxes of whole community should be raised to pay for all the damage caused by rioters and looters. Every shop owner and every private citizen who has suffered property loss because of these rioters should be reimbursed IN FULL by those responsible! Maybe THAT will wake people up enough to start STANDING AGAINST violence and idiotic behavior and stop it in its tracks…

2 Timothy 3: 1. But know this: That in the latter days hard times will come: 2. and men will be lovers of themselves and lovers of money, boasters, proud, revilers, unyielding towards their own people, deniers of grace, wicked, 3. unloving, addicted to irreconcilable malicious gossips, ferocious, haters of the good, 4. treacherous, rash, inflated, attached to pleasure more than to the love of Elohim, 5. having a form of respect for Elohim but wide from the power of Elohim. Them who are such, repel from you. 6. For of them are they who creep into this and that house and captivate the women who are plunged in sins and led away by divers lusts, 7. who are always learning, and can never come to the knowledge of the truth. (AENT)

1 Peter 2: 13. And be submissive to all the sons of men, for Elohim’s sake; to kings, on account of their authority; 14. and to judges because they are sent by him for the punishment of offenders, and for the praise of them that do well. 15 For so is the will of Elohim, that by your good deeds you may stop the mouth of the foolish who do not know Elohim: 16. As free men, you are not like men who make their freedom a cloak for their wickedness, but as the servants of Elohim. 17. Honor all men; love your Brothers; fear Elohim; and honor kings. (AENT)

2.  Senseless deaths due to “Hazing” (a formal way of calling it what it really is: BULLYING).
Since some college kids have proven they cannot behave in a civilized manner and show some responsibility when “partying,” I propose all fraternities and sororities be discontinued and outlawed. Problem solved. These senseless deaths are occurring all too often by those who are members of these organizations.

(See  latest hazing incident; gauntlet death; and here's someone who committed suicide because of his fraternity.)

2 Timothy 3: 1. But know this: That in the latter days hard times will come: 2. and men will be lovers of themselves and lovers of money, boasters, proud, revilers, unyielding towards their own people, deniers of grace, wicked, 3. unloving, addicted to irreconcilable malicious gossips, ferocious, haters of the good, 4. treacherous, rash, inflated, attached to pleasure more than to the love of Elohim, 5. having a form of respect for Elohim but wide from the power of Elohim. Them who are such, repel from you. (AENT)

Proverbs 6:16-19 There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. (ESV)

Psalm 1:1-150:6 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; ... (ESV)

2 Timothy 1:7 For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. (ESV)
