The Laughing Churches

Recently, CNN reported on one of those churches where the congregation laughs 
its heart out while they are worshiping God.
The argument behind all this laughter is God does not ask us to be miserable
while we are serving Him.

And the preacher on that CNN show aslo argued
that being sad or depressed at church while we are praying is not what God
asked from us.

Another minister said in one of his preachings: Hippopotamus, peacock,
Dachshund, giraffe, hummingbird, dolphin, fireflies, and humans like us:
Herman, Thelma, Josephine, and Thomas: If you look around at all the
creatures of the world, and we humans in all our vibrant variety, don’t you
have to conclude that God has a great sense of humor? And he went on to quote some passages in the Bible where laughter is referred to.     

In other words, those ministers were telling us that God likes laughter too.

Generally speaking, I wish we all were laughing at a lot things! Maybe we
would see less bad things across the world: maybe less wars, less
greediness, less selfishness, less crimes, less hatred...       

Above all, the politicians would stop blowing things out of proportion,
because they' d know that we all would start laughing at them instead of
us getting scared and depressed whenever they open their big mouth about
this, about that, and about things that only exist in their minds...

The deck is stacked at the outset

This kid is dead because the deck was stacked against him. Stacked by the same system that was claiming that "all men were created equal"... while other men were kept in slavery in houses of the same who wrote those lines and were impregnating black women..., while other men were being hang in the streets, lynched... Some said the jury were exclusively applying the laws of self-defense, as though justice were not also a combination of fairness, morality and good. I bet those women of that jury that got George Zimmerman free, without even a slap on the wrist, went to church thereafter. They should and must be asking themselves: What Jesus would have done? A nation or a country that cannot provide justice to its citizens would not enjoy peace, like Cain after he killed his brother Abel (Genesis 4:8) Carl Gilbert

Tandis qu’Israël continue ses ravages à Gaza, les médias enflamment la crise (3 langues)

                                                                                       Par Amy Goodman de Democracy Now Traduit de l'anglais Fran ç ais Alors qu'Israël intensifie sa réponse brutale à l'attaque brutale menée par l'organisation Hamas le 7 octobre, il est important d'entendre les voix de ceux qui se trouvent sur la ligne de feu, des deux côtés du conflit. Les principaux médias américains nous offrent constamment les voix des Israéliens qui ont subi les actes de violence du Hamas. J'aimerais que les médias couvrent également de cette manière la douleur dont souffre la population civile de Palestine, car nous entendons rarement sa voix. Écouter le récit des victimes dans leur propre voix est la première étape pour faire tomber les barrières et cultiver une c...
