Western Civilisation is lost. That's the cold hard truth. We know this by looking at Europe. It is now a continent filled with atheists, agnostics and Muslims. The number of practicing Christians is now so small that it's almost unnoticeable. The churches of Europe are now mostly museums, and they've been that way for a long time. The only population that is now religiously devout is the Muslim population, and as more Muslims enter Europe, the whole continent is heading for a clash of civilisations unlike anything we have ever seen in modern times. Eventually it will reach a climax, and when it does, the riots will escalate into wars. That's when Paris will burn, and so will Rome, Berlin, London and Stockholm, along with many other cities. That day is coming. We can't know when. It may be as soon as 10 years, or as long as 30 years. Who knows? But when it happens, Americans will watch it all in horror, and only then will they begin to question the wisdom of this nation's anti-Catholic trajectory. This current 2016 election only determines when that trajectory begins. Will it start within the next few years, or later on, within a decade or so. If Trump wins, we get a short reprieve and the storm is postponed. If Hillary wins, there will be no reprieve and the storm will be upon us very soon. How long Catholic Americans (along with Evangelicals) must endure this storm, depends entirely on when it starts.

That's the main point of the piece. Traditional Catholics are protected in their ability to practice their beliefs and are heard in Bible Belt regions according to the author. How does that equate to anti-Catholic persecution.Evangelicals have sincere disagreement with traditional Catholic theology but do not persecute them. The same cannot be said for evangelicals in Latin American countries where Catholicism predominates.

This isn't entirely true in much of Eastern Europe and Russia, where religious belief has skyrocketed since the fall of communism.

But yes, Western Europe is in bad trouble if white people don't wisen up and toughen up.

Think I'm going to start proclaiming Christianity myself. Secular humanism has failed.

Sounds like what everyone was saying would happen when the Supreme Court made SSM legal. It's been a year and a half, and nothing has happened.

Nothing has been happening in Europe recently? There's a storm coming. It's already arrived in fact. Europe isn't going to go quietly.

Oh, we're definitely accounted for in the rant. Can't have any good downfall of society discussion without pointing out that gay people keep insisting on existing out there among the good people.

there was an interesting Frontline on recently about the recent terrorism in Europe. it seems that their biggest problem is that they haven't cooperated enough on a policing level. if they had a semi-competent security infrastructure in place then they most likely could have foiled these attempts. all of the people involved were already on watch lists. they just didn't have the resources or the communication channels with other countries to let them know that they needed to monitor them more closely.

Probably not too well, assuming that's a Muslim neighborhood and that's your point. I've often stated that Islam is currently a much crappier religion than Christianity for a whole host of reasons, including the way they treat gay people.

But this thread is about a Christian talking about the coming end times, and featured right there along with things most of us can objectively agree are terrible is "gay people getting married somewhere."

What makes a word "profane"? Because it's deemed unacceptable by society at a particular point in time?

I was raised Protestant, so I guess not. It's just when you post such stupid f * cking nonsense I kind of can't help it. Do you realize the disservice you are doing to your own religion with your online presence here on the boards?

That's a nonsensical opinion. Was your mother stupid?

Cussing doesn't invalidate a point.

He wasnt insulting his mom, its a common retort when someone does something undignified also common is "you kiss your mother with that filthy mouth?", perhaps its not used much on the twitter or snapchat. We also had these things called "yo mama" jokes which actually werent about peoples moms.

He certainly was insulting his mom. That was not in the same vein as the examples you listed.


saying "your mom wouldnt be proud of you" for cussing is insulting his mother?

When the post before, you claimed that their mother didn't raise them right? Yes.


you are too young to get the reference I guess, thats a very common retort, and is meant to insult the person not the mom

AstroAg17 said:

Possibly. Educate me then. What is that referencing?


back then everyone's mothers were pretty much saints, so it reminded the guy to act right, because his mom would be sad. they also said "do you kiss your mom with that mouth?"

Why don't you go read a history book about the time when Catholics were actually persecuted in this country so that you won't be quite so f *cking ignorant.

By persecuted do you mean enslaved by the Spanish like Indians were, or subject to forced conversion? Or forced to convert like the early Texan Anglo settlers?
