The head of the Protestant Church in Germany has called for Islam to be taught in state schools across the country as a way to make young Muslims impervious to the “temptation of fundamentalists.”

The Vatican has voiced support for global health care goals and has said that Catholic institutions are committed to combating problems like communicable diseases.
“The Holy See delegation welcomes the vital emphasis on the dignity of the human person and the strong focus on equity expressed in the pledge that ‘no one will be left behind’,” said Bishop Jean-Marie Mupendawatu.

“President Barack Obama defended his decision to open up bathrooms to students of both sexes based on preference, citing his religious faith as a reason he decided to do it. “My reading of scripture tells me that that [the] Golden Rule is pretty high up there in terms of my Christian belief,” he said during a town hall in Elkhart, Indiana.

There are two reasons he’s making it an issue. #1, it’s his second term and unless he has plans to enforce martial law to suspend all elections and declare himself a Vatican emperor that emulates Roman Catholic emperor Adolph Hitler, he cannot legally run for another term, and so crazed political agendas (like transgender bathrooms in schools) is on his duty roster now because everyone knows to speak like this in his first term would most assuredly prevent a second term. And #2, Rome demands he push the perversion of society and especially in the homosexual arena so as to bring about the Vatican’s long sought after plans to normalize homosexuality, which they have already done, which will then set the foundation to normalize pedophilia, which is the top shelf agenda for the Vatican prelates as well as Satan’s main driving force that allows for decadence to reign globally giving him all sorts of permission to be in the lives of many. And yes there is a 3rd reason, but until I have rock hard evidence to verify it I will keep that to myself for now. Continue reading…

CINCINNATI — Judge William Mallory enjoys handing out creative sentences from his bench over at the Hamilton County Courthouse.
But the one he meted out in his Municipal Court room Wednesday wasn’t even his idea.
And boy, oh boy, did he like it.

“The European Union reached an agreement Tuesday with some of the world’s biggest social media firms, including Facebook and Twitter, on ways to combat the spread of hate speech online. Under the terms of a code of conduct, the firms, which also include YouTube and Microsoft, have committed to “quickly and efficiently” tackle illegal hate speech directed against anyone over issues of race, color, religion, descent or national or ethnic origin. The sites have often been used by terrorist organizations to relay messages and entice hatred against certain individuals or groups.” –Source
And how will they define the hate speech? If it speaks against any viable foundational structure regarding Rome’s long prophesied agenda to place a mark on every person on earth, they will make the biblical truths that the remnant people preach illegal. The fact using the Bible to share truth with people in danger of hellfire is already considered a hate crime in Canada as well as in America confirms any mention of biblical truth will soon become illegal worldwide.
