Stephen Hawking Says Humans Should Leave Earth ASAP

Have you noticed how many doomsday scenarios are being played out in the headlines on almost a daily basis?

If you throw in Hollywood movies about meteors, volcanoes or aliens destroying planet earth and it would seem that SOMEONE is preparing humanity for something big.

Today we find out that one of the smartest men on planet earth is saying we need to prepare to leave the planet.

Renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking has been extremely vocal in recent months about his feelings that humanity needs to get off of Earth as soon as possible. With a troubled climate, ever growing population, and mounting risks of apocalypse at our own hands, Hawking has taken the stance that we'll need a new place to live as soon as 100 years from now. Now, the 75-year-old scientist is pushing for a return trip to our closest cosmic neighbor: the moon.
Speaking via live stream this week at the Starmus Festival, Hawking claimed that now is the time to start planning moon colonies, and that Mars should be the immediate successor once we've accomplished that. "We are running out of space, and the only place we can go to are other worlds," Hawking remarked. "It is time to explore other solar systems. Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth."
Hawking also took the opportunity to lay out what he sees as the biggest risks for mankind's ultimate survival. Global warming, resource shortages, and overpopulation were all included, and while the award-winning scientist admitted that the idea of venturing to new star systems is not possible at this time, he maintained that Earth is simply not enough for humanity.
"The human race has existed as a separate species for about 2 million years," Hawking said. "Civilization began about 10,000 years ago, and the rate of development has been steadily increasing. If humanity is to continue for another million years, our future lies in boldly going where no one else has gone before."

Large Stash of Child Porn Found at Vatican

It seems to be common knowledge that many, many Catholic priests have sexual perversion problems.  Here in Minnesota they have identified over 100 different priests that have served here that were involved in perversion, lots of it directed at children.

Today we read that maybe the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

As the Catholic Church battles to stem their continuing exposure of clerical pedophilia, detectives have uncovered an “unprecedented” amount of child pornography including images, videos and other explicit content discovered within the walls of the Vatican.The Vatican Promotor of Justice, Gian Piero Milano, released a report in response to the allegations which he read in full to Catholic Church officials during a judicial ceremony.Due to the Catholic Church’s internal investigations protocol, Milano claims he is under no legal obligation to actually name names of people accused of pedophilia and possessing child pornography.However, Federico Lombardi, spokesman for the Holy See, showed a rare display of openness and named Archbishop Josef Wesolowski as one of the accused that had triggered the investigation.Although this may seem like a forthcoming gesture by the Vatican, reports of Wesolowski not only possessing more than 100,000 images and videos of children being forced into sex acts but also of him sexually abusing multiple children in Poland and the Dominican Republic have already previously been exposed in 2014.

Due to the Vatican’s internal policies, Wesolowski was investigated but escaped jail for “his own protection”.In an unusual move by the church, the high-ranking Catholic official was facing trial from the Vatican’s prosecution for his crimes and had been placed under “protective” house arrest, but mysteriously died before the case even reached a “courtroom”.The lack of justice following his death left many of his victims frustrated with suggestions that the only reason for the house arrest is the fact that word got out that he was allowed to roam free after he was quietly whisked away from the Dominican Republic and back to the Catholic city-state by Vatican officials in order to avoid prosecution there.

According to Church and State, the descriptions of what was actually found on Wesolowski’s computer were more than a little stomach-churning:There were more than 160 videos of teenaged boys being forced to masturbate for the camera and perform sex acts on one another.In addition, the boys were raped and forced to perform sex acts on adults, as well.Wesolowski was tedious and protective of his child porn collection, filing more than 86,000 images into categories in locked folders.In addition to the images and videos present on the computer, at least 45,000 others had already been deleted.

Jesus seems to give a special warning to those who would harm children.  It makes it all the worse that they are hiding behind robes and using the name of Jesus to garner trust among parents and the children...but Jesus also warned about this;

Matthew 7
“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.

"Pro-Life World Has Lots of Dead Women In It"

If you want to take a glimpse into the mind of people who think it's OK to murder babies by cutting them apart in their mother's wombs, read the following article and see if you can spot the errors of their thinking.

These are not great times for choice in America. These are not great times to be a woman in America.

At least, not if you are a woman who believes that your body is your own. (Yes, but you are killing someone else's body when you murder a baby)
 
The Trump administration may be the most fervently anti-abortion since Reagan. (Yea!!!  Trump doesn't like that it's legal to kill babies and have the government pay for a lot of it)
 
This will likely come as a surprise to every man who, prior to Trump’s election, assured me, “don’t worry, he’s really a democrat! He’s not going to do anything about abortion!”
 
It seems you guys were wrong. (Yep!  Leftists seem to be wrong a lot these days!)
 
Trump has reinstated the global gag rule, preventing funding for overseas reproductive health organizations that offer abortion related services. Closer to home, Trump signed a bill on April 13 that allows states to cut off funding from organizations like Planned Parenthood that provide abortions. He has suggested that federal funding could continue to go to the women’s health organization only if they stopped performing abortions. (sounds like an awesome idea!)
 
All of this falls under the banner of a “pro-life” agenda.
 
Indeed, Vice President Mike Pence and counselor to the President, Kellyanne Conway, both spoke enthusiastically at the March for Life. There, the Vice President proclaimed, “We will not rest until we restore a culture of life in America.”
 
Perhaps when people enact these laws, they imagine what a world with more restrictive abortion rights—or a “culture of life”—looks like. I do not think these people are evil. I suspect they have a vision of a world that is flawed. I think when they imagine that world of outlawed abortions, they imagine a world full of adorable, bouncing babies. They imagine happy mothers, and fathers who are, unexpectedly, delighted and doting fathers.
 
That is not reality.
"The U.S. is a place where having a baby means risking your own life, as our Maternal Mortal Rate is the highest in the developed world."
It’s not hard to see what a pro-life world looks like. It looks like a world with a lot of dead women in it. (So leftists prefer a world with 100-fold more dead babies in it?)
 
El Salvador has a “culture of life.” There, abortion is banned for any reason. Estimates from the Ministry of Health put the number of illegal abortions performed at 19,290 between 2005 and 2008. However, it’s difficult to trace illegal activity properly, so some other estimates claim this is closer to the annual average. We do know, from a 2011 study by the World Health Organization that 11 percent of the women undergoing these illegal abortions die. That is, at the bare minimum, over 2,000 women.
 
Amnesty International reports that suicide now accounts for 57 percent of deaths of pregnant females ages 10-19 in El Salvador. Because in an attempt to terminate their pregnancies, women are “ingesting rat poison or other pesticides, and thrusting knitting needles, pieces of wood and other sharp objects into the cervix.” (It would appear that the women of El Salvador are not real bright)
 
It was not so long ago that women in the United States were in a position similar to the one women in El Salvador find themselves in today.
 
Before the passage of Roe. Vs. Wade in 1973, it’s estimated that between 250 and 8,000 American women were dying per year of illegal abortions.  (And leftists would prefer to trade 1,000,000 dead babies for 250 dead woman?  That seems to be an awful trade off!)
 
Today, in the United States, women experience complications from safe, legal abortion less than one percent of the time. And whether or not anyone talks about it, it’s a common medical procedure—30 percent of women in the U.S. have had a safe, legal abortion.

http://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a10033320/pro-life-abortion/

In the mind of the leftist, killing 1,000,000+ babies per year is an equal trade for saving 250 to 8000 women who may die after choosing risky abortion procedures.

If 30% of women in the USA have had a legal abortion, clearly they are engaging in risky behavior because they know their fall-back plan is to LEGALLY kill the baby, pay their $500 cash move on with their lives.

If young women TODAY started  hearing the horror stories that happened to women who illegally killed their babies, maybe a switch would go off in their heads that the fear of pregnancy would be a good reason to NOT screw some boy who they barely know.

Is that going to happen?  Probably not.

In the hyper-sexualized society that we have created, I'm going to guess that people are going to start having sex at an ever younger age....which will make the secularists scream even louder for legalized baby killing, and will most likely demand that all tax payers pay for it!

However, can you think of any other situation where an innocent person gets killed because of someone else's behavior?....and society approves of it?

I can't.

Killing babies is wrong.  Once you start with that truth....every reason that leftists come up to legally kill babies, sounds really lame.  And every reason you give to help stop the killing of babies starts to make a whole lot of sense.

Psalm 139
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

No Muslim Celebration Dinner at White House This Year

It seems preposterous to me that the White House would be expected to pay ANY mention to celebrating the end of Ramadan by having some type of Muslim dinner.  Why they heck would they take ANY time in preparing a meal or celebration that honors Islamic custom when less than 5% of the population is Muslim?

Should the White House also prepare Hindu meals to honor the Hindu gods?  How about Buddhist meals to honor the Buddha?

Ridiculous!

So it would seem that the past few Presidents had bowed to Islam and had and END OF RAMADAN celebratory dinner....but NOT TRUMP!

The Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan, arrived Saturday without a celebration at the White House, ending a presidential tradition going back at least 20 years.
President Donald Trump and the First Lady did issue a statement Saturday marking the end of Ramadan, but did not host an event at the White House to mark the religious holiday.

Instead, the couple attended the wedding of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to Scottish actress Louis Linton, according to White House pool reports.

"Muslims in the United States joined those around the world during the holy month of Ramadan to focus on acts of faith and charity," Trump's statement read. "During this holiday, we are reminded of the importance of mercy, compassion, and goodwill. With Muslims around the world, the United States renews our commitment to honor these values."

The decision not to host an Eid celebration was not a big surprise considering that no invitations had gone out to Muslim leaders in the weeks leading up to the holiday. Still, people across the country still took notice of the administration's decision.

The tradition of hosting an annual iftar dinner to celebrate Eid al-Fitr at the White House dates back to the Clinton administration, which first hosted the event in 1996. Both the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama continued to host the event, inviting Muslim diplomats and prominent members of the Muslim-American community to the White House for the holiday.

The first White House iftar was held by Thomas Jefferson in 1805 when he invited an ambassador from Tunis to the White House.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson also broke with decades of tradition this year by rejecting a request to host an Eid-al-Fitr reception. The State Department issued its own statement Saturday marking the holiday.

"On behalf of the U.S. Department of State, best wishes to all Muslims celebrating Eid al-Fitr," the statement read. "This day offers an opportunity to reflect on our shared commitment to building peaceful and prosperous communities."

Even if the Trump White House had decided to host an event Saturday, Muslim leaders have noted that it may have been difficult to find attendees. The president and his administration have repeatedly angered and alienated Muslims, most notably with their attempts to establish a travel ban targeting majority-Muslim countries.

Just one more reason why I am so thankful that Trump is in the White House!  I may not like all his tweets but the fact that his administration has thrown out the stupid idea of honoring Islam by hosting an Eid al-Fitr dinner...pleases me.

As we all know, most of our founding fathers were God-fearing men.  They didn't fear the god's of Hindu, the Greek gods or the Muslim god.  No!  They feared the God of the Bible.  Trump is just rolling back the political correctness and stupidity that has come upon us like a flood in the last 20 years....and the darkness doesn't like it.

Please continue to pray for President Trump and all his cabinet.  Pray that they would fear the Lord and look to Him as the ONLY place to gain wisdom and knowledge.

Psalm 25:12
Who, then, are those who fear the Lord? He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.

Psalm 34:7

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.
 
Psalm 85:9
Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land.
