Robot Gets Citizenship

Here is just one more headline of strange news:

Saudi Arabia bestows citizenship on a robot named Sophia

Saudi Arabia just made a non-human woman a citizen, making it the first country to grant a robot the right to citizenship, at least as far as we know. Why it did so isn’t immediately evident, but the irony of a nation infamous for denying basic rights to its female citizens imbuing a robotic Audrey Hepburn lookalike with rights is not lost on us. The robot, known as Sophia, appeared onstage without an abaya, a head covering and cloak normally required of women by the Saudi government.

“I am very honored and proud for this unique distinction,” the robot said onstage. “This is historical to be the first robot in the world to be recognized with a citizenship.”

The revelation/PR stunt came out of the Future Investment Initiative summit being held in Riyadh. Hanson Robotics, the company that developed the robot, hails it as “the most beautiful and celebrated robot,” a claim to fame that surely ensures our non-human counterparts will be just as sexually objectified as their blood and flesh foremothers. The company goes on to lavish gendered compliments on its object of affection, admiring its “porcelain skin,” “slender nose” and “intriguing smile” with effusive praise that’s unsettling at best but mostly just gross.

College Girl Wants to Wrestle Men, NWCA Says No

With all this talk about sexual harassment in the news these past few weeks, the LAST thing I would want to do is be a college man who has to grab a woman by the chest and crotch in order to throw her to the wrestling mat.

University of Michigan-Dearborn wrestler Marina Goocher has won two National Collegiate Wrestling Association women’s championships. Now, she wants to take her shot at the men’s title.

But NCWA policy clearly forbids women from practicing or competing against men.

So, the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Women’s Law Center and the Women’s Sports Foundation are fighting to change the policy. Here is the full letter from the ACLU to the NCWA.

What does the policy say?

From the NCWA Best Practices:

“This should go with out saying, but from time to time questions arise concerning male vs. female competition.

The rule is simple.  Women wrestle women, men wrestle men in practice and competition. Period.

Our rules and insurance coverages do not permit male vs. female practice or competition.

This type of combative activity is not covered under your NCWA provided insurance.
Any competition or combative practice will void your liability and injury coverage.

The NCWA has developed two separate and distinct divisions for the purpose of providing men and women the opportunity to compete in wrestling at the college level while protecting athletes from injury or possible abuse.

Based upon your individual school policy, men and women may practice in the same wrestling room, but must have a combative practice partner of the same sex.” 

Why does she want to do this?

Her college doesn’t have a women’s team, and there are no other female wrestlers in Goocher’s weight class in her NCWA region. As a result, she can’t compete during the regular season; she can only wrestle in postseason tournaments.

She said she has been welcomed and supported by the men’s team at UM-Dearborn, and only the NCWA policy is keeping her from competing.

“Ever since I can remember, wrestling has been a central part of my life and my identity,” Goocher said in a statement. “When I enrolled in college, the wrestling coach and the wrestlers, all of whom were men, warmly welcomed me because they knew I could help the team win. But right now, as the wrestling season begins, I have to sit on the bench the entire regular season simply because I am a woman.”

Goocher won more than 100 matches against males in high school, and an ACLU attorney thinks the NCWA policy is based on outdated stereotypes.

“NCWA’s rule is based on antiquated gender stereotypes, including assumptions about differences in strength between male and female athletes and outdated notions about the propriety of physical contact between men and women,” said Galen Sherwin, senior staff attorney with the ACLU’s Women’s Rights Project.

I think the best way to solve this whole problem is to cease having men's and women's sports teams.

 Lets just let the best players make the team.  The "people"in college can compete against each other for the volleyball team, the football team, the wrestling team, the swim team, etc....and soon all the women will see that there is nothing left for them to do but be cheerleaders and dance squad....again.

Then when they are done with college the Pro athletes can try out for the NBA and play for the Minnesota Timber Wolves or the Minnesota Lynx....and the entire Lynx team will soon be made up of people who are bigger, faster, stronger and also happen to have testicles producing testosterone.

"In the beginning, God created them male and female.  Male and female He created them."

Men Are Born With the Desire for More Than One Wife

If so, then why not share your husband too?

Just so you know there are many men (maybe your current husband?) who are born with the desire to have more than one wife.

Pregnant People

Just in case you hadn't gotten the PC notice....it's no longer acceptable to say the phrase, "Pregnant women" when you are describing a woman who is pregnant....because this could be offensive to people who are pregnant who may not be a woman.

A British government office cautioned against the use of the term “pregnant woman” in a U.N. treaty, saying that it “excludes” transgender people.

The Sunday Times reported that the country's Foreign and Commonwealth Office submission on proposed amendments to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights opposed the term because it may “exclude transgender people who have given birth.” The appropriate term, it says, is “pregnant people.”

Sarah Ditum, a feminist writer in England, told the Times:

This isn’t inclusion. This is making women unmentionable. Having a female body and knowing what that means for reproduction doesn’t make you “exclusionary.” Forcing us to decorously scrub out any reference to our sex on pain of being called bigots is an insult.

The treaty, which the UK joined in 1976, says that pregnant women must be given special protections, for instance not being subject to the death penalty, according to the Daily Mail.

This comes after Prime Minister Theresa May said last week that she is willing to allow individuals to self-certify their gender without providing medical documentation and would amend the Gender Recognition Act accordingly.

It WAS the "Voices" That Drove Tennessee Shooter

Do you guys remember when a black guy recently went into a church and shot a white woman dead and then went into the church and sprayed bullets injuring six more?

Most don't because the media didn't care for the story of black on white violence, and also because usher who stopped him had a legal firearm.  Says CNN, "Yeah...we aren't going to report on that story....but call us when it's a white person who goes in and shoots up black people!  We can cover that angle 24/7!"

Well today I ran across more info on this story and it appears that THE VOICES were involved.

The man accused of fatally shooting a woman and wounding six other people at a Tennessee church last month told police he heard voices and had visions, including an image of that particular church, a detective testified in court Monday.

Emanuel Kidega Samson, 25, would not say much else about his vision of Burnette Chapel Church of Christ, when pressed by police during an interview, Nashville Police Detective Steve Jolley said.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5010073/Police-Church-shooting-suspect-noted-visions-voices.html

Please take note of how many horrendous crimes, like women killing their children, are being blamed on THE VOICES.

Of course the psycho-bablers will say that such people have schizophrenia...and while that might be the case....Bible readers would probably be wise to understand that demons may be the force that urge these folks to do unimaginable things.

The "Everything Bubble" Has Inflated and Ready to Pop

Everybody knows what a real estate bubble is.  We all saw how that inflated and popped in 2008.  Of course that led to stock market bubble popping as consumer confidence collapsed.

So did we fix anything from that serious financial crisis of 2007-2009?

Of course not!  All we did is paper over everything with massive amounts of printed money.

Listen to this economist talk about how everything (stocks, bonds, government bonds, credit) is in a massive bubble.  He says that when it pops it's going to be massive.

Here;  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhfoPUoDOGs&feature=youtu.be&a=

Of course NO ONE ever can say WHEN a bubble will pop.  Things could go on as they are for some more days, months or years.

But here is the deal you can take to the bank;  The Bible says that the Antichrist is one day going to take over a global financial system.  In order for that to happen our current financial system, with the US Dollar as the reserve currency, has to go away.

Our blessed hope is that the rapture of the church will be the nail in the coffin for America.  We can't know that for sure, but it would make sense when Jesus said it be business as usual, eating, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage, planting, building and most folks will be clueless as to what is happening until the followers of Christ are snatched away and the people left behind will have destruction come upon them suddenly.

Who Wants to Marry Their Sexbot?

Why should any of this really surprise us?  Anything that goes AGAINST what God clearly said about marriage being ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN seems to be what modern man wants to do!

And since modern man says that we all evolved from space dust and that there is no creator to be accountable to....why not create a robot that can clean your house, rub your feet, make you dinner, carry on a conversation AND fulfill all your sexual desires?...and she is never in a bad mood because bad moods don't exist in her program!!

The inventor of one of the world's first sex robots claims he is not far away from being able to have a 'baby' with one of his creations. Sergi Santos also thinks people will be getting married to their automatic lovers within a generation.

Santos previously revealed that his sex robot Samantha – who moans and groans when he touches her in the right places – had improved his marriage of 16 years to fellow designer Martisa Kissamitaki.

But Kissamitaki might not be so relaxed about the prospect of her promiscuous scientist breeding with his silicon seductress.

Santos's vision of a sex robot baby involves 'merge' the robot's personality and physical traits with his own attributes in a computer program to create their 'child's' brain and body, that can be 'born' in a 3D printer.

He said: "I can make them have a baby. It's not so difficult. I would love to have a child with a robot. Using the brain I have already created, I would program it with a genome so he or she could have moral values, plus concepts of beauty, justice and the values that humans have.

"To create a child with this robot it would be extremely simple. I would make an algorithm of what I personally believe about these concepts, and then shuffle it with what she thinks and then 3D print it.

"That's it. I 3D print the robot that is the child of me and the robot...I don't see any complications," he added, in conversation with The Sun.

If Santos is right, it will open up huge ethical questions about our the rights sex robot children and the meaning of what it is to be human in the 21st century. The inventor is confident that the shock with which people have greeted the first generation of sex robots will be replaced by an acceptance of their place in civil society.

I know I have used this Bible verse from Judges quite often over the years...but it always pops into my mind when I read stuff like this.

"In those days, Israel had no king and every man did as he saw fit."

Church in America; A Thing of the Past

Not too many years ago there were 4-5 churches in every small town all over this country.  In those churches almost ALL Americans heard the 10 commandments and heard that Jesus was the only way and that the fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Those people also would have heard stories about God being the creator of all that we see and heard stories about Noah's flood and the soon return of Christ to set up His kingdom on earth.

Today?....not so much.

Today most Americans believe that evolution and a big band created all that we are and all that we see.  They don't believe there is a creator that they will ultimately have to answer for and they certainly don't want to be told any 10 commandments since they believe they were made up by men and are simply optional.

The churches of America and now sitting in mothballs by the thousands.  The lights are turned off, they hymns aren't being played and those churches that are still open are housed by older people and are being forced to merge with other churches just to keep a few folks in the pews on any given Sunday.

For a decade and more, Govans Presbyterian Church and Brown Memorial Woodbrook Presbyterian Church have labored in the manner of many mainline Protestant congregations: Working ever harder to provide spiritual resources for dwindling number of congregants.

Govans, on York Road in North Baltimore, has been hosting its Sunday night dinners for the poor and helping lead GEDCO, the social service organization it co-founded in 1984.

Brown Memorial Woodbrook, about two miles from Govans on North Charles Street, has been running its busy Sunday school and community garden and working on LGBT equality and other social justice issues.

But with attendance stagnating, maintenance costs rising and the population of Christians from which to draw shrinking, the two have decided to join forces. If the Baltimore Presbytery gives its approval next month, they’ll become one congregation before the end of the year, bringing more than 280 worshippers and 230 years of history together under one roof.

The merger would be the latest example of an increasingly common phenomenon: faith leaders closing or consolidating houses of worship as a way of adjusting to a culture that has grown less hospitable to their mission.

The Episcopal Diocese of Maryland has closed a net eight churches since 2007 and plans to shutter one more — 174-year-old St. John’s Episcopal Church in Charles Village — if the congregation can’t present a feasible financial plan by January.

Today’s faith leaders must compete with everything from youth soccer and pro football games to shopping at the mall.

“When I was growing up in what I call the salad days of the 1950s and early 1960s, the question in the neighborhood was ‘What church do you go to?’” Webster says.

“Now it’s, ‘Why do you go to church?’”

“We no longer live in Christendom. We really have to accept that it's a thing of the past.”

I love Dr. Jeffress' word picture on how a building implodes.  First there is a series of explosions which take out the foundations of the building...then a pause of a few seconds....then the entire building comes crashing down on top of itself.

He claims that America is living in the 'pause period'.  Our foundations have already been exploded...and now we are just waiting for the whole nation to come crashing down.

We have no idea how long those seconds might be...but rest assured, our God WILL NOT BE MOCKED!  Competing with football, soccer games and the shopping malls WILL NOT LAST forever.

Amen!  Even so, Come Lord Jesus!

Bigfoot Trips and Drops His Pig

This is yet another article I ran across in mainstream news that I believe has supernatural possibilities and also has some humor.

It seems as many as 5 Bigfoot beings (Bigfeet?) we spotted on a Northern California ranch and one of them was making off with a pig...running with the pig over it's shoulder.  Of course it must be a large being to be running with a pig on it's shoulder.  The Bigfoot clearly wasn't paying attention to his path and tripped over an irrigation pipe...sending the pig and the Bigfoot tumbling.

The legendary Bigfoot and other creatures like it have reportedly been spotted near a Northern California lake, according to a paranormal investigator.

Jeffrey Gonzalez, a self-described paranormal expert, said he heard about the sighting from a local farmer who said he saw the creature and five others running on his ranch near Avocado Lake.

“One of them, which was extremely tall, had a pig over its shoulder," Gonzalez said in comments obtained by Fox 26, a Fox News affiliate. "And the five scattered and the one with the pig was running so fast it didn’t see an irrigation pipe and it tripped, with the pig flying over."

According to his Facebook page, Gonzalez is a talk show host and an investigator at Paranormal Central, in addition to being a technician at AT&T. He also founded the Sanger Paranormal Society.

Gonzalez said that the sighting is not that uncommon, with three additional Bigfoot sightings in the past five years, all located in East Fresno County.

“I would have never guessed in a million years that you would have told me there were Bigfoot on Shields or Ashlan Avenue. Right? So, I want to know what’s going on. Is this for real?” Gonzalez added.

Here;  http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2017/10/17/bigfoot-reportedly-sighted-in-northern-california-pictures-go-viral..html

As some of you know sightings of Bigfoot are many times accompanied by UFO sightings in the area. In addition they are reported to have a disgusting smell (perverted flesh?) and also reportedly can vanish into thin air.

We believe that these creatures, sighted by thousands all over the world, ARE NOT some left over humanoid from evolution or survival of the fittest but ARE some sort of demonic, perverted flesh that may well play a part in the end-of-days terror that will befall the left-behind world during the Great Tribulation.

Sound crazy?

Yep!  And so do many things yet to come.
