Unless you know the Bible you won’t understand Western Civilization, the foundation American principles, history, and culture rests upon.

The concepts of American principles more closely resembles natural law then the bible. In that though, the writings of Thomas Aquinas and Summa Theologica, play a major role in "how" things like the Federalist Paper are written, and even the US Constitution.

I read a book in Dutch by Milo/Mulder on how the Islamic faith started out and thy state most of their stories are copies of Jewish and Christian source material. It's a theory coined by a German institute, Inarah. http://inarah.net/ .

Thanks for reminding me to reread that book!

The value system of western civilization draws from your so called Jewish history book. Every freedom you have has it's roots there, ingrate.

The Greek word translated as meek, really means something more akin to "ability to weild the sword but choosing to refrain"

How did Jesus get them out of the temple again?

Oh that’s right, he made his own whip and beat the fuck outta them.

That’s right he made a whip. He didn’t buy one, he was so angry he made one himself and used it to make the wicked leave the temple.

Christianity in the Western world has been corrupted over the last several decades or so to make people believe that the bible does say to be a little bitch. He's brainwashed. Maybe we can help deprogram him.

Proverbs 11:10

When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.

I vehemently disagree with abortion and lowering the age of consent to 12 years old.

I agree OneTypo, with you and with Proverbs 11:10.

Scalia dies and they celebrate, Ginsburg dies and we have to pretend her death isn't a relief - why.

And they know us so well that they start re-enforcing our willingness to hide our true feelings, and guilt us into giving up our power and doing their bidding.

We already had two conflicted,virtue-signalers (Collens and Murkowski) trying for redemption by kissing their rings.

She wanted to lower the age of consent to 12. But i do agree we shouldn't celebrate her death i just can understand why people are.

I wouldn't celebrate someone's death, but I will laugh at the feisty memes if they deserved the ridicule.

Smug_zebra 12 points ago +23 / -11

Celebrating the death of your enemies is a sin. RGB and the other justices that invented the Roe v Wade "law" are culpable for more human death then Stalin or Mao. They are also some of Lucifer's most successful recruiters. I will be asking for forgiveness today.

Just so you guys know, as much as i disliked her Judicial activism, she had nothing to do with Row v wade as far as i know. That case was decided back in 1973. IN fact, she has even said that she believed it was wrongfully decided. While she did agree with the outcome, which makes her evil as fuck, at least from a jurisprudence point of view, she thought the ruling should have been narrow which would have given the decision on the legality of abortion itself to the states where it belonged.

Ok... brushes himself off...

I feel filthy as fuck defending her but it had to be done.

Your list is great. Unfortunately, in my opinion, some of the most important books regarding communism have never been translated into English. When I say this, I mainly think about the countless memoirs written by former communist political prisoners. I was born in Romania and moved to the US in my early twenties. I read probably more than 15 such memoirs, I even had the opportunity to meet a few survivors. Saying these books are chilling is understating them. It is such a disservice to humanity that these books don't get an international readership. And I bet other Eastern European countries have their own such books.

The Gulag Archipelago author, Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, described the "Pitesti Phenomenon" (one of the experiments done by communists on young people in the Romanian prisons) as the "most terrible act of barbarism in the contemporary world".

I wonder if any of them (that you read) are online? Online translating isn’t perfect, but I would read through that.

Ladybug87 1 point ago +1 / -0

Since you would use a translator app, I would recommend to at least read "Fenomenul Pitesti" by Virgil Ierunca. It is a short book (37 pages) that describes what happened during the youth reeducation program in the Pitesti prison. It uses quotes from memoirs, but it is not 1st hand account. (There is a PDF on milisoft.ro - just search virgil ierunca fenomenul pitesti pdf).

Now, a true memoir I found in PDF version is "Marturisiri din mlastina disperarii" (Confessions from the swamp of despair) by Dumitru Bordeianu. It is a 350+ book, but it is worth at least reading the forward to the book (3 pages) where the author talks about the ideology of "hate, lie and bestiality" (communism) and succinctly describes why he wrote the book, after doing hard labor and being tortured in Romanian prisons for more than 15 years. This is a memoir written from the point of view of a Christian dealing with the satan that is communism.

"Communism is only the presence of satan on earth. The Communists have made of their ideology a religion, which, in opposition to the Christian one, is the religion of hatred, and of crime, elevated to the rank of virtues; and it spreads only through lies, distrust, terror, and fear. " (from the forward to the book).

(a pdf of this book is on marturisitorii.ro)

I read a collection of short stories from the author's experiences in a Soviet work camp. The book is called Kolyma Stories by Varlam Shalamov. It's been translated into English, and I have no idea of how moving they are in Russian, but the translation seems to be very good, because the stories in English still sink into your mind and open your eyes to the insanity of communism.

If you want a more bite-sized approach to learning about the madness of Soviet work camps, there's a collection of short stories called Kolyma Stories by Varlam Shalamov that is well-translated and quite moving.
