The people who live to work won't respect you for working to live. They'll call it lazy. They'll say you lack ambition, direction, goal, and purpose. But deep down, they're terrified that you figured out the secret they're too scared to try: It's the human race, not the rat race.
Yesterday, I took an Uber in New York. The driver was an Egyptian Muslim who has been living in the U.S. for 35 years.
He heard me speaking Arabic on the phone, which led to a conversation about how great America is and how, as a foreign-born citizen, he’s treated equally.
I explained to him how Islamic countries could reach the level of freedom and prosperity the U.S. enjoys, and I mentioned how Christians in Egypt live as second-class citizens and face persecution.
Since he had just praised how equally he’s treated in America, I expected him to agree with me. Instead, he became defensive, justifying the persecution of Christians in Egypt, and went on to say that Egypt should apply Islam and Sharia more fully, claiming it’s “Islamic in name only.”
Thirty-five years in a liberal democracy, yet he still can’t imagine governance apart from Islam, even while enjoying the benefits of an infidel, non-Islamic system.
Sadly, Muslims will always embrace democracy only as a vehicle to serve their interests, until they can make Islam the law of the land.
Yes Protestants pray to the dead often but it is typically only to their relative (often a parent, spouse or child) who they insist they know for certain is in heaven. Prayers include:
- I miss you
- long discussions of trials about the kids and what they are struggling with
- I will see you again
- give me strength
- I don’t know how to do this
- you would be proud
- I know you can see him/her/me
- I know you’re in a better place
- what should I do?
- why did you leave me?
This is all prayer and all 100% normal. That’s why they do it. It’s intuitive and if you told them it was evil you know it would not be pretty.
URGENT. FYI.
After Charlie Kirk, on the sky app there are people asking for the next person to be targeted. These include JK Rowling, Matt Walsh, Trump, Ben Shapiro, Libs of TikTok, Elon Musk, and Andy Ngo.
I took as many screenshots as I could.
