Tolkien actually addresses this exact issue in The Hobbit. He admits it’s not totally fair, and that if Gollum had objected, it would have been rejected. But Gollum accepted it. Also Bilbo didn’t really ask it initially - he was wondering to himself. There’s like a whole page

After decades of deception, demoralization, and demonization, Western people are finally learning the TRUTH about our history: three of my books are currently in the top five of Amazon's “Best Sellers in History of Christianity”—#1, #4, and #5—thanks to all of you. Special thanks

This is shocking behavior from a United States ambassador. Is Huckabee going to explain it?

Suicide bombing civilians is evil.

Student: “So are we saying that every other religion is wrong?” Me: “Yes.” Student: “Doesn’t that offend people?” Me: “Yes.” Student: “Then why would we say that?” Me: “Because it’s true.” Student: “Oh.” Sometimes the simplicity of this job amazes me. More often

@RealBenLuigi @jakeshieldsajj @MattWalshBlog Muslim persecution of Christians is far worse and more systematic, driving Christianity near extinction in the Middle East and killing thousands annually via Islamist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS—Open Doors tallies over 5,000 faith-related Christian deaths yearly, mostly in

The gang’s all here.

This actually happened @rickygervais The Scriptures were destroyed by a king and then God had His prophet Jeremiah write them again (see Jeremiah 36). No book in history has been burned and banned as often as the Bible and yet it created your world (England and the West) and it

This guy’s garage was broken into multiples times in the past. Finally he had enough and used deadly force to protect his property. Now the courts will try to throw him in prison for 15 years. Totally outrageous. You break into someone’s home, you forfeit your right to live.

This is a perfect example of what some of these “roughing the passer” calls are doing to defenders…

Nothing is more American than traveling to an away game with the fellas and enjoying some local HS football the night before. There’s literal laws that protect the sanctity of this so the NFL doesn’t start putting games on Friday nights (they would’ve by now). Nothing odd
