Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

"Memphis, Tennessee, Man Fatally Sets Himself on Fire on Facebook Live"

quote:

The video shows McLemore seated while he pours kerosene all over his body. He then lights himself on fire and runs off screen.

Witnesses said McLemore was on fire from head to foot when he ran inside the bar, where his ex-girlfriend worked. One man inside was burned after he tried to kick the lighter out of McLemore's hands and was taken to a hospital, where he's expected to make a full recovery.

Koehler said McLemore targeted Murphy's because his ex-girlfriend worked there.

Court records show that McLemore threatened to kill his ex and was sentenced to probation on domestic assault charges last month.

Which reminds me of.

He mustn't have prayed correctly. I've been praying and fasting* for a week and haven't been eaten by a croc.

Isn't it, like, the height of blasphemy to try and recreate Jesus' minor miracles? Those crocs were obviously Christ himself coming to stop a blasphemer.


Did they say this unprompted, or were they asked about it specifically? Either way is pretty strange, but there is a bit of a difference there.

Not unless he was claiming that he actually was Jesus, which it doesn't seem like he was. Some denominations believe that if a person is sufficiently righteous, that God will grant them the ability to perform miracles such as faith healing, handling dangerous serpents, speaking in tongues, etc.

A lot of denominations would regard it as foolish, since while it would be within God's power to grant such power and protection, God has no reason to do so for a person who intentionally places themselves in harm's way. There's a huge difference between someone who, through unlucky circumstances, finds themselves in mortal danger from wild animals and prays for deliverance, and someone who runs headlong into an alligator-infested body of water expecting God to keep them safe because they're such a good person.

I would personally interpret it as the person testing whether their faith is true in God's eyes, which is something that most denominations say that a person cannot know.

Yeah, despite the fact that I haven't set foot in a church in decades, my mind immediately jumped to: "And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."--Luke 4:12 Deliberately being a dumbass in hopes that a being of immense power will do tricks on command just seems like a terrible idea. And then you get eaten by crocodiles.
