The Great Revival

The Tin Gods Have Failed Us

Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “[M]an everywhere appears as a worshiping creature.” This applies not only to the faithful, but to the unbeliever as well. A person who rejects the divine merely redirects his worship to something else: money, politics, ideology, romantic love, knowledge. The list goes on.

In a peaceful, prosperous nation, it’s easy to live that way. But what happens when the West’s centuries-long experiment with secularism proves each of these replacement faiths to be tin gods? Look to Europe, where it all began.

This Easter, the Catholic Church in France baptized 10,384 adults, along with about 7,400 new members aged 11 to 17. This is the highest number of entrants in more than 20 years, and a 45% increase in adult catechumens compared to last year.

Father Benoist de Sinety, a parish priest in Lille, noted that this year’s Ash Wednesday masses “shattered attendance records,” with many congregants being “young people attending for the first time.”

Guess which denominations aren't seeing a rise in attendance? “Progressive” ones. Hee hee.

Russia to fund construction of new nuclear plant in Iran

Russia will fund the construction of a new nuclear plant in Iran, Iranian Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad said at the closing ceremony of the 18th Joint Economic Cooperation Commission on Friday. 

The two countries will undertake "the construction of new nuclear energy facilities and the completion of phases two and three of the Bushehr power plant using Moscow's credit line," Paknejad said.

Russia has helped Iran build its first nuclear reactor at Bushehr, in the south of the country.

Paknejad's comments came as US and Iran officials met in Oman on Saturday for a third round of nuclear talks. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and US President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff held the talks in Muscat through Omani mediators, a week after a second round of talks took place in Rome that both sides described as constructive.

Expert indirect talks took place in Muscat to design a framework for a potential nuclear day prior to the lead negotiators' meeting.

That's nice. It will be good to see a nice, peaceful country like Iran prosper.

50 Totally Wild Things Basically Every Single Person In America Believes Are Completely Normal But Are Actually Very, Very, Very Strange

It's so strange to see guns just casually displayed on shelves at Walmart, like they're no different from everyday groceries.

It's wild how you can spend five hours on the road in America and barely notice a change in your surroundings. Meanwhile, a five-hour drive in Europe lands you somewhere where the language is completely different and they have their own unique take on cheese.

Chanting 'USA!' for no apparent reason.

High Island quits a highly endangered Amur tiger, replaced by a younger male

Zoo Korkeasaari has quit the nearly 13-year-old Amur tiger Tamuri. Tamur lived in Korkeasaari for 11 years, the zoo says in a Facebook post.

The decision to kill a highly endangered animal is justified by reproduction. In the summer, a junior amur tiger male from Germany is coming to Korkeasaari, chosen as the companion of Tamuri’s descendant, Odeya female.

They wanted a peaceful start to a young male in Korkeasaari.

In nature, a young and old male would struggle for his territory. According to Korkeasaari, organising such a competition would not be good for animals.

Fallout From Covid

Scientists Find Measles Likely to Become Endemic in the US Over Next 20 Years

With vaccination rates among US kindergarteners steadily declining in recent years and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. vowing to reexamine the childhood vaccination schedule, measles and other previously eliminated infectious diseases could become more common. A new analysis published today by epidemiologists at Stanford University attempts to quantify those impacts.

Using a computer model, the authors found that with current state-level vaccination rates, measles could reestablish itself and become consistently present in the United States in the next two decades. Their model predicted this outcome in 83 percent of simulations. If current vaccination rates stay the same, the model estimated that the US could see more than 850,000 cases, 170,000 hospitalizations, and 2,500 deaths over the next 25 years. The results appear in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Calling that mRNA crap a “vaccine” is going to have years of consequences.

Islamic Terrorism is Genocide

When Muslim terrorists began their latest massacre in Kashmir, they first checked IDs and asked their victims to recite the ‘Kalmas’ one of several Islamic recitations used by Indian Muslims, beginning with, “There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his messenger.” Those who could not recite the Islamic doctrine were killed. “Are you Muslim? If yes, then recite the Kalma,” victims were told by the Jihadis. “He asked my husband’s name and religion. Then he shot him,” one female survivor testified. Describing the massacre of 26 innocent people, including an American citizen, in a Kashmir meadow as terrorism is misleading. The targets were not selected because they were government officials. They were not screened for their politics. The location was not a strategic target. The only thing that the victims had in common was that they were non-Muslims. This is not terrorism. It’s genocide.

Question: Can/should the 1st Amendment be re-written to exclude religions like Islam?
