Tragic. But this shows us what can happen in a country which keep worshipping budha demon, instead to accept the Lord Jesus Chist and Him as only God and only King of all universe.
This will become more common and is going to happen more often to us, the Westerners. Because, I can tell you that with certaincy, there are a way too many budha demon statues to be seen on the windows at people houses in west europe. More dan ever before.
While churches are burning to the ashes.

Singapore will pay about $55,000 in support for each child; why the country is paying parents to have babies

The announcement was made by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong during Singapore's National Day Rally on August 23. Singapore has a problem that money alone has not been able to solve. People there are having fewer children. Now the country is trying a bigger, longer-term approach. Singapore will provide almost S$70,000 (around US$55,000 or roughly Rs 47 lakh) in direct financial support for every Singaporean child, from birth until the child turns 17.The announcement was made by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong during Singapore's National Day Rally on August 23. But the headline figure needs some context. This is not a S$70,000 cheque that parents receive after having a baby. The amount is spread across different forms of support, including cash payments, healthcare-related grants, child credits and education support.The move comes as Singapore's fertility rate has fallen to its lowest recorded level. According to Singapore's Department of Statistics, the country's resident total fertility rate …

Armed forces prayer ban: Spiritual neutrality is void of soul

Armed forces prayer ban: Spiritual neutrality is void of soul Bishop Scott McCaig, centre, Canada’s Military Ordinariate. Photo from X Many have been shocked and dismayed by the new Canadian Forces General Instruction from the Commander of Military Personnel (CANFORGEN), issued July 29, decreeing a “spiritual neutrality” upon all Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Chaplains whilst they function in any public ceremony that would have historically included prayers. In so doing, a “new, modern Prometheus,” a new “Act of Supremacy” has been created. Nowhere in the history of human religious faith expression has there ever been a definition of “The Spirit” as being neutral. The Spirit, regardless of any faith that currently may be ascribed to by humanity, is anything but neutral. If anything, it is the inclination to act, to justify and to defend the honour of the godhead of one’s own religious beliefs or lack thereof. Neutrality, with respect to a faith, may seem to exist only in the realm of …

It's insidious! I have a friend who works at a community college and she tells me that new student applicants are submitting long autobiographies - sometimes over 10 pages long. Yet, these same potential students are failing basic English skills entrance tests and need remedial classes! Of course, they aren't writing things themselves!
