So Walmart decides to show gay ads on TV and Facebook this past Valentines Day. Sam Walton rolling over in his grave what is happening. Not so good incidents happening at Walmarts since, most noted is the El Paso shooting last weekend. So Satan's angels come in and Walmart losing God's blessing. Obviously, Walmart will lose some revenue as concerns among some shoppers about store safety.

Target kicks Salvation Army bell ringers from its store fronts last decade. Later on millions of customers accounts hacked. In the last few years, Target promotes open sex bathrooms. Target's register systems attacked Fathers Day weekends 2014 and 2019. Over 1.5 million sign an AFA petition to boycott their stores due to the bathroom situation. Our Father up there is not happy about this evil.

The Washington DC Metro Subway board passed a resolution in May 2015 to ban political, issue, and religious advertising. Starting months after that, things in the DC Metrorail really started falling apart, including derailments, experiencing that as live in the region. Even the Catholic Church was denied in federal appeals courts placing its subtle ads on buses. Coincidence that this is happening. I think not.

Many other company and organization examples of it. You kick God to the curb, its not good.

Because what really concerns God is "gay ads at Walmart". Or Walmart at all.

Well, you may be right, but I don't think it's the Valentine's Day ads. I've seen those Walmart shopper pictures on the Internet. Did it never occur to you that God may really be angry about the gluttony practiced by so many in this country while people in other places starve?

If you're going to latch onto such a ridiculous concept that God cares about and blesses or punishes retail conglomerates, I think you should seriously look into that. I mean, if your goal is to aim for the shallowest form of Christianity, you might as well dive in head first.

RIDICULOUS IDEA THAT GOD CARES ABOUT RETAIL CONGLOMERATES......... - mightyqueen801

Really ????

Consider the following:

Privat Unternehhmen/Staatliches Unternehmen:

Krupps
Heinkel
Messerschmitt
* Dehomag
* Braunschweiger Kohlen-Bergwerke
* Gerhards, Fr. Ed., Hagen
* Martinswerk, Bergheim

Zaibatsu:

Sumitomo
Yasuda
Mitsui
Mitsubishi

The above list of corporations is a very abbreviated list of those that provided war materials during World War II for Germany and Japan. The last four German companies on the list were known to use slave labor.

As a result of this corporate activity the world was plunged into global war. Millions of innocent people died on both sides of the war front. The entire continent of Europe was burned to the ground as was much of Manchuria Southeast Asia and all of the islands of Japan. Divine fury was delivered by the hand of man during the first half of the twentieth century. Corporations were primarily responsible for providing material for the war, while private citizens sat back and applauded the wickedness of their respective governments. God judged.

Or do you think slave labor is a good thing? Or do you believe that abuse of human lives and sin against His holy Law is something God doesn't care about?

GOD CARES VERY MUCH ABOUT CORPORATE SIN AND WICKEDNESS - AND VISITS JUDGMENT UPON IT.

There is an absolutely huge amount of historic evidence to support the assertion that God punishes corporate and national sin. There is current evidence that He continues to oppose it. The fact that you wish to justify sin by means of your corrupt form of humanistic philosophy does NOT negate the righteousness of the Most High.

The effect of deliberately ignoring God's strong arm in punishing sin is to invite it upon one's self. Beware that you do not go too far with your foolishness and arrogant attempt to ignore the lessons of history. Those who forget the lessons of history doom themselves to repeat it. Are you that eager to taste of the wrath of the Almighty?

AS OF THIS WRITING the United States is aggressively pursuing global war to sustain its financial and corporate hegemony. World War III started on August 2, 1990 (*) as direct result of American instigation of Iraq to attack Kuwait. As of this writing, the global war of terror is being fought on every continent on the globe - the very definition of a World War !!! Is God unaware of this situation because CNN isn't transmitted to heaven via American cable TV companies?

American corporations such as VP Cheney's Haliburton made and continue to make huge profits at the expense of the American people and the blood of innocent targets abroad. The next three decades following the 1990 invasion were devoted to the US policy of "draining the Arab swamp". Is God pleased with US unjust attacks upon innocent people for glory and riches? He is not. You express concern about starving people abroad, but ignore their murder and the destruction of their homes for corporate profit. God doesn't ignore it.

Does God turn a blind eye to American sin and wickedness or does He judge all nations equally?

You presume too much when you dismiss God's hate of sin and those who profit by it. Anyone who justifies sin invites wrath upon themselves.

The Bible says God does not wish men to die in their sin.

He has provided an escape in the person of Jesus Christ who died for us and is able to forgive those who repent of their sin and humbly ask forgiveness. To these will God grant immortal life and the blessings of His presence with them. To the rest who disrespect God's generous offer there is only the fear of judgment and the Second Death.

Choose wisely, for no man knows the hour of his death.

IF GOD DOES NOT JUDGE AMERICA HE WILL HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO SODOM AND GOMORRAH.

Therefore the call to repent goes out. Even in this late hour God is willing to forgive those who abandon the ways of sin and wickedness.

The days of God's blessing upon America are OVER.

Read your newspaper and watch your TV stories. Do you see blessings or the terrible drumbeat of curses upon us - one after the other, one repeating the other, blood on our own streets, natural disasters sweeping from west to east and back again, insane behavior in our halls of government and corporate lawlessness even the unchurched abhor? What does it take to get your attention?

Instead of excusing sin, America needs to reject it and seek God's mercy - else He shall wipe this country the way a man wipes a plate turns it over and wipes it again. (2 Kings 21:13)

Watch and learn pilgrim. God is not silent and God is not asleep. God's wrath has risen into His nostrils and He is very angry with America. We need to repent and we need to do it NOW.

that's me, hollering from the choir loft....

(*) The date is certified by American military experts and a small number of historians despite its being deliberately suppressed by government policy and corporate controlled media. No responsible media mogul or government bureaucrat will ever admit responsibility for starting a world war. They shift guilt to other parties as did the Germans and Japanese before them.

Perhaps you are mad about same sex bathrooms, and are creating a god in your own image, and a narrative according to your own fantasies, to justify your own anger. You wouldn't be alone, as that has been the M.O. of organized religion for centuries who hijack god-language for various agendas.

Thanks for illustrating the ignorance, stupidity and bigotry that characterizes the average Christian fundie.

The Walmart shooting in El Paso was not the result of showing gay ads on TV. It was a hate crime targeting Hispanics, by the SOB killer's own admission. May he rot in hell. Get your facts straight. I live two miles from where the mass shooting took place and had been there the day before the shooting. I don't appreciate the reason for the shooting being misrepresented.

Wow. People in the area where you live must be reeling from this kind of thing happening so close.

You are absolutely correct. This had nothing to do with God and everything to do with humanity.

A lot of people's lives have been changed forever having lost loved ones. It's not the kind of thing anyone thought would ever happen here. El Paso is generally a very safe city. The shooter was not from here but came here from Allen, TX for the express purpose of killing as many people as he could.

This kind of outlook just boggles my mind. The very darkest humanity has to offer is attributed to God by those who claim to love Him.

My heart goes out to those people and their families. All they did was go shopping. To have people try to use these types of tragedies as a jumping-off point for nonsensical religious rants is unconscionable.
