I was raised atheist
Told of Adam and Eve, Noah and Moses
I did not believe
God gradually showed himself
Jonah ran from God’s task
He did not want his people humbled
He did not want God’s favour on others
God, gradually, showed himself
In exile, Jews hungered for home
Their best were used and humbled
They begged God for help
God, gradually, showed himself
An entire nation rose to attack Greece
Greece survived
A lands bridge exists today
God, gradually, showed himself
Jesus was crucified and wrapped in a sheet
After three days, He rose from the dead
The sheet exists today.
God, gradually, showed himself
I found I needed God
I can’t do what I want alone
I prayed for help
God, gradually, showed himself
I had rejected God
I had spat on God
I now embrace God
God, gradually, showed himself
God, gradually, showed himself
God, gradually, showed himself
Notes
I chose the Greece example because it has archaeology tying in with the Bible. The Bible has it that a king took his entire nation and court with him, some 20 million, to chastise a nation that had dared to resist him. Historically, we know the so called 300 Spartans held a pass and delayed a Persian invasion that would have crushed Greece. The lands bridge that the Persian built for 20 million men women and children still exists today.
I chose the shroud of Turin example because I believe it to be real. The shroud is older than the patch which was carbon dated. The weave pattern is consistent with other first century examples. The reason why the image is fixed can be explained in terms of the cleaning fluids known to be used at the time. The Bible presents a good reason to believe that the shroud had been washed before Jesus’ body would have been placed in it.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

Remember Patrick Henry's words: "Give me liberty or give me death." Don't let illusions of impossibility silence you—act today to ensure free speech endures for tomorrow. What's one step you'll take right now?
Free speech has been challenged before. In the US, World War I and World War II imposed wartime restrictions. The prolonged nature of the Vietnam War made such restrictions obvious, as did the war in Afghanistan. However, the failure of the press to remain free has led to remarkable academic debate. It is now claimed—and widely accepted—that free speech is illusory and not truly possible. Minor restrictions on style are said to mean that speech was never free. This view is Orwellian. What happened?
In antiquity, was there free speech in Athens when Socrates was ordered to leave? He drank poison rather than accept exile, but he had had his say. When Athens defeated Persia at sea, scuttling an invasion plan, the successful generals were ...

What exactly have the Palestinians done to demonstrate they’re ready for a state?
Some observations:
📷 There are still 50 hostages in Gaza
📷 They refuse every ceasefire proposal
📷 The Palestinian Authority hasn’t held elections since 2006
📷 Corruption is rampant
📷 Children are taught to glorify terrorism
📷 There’s no accountability, no rule of law, and no democratic institutions
So tell us, Emmanuel Macron: what part of this looks like a state-in-waiting?
