> Sanabria claimed criminals use witchcraft, and said in one operation a police officer had been able to kill one of them by "praying while shooting."
Yeah, I'd definitely focus on the prayer aspect of that being the effective part.

Nah. . . .
My husband had below a 3.0 and got into UM for an MBA, one of the top MBA programs in the country. If you are going to get a research based graduate degree right after your undergrad then grades matter. If you plan on getting a basic masters at some point then it doesn't matter.

If you had to see what the cartels do everyday, in person, you might think differently.

I'd like to think that Columbian drug cartels are actually all secretly vampire gangs. Because that's the only way this doesn't sound lame

Just go on r/NSFL type in cartel shit and behold the great wonders of our world. Hell is here on Earth. If you’re dealing with that shit on a daily basis you will believe in evil.

Reply to comment by subzero112001 in Defrocked Catholic priest accused of molesting a boy still runs charity for kids by kangarooturd
But that's not how it works. What happens is a kid says he's been touched in a way he found odd, and the parents want to know more about it. The church takes over the investigation, looks into it, and finds the priest was probably doing something illegal, again, and tells the kid it was normal and he was wrong, and tell the parents it was nothing, then they ship the priest off to another parish or another country. THAT is what happened. The police weren't called. The person bringing the accusation was told they were wrong and it was just a mistake.
And the church did it THOUSANDS of times, and settled for hundreds of millions of dollars when it caught up to them, but you know what didn't happen? Them turning over all those priests and the evidence they had to the police.

Seems like a bad idea, from the people I know who tried.

It's ok, this just means that the company has declared that it is an accessory to the hacking and must be held either equally accountable or considered to be the architect of the actions. That's probably exactly what those reporters will say if questioned, hence the company "defending their human rights".
They're withholding the names of the witnesses lmao! Time to short the shares..

All I have to say is Hallelujah. I thank God for using this man who has the courage to be obedient to Christ who overcomes even death.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Evil works come from evil spirits.
I seek for all these poor souls to wake up and to walk with Christ.

Ive always come at it from the front that belief is fine but claiming sole ownership of the truth is stupid. No one is entitled the truth as truth isnt inherited, its earned through evidence and logic, not faith that it is. You want to believe in 12th century wine gods? Sure thats fine but when you claim a natural disaster is caused by gay marraige, dont get pissy when i call it blatantly stupid lol

No, when they fight them, and arrest them, sentence them for 120 counts and extradite to the US to face even more, towns get shut down by the cartel, any vehicle passing a road gets torched, and any cops that show up are killed.
Cartel is at large because Money. The head guy of the Gulf Cartel was worth an estimate of $10 mil, the organization being a multi-billion dollar establishment. Over 3,000 strong. Poor people need money. Well to do people want money. These guys have it, and are making more. Cartels have a MUCH bigger budget than the cops, and fewer rules to follow.
They caught the head of the Gulf Cartel, and while they probably prayed about it, they went out and got him. Extradited him.
The fallout was reported in the middle east:

If journalists can name people, than journalists can be named too.. that's how Human Rights works.

This is a mistake. They did it for K-12 during the first part of covid and the kids learned they won't have to do anything. It's not going to work. People need to be held accountable.

It's not an excuse to do nothing except with lazy people who will use ANY excuse to do nothing. It's an explanation of WHY that person is so effed up. They're evil. Still gotta stop them, but some people are just evil.
Now pretty much all "evil people" had INCREDIBLY abusive childhoods, with few exceptions. Even that 11 year old multiple murderer in England. Evil - how could someone that young do those things to 4- and 6-year olds, have a body count, unless she's just evil? Then you learn about what her "mother" did to her. That's a better Why than "evil," because it's a Why we can try to short-circuit. But either way, "because Evil" is not an excuse to do nothing.

You do realize that its the police that handle people breaking the law, right? Lemme break this down for you.
If the church says "This guy has been abusing kids, ARREST HIM!".
The police will ask "Do you have any proof?"
And if the church responds" No, but the......."
Then the police will say"We'll investigate the charges since you have ZERO PROOF".
​
Do you understand? How in the world do you not even know how our legal system works?

I get it.
The Good Guys have deep-seated religious beliefs there. So do the Bad Guys. An immutable Law is "Don't Attack People in Religious Sites." While the Bad Guys will do a TON of really horrible things, that's often a bridge too far, so they'll wait til someone is out of the tube to hit them. Makes the tube safer.

True, but when you're fighting a fully-funded military with all the military weapons, well, you've heard the term "there are no atheists in foxholes."
Which isn't true, btw, and this dude has said some REALLY weird stuff, not just about this. Dude's a crackpot.

Your right, but a supernatural entity is needed to explain why "god" isn't the reason why people do wrong.
