Genesis 1 - In the beginning, God spoke the universe into existence.  Some of those present claimed they heard a loud crackling sound like thunder, but most simply described it as sort of a.. BANG.. actually a BIG BANG! 

At this point let me be clear, I am not here to discuss Old Earth v New Earth theories. This would be above the pay grade of this cartoonist, but what I will say is .. God created and it was GOOD!

Genesis 1:1-31 To summarize, this daunting project was completed in 6 days where Day 1:  DAY , NIGHT , the SKY were spoke into existence by our Almighty Creator. 

Genesis 2:1-3 Then on the 7th day God rested.  In contrast I installed a bathroom floor in our town-home recently and I rested on the 5th, 6th, and 7th days and while it turned out nice it was not Hubble Telescope spectacular like God's Universe.

Those first 6 days His creation included the sun, stars, land, waters, and all the creatures in the sea and on land were created. 

To rule over the lands and seas God created MAN​ Genesis 2:7 in His own image from the dust of the Earth followed by creating WOMAN from man's 'spare rib' declaring it is not good for man to be alone. Genesis 2:18
​
To which Adam declared.. "Hey beautiful, where have you been all my life?"   

​Then God commanded Adam and Eve to "be fruitful and multiply".. to which Adam quickly started working on his times tables.

This creation story is all recorded into the Bible book of Genesis. While many Cosmologists believe the Big Bang was the creation of EVERYTHING from NOTHING followed by billions of years of random collisions and explosions resulted in our ever expanding universe, all the planets including Earth including life with all it's complexities.  

​Ok, I believe you can collide a chocolate bar with a jar of peanut butter and end up with a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup.. but this Universe has too moving parts + complexities that are bound together with rules and order for me to believe EVERYTHING came from NOTHING.

So I choose to believe there must be an intelligent design behind creation. For me, I believe in a divine creator that exists outside the confines of time and space. I believe this Intelligent Design is described in the Bible Book of Genesis.

​May God bless each of you greatly in your pursuit of truth. This is important stuff, and a foundation for life. If there is a God then the pursuit of Him is a greater science than can be found looking through any microscope or telescope.  Bigger than Star Trek's five year journey exploring the stars.

I confess #IHATEHASHTAGS is not the most endearing blog title, but my purpose is to focus on a Biblical response to the glut of #movements in our VERY SECULAR society.

This messy world is inundated with Virtue Signalling / Social Justice Crusaders all whipped up into a frenzy by the media and social media with images, sound bites, tweets, etc, which often lack context promoting 'feelings' over 'facts', agendas over truth. Collectively I will label these the dreaded #SJWCRUSADES (social justice warrior crusades). 

These #SJWCRUSADES exist in a land where everyone is a victim, and/or bullied into a fragile 'snowflake' condition barely able to function. Their victim status paralysis is someone else fault when 'feelings are hurt', and/or they were made to 'feel uncomfortable' which is considered an 'act of violence' against them. Who is to blame?  Mostly, Men.. more specifically WHITE MEN. And the luck of the draw, I was born a white male have continued that status for my entire life. So.. sorry? I guess for something I did or didn't do inherently because I am white? and male?

Important note: I am not insensitive to injustice, but am concerned with a #SJWCRUSADE response to injustice, and where they place hope.  For me, I would like to place my hope in the following Bible Basics..

Getting back to the (Bible) Basics..

• So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.​ Matthew 7:12 (#do_unto_others)
• He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD. Proverbs 17:15 (#true_justice)
• “Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does?” John 7:51 (#innocent_til_proven_guilty)​
• “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Mt 22:37-40 #loveGod&Others Hey.. WHAT IF.. we really did #OBEY these two commandments?
• For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. Romans 3:23. #AllHaveSinned.

In these verses we find justice and an outline for just behavior. So I ponder again.. WHAT IF.. we simply follow the above Bible Basics instead of launching into another #SJWCRUSADE?


​Welcome to the #SJWCRUSADE Jungle..
#metoo, #churchtoo, #BLM, #believewomen, #toxicmasculinity, #whiteprivelege, #woke, #lgbtq, #prochoice, #abortionisawomansright, #impeach45, etc etc.
In most of these movements GUILT, MOTIVES, and PRIVILEGE are assumed.. and terms like INTERSECTIONALITY are spewed out (yes spewed). But honestly most #SJWCRUSADES add nothing to justice not already covered by God's Word and common sense, and #SJWCRUSADES often have their own agenda that perverts truth.

​​So with this in mind, onward and forward to societies #SJWCRUSADES parade of Injustices.
​

1. Respect Women (#believewomen, #metoo, #churchtoo, #toxicmasculinity) 
I believe all these #SJWCRUSADES have hijacked/injured truth where guilt is assumed (and very public) because we must #believewomen.   After all.. Why would a woman lie? A. Because for women, just like men Romans 3:23 applies.

• ​Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with [them] according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. 1 Peter 3:7 

• Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price [is] far above rubies. Proverbs 31:10-11
  So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 1:27 
  
  Simply put, there is no place in our Bibles condoning the disrespect, harassment, or assault of women. ​In all instances seek truth and justice without assumed guilt.
  
  ​

2. Racism (#BLM, #woke, #whiteprivelege)
Slavery, racism, and discrimination based on the color of your skin is foolish sin. Please note, when the Bible speaks of slavery it was a different culture and the meaning of the term slave was very different from what it means today.  The Bible never condoned slavery as we think of it today, or any bias against anyone based on the color of their skin.

• We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 1 Timothy 8:10
• There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28
• For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16
  

​Again, God created all men equal and so racism is simply put.. stupid.  Now, I must say that racism is found within all races.  ANYONE who judges the motives, intention, and abilities based on race is wrong, and could be racist.


3. Abortion (#prochoice??, #abortionisawomansright) 
There are ZERO valid arguments for abortion. Science and common sense tell us the unborn child is a beautiful human life and to be #prochoice is at it's heart a deception of truth or worse. There is a beating heart, there is the developing body of the unborn child. The birth canal is not the arbiter of life... conception is.  And abortion needs to be seen for what it is.. the ending of this life by violent methods.

• For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalms 139:13-14 
  

​Note: There needs to be great compassion for the expecting mother and her circumstances. There needs to be loving counsel available for these 9 months and beyond. There needs to be resources available for the expecting mom, and the kind words encouraging life over the alternative choice of abortion.

4. LGBTQ & Gender Issues (#lgbtq) 
​It matters what we Christians believe on these issues. Of course Christians should respect, appreciate, and love those who are LGBTQ, But.. we should not turn a blind eye to ANY sinful sexual lifestyle from infidelity, porn, adultery, and including LBTQ issues where the scriptures are so clear.

• and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men .. Romans 1:27
• Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men. 1 Corinthians 6:9
• We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, or slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 1 Timothy 8:10
  

​
​Again, The pursuit of Justice and Truth are biblical. Justice where we are presumed innocent until proven guilty, and where a just punishment is delivered to the truly guilty. 

​

While I do not believe in any monkey ancestry kind of evolution I do believe life certainly evolves.  

Let me share 'my' scientific findings from my exhaustive study here at  the Back Pew Institute for Common Sense.

Don't roll your eyes at me.. this is SCIENCE!
