It's all been done before User ID: 57906682 United States 07/20/2014 01:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.dallasnews.com] Quoting: Melancholy From segregated churches of East Texas to destitute slums of India, the Rev. Charles Moore fought for human rights. He delivered sermons about racism and sexism. He stood vigil against the death penalty. He went on a hunger strike to protest discrimination against gays and lesbians. But during retirement, the United Methodist minister questioned whether he had done enough. He saw the broken world around him... On a Monday afternoon in June, Moore, 79, drove from his home in Allen to Grand Saline, the town of his childhood about 70 miles east of Dallas. He traveled along country roads near fields of wildflowers and grazing cattle. In a strip-mall parking lot, outside a dollar store, beauty salon and pharmacy, he knelt down, doused himself with gasoline and lit himself on fire. Jesus Help him. Help us all, Buddhasits did this in the 70s in protest of veitnam. Ultimitly though there is a better way! LIVE AND STRIVE don't set youself on fire. |

I've always felt that a person is of more use alive than dead, even if the person became a martyr. Of course, that would require the living person be smart enough to know how to influence things. Maybe some people are better off dead! Last Edited by Save The Sears Tower on 07/20/2014 02:06 AM |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19948123 It was not racial separation, it was religious separation, you could be adopted into the Jewish faith, but you had to leave idols behind. Had nothing to do with color Jews were different tribes and not all the same color because of marriages. Daughter out with my own way. |

Maybe some people are better off dead! Indeed... I remember the story of Jesus.. Some say it was sucide , but I know it was not. He prayed in the garden so hard he sweat blood. He asked God to take this cup off of him, but BUT if it was his will then his will be done. He was also a man and he did not want to die like that BUT for the will of our father above. He was sent to forgive us all. He could of come down off that cross but if he has we would all still be damned by the old covenate curses of which they are legion. In his sacrifice we are forgiven and made new. So their aint no need for us to kill ourselves for anything. Better to live and preach the word and express love than to set ourselves on fire. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 60391122 United States 07/20/2014 03:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One would think that Christians would have more respect for self-sacrifice. When the monks in Vietnam started setting themselves on fire I knew "we" had no chance of winning. There is power in being a wave rather than a particle. Quoting: Sarah Conner This wasn't self-sacrifice. It was a retard killing himself for no reason. It was malignant white guilt. When was the last time any other race had people killing themselves because they felt guilty for their race? It's absurd. |

Had nothing to do with color Jews were different tribes and not all the same color because of marriages. The Bible constantly refers to genetics/genea/genesis/generations, that means race. The problem is the Bible has been systematically mistranslated to hide this fact to conform to Satanic Babylonian Talmudic Law of Man. When you understand Adam was the first of white people and that Cain was a product of Satan (The Adversary) and that there is EMNITY between these two races, then more of the Bible will make sense. You people use words like Jew when there is no such word. The word before it got changed around in the 1800's was Judean, and it mean a resident of Judea. The original builders of Judea, The Tribe of Judah, were white but south of Judea was Idumea where the Edomites lived. The Edomites were descendants of Esau who was white but had taken Canaanite wives. So while the Edomites claim to be descendants of Abraham, they are actually mixed with satanic serpent devil blood. That's why Jesus said they're a race of vipers. |

Self immolation is pretty much taking this type of activism to it's extreme. If anything, I think it's more likely he idolized people like the self immolating monks and wanted the glory of being a recognized civil rights activist. |
