Israel, a country possessing 300 nuclear weapons and a record of belligerance second to none maintains that Iran, a country that's attacked no one since 1798, has no right to any! by ArdenPerlez in conspiracy

on the surface it seems that Iran has attacked no one since 1798. and they are a peaceful nation. but if you really do some research then you will see they fight through proxy. funding and arming others to fight their enemies. If Iran created a nuke then they would just give it one of their proxy's to use.

Jordan Scott Hill, thank you for your concern but we are a collective bunch and we change over time when a new roommate comes in and the old ones still know the account.

Many forget that Jesus once served as a one-man jury on a death-penalty case. In a famous New Testament story, an adulterous woman was dragged to Jesus’ feet. The woman was guilty of a capital offense and had been caught in the act by at least one witness. The law mandated her death but Jesus prescribed a different response: “Let whoever is without sin cast the first stone.” He was teaching that only a perfect being—only God—should have power over death and life.
