It is my belief that we are currently living in the Last Days, as described in various parts of the Bible. Proof of this argument lies in the prophecy and infallible word of God which describes certain events that will take place in the end times so that persons living in these times will know that it is indeed near the end of the world.

The "Communist Manifesto" written by Marx and Engels is little more than a doctrine explaining why the whole world should engage in war. It spends a lot of time telling people what they should believe history really means and then upon the outcome of Marx's conclusions of all of history, it goes on to inform the proletariat that its only option is war. This doctrine spends little time explaining what a communist society would really look like or how it would sustain itself (is it any wonder it's...

The evidence is clear! a) She's like 4 and she speaks fluent Spanish. b) Her backpack is even Spanish-speaking! Who knows what narcotics you could hide in a Mexican backpack? c) She always needs to find a map, and deliver the "package" that's in her backpack to her destination.
