Now for the pik:
Doesn't it make the point about Yahweh and his worshippers. Promising something beautiful.
But the reality looks like this:

Oh! yeah - that pik!
First read another 2 verses from the Psalm:
Vs 12:
The birds of the sky nest by the waters; they sing among the branches.
Vs 14:
He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate— bringing forth food from the earth:

Sorry, I'm in a good mood this morning (albeit a bit cold) and feeling quite sarcastic.
Psalm 104:24:
How many are your works, L ORD ! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

Strange! No faith based believers commenting on this man's "faith."

BobFlanagan007:
Wow what a complete and utter braindead clueless evil twat. Hope he dies soon.
Hey, Bob. A couple of reminders.
1. As I commented to steve above, this man is a man of faith, who just happens to be a soldier, also.
2. He is also fighting on the side that the west (most of all the USA) who support this rebellion against the ruling Baath-Socialist Government of Syria.
So it must be a righteous war, eh?

steve2:
The healing power of faith. Makes me kinda emotional.
Surely, Steve, none of the Christian's who come here to preach to us, would deny the power of faith, or fail to admire the faith of this man who is (still a) gangster.

Singapore's Pink Dot celebration
by fulltimestudent ina few years ago i had an opportunity to discuss the situation for gay people in singapore with a gay chinese man from that country.
he told me that despite the fact that the singapore government persisted in retaining an old british law that criminalised male to male sex, and that the government banned any normal method of protest, that gay people in this small (essentially just one city on a small island) had decided not to use western methods (i.e.
as used by gay groups in western countries) but to basically use a large picnic to celebrate their sexuality.. this was the first i'd heard of what has become known as singapore's pinkdot.. starting very small it has grown.

I’m standing here today as a Pink Dot ambassador because I want to stand in solidarity with all my LGBTQ friends and family, and the LGBTQ community.Many of you are my childhood friends, my mates from school, fellow artists, collaborators and colleagues. You are my hair, make-up and fashion counsels, close confidants, trusted teachers and mentors. I am not just your straight ally. I consider you part of my family, and I want to you to know that I love you, I accept you, I support you.
This is my commitment, and this is my choice.
There are some things in life we don’t have a lot of choice over.
We can’t choose the colour of our skin. We can’t choose the family we are born into. We can’t choose to be tall or short, right or left-handed, just as how we can’t choose to be born male or female, gay or straight.
But I believe there are many things in life that we CAN choose.
We CAN choose to embrace and treat our fellow human beings, including our LGBTQ brothers and sisters, equally, and with kindness, dignity and respect.
We CAN choose to raise our children to be secure and confident in who they are, and to teach all our young ones to be compassionate and accepting of those who are different from them.
We CAN choose to be big-hearted and open-minded as a society, one where every Singaporean -no matter their race, language, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity– can feel included and feel a part of this place we call home.
Let’s choose to listen instead of judge. Let’s choose to be one united people, instead of being divided. Let’s choose to open our hearts instead of closing our minds.
Pink Dot is more than just about LGBTQ issues. Pink Dot is special because it reminds us of our common humanity. It reminds us of the need to show compassion to our fellow man, which is the foundation of a plural and multicultural society like ours.So, thank you, each and everyone of you, for being here today to form this Pink Dot. Thank you to our LGBTQ brothers and sisters for your courage, and for standing up and being counted; to our straight friends, allies and families for your show of support and solidarity; and most of all, to the organizing team and volunteers of Pink Dot for bringing us together in the spirit of love and celebration tonight.
Change begins with us – it begins in the small places close to us – in our homes, in the streets where we live, in our schools, in our workplaces. Each and everyone of you is an ambassador, in your own way, simply because you are here. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

What were Str8 Singaporeans saying about Pink Dot?
Here's a well-known Sg blogger, Mr Miyagi (with his wife and child).
He writes: I am honoured to have been invited to speak at this year’s Pink Dot as part of a new segment called “Community Voices”.
This is what I said:
When I was in secondary school I was among the fortunate few to have friends who were gay. Some of whom I knew were gay before they knew or cared to admit.
My father was the most concerned, of course, and told me he was worried that I would get affected or influenced — in his own words, “you spend so much time with him, you become a gay then you know”.
I said, “Pa, look at me, I can’t dress to save my life. I wish I could be influenced”.
Then came National Service, the 2 and a half years that was meant to make men out of boys. Interestingly, it was also where I learned how brave my gay army mates were, and how they stood the tallest among the fighting men in my combat unit.
Not only did they endure the physical duress of training, they took the insults — being called Chow Ah Kua, Bapok, Faggot — any derogatory term for a gay man, daily. It was only after my unit became operational that the tables turned somewhat.
The best GPMG gunner was gay. 2 of my company’s best platoon sergeants were gay, and the guy that broke another soldier’s leg during unarmed combat was one of those Chow Ah Kuas.
These NS boys were tortured and I cannot begin to imagine the torment they must have endured, having to hide and deny who they were.
Things are ever so slightly better these days. There’s this civic event right here that celebrates and affirms the right to love, regardless of orientation, even if some people don’t, and even if there is an unjust and unconstitutional piece of legislation that doesn’t.
My hope is that it doesn’t stop here. And I will support this celebration and affirmation until it becomes a right under the laws of this otherwise dynamic country.
I say this because my family and I count ourselves the luckiest people. It’s not because we probably have more gay friends than straight ones. But it’s because many of our gay friends have shown us the ability to sustain love above all manner of obstacles, objection, ridicule.
And more importantly, they love my wife, my son and myself for who we are.
We are without doubt blessed by their friendship, and our family cannot do without their love.
I am glad that we are raising our son amongst friends who share the same family values. That two people can love each other regardless of gender, gender identity or labelling.
If this is the “gay lifestyle”, then my family and I will wholeheartedly promote it.

Big A, who leads one of Denmark's most notorious gangs, needs no instruction in how to use a weapon.

This is the story of a man who had faith!
Gangster and drug dealer Abderrozak Benarabe, or Big A as he's known on the streets of Copenhagen, made a deal with God that if his brother was delivered from cancer he would redeem his criminal ways and go to fight jihad in Syriaalongside his fellow foreign fighters and child soldiers under 16. Director Nagieb Khaja followed Big A from his gang in Denmark into brutally-intense battle on the jihadi frontline in Syria and back to Copenhagen to amass and smuggle supplies to the fighters across the Greek-Turkish border.
