Tackling Reincarnation on the Dennis Prager Show | RPT Views

Published by Papa Giorgio

(If you wish to skip to my all, it is at the 26:52 mark)

A week ago, I called into the Dennis Prager Show for the “Ultimate Issues Hours.” The topic was regarding reincarnation, and to a lesser extent, past lives. I was the first caller to get through, and I used examples from some in-class comments in a Philosophy 101 class. Which made it into a paper for that same class, “The Logic of Reincarnation”.

[And here is the 1st chapter as well that bleeds into the “Reincarnation” one well]

Another post dealing more specifically with “channeling” and past lives is this one, in it you will find various links and media to help dissect these views of new age and eastern thinkers: “Spiritism and Ghosts | The Christian View”.

I start the blow video with a great apologetic against the reality of “reincarnation” via Robert Morey (books):

REINCARNATION

PAST LIVES

Is Jesus Plagiarized from Pagan Myths?

Also see my: Is Jesus a Copycat Savior?

PART ONE: Since its release in 2007, Zeitgeist: The Movie has been seen by millions. Most people remember the second part of the film, which discusses 9/11, but the first section is of special interest to ancient history buffs. In this review, Dr. Miano looks at the history claims made by Peter Joseph, the writer of the movie, to see if they are in keeping with the facts.

PART TWO: In this second part of a review of Zeitgeist: The Movie, we consider the claims made about the myths of Attis, Krishna, Dionysus, and Mithra (Mithras) to see just how similar to the narratives about Jesus of Nazareth they are. Was the writer of the film suffering from parallelomania?

The Judge Went Berserk | Alan Dershowitz

Published by Papa Giorgio

Alan Dershowitz reacts after visiting Trump trial and he can’t believe it – the judge went berserk

HANNITY: …I’ve got to imagine in all the years you practice law, have you ever seen anything like this?

DERSHOWITZ: No, I never have. I sat in the front row, literally just feet away from where all the action occurred. I rolled my eyes when the judge made some rulings that were absurd. Any first-year evidence student would understand that he was making biased rulings in favor of one side.

I stared him down, but Costello didn’t. He acted like a normal witness and the judge went berserk. The judge violated Trump’s constitutional right to a public trial by kicking the media out of the courtroom. I don’t know why I wasn’t kicked out, and I heard him lecture Costello… “What you did was contemptuous. You looked at me contemptuously…” it reminded me of Mae West when a judge said, you’re showing contempt for the court and Mae West said no, Your Honor, I’m trying my best to hide my contempt for the court.

I’m sure Costello was trying to hide his contempt for the court, but the judge had such a thin skin that he threatened him. He said he would strike the testimony and hold him in contempt if he rolled his eyes again. You have a constitutional right to roll your eyes and to stare at anybody. It was absurd!

And then to sit so close to Cohen, watching him give lie after lie—would you believe what he actually said? He would not have accepted a pardon from Donald Trump after he had previously said he would do anything to avoid prison. He would, essentially, he would lie, he would cheat, he would do anything to avoid prison—but I won’t accept the pardon from Donald Trump. 

If you believe that I got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. There was so many lies!… this judge has committed more reversible errors in the one day I was in the courtroom than I’ve seen in years and years of practicing law. 

It’s just an outrage.

The Hush Money Trial

Published by Papa Giorgio

LANGUAGE WARNING!

Bill Maher destroys credibility of Alvin Bragg’s sham Trump lawsuit following release of 2018 Stormy Daniels interview:

The hush money trial has been quite entertaining. The judge seemed to have lost control of his courtroom while Stormy Daniels was giving a very detailed account of her sexual encounter with Donald Trump. Retired Superior Court Judge Larry Goodman, who served on the bench for 31 years in the San Francisco Bay Area, joins Armstrong & Getty to discuss.

Armstrong & Getty Note John Edwards and CNN’s Fareed Zakaria

Published by Papa Giorgio

RED STATE has this:

As the 2024 presidential election cycle continues to devolve into hypocritical absurdity, with cognitively-vacant Joe Biden self-immolating by the nanosecond and the left desperately trying to pull out all the stops to Stop Trump, a surprise voice has sprung forth from the lap-dog media to make a startling admission.

Haughty CNN host Fareed Zakaria actually opined on this week’s gripping episode of “GPS Sunday” that the criminal hush-money charges brought against former President Donald Trump in New York City were politically motivated.

Who knew? Except all of us, I mean.

[….]

In further suspension of disbelief, Zakaria also bemoaned the contrast between the growing division in the Democrat Party and comparative unity among Republicans.

There’s no denying that the [Democratic] party seems more openly divided than it has been in decades. Only 33 percent of Americans said they approved of Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war, which is now opposed both by people who think he’s too soft and people who think he’s too hard on Israel.

Ahh, Fareed, you really don’t get it, do you? Here’s the thing: 

When everything you support or oppose can be connected to the ballot box with no more than three dots, you get what you’re now getting in the Democratic Party. 

Even worse, when you (Joe Biden) play both sides against the middle and foolishly try to make “everybody” happy, you end up making nobody happy. Joe Biden and his handlers have zero convictions, other than doing whatever they think they must do to win.

The befuddled host continued, noting in a #duh moment:

Republicans seem to be uniting behind Trump. Whatever opposition he faced in the primaries has largely melted away. And the trials against him keep him in the spotlight, infuriate his base, who sees him as a martyr and even may serve to make him the object of some sympathy among people in general who believe that his prosecutors are politically motivated. This happens to be true. 

Let’s forgo the “martyr” mentality argument, although to pretend it doesn’t exist would be to deny reality. Instead, let’s just flip the script and engage in a bit of whataboutism. 

If Joe Biden — or any Democrat — was subjected to anywhere near the degree of political persecution rained down on Donald Trump for more than eight years, what would have been the reaction on the left? Yes, a rhetorical question. 

To his credit, Zakaria finished strong.

In my opinion, I doubt the New York indictment would have been brought against a defendant whose name was not Donald Trump. A majority of Americans are skeptical that Trump will be able to get a fair trial according to a CNN poll.

Memo to Fareed Zakaria: You don’t have to “doubt it,” bud, you can take it to the left-wing bank.

 

God, Drugs and Rock ‘n’ Roll | Greg Laurie w/Alice Cooper

Published by Papa Giorgio

VIDEO DESCRIPTION (Video Interview Below):

In this exclusive one hour interview, Pastor and Evangelist Greg Laurie sits down with rock legend Alice Cooper. Alice Cooper is widely considered to be the father of “Shock Rock” and has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide. While he is known for his music career, most do not know that he is a committed Christian.

In this sprawling conversation recorded at, “The Rock” (a Teen Center created and started by Alice), Cooper and Laurie chat about his journey to faith, and how he has used his faith in Jesus Christ to help at-risk young men in his community.

Growing up in a Christian home, Cooper always knew he needed Christ. But it took a dramatic turn in a drug-induced haze when he realized he needed to recommit to Jesus Christ or he was finished. The son and grandson of preachers, Cooper knew who Jesus was and knew that Christianity was true, yet he wanted to walk his path—a trail that led him to the heights of stardom, partying, and calling friend some of the biggest names in show business.

Then it all changed. His marriage was falling apart and Cooper was in the pits of alcohol and drug use when he decided to quit and get clean. He began going to church and says that it was fear of God that brought him around, that he was terrified of Hell, and it was fear that saved him, but the love of Christ that grew him.

The conversation also includes musings by Cooper and Laurie about the so-called “27 Club,” various legends of rock and roll, as well as a discussion about depression, suicide, drugs, alcohol abuse, and the life it leads one to. The conversation in its entirety is a testament to the power of God and His transforming power and forgiveness, if we only accept Him and allow Him to change us for the better.

Piers Morgan Interviews Stephen C. Meyer (Serious Saturday)

Published by Papa Giorgio

(Hat-tip to Wintery Knight’s FACEBOOK) In a lively yet in-depth discussion, Piers Morgan drills down to the core of human existence with Stephen C. Meyer, the prominent ‘intelligent design’ advocate. In this Piers Morgan Uncensored special, Meyers firmly rejects the idea that a scientific worldview leads to atheism, arguing instead that ‘the universe requires a creator or cause’. When Richard Dawkin’s name is mentioned, Meyer claims that he actually really loves the atheist firebrand and admires his intensity. Lastly, Morgan and Meyers agree that the question of God’s existence is tied to more than just cold hard facts, but also human nature itself.

Leftist Students Embrace Nazis and Segregationists

EXAMPLE 1: Yale students form a human chain to block a Jewish student from entering the University

Do we have a historical precedence of this happening?

EXAMPLE 2: UCLA Jewish student trying to attend class is forcibly prevented entry by 6 masked Pro-Hamas students while UCLA guard stands by and DOES NOTHING. “I am a UCLA student…my class is over there. I want to use THAT entrance. Let me go in.”

Do we have a historical precedence of this happening?
