If you’re talking about the change of the Royal Family’s name in WWI, it went from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to House of Windsor.

You are correct; I looked it up. That took place in 1917 during WWI. I had thought that the Battenberg → Mountbatten name change took place later, during the WWII years, but as it happens, that also took place in 1917.

I have learned my one new thing for the day; now I can go back to bed 😃

Off topic: I completely admire all of you for your knowledge of history and your desire to not repeat mistakes of the past. I know very little about it. This, for me, is the intellectual equivalent of watching a world champion ping pong match.

I have no idea what is happening and what is great form or an excellent move. I am just suspended in, “Woah…COOL!!!”

You wouldn’t be so impressed if you watched me trying to use the microwave last night 🙂
 
Yup. I don’t know how they cook food in Ireland, but Americans would be up a stump without microwaves because so much of our food is “further processed”.

I remember how one huge poultry processing company in the U.S. thought Europe would be a good place to market American poultry, which is much cheaper than it is in Europe. But oops! It found Europe a poor market because Europeans (at least then) buy whole chickens and cook them themselves. The big money is in “further processed” products, not “commodity chicken”. By further processed I mean like chicken cordon bleu, Chinese meals, or similar products that are already prepared and just need to be thawed and heated.

Americans would starve without microwave ovens. 🙂

But on the other hand, they hit it big in the Far East, and here’s how. Americans prefer white meat and don’t much care for dark meat. So they set up factories in Mexico to cut the dark meat into little squares and impale them on little wooden skewers. Orientals prefer dark meat and want it on those little skewers for their various dishes, and cut into small pieces so they cook fast in a superheated wok.

Now, whether orientals will ever buy lots of microwaves to replace the woks is something I don’t know.

Do you have some type of premonition? Don’t keep me in suspense!
Why would anyone desire a war to come? Haven’t we seen enough wars?
 
You should of thought about that, before pulling the lever for Trump/Pence.
Anybody of rational intelligence could foresee an inevitable war with Trump at the Helm.
Abortion is not the only issue. But this is what happens when people vote only for a single issue and forsake all other issues.

Just wait and see.
 
Oh come on! Iran, Russia and North Korea have always been threats.

You don’t have a clue about any war coming.

It depends. I would rather have the world accept redemption and turn toward God. Barring that, I would rather have a punishment that turns us toward God. War is a punishment. I would least like to see a ‘peaceful’ slide into total Godlessness and degeneracy. Better that the world should burn and all men die than for that to happen.

God punishes those He loves. When He stops punishing you, that’s when you know that you’re too far gone to be saved. At that point, death can’t come soon enough, because every added year of life is just a lower pit of Hell.

Child murder, sodomy, sexual degeneracy, paganism, heresy, atheism, effeminacy, drug abuse, atheism, feminism, institutionalized theft of wages through inflation and wasteful spending… These are the things that brought Israel low. Health care and ‘muh immigrant strangers!’ never made the list.
 
You want war because of heretics and taxes?

There’s a level of hysteria on CAF that sometimes takes my breath away. One could almost surmise that your real objection is to the existence of liberty at all; except for making money.

Sometimes I hear this:
“God gave us free will; what was He thinking?!”
It is a good question to consider.

Having re-read the entire passage, no where in there does it say anything about taxation being a great evil. I think it’s you who are confusing your Libertarianism with Christianity.

Yes, you list “institutionalized theft of wages through inflation and wasteful spending” as a great evil, right along side child murder no less! This is a fundamentally libertarian position which has absolutely nothing to do with Christianity whatsoever, so far as I’m aware, unless you are an advocate of some kind of prosperity doctrine. What the Bible makes clear is that you must render Caesar’s things unto Caesar, it says nothing about the evils of “theft of wages” by governments.

I’ll stand by what I said. You are confusing a political view with a theological view.
