First of all, you ask me if the God of Christians forgives one who doesn't believe and doesn't seek the faith.

Pope Francis

I don't understand why black people have been so quiescent, so passive over the hundreds of years of American history. Why hasn't there been more violence, more armed struggle?

The history of the world for the past several centuries and current events at home and abroad confirm the existence of such a conspiracy (to destroy Christianity and obtain global power).

The Christian clergy appear to be more ignorant or more indifferent about this conspiracy than other Christians ... It seems so sad.
