Don't be silly. Time was created by God Himself. Read Genesis, you will find words like "and that was the first day."
Guess what...that's the beginning of time. Days before man was created.

:think: Hmmmm....It was always my position that "In the Beginning" itself was the creation of "time"....That is to be understood as the linear experience of existence we all have....Now, I suppose that the concept of a measurement of this experience would be another thing entirely so I guess the question could start with ones understanding of what you mean exactly by "time".
....and who is doing the measuring.
lain:....But on another theological note:
Fomenting ill will and exacerbating racial tensions? There are two or more, sides to every issue. To promote a victim mentality is incapacitating.
Standing up for the first time in their lives and showing no fear?
Funny how some black dudes with guns scared the crap out of so many people back in the day and made the GOP lead the way on gun control.
The GOP was more Yankee-Rockefeller-Republican :cigar: back then...Not that surprising actually.
lain: Not to say racist Southern Democrats wouldn't approve mind you it was just less of a conflict for Republicans back then.

Just funny how times change. Openly carrying was perfectly legal, and the Panthers weren't breaking the law. Yet they terrified the cookie cutter suburbs and led to anti-gun legislation.
Flash forward and you've got these Tea Party boobs walking around with carbines, playing dumb when people react to their macho posturing with fear.
Cute trick.
I know...I know. :chuckle:

You blame the Black Panthers for fermenting ill will?!?? How you figure?

God interacts with man in a way that man can understand.
Do you think God is bound by time (which he created)?

But the single purpose that they were there was to intimidate... that is the issue.
And nobody these days who openly carries wants to do that. At all.
Oath Keepers roaming Ferguson aren't looking to intimidate? Who are you trying to kid?

Do you consider them a para-military group like the Black Panthers?

That's like asking, "Do you think God is bound by gravity (which He created?)
Think McFly, think.

No, he is not bound by gravity or any other physical properties.
Uh, yeah. And keep in mind: The Panthers weren't breaking the law by open carrying.
The Oath Keepers walk the streets in camos bearing rifles. What else would you call that? And how do you think cops would react if a bunch of black guys in camos with guns showed up?
I believe the people they were trying to protect would have been and still will be best served by lobbying to change what is unjust within the system. Using economic boycotts has been successful.
Direct, aggressive confrontation gets people killed.
I do believe that some things are worth dying for but if less drastic means can be employed I believe they should.
We all can find reasons to feel abused. Where does that get us?
Most of the wonderful positive effects of Dr. Martin Luther King's non-violent movement has been undone, or so it seems to me.
Hatred destroys. By its very nature it cannot create.
I believe that MalcolmX came to see that there was a better way to achieve the goals of equality under the Law.
I have hope that more leaders will stop to see that violence will not bring us closer together.

No it wasn't. What is your source for that bogus information?
BTW, even if it were, it would have to be proven in a Court of law for it to be remotely illegal.
