Considering the Republican is the one who went into Iraq to stop a dictator who was hurting his own people, and now is the one who is going to Syria to do the same, I think they would?
To be fair, this new Republican is a lunatic who cheated his way into the presidency to make himself even MORE rich and famous than he already was
While I won't deny most of this, how is he going to get rich off of this when he's disconnected from his company for four years and refusing a salary?

I haven't focused on the Pacific, but I wouldn't be surprised.
That imo is quite sad that the pacific thetre gets no discussion, the ussr took Manchuria and korea during the war which would help the CCP later win the Chinese Civil war. The battle of midway is another great one, where Japan lost 3 aircraft carriers. But yeah Tojo held a lot of titles
The only reason I don't focus on the Pacific Theater is because I'm half-Japanese. It's a weird subject for me and I can study Europe far more impartially.

...I'm so tempted to state my opinion on these religoius matters, but seeing as I'm probably the only Catholic posting on this thread, I think I'd be responding to literally everyone else and restating the same points over and over again. xD I'm tempted, but I won't. Frankly I'm surprised how this thread has been allowed, I could see a lot of arguments blowing up here.
There have been plenty of arguments. But we're mostly being more polite after an Admin warning.
Well, I actually saw one that I found pretty offensive to my faith, but I'm not sure if that was before the warning. And besides, I don't have time to respond to a bajillion posts here.

I'm also a non-Catholic who isn't joining the arguments about religion because I'm not Catholic.
Well I don't see how that would affect you, seeing as practically everyone else here is a non-Catholic.
Did the Japanese Emperor do much during World War Two? From what the history books say, it looks like Tojo did everything.
He was, for the most part, void of power.

A christian should have nothing to do with magic and what she writes about.
If that's your opinion, it's fine, I suppose. But you realize that's saying C.S. Lewis was wrong to write Narnia, right? And I'm pretty sure it's common knowledge that he was a devout Christian and that his writings were very symbolic. And his other writings were straight up about being a Christian.
Narnia is a story of Christ for children, the difference is its teaching good things not witchcraft.
Well if we add to worship by bringing in Instruments why not root beer and Chips for the Lords supper, after it makes people happier, and that what's important, right?
The Lord's Supper isn't supposed to taste good, it's supposed to be a reminder of Jesus' sacrifice. You don't want people to enjoy the food, that will distract them. However, you do want people to enjoy praising God, right?
Praising God is the main reason but we use what he told us to use.
And Jesus compared the Kingdom of heaven to a Mustard Seed. And leaven. And a dragnet.
That is true, I don't see why pizza is any different.
Fine, i'll use the analogy, what if your parents gave you a cheese pizza and said don't add anything, but you didn't care and put pepperoni because you thought it was better, that's wrong because you disobeyed your parents, know Say God is your Parent, in a sense he is. if he gave you something and told you not to add to it, if you did you disobeyed God.
I think it made a great deal of sense. The Bible doesn't tell us everything we can and can't do, (you can use the Internet, you can't play with fire), it just gives us rules and standards for right and wrong. The things the Bible specifically tells us not to do are all we need to worry about as far as sin goes. Everything else is choice. (We can also use common sense, like in the "playing with fire" example.)
It tells us how to worship God, the most important thing ever.

But God surely wanted us to what works bets for us, right?
Ah. So the question is no longer 'is it wrong to play musical instruments in worship?' so much as it is 'Is it the best thing to do?'
At this point, we have reduced this matter to that of complete opinion. Only you can determine what sounds better -- instruments, or no instruments. But the important thing to remember is that in any case, we are given the freedom to express our love for God in almost any way we want (respecting certain boundaries, of course, and not being lunatics also helps : P)
If God wanted us to use them, don't you think he would have told us?
I hope that's a joke, even if it is its a very bad one.
It's sort of a joke but the message still stands. The only requirement for a worship song is that its message is pure. Besides -- as long as it gets people to lift their hands in the air and seemingly go into a trance, right?
