  3. …It’s actually the Flavian Amphitheater, and was built by Vespasian after he and his son Titus stomped Jerusalem into a mud hole while putting down the First Jewish Rebellion and rising to be Emperor in the Year of the Four Emperors, when everyone in Rome was killing everyone else in Rome to be boss after Nero was killed. Vespasian’s and his son Titus’ exploits were chronicled by synchophant and self-admitted Jewish sellout Josephus, who documented how Vespasian would have his troops crucify captives fleeing Jerusalem in embarrassing positions, so he wasn’t a particularly sweet man.

    “So the soldiers, out of the wrath and hatred they bore the Jews, nailed those they caught, one after one way, and another after another, to the crosses, by way of jest, when their multitude was so great, that room was wanting for the crosses, and crosses wanting for the bodies.”
    -Josephus, “The Jewish War” V

    As for the Colosseum, among other things, Christians were crucified and sometimes put to casual death for lunch break entertainment.

    …so, cool history, but I don’t think I’d want this for a kid any more than I’d want a brick Auschwitz complete with red brick ovens filled with plastic fire and an “ARBEIT MACHT FREI” sticker for the special sign made just for this exclusive.

    …guess I’m not a fan of lionizing places soaked in the blood of the deliberately martyred to trivialize it for a new generation being led to think Christians need to be put down anyway, but that’s just me…

    “… but the lions ate up all the prophets.”

    …they got a lot of Christian, but not the prophets, because the prophets saw it coming…;>

  9. My Petey B is in talks with the company for a 69 Lego piece (Made up of various shades of brown to boot!) that is a large scale replica of my unbleached elastic starfish!

    Thanks for putting my discernment alert on.
    Lego has a version of an Advent Calendar. . I couldn’t see the whole pic on the box, and I might be wrong, but it looked suspiciously like a completely secular Version.

    I tthink they would make money if Lego would come out with a box of Trumps greatest remodels. 🙂

  15. PJ, I get my kids the lego advent calendar every year. There’s nothing Satanic about them. I just like them because instead of a piece of chocolate every day, the kids get a new tiny lego Christmas toy to build.

    That’s it. There’s no hidden agenda. It’s just lego looking for a way to sell legos.
