Concerning Hell And A Loving God

It’s a slow day and this is from a recent internet discussion concerning Pope Francis

If God has made peace with all, then why send people to Hell? I don’t think God sends people to Hell. The broad road leads to Hell, the narrow one doesn’t. He sends people on the narrow one and tells them not to use the broad one. Concerning Hell And A Loving God

Why is there a Hell? What else can you do with those who insist they are the center of the universe? If one can’t be loyal to the one who loves you more than anything; if one insists on tormenting and demeaning his other children despite all exhortations to change, if one insists on following monsters, you certainly can’t let him into the Kingdom.

So you give him what he wants, an existence without you. You might think that sounds like a mild punishment but God is the ONLY source of good. Without God’s protection you would be subject to every torment you can imagine and all the one’s you can’t for that matter. And without ever any chance of making an appeal to God again. That’s how I look at it.

God is not a sadist. He’s not cruel. He’s going to forget about the people in Hell. He’s going to set it up so He never has to hear them again or have THEM inflict pain on HIM again. Yes, we cause pain to God.

And yes, they will suffer forever just as people without God suffer on earth except magnified infinitely.

How do you view God? As jolly old St. Nick? I view Him as Jesus, my best friend. How do you view God?

John Linder Loses In Chester

One of the more regrettable occurrences in yesterday’s Democrat primary was the defeat in Chester of incumbent Mayor John Linder by Thaddeus Kirkland, whose tenure as state representative for the 159th District has been marked with hackery and pandering. John Linder Loses In Chester -- One of the more regrettable occurrences in yesterday's Democrat primary was the defeat in Chester of incumbent Mayor John Linder by Thaddeus Kirkland, whose tenure as state representative for the 159th District has been marked with hackery and pandering

The vote was 1,755 to 697.

Linder was making a sincere effort in trying to solve some bad problems and appeared to be on the verge of success.

Kirkland faces former Republican nominee and former Mayor Wendell Butler in November.

Good luck, Mr. Butler.

With 95 percent of the precincts reporting Ms. Olson, George and Ms. Covey have 284,242, 282,824 and 265,024 votes respectively far higher than fourth place Cheryl Allen who has 171,569 votes. Rebecca Lee Warren and Correale Stevens have 146,974 and 136,288 votes.

On the Democrat side Wecht has 359,838 votes; Ms. Donohue, 350,573 votes and Dougherty, 349,994 votes. Following them are Anne E. Lazarus with 271,447 votes, Dwayne D. Woodruff, 190,708 votes and John Henry Foradora with 112,096 votes.

Democrat Alice B. Dubow will face Republican Emil Giordano for the lone Superior Court seat while Democrat Michael H. Wojcik will face Paul Lalley for the lone Commonwealth Court seat.

The 15-member Superior Court is the intermediate appellate court for civil and criminal cases from county Common Pleas Courts. Commonwealth Court is a nine-member body that is the intermediate appellate court for issues involving taxation, banking, insurance, utility regulation, eminent domain, election, labor practices, elections, Department of Transportation matters, and liquor licenses

In the Penn Delco School Board race, anti-corruption activist Lisa Esler is leading on both ballots with 100 percent of machines reporting according to the Delaware County website. She has 425 votes on the Democrat ticket and 1,273 votes on the Republican ticket. Six people are contesting five seats and school directors are allowed to cross file. Lewis Boughner has been eliminated from the Republican ticket but remains on the Democrat one. Leon Armour remains on the Republican one but is off the Democrat ballot. The votes from both party ballots will be tallied together for the candidates. It is possible for a candidate whose name appears on both ballots to lose, it should be noted.

In another race of interest,  Joe Gale has won the second spot on the Republican ticket for the Montgomery County Commissioner race according to the unofficial figures on the county website. With one precinct left to report he leads party-endorsed Scott Zelov 16,071 to 15,071. The top Republican vote-getter is Steve Tolbert Jr. at 19,099. They will face Democrats Jose Shapiro and Val Arkoosh who received 30,507 and 25,728 votes respectively.

While State Sen. Dominic Pileggi and Margaret Amoroso appear to have failed to win on the Democrat ballot in their bids to become  Common Pleas Court judges, Anthony Scanlon, who was recently appointed to the bench, appears to have not according to the most recent figures from the Delaware County website.

Larry Abel of Haverford Township was the top vote-getter among Democrats getting 10,021 votes. He was followed by Scanlon with 8,759 votes  and G. Lawrence DeMarco of Nether Providence at 8,114. Pileggi was fourth wtih 7,624 votes and Ms. Amoroso of Middletown was fifth with 6,711 votes.

Three seats on the bench are up for election.

Pileggi, Scanlon and Ms. Amoroso were the only candidates on the Republican ballot with Pileggi at 22,868 votes; Scanlon, 21,647; and Ms. Amoroso, 20,520.

Filing errors kept the names of Democrats seeking County Council seats off their primary ballot. However, as only 250 write-in votes were needed for a candidate to be placed on November’s ballot and 8,722 write in votes have been filed, it seems there will be a race.

Fixing NBA Draft

The pathetic Philadelphia 76ers will learn in the next few hours (May 19) what the arcane calculations of the Ping Pong balls tell them will be their draft position. Fixing NBA Draft

The Sixers had the third worst record in the NBA this year — which is up one from last year — and have a 15.6 percent chance of landing number one and a 46.9 percent chance of finishing in the top three.

The Ping Pong lottery is designed to keep teams from trying to lose in the last few weeks of the season to obtain a better draft position.

Obviously it doesn’t work.

Maybe not so obviously it is easy to fix.

There are 30 teams in the National Basketball Association. The goal is for all teams to keep playing to win through the last second of the last game.

The primary motivation is to make the playoffs and that is followed by attempting to obtain the best seed.

For teams that have no hope in making the playoffs the goal, however,  becomes getting the best possible draft pick which means playing to lose and, no, the lottery hasn’t changed this.

Here is our suggestion: Give the first round exclusively to the 14 teams that fail to make the playoffs with the wrinkle being that it is the team with the best record drafting first. When the second round commences it reverts to the traditional worst team drafts first. This means that all non-playoff teams get two choices before the playoff teams pick — the worst team will get the 14th and 15th choices — and there is a big incentive to win every game one can.

Pennsylvania Primary Election 2015

Tomorrow, May 19, is Primary Election Day for 2015 which will determine who will be the party nominees for the general election  on Nov. 3 for the judicial and municipal offices which include school boards and county offices.  Pennsylvania Primary Election 2015

It’s a low turnout race so one’s vote is very important.

We are generally going to go with the Republican Party recommendations albeit we are going to pick state Montour County District Attorney Rebecca Warren, for state Supreme Court in lieu of one of the endorsed candidates who are Adams County Common Pleas Court Judge Mike George, Commonwealth Court Judge Anne Covey of Bucks County, and Superior Court candidate Judy Olson of Pittsburgh. All are good choices, however, as is Superior Court Judge Cheryl Allen of Pittsburgh. Judge Allen is black, for those whose priority is diversity.

We encourage all Penn Delco residents to vote for Lisa Esler for school board and that all Montgomery County residents hit the button for Joe Gale for Montgomery County Commissioner. Fresh blood is definitely needed in that once Republican stronghold.

Here’s a fact the progressives who control the establishment voices and who seek to keep the country in permanent division try to keep hidden: The poverty rate for black and white children is exactly the same at 8 percent IF the children are in a married couple family. Black White Child Poverty Rate Same -- The poverty rate for black and white children is 8 percent IF the children are in a married couple family

For white children in single-mother families it is 33 percent. For black children in single-mother families it is 49 percent.
