Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
The Levant is a large geographic area that is far larger than Syria. Thus, by doing so, he was indicating the extent to which he was going to extend the CIA's MB possessed territory.
I think you are missing a bit of what that anon is saying.
Christianity is certainly "a superior" religion in terms of its message and integrity… Yet much of Christianity is built off of Paul's letters and the Roman acquisition of Christianity.
Remember, it was only a decade prior that the Romans were killing leaders of the Christian faith and burning their churches/documents. Then, suddenly, they flipped and created Roman Catholicism, the position of the Pope, Cardinals, Bishops, etc. Compared to the base teachings of Jesus, the entire Church - which would later engage in conquest of Europe and the destruction of historical records - was an abomination.
Which is where we got the Protestant Reformation - but by that point the historical and scriptural record becomes so fragmented that Jesus was still God, a sentiment directly contradicted by Jesus' own recorded words in the gospel. Which kind of gets us to Jehova's Witness… But… That's damn near a cult in many places, so we are basically playing musical cults with scripture.
The other thing is that our concept of God has evolved from the local and tribal deities of old to a grand cosmic engineer that stands behind the mechanisms of science. Our concept of God goes beyond something you can see or interact with in the garden of eden. It goes beyond a god that can meet you on a mountain. It is an entity that represents the limit of intellectual and philosophical capacity.
The god we worship in church is actually bigger than the god we worship by name. That is something that will be hard for many to wrap their heads around… The idea that the local goddess in the shrine actually regards a higher entity of divinity.
This isn't to say that older religions completely overlooked these facets, but that their perspective allowed them to consolidate this cosmic-god into a local god, as their world was generally much smaller, at least in terms of how they thought of physical space and people. Their ideas of the physical world were often much more 'magical' and 'spiritual' - with the merger of emotions, physics, and forces.
Once again, I do not understand how anons are missing the picture, here.
When Whittaker took over the AG position, Q stated that a dog needed a leash.
Who was the SC's "pitbull?"
Anons seem to think that Mueller's appointment over the SC means that everything the SC does is by his direction.
Once again, Mueller is not there to be a gladiator. Mueller is going to pass along things the SC finds. Mueller may have commented on the indictments that he felt they were excessive, but it is ultimately not his place to micro-manage the SC and determine what sees prosecution. That is what the AG is for.
Sessions recused himself because the democrats wanted to be able to get leaks from the SC by replacing Mueller or RR so they could know what the SC was doing, how to spin it, and/or how to construct defenses against it.
This game is really not that hard to follow or play. You just forgot how it is played.
