10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?

I would like to make a point here. How can we trust a government if it is not faithful to the innocent to be faithful to the elderly when it comes to health care?
Our nation is now the biggest mas murderer in human history. 49 million and counting have died because of national law sense 1973.
by James Mockridge
History is marked throughout the ages with episodes of atrocities caused under the dictatorship of a leader.
In definition, a dictator is used to describe a person who exercises an absolute power over a country and is not constrained by law.
In determining which dictator can be deemed the most 'brutal' who ever lived will depend ultimately on a persons own view. If you are Jewish you may immediately answer that Adolf Hitler was the most brutal due to his persecution of the Jews. People of China may look to Mao Tse Tung because of his visions for the country resulted in an estimated 15-30 million deaths due to famine.
It appears more appropriate to list dictators throughout history and the decisions be made by the individual.
Joseph Stalin: The supreme ruler and communist leader of the Soviet Union who ruled for 25 years until his death in 1953. His views and ideals for industrialization and agriculture resulted in the suffering and deaths of millions. Not content, he ordered the executions and imprisonment of literally thousands who were deemed to be 'enemies' of himself and his people.
Mao Tse Tung: Successful in creating a united and recognized China, his methods of achieving this would result in millions of deaths as he strived to modernize the country. A communist ruler between 1949 and his death in 1976 his cultural revolution caused damage to China's society and economy, but he remains a controversial figure, even after death, as some people favour what he did in developing the country, and others look at how he controlled the nation and caused unnecessary suffering to the people.
Adolf Hitler - A dictator who declared himself to be the ' Fuhrer' of Germany and leader of the Nazi Party during the 1930's until 1945. He declared the concept of racial hygiene as set up policies to eradicate those who were not deemed to be 'pure.' Responsible for the deaths of up to 15 million people, from Jews to the handicapped, using mass executions and concentration camps. Starvation and disease was advanced in his use of slave labour to build an 'ideal' Germany.
Ivan the Terrible - Known as the 'Tzar' of Russia between 1533 and 1547. Becoming mentally unstable in the latter years of his reign led to his orders to followers of mass executions and violence. A tyrant that ruled with no limits to his barbaric attitude of rapes and murders he chose the 'Oprichniki' (faithful followers) who carried out a bloody campaign against the masses.
Pol Pot - The Cambodian leader whose rule of slave labour and murder can be contributed to the deaths of up to 1.5 million during his reign as Prime Minister between 1976 and 1979. A dictator whose policies led to starvation, disease and murders.
Idi Amin Dada - President of Uganda who rule after a coup in 1971 until 1979 is littered with human rights abuse and the persecution of ethnic minorities was deemed responsible for up to 500,000 deaths.
Tamerlane - In the 14th Century Timur (he used several names) conquered large parts of Central and Western Asia. His armies slaughtered millions through the conquests of battle. One notable record is his ordering that a pyramid be built out of 70,000 skulls of the human dead.
History is comprised of leaders whose rule has resulted in the deaths of its nations and other nations people. It is difficult to summarize a particular 'worst' dictator as their methods and control all left an aftermath of death and destruction and it could be said that all dictators are as criminal as one another.

When you start building a culture of death by legalizing abortion, your culture is going to go down into a sea of blood.
The most brutal nation ever is us. :tear:

There are many other countries in which abortion is legal.
That's not to say that I support that but we aren't the only country that is guilty.

Which is why the coming judgment will not be focused on one nation but as it was in the time of Noah, the whole world.

People in this country claim to be predominantly Christian; that makes our practice of abortion even worse.
Unfortunately many people who profess to be Christians continue to vote for those who are rabid abortionists.

That's why we need to change things. I've heard have heard liberals always saying that we need to be an example to the world. If they could push a bill the make abortion illegal, I would be impressed.

Liberals/leftists/democrats have used as their party line since FDR their concern for the poor, downtrodden, helpless; but when it comes to the unborn child they scream "burn them"!

Jesus also said:
Luke 10:10-16
10. But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
11. Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
12. But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
13. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14. But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
15. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
16. He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
