Al-Rahi calls for Lebanon's return to 'positive neutrality'
Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi called Tuesday for Lebanon's return to "positive neutrality."
In a Christmas speech, al-Rahi called for one army "instead of two armies" and for distancing Lebanon from wars, conflicts, and alliances. "Lebanon must protect its sovereignty and defend itself against any occupier, without interfering in the affairs of other states."
"This neutrality enables Lebanon to play its active role as a place of meeting and dialogue between cultures and religions, and a defender of peace in the region," al-Rahi said.

al-Rahi feels that Christian supremacy in Lebanon via its constitutional Article 24 set-aside of half the seats in parliament ensures God's will is done, whether it is reasonable or not. "This is not for us to judge," said al-Rahi. Lebanese law used to give Christians a 6-5 majority in parliament. "See, we've tried God's patience enough by making that change."

chrisrushlau told AFP on condition of anonymity "God's blessed me the day I was born with all the information I will ever need to know. This means that I never needed to study or learn anything new since then. I don't even know how to use a toilet. God didn't feel this was an important talent for me to master. This is why he gave me a lifelong supply of diapers. People calling me "stinky" all my life is God's will. I take pride in that."

Lebanon misery explained: Berri instead of Imam Saddr, Miquati instead of Rafiq Hariri, Rahi instead of Sfeir... not to forget Michel Aoun, the worst president in human history that sold Lebanon to the Basij for 30 pieces of silver, with the blessing of Rahi who can't tell the difference between traitor and sovereign leader, a disgrace for 2000 years of proud Christian presence in Lebanon.
