The World is obviously not trying hard enough, to make the decrease/end of human trafficking happen.
¿The evil that men do…?
.
Human trafficking has increased across the globe in recent years due to poverty, greed and corruption, unemployment, war, sexual exploitation, and organized crime.
It is estimated that more than 49.6 million people have been trafficked worldwide, which makes human trafficking the most serious crime in the world, according to the ILO United Nations Statistics on Human Trafficking Worldwide.

The Faith hath spoken…
Based on the evidence, Jesus probably died on a Thursday. Later Christian tradition put Jesus’ last meal with his disciples on Thursday evening and his crucifixion on Friday. That may be one day off. Jesus’ last meal was likely Wednesday night, and he was probably crucified on Thursday, the 14th of the Jewish month Nisan. The Passover meal itself was eaten Thursday night, at sundown, as the 15th of Nisan began. Jesus likely never ate that Passover meal. He had probably died at 3 P.M. on Thursday.
The confusion arose because all the gospels say that there was a rush to get his body off the cross and buried before sundown because the “Sabbath” was near. Christians generations later assumed the reference to the Sabbath had to be Saturday—so the crucifixion must have been on a Friday. However, the day of Passover itself is also a “Sabbath” or rest day—no matter what weekday it falls on. In the year A.D. 30, Friday the 15th of the Nisan was also a Sabbath—so two Sabbaths occurred back to back—Friday and Saturday. Matthew seems to know this as he says that the women who visited Jesus’ tomb came early Sunday morning “after the Sabbaths”—the original Greek is plural (Matthew 28: 1).
The gospel of John preserves a more accurate chronology of events. John specifies that the Wednesday night “last supper” was “before the festival of Passover.” He also notes that when Jesus’ accusers delivered him to be crucified on Thursday morning they would not enter Pilate’s courtyard because they would be defiled and would not be able to eat the Passover that evening ( John 18: 28). John knows that the Jews would be eating their traditional Passover, or Seder meal, Thursday evening.
Reading Mark, Matthew, and Luke one can get the impression that the “last supper” was the Passover meal. Some have even argued that Jesus might have eaten the Passover meal a day early—knowing ahead of time that he would be dead. Most likely, Jesus ate no Passover meal in A.D. 30. When the Passover meal began at sundown on
Thursday, Jesus was probably dead. His followers had hastily put his body in a tomb until after the festival when they expected to conduct a proper funeral.

By the way, if you ever wondered how it could be said that Jesus died on a Friday resurrected three days later on a Sunday, the chronology in the post above in which he died on a Thursday solves that problem.

Each day I rise above the unnecessary, and only entertain the necessary.. Amen! 
Congratulations, I can’t say I achieve that. But I’m glad when I do.

Would you like to discuss the biblical lies? The way the Jews twisted practical magic to gain dominance over the fools? It’s truly amusing. Especially when you present the real history of sexual perversions, the biblical bluff. Do you need an explanation of how virgins get pregnant and how dissociative identity disorder develops? Just ask. I guarantee laughter.
No, but thanks for the offer.
Indeed, why know? Faith excludes knowledge. After all, you either know, or you believe in nonsense.
Faith is more than mere intellectual assent—as you, yourself, well know (and shudder). It is trust. Faithfulness is someone else’s trust that is kept, even if it isn’t given by them.
What big teeth you have… to chew on that.
The brutishness of faith is truly greater in those whose minds have been maimed by faith. Why try to think when you have faith? Why choose, reason, doubt? A person reduced to the level of an animal has no choice. One instinct — faith. And in the herd, it is indeed warmer. Souls are warmed by the same beasts, marching to the slaughterhouse. It is useless to argue with a believer — they have almost no reason left. A believer cannot doubt. It’s pointless to explain that it is faith that is the cause of all evil between people. As I’ve said before, faith does not tolerate unbelief and is the cause of conflicts and wars. Lies are simply impossible without faith. So, a person reduced by faith to an animal state is simply pathetic, though dangerous, in their malice towards rational people. By the way, which herd do you belong to? Christianity? Catholic?
Rational faith does tolerate doubting and questioning. It has no other choice.
…faith does not tolerate unbelief and is the cause of conflicts and wars.
Real faith is trust and confidence in someone or something.
what you are speaking about here is actually a lack of faith – it is fear and an unwillingness to
negotiate and compromise. It is depotism, the fanatical need to control and destroy…etc.
There is a difference between rational faith and religion and religious beliefs.
I will grant you though that sometimes religious people would like to enslave others to their way of thinking and believing. Perhaps “enslave” is too strong a word. Their intentions might be good ones but they come off like a crusader.
You seem to be a little dangerous yourself in your malice toward people and how you present yourself. So what herd do you belong to?

Faith is never rational, unlike knowledge. Faith excludes the rational, the purposeful, and the reasonable. How do you plan to choose from several beliefs? Faith does not provide such possibilities. Reason has no malice. Why would it need any? It is easier to destroy faith rationally, methodically, and correctly.
I don’t belong to any herd. The service is unique. I serve Chaos, Nothing, the Absolute, and Satan, among others. However, my mentor nominated me for a position in an old European magical clan. They even provided land for future governance, but the poor souls gave up, unable to assess an entity that was beyond their understanding.
Still chasing that^ dragon, of certainty..
