Outside of the buildings on that day, no steel-framed skyscraper has ever collapsed the way the WTC towers did, three times. Several other towers have burned over the years, with fires much more obviously extensive than the fires affecting the WTC. None have suffered the same "spontaneous collapse".

But you can find any number of videos of buildings collapsing just as the WTC towers did. Look at demolition videos.

Let's summarize: demolition videos share identical characteristics to the collapse of all three WTC towers. Fires in steel framed buildings have zero examples of behavior like what happened that day.

Either the most unlikely set of coincidences ever witnessed in the universe, or ... [fill in the blank]

Yes, the leaders of this nation have lied to their people and lost my trust years ago.

I am glad I can trust the Lord. Jesus said this world is not his kingdom. His kingdom is not of this world. Just look up and you will see a universe full of stars that the evil rulers of this planet have not been able to violate.

Political leaders of all nations (and the majority of religious, artistic, educational, and scientific leaders) seek temporal power. Temporal power loathes admitting that it is a mirage, that death overtakes us all, no matter the context surrounding us, and that upon death, all we sought returns to the absolute zero meaning it always had.

Regardless of whether one believes in the Christian faith, the recognition that the quest for temporal power is inherently a combination of lies, ignorance, and delusion underlies the reality that many spiritual leaders have identified throughout history. Seeing the world in the absence of this overlay of "what we think it should be" is a blessing. I only wish more were open to it, but even that wish is more "what we think it should be."

This short temporal life would be more peaceful if mankind would grant your wish: to cease from pursuing power and worldly riches. War could finally stop and people could relax if people would be content with what they have.

The spiritual realm awaits everyone. No one is exempt. Then every man will see that what Jesus spoke was true: Man shall reap what he sows. He who sows sparingly will reap sparingly.

He also told us to not store up riches on earth where worldly goods can be damaged and stolen, but store up spiritual treasures, which can neither be stolen or damaged, and which a man may keep for ever. No one can even imagine what those treasures might be until he receives them.
