Was God Really Supposed to be Separate from State?



I understand that lately I have been on a "religion" kick, but believe me it wasn't the plan. Unfortunately with all of the "anti-religious" sentiment that I have found with the various people who apparently do this for a living, it's been a day after day battle and even when you present them with irrefutable proof of America's Christian heritage and traditions, they keep telling you how stupid you are. Okay so I have proof and am stupid for providing the truth. That sure makes sense to me.




While those again the Christian religion in particular have loud voices, they cannot succeed if incorrect, but those loud voices are drowning out the tolerant Christian types and I really believe that it's time for Christians step up and fight back.




Your Pastor can't do it, nor can he even tell you about anti-religious legislation and issues because according to one source I found, he would be breaking the law.




Is there, or should there be a total separation of Church and State? Liberals think so because they consider the State to be God, but others disagree. Being a native of New Jersey, pay attention to the Preamble in it's Constitution and ask yourself how else it would be possible for such a small State to be so blessed with industry, invention and innovation?




"Those people who will not be governed by God
will be ruled by tyrants."                                                                              -- William Penn




America's Founding Fathers did not intend for there to be a separation of God and
state, as shown by the fact that all 50 states acknowledge God in their own

After reviewing acknowledgments of God from all 50 state constitutions, one
is faced with the prospect that maybe, the ACLU and the out-of-control federal
courts have been wrong!

Remember that the Mayflower Compact which is considered to be America's first governing
document clearly proclaims "In the Name of God, Amen." “Having undertaken for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and the Honour of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the first Colony in the northern Parts of Virginia;... and Furtherance of the Ends aforesaid:..."



RESEARCH CONTINUES --- The Apostate Church

In doing research for yesterday's feature, I came to the conclusion that it will be a little harder than originally planned. I will be providing commentary and links to other blogs or web sites which I determine are credible and that I am in general agreement with. There are many and varying views on this issue and I want to present as fair and unbiased information as I can. I hope to post the story on Saturday, so keep checking and thank you for understanding.

A Tree in Known . . . By It's Fruit!

<sup>From time to time, I will be providing commentary on topics that are bothersome to me. After all, this was the primary reason for my blogging. I see what is good being called bad, and what is bad being called good, and those doing the calling have no business doing any of it while those who are called do nothing about it.

I am doing some research on this phenomenon ind if I finish today, I will post the commentary. If I am not successful, check back tomorrow, but keep the following Bible verses in mind, and ponder it's meaning.</sup>


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

^{The Bible -- Matthew 12: 33 - 37
33} “Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.


³⁴ You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

³⁵ A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.


³⁶ But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.


³⁷ For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Iran To Execute Christian Pastor - The Islamic Fear

I thought I posted last night. Hummmmm. Anyway, today's commentary.

THE STORY - by Huffington Post

Youcef Nadarkhani

Youcef Nadarkhani, an Iranian pastor who in 2010 was found guilty of apostasy and sentenced to death for refusing to recant Christianity, may have received a final execution order, according to the American Center for Law and Justice and Fox News.


Neither Human Rights Watch nor Amnesty International could verify the information for The Huffington Post, but the White House on Thursday afternoon issued a statement condemning the reports and calling on Iran to release Pastor Nadarkhani.


"This action is yet another shocking breach of Iran’s international obligations, its own constitution, and stated religious values," the White House statement read. "The United States stands in solidarity with Pastor Nadarkhani, his family, and all those who seek to practice their religion without fear of persecution -- a fundamental and universal human right."


While unable to verify the reports, Faraz Sanei, the Iran researcher at Human Rights Watch, spoke with The Huffington Post in a telephone interview about the uncertain circumstances surrounding Nadarkhani.
"A death sentence that has been sent for implementation by the judiciary would suggest the person is at imminent risk of execution," Sanei said. "If it has been sent to the implementation department, that is very troubling."


Sanei added that if the implementation has indeed been sent, Nadarkhani is "one step closer" to being executed.
Islam is the official religion in Iran, and according to the CIA, 98 percent of the country's population is Muslim.
According to Amnesty International, Pastor Naderkhani, 34, became a Christian when he was a teenager and has said he never practiced Islam despite being born to Muslim parents. He has been a pastor for at least 10 years, according to the Christian Post.


In September, the Iranian Supreme Court upheld Naderkhani's 2010 conviction of apostasy after he reportedly refused to recant his Christian faith.


MY COMMENTARY -- As made on Huffington Post

“I have said this in the past and shall reiterate it here.

IF Islam is the one TRUE religion as they claim, then why does it FEAR all others?

I'm secure in my faith and Youcef is secure in his.

The Islamic Republic on the other hand apparently has been shaken to it's core because of this one man. Killing him will only confirm this fact for all the world to see, and they should be told that from the highest levels of all civilized governments.”


MY COMMENTARY TO YOU --

This is an ongoing battle for the hearts and souls of man (meaning all humans).
Islam cannot compete head to head with other religions because it is so insecure in what they believe.

There are 7 major religions on the Earth, and the founder in only one of them ever claimed to be the Son of God. Those of us who profess to be Christian believe that Jesus is indeed the Son of God. He said it, and that settles it. For Mohammad to come along 600 plus years later and declare that this is somehow wrong wrong makes no reasonable sense.

Does Girl Scouts Promote Planned Parenthood Garbage?

The headline was provocative on the Huffington Post.

 

Bob Morris, Indiana Lawmaker, Stands By Comment That Girl Scouts Promote Abortions, Homosexuality

The story read like this...

 

INDIANAPOLIS -- Undaunted by ridicule from the leader of his own party, an Indiana lawmaker is standing by his allegations that the Girl Scouts is a radical organization that promotes abortions and homosexuality.

The scouts and Planned Parenthood have dismissed Rep. Bob Morris' comments as absurd, as did Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma. But Morris, a Republican, told The Associated Press his critics need to do more research into the 100-year-old scouting organization.

"My family and I took a view and we're sticking by it," Morris said Tuesday, adding that his daughters were joining an alternative group for young girls run by conservative Christians. "My girls are no longer Girl Scouts. They're now going to join American Heritage Girls."

Morris' comments were the butt of jokes inside the House on Tuesday, with Bosma spending much of the day handing out Thin Mints to lawmakers. He joked that Morris' comments led him to buy hundreds of cases of the famous Girl Scout cookies.

"I purchased 278 cases of Girl Scout cookies in the last four hours," said a clearly sarcastic Bosma, who closed Tuesday's session by asking the former Girl Scouts in the chamber to stand up.

Morris' comments about the Girl Scouts came in a letter he sent to House Republicans on Saturday that said he had conducted some research on the Internet and discovered that the scouts are a "tactical arm" of Planned Parenthood.

The Girl Scouts flatly denied Morris' accusations, and Planned Parenthood of Indiana issued a separate statement calling Morris' charges "woefully inaccurate."

"On the national level, inflammatory and generally inaccurate claims about a partnership between the Girl Scouts and Planned Parenthood have been promoted primarily by anti-choice lawmakers seeking to place pressure on organizations to disassociate or distance themselves from Planned Parenthood," Betty Cockrum, the chief executive of Planned Parenthood of Indiana, said in a statement.

Morris, in his letter to lawmakers, said some Christian conservatives who share his concerns have pulled their children out of Girl Scouts. He also pointed to a Colorado Girl Scout troop's acceptance of a transgender child last month as another reason to leave the group.

------------------------------------

Well, below starting at the second link, you will find why Mr. Morris thinks this way, and I believe him to be correct.

More Atheist Battles - And They Think They're Right.

 

 

 

 

 

My apologies for not writing last night. I usually try to put something up between 8 PM and Midnight, but unfortunately I was side tracked by battling atheists for six hours, responding to 185 posts on the Huffington Post.

 

 

 

The story involves a Cranston, RI case where an atheist high school student objected to a historical banner where God was invoked. Naturally, any thought of God offends the atheist because they hate being reminded that they will stand before Him one day to give an account of themselves.

 

 

 

I cannot blame the atheist for they have been duped or brainwashed into believing that there is no God by others who do not believe. This has been done through the infiltration of NO GOD thinking in our public schools, which were started by Christians to ensure that their children could read the Bible.

 

 

 

Benjamin Rush said, "I cannot but suspect that the present fashionable practice of rejecting the Bible from our schools has originated with Deists. And they discover great ingenuity in this new mode of attacking Christianity. If the proceed in it, they will do more in half a century in extirpating our religion than Bolingbroke or Voltaire could have effected in a thousand years."

 

 

 

Our Founding Fathers believed that Bible training should begin early in the life of a child. Benjamin Rush, the father of American public education, said that if we reject our children in learning the Bible in schools, then in half a century (50 years), Christianity would be totally destroyed. Prayer (and God) was removed from US public schools in 1963 -- 49 years ago, and we see the result today. Christianity is not destroyed, but it appears that two entire generations of Americans are accepting that there is no God, simply because some small minority demands that we not recognize the Almighty.

 

 

 

What I find fascinating is that many of them repeat the same old tired cliches and come up with the most outlandish claims. Why one guy actually claimed that Conservatives have been banning books for over 25 years. I usually don't ask, but I am often asked to provide "proof" of things. In this instance I asked, and was sent tow links with "sources." I looked into these "sources" and after viewing a handful of randomly selected links determined that these were not "book banners" as alleged, but organizations that take exception to the assault on American History. One example is Abraham Lincoln. Most history books today give Lincoln a mere paragraph, yet provide B.J. Clinton (his name is Bill Jefferson, isn't it?) with three full pages. I for one believe that Lincoln deserves more page time than B.J. don't you?

 

 

Another claim is how "In God We Trust" was added in 1956, but I have found photographic evidence of US coins dated in 1864 with the inscription. As a matter of fact, the last minted coin without the motto was minted in 1866, although some gold coins did not contain the motto. 

 

 

One thing is clear. The atheist has no intention of stopping his efforts to remove God from everything, yet cries VICTIM when one objects and points out historical facts. When will some of you idiot Christians begin to realize this and join the fight -- respectfully of course.

REPOST - Colorado student quits high school choir over Islamic song praising 'Allah'

Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/02/15/colorado-student-reportedly-quits-choir-over-islamic-song/?icid=maing-grid10%7Chtmlws-sb-bb%7Cdl2%7Csec3_lnk1%26pLid%3D136120#ixzz1mYEKpFQ9

A Colorado high school student says he quit the school choir after an Islamic song containing the lyric "there is no truth except Allah" made it into the repertoire.

James Harper, a senior at Grand Junction High School in Grand Junction, put his objection to singing "Zikr," a song written by Indian composer A.R. Rahman, in an email to Mesa County School District 51 officials. When the school stood by choir director Marcia Wieland's selection, Harper said, he quit.

"I don’t want to come across as a bigot or a racist, but I really don’t feel it is appropriate for students in a public high school to be singing an Islamic worship song,” Harper told KREX-TV. "This is worshipping another God, and even worshipping another prophet ... I think there would be a lot of outrage if we made a Muslim choir say Jesus Christ is the only truth."

But district spokesman Jeff Kirtland defended the decision to include the song. "Choral music is often devoted to religious themes. ... This is not a case where the school is endorsing or promoting any particular religion or other non-educational agenda. The song was chosen because its rhythms and other qualities would provide an opportunity to exhibit the musical talent and skills of the group in competition, not because of its religious message or lyrics," Kirtland told FoxNews.com in an email while noting that the choir "is a voluntary, after-school activity."

"Students are not required to participate, and receive no academic credit for doing so," he said.

At an upcoming concert, the choir is scheduled to sing an Irish folk song and an Christian song titled "Prayer of the Children," in addition to the song by Rahman.

"The teacher consulted with students and asked each of them to review an online performance of the selection with their parents before making the decision to perform the piece," Kirtland said, and members who object to the religious content of musical selections aren't required to sing them.

Rahman, who has sold hundreds of millions of records and is well-known in his homeland, has said the song is not intended for a worship ceremony. He told FoxNews.com in a written statement that the song, composed for the move "Bose, the Forgotten Hero," is about "self-healing and spirituality."

 

 

Rahman, who has sold hundreds of millions of records and is well-known in his homeland, has said the song is not intended for a worship ceremony. He told FoxNews.com in a written statement that the song, composed for the move "Bose, the Forgotten Hero," is about "self-healing and spirituality."

"It is unfortunate that the student in Colorado misinterpreted the intention of the song," Rahman said. "I have long celebrated the commonalities of humanity and try to share and receive things in this way. While I respect his decision for opting out, this incident is an example of why we need further cultural education through music.”

The song is written in Urdu, but one verse translates to "There is no truth except Allah" and "Allah is the only eternal and immortal." Although the choir sang the original version, Wieland distributed translated lyrics.

Grand Junction High School Principal Jon Bilbo referred questions to Kirtland.

FoxNews.com's Joshua Rhett Miller contributed to this story.

COMMENTARY:

One should notice how the school district officials are quick to defend the use of the song in this case. Thank God that it wasn't Christmas songs chosen to be played by the band at a performance as was done with the band of my Alma Mater, Columbia High School in Maplewood/South Orange, NJ a few years ago. You can obviously see how they don't tolerate the intolerant by actually being intolerant themselves.

 

 

In my town when schools have music programs, you will get a few "cultural" songs and the obligatory Jewish favorites, but you wont get anything Christmas, (even the secular songs). Why not? Why does society as represented by school and government officials so despise the Christian religion? Simple. Because Christianity claims that the only way to God is through Jesus Christ, and that scares them more than anything else. 

 

 

I just wonder why people who don't believe in God are always so interested in arguing with those who do. Honestly atheists. My job is to tell you that Jesus loves you and dies for you. You can either accept that or reject it. It's your choice and I have no interest in what you do or don't do. This is why we call it a personal decision.

 

Sick Verses? Really??

“Baby Thrower” - Gustav Viegeland - Vigeland Park - Oslo

As a result of a health issue, I have been unable to work at my "day job" since early October, 2011. I am on medication which regulates certain enzyme levels in the blood and I have discovered that one of the side effects reported was the loss of memory of words, and I have been experiencing this side effect. I know the words when speaking, but if you and I were having a conversation, I would come to a stop, say the word I think belongs, and then realize that it wasn't the right word, and have to search my "memory banks" to find the right word.

Because of this condition, I have been doing a lot of reading and research just to keep my mind sharp and focused, and I seem to be getting back to normal because of this activity. Sometime I find interesting things to look at but sometimes I come across some things that just don't make any sense.

I have discovered that atheists who do not believe in God spend a lot of time arguing why they don't believe in God, and have concluded that this is due to insecurity in their own "non" belief. Once source wisely observed that atheists while engaged in marital activities most likely shout out "Oh scientific method" and "Math." If you don't believe in an imaginary figure (as they put it) why waste one's time?

I have also discovered that some people post things on the Internet that are utterly untrue or are slanted in such a way that it would dissuade you from your own beliefs if your weren't paying attention. These people know just enough about the Bible to be dangerous. I'll give you one example below.

I came across a web site (just a page with no identifiers) called SICK BIBLE VERSES. Naturally, there was a plethora of ambiguities and erroneous assertions (see, big words, mind working) which covered just about everything negative in the Bible with the exception of nose picking which cannot be found there. It's funny how the anti-God people always seem to focus on negatives. I plan on ripping the entire page apart in the future, but right now let's focus on one specific example, that I picked out randomly and compared what was written, to what IS written in the pages of the Bible.

--- "SICK VERSES" said -----------

MORE BABY KILLING
“Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.” --Psalms 137:9
The book of Psalms is considered by many the most beautiful book of the bible, but for a frightening  flash of a second - invision (should be envision, but I'm not the expert like the author is) the above verse.

--- End of "SICK VERSES" quote ---------

I looked up Psalms 137:9 and the Bible does say what the "SICK" person posted. Indeed the verse says "Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.” So I do the next logical thing in seeking out the facts. I expand the passage to read it in context (but even out of context one can see the erroneous misinterpretation of the original 1611 English King James version of the Bible). English has changed, but I argue that it has not changed THAT much.


I found that I was correct in MY reading of the text, and not to drag this out too long, the modern interpretation of the KJV reads like this... "Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks." Obviously a mental disorder blocked the "SICK" person from understanding that this verse actually meant that an ENEMY was happy when they took YOUR infants and smashed them against the rocks and not that YOU were happy to smash YOUR OWN infants against the rocks. I think that would be considered a late term abortion, but don't quote me on that.

Okay, so now I do more and compare various translations of the verse and realize that I too seem to be in error. Okay, I blame the medication, remember? I had read the context with a flawed presumption. I realized that the Israelites were captives of the Babylonian Empire and that this Psalm (or song as they were sung) came from the perspective of a people who had their city destroyed and were carted off into captivity.

The context of Psalm 137 for this purpose begins at verse 7 and reads like this... [[ My remarks are in brackets]].

 ⁷Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof. [[Rase is now spelled razed means demolished or destroyed to the citys' foundation. This implies that the Israelites detest the Babylonians for this.]]
 
 ⁸O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. [[Obviously the implication is that when they overcome the captivity, that they should expect payback. At this point in human history, payback was not only expected, it was demanded.]]
 
 ⁹Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. [[The implication is that they will be happy (and in some translations even blessed) who takes and kills her little ones. I cannot refute the line, but if you consider that the army of Babylon was the "children" referenced, well it makes sense. Again, it's payback.]]

History records that the Babylonians allowed the Israelites to return to Judah, and that the Israelites did not engage in a war to escape captivity. The Babylonians by 4 royal decrees actually paid for the reconstruction of the Temple. One decree was postponed due to an investigation, but then reasserted by the Babylonian King, so in theory, while the captives yearned to escape and give the Babylonians a bloody nose, it did not actually work out that way, so no babies were harmed in the making of my post.

Obviously, when one actually sits down and does the actual research into the kook interpretations of the Bible, one can honestly disprove every allegation of the concept of an "Evil" God, but let us for the sake of argument assume that God is indeed evil. Would it not still make sense that if He created man, that he could do with man what He wished? While we can see that interpreting the Bible can be challenging especially when people , if one takes the time and does a little digging, it all comes together in a nice neat package. Sure, my original assessment was incorrect as well, but after the other facts came together I wasn't too far off. 

You Can't Make This Up (Nor Take It Out)

Today while reading the news of the day there was a news story about this effeminate young man who works for American Airlines who decided to dress up like a woman and post videos criticizing his employer, and was under threat of being fired for his activities.

Naturally with a story like this you get people that come out of the wood work and make the erroneous claims of free speech. This ignorance comes right out of US Public Education. We are not free to say what we wish. Free Speech protects you from retaliation if you are speaking against the government. It doesn't protect you from your employer, or if you decide to slander or libel someone.

People then begin to post replies, and when I see errors, I point them out.

"the Laws of Nature and of Nature's GOD"

"all men are CREATED equal"

"endowed by their CREATOR"

"appealing to the SUPREME JUDGE of the world"

"the protection of DIVINE Providence"

Sounds like I read it and actually looked at ALL of the words. Perhaps you should read the REAL Declaration instead of that Liberal abridged edition you obviously have."

Why do they even try?

POSTER 2 replies again!:

"Please note that at no time did the writers of the Declaratio­n of Independen­ce make reference to the God of Israel, or to Buddha or any other deity. They only acknowledg­ed that they do believe in a deity, and by making general reference, that others have other beliefs in who that deity is. At the time period, this was a tremendous leap from the norm. But whether you like it or not, the founding fathers were (most of them) a deeply religious people. They found it within themselves to admit that other people had different beliefs and tried to write a document that would include everyone. If you lack a belief in the divine, that's your choice. Tear a page from our forefather­'s book and stop stomping on the beliefs of others. "

I'm still scratching my head wondering what is trying to be conveyed to me.

NJ State Senate Passes Same Sex Marriage

The Bible tells us that the time will come (and I believe that it HAS come) when evil shall be considered good, and good shall be considered evil.

The New Jersey State Senate passed Same Sex Marriage, and now we await the actions of the State Assembly. If it passes there, then Governor Chris Christie has already indicated that he will, and properly so, veto the legislation.

The Democrats in Trenton did not dare bring this up when they controlled the Senate, Assembly and Governorship, and now they bring it up in an election year. Why? Perhaps they feared the voters. Hey! FEAR BOYS AND GIRLS! It is nothing but a political ploy, plain and simple and the Gay community should be incensed at that fact alone! The Democrats knew that the Governor would veto the legislation and all this is going to do is give the Democrats cover.

They will come out and tell the LGBT community how they tried, but that evil fat Governor of ours did them in. BULL! They knew it wouldn't go anywhere and they are playing all of us for fools.

The Senate thought this legislation was so important -- more important than high property taxes, high unemployment, crime, and everything else that they made it their number one priority. Well Mr and Miss NJ Politician, your days may be numbered.

One of the reasons we are told that Same Sex Marriage in the Garden State is necessary is because there are problems in the Civil Union law. Okay, FIX WHAT'S BROKEN IN THAT LAW!

It's not a difficult concept, even for Democrat politicians to understand.

I have asked a simple question on several occasions on a certain news site that allows replies, and instead of getting the usual "hate mail" my in box has been strangely silent. It's a simple question and I am still awaiting a reply.

"WHEN DOES IT END?" If Same Sex Marriage passes in NJ, will that be it, or can we expect more to be demanded? No one has the guts to answer this because I bet there will be more.

I can't wait for Mormons to start demanding polygamy to be legalized, or those wishing to marry family members, or even those "animal lovers" out there. What's next? Why won't any of you answer?!

What We Realy Need.

Air Force Removes "GOD" from Logo

The United States Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office (RCO), which is an acquisition office for the USAF recently removed the word GOD from it's logo. This was done due to pressure from an Atheist group who call themselves the Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers.

Are these Atheists so hard up that they attack something I consider stupid? Why is it stupid you ask, I'll tell you. This is the logo in it's original form.

The Latin words "OPUS DEI CUM PECUNIA ALLIENUM EFFICEMUS" is obviously a  play on words, or an inside joke because it basically says "Doing Gods' work with other peoples' money.

The new logo shown below, is reworded to "MIRACULI CUM PECUNIA ALLIENUM EFFICEMUS" which simply means "Doing Miracles with Other People's Money."

The problem is not the wording that is the issue, it's the military consistently bending over to more and more atheist demands. We demand that our military fight the world's most repressive regimes, yet they cannot seem to battle the godless?


Everytime I see a story like this, the kooks seem to come out of the wood work. Here is an example.

-----------------------------

A huffington Post user made this remark -

"I received a lot of response from my message on Christians letting Atheist trying to belittle them on our religion and what America stood for "In God We Trust" ,most of the comments appeared to come from atheist that don't work and spend there time trying to prove Christians wrong so if we stick together we will win this one. Proud To Be an American and able to worship My God !!!!!!!!!! "

-----------------------------

Naturally, a remark like that brings out the kooks, one which replied to him with this feat of brilliance and literary genious -

"You have the constituti­onal right to hang onto any superstiti­on you like or none at all. You exercised your right to hang onto the christian superstiti­on. I exercised my right to reject all superstiti­ons.

But for everyone to enjoy this "freedom OF superstiti­on", no one and no organizati­on can be allowed to impose their superstiti­ons on anyone else.

In our secular country, it is the duty of all levels of government­s and courts to ensure that everyone enjoys both "freedom OF and FROM superstiti­on".

Hence all references to any superstiti­on must stay out of government­s and that "god" thing must be removed from airplanes.

Imagine that some planes refer to the "Mercury retrograde­" or "7 virgins if this plane crashes" or "the Flying Spaghetti Monster" or "Invisible Pink Unicorns", ... I would join you in demanding that these things get removed from planes as well. "

-----------------------------

Being a Defender of the Faith and Guardian of the Realm, I had to let this idiot have it and replied to him thus -

"

You my friend other than being a schmuck, have provided a very valuable service. So why do you try to impose your idiotic shenanigans, chicanery, hi jinx, malarkey, blarney and tom foolery on us while complaining that we are doing that to you?

This is the mind set folks! The godless. Those who say "Don't force your religion down my throat" yet this clown just forced his warped perceptions and mentally distorted ascertains of ridiculous examples not just against religion, but specifically CHRISTIANITY. Why? Because they fear the truth and it scares the hell out of them!!

This clown is a paragon of Liberal tolerance and understanding, yet does not understand that the First Amendment prohibits CONGRESS... AND NO ONE ELSE! Hello?! I know that these concepts of reality and fact are difficult for Liberals to comprehend, but lay off the drugs and it may help a wee bit."

-----------------------------

You may ask why I am so mean to these people. Because they deserve it. The bottom line is that most Christians wouldn't take the time to reply, or will pray that God handles things like this, but in my view, this is wrong.

Christians are pushed around simply because we don't take action. Again, stop sitting there reading my stuff and saying that you wish you had a big mouth like me. Stand up for what you believe. You don't have to be 100% right. All you have to do is prove that you are not an idiot, and that you won't stand for those who are.

Join me in fighting the Liberal hordes! We shall design a new logo and use the words "QUID NON GARGARIZARE CUM NOVACULA LAMINIS?" which in english means "Why don't you gargle with razor blades?"

"Don't Call me a Monkey! I'm Slime!"

Sorry for not posting yesterday folks! I spent most of the day defending CREATION against the EVOLUTIONSTS, and made a few observations.

FIRST and foremost, they object to the claim they themselves made which said that we came from monkeys. How can this be? I seem to recall the "big trial" that allowed this to be taught was called the "SCOPES MONKEY TRIAL" in 1925, and is not the image immediately below this a popular representation of that view? The guy on the right looks like a man and the guy on the left looks like a MONKEY!



Then there is the "Primordial Slime" we supposedly came from before we were monkeys. Gee, all of a sudden THAT is offensive has been change to the "Primordial Soup." Okay, Well, the Bible in thousands of years hasn't changed, any of the words and says that "In the beginning, God created..." so which do you believe is right?

On February 5, 2012, Paul Wallace, a Science & religion teacher, and writer posted a blog on the Huffington Post titled "Why I teach Evolution in Church." (Link at bottom). If you don't believe my assertion that Liberalism has infiltrated the church, one needs to look at no other source than this.

Naturally, I post a reply and almost immediately was met with a barrage of replies supporting evolution and saying how backwards I was for believing in God. About six individuals "targeted" me for repeated challenges and this lasted almost two days. This to me looked like a pattern and I wondered if someone sent a memo out on how to attack those that don't agree with stupidity.

You mention the "watchmaker theory" and they go bonkers!

When you point out that you would rather believe in God, and that you were created in His image, and that was much better than believing that my ancestors were monkeys, you are called ignorant, and uninformed. Really? Well above you see the accepted monkey to man image. Let me ask you an honest question? Is that not a monkey on the left? And did not evolutionists create this image? I rest my case.

Then you being up primordial slime, which is how life supposedly began. Again I'm wrong. Isn't that what they teach in school? Well that has been changed to Primordial Soup. Well then, who the hell made the soup? This afternoon I made chicken soup from scratch. First time I ever did this. I took a large pot, mixed in chicken stock and water, added chicken bullion, a pinch of salt (I didn't know that the bullion had all the salt I needed), I peeled an onion and chopped it up. I peeled four potatoes and chopped them up. I took a stalk of celery and chopped that up. Cut up a whole lot of carrots, and added them to the stock. While I brought that to a boil and then simmer for two hours, I cut up six chicken breasts, and fried the pieces, and as they fried, I cooked up some rice to add to my mixture. Rice was added to the soup, and eventually the chicken was mixed in just to warm. It was a bit salty, but otherwise good. All that work, and we are supposed to believe that we came from some soup that no one put together and did all of the work I just outlined above? Sounds to me that those who believe in evolution need a heck of a lot more faith than I do.

I eventually made the following comment. "“Public Schools in the US were started by CHRISTIANS to ensure their children could read the BIBLE. That is historical fact my friend, but the Liberal/At­heist types didn't like that, and the "church" stepped aside.

That isn't happening anymore and little by little, the church is growing it's balls back, most evidenced by the Obama healthcare controversy going on now.”

Here is a reply I received. "Separation of church and state, my friend.

Teach whatever you want in religious schools and leave government schools alone.

And if you want to indoctrina­te your own children, you can do that at home and when you make them go to church. There are plenty of opportunit­ies in the private sphere to abuse their credulity.

But its interestin­g that you religious types can's simply leave it at that. You have to get the government involved to force your beliefs onto others.

You have no right and no authority to do that. The govenment should not be used to push your religious nonsense onto credulous children.

So, again, I don't see the problem. Get out of public schools."

Read that carefully. This is the thinking and mentality of the churchless and the left, which is the predominant make up of the opposition. Note the words INDOCRTINATE, ABUSE, and the pay line, "You have to get the government involved to force your beliefs onto others." Really?

Apparently this person has never heard of the ACLU, whi=o sues you when someone sneezes and you say "God Bless You."

If This was Obama's Face, Why Would This be Racist?

This image was taken from democratunderground.com this morning.
It was posted on that web site on August 5, 2005 at 11:14 am by some
dope who's handel is Octafish, and apparently the site considered it peachy.

I shall pose this question again...

If this was a depictition

of Barak Obama,

why would it be RACIST?

I am still awaiting a reply.

What went around in a "political" way then
SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO GO AROUND
now in a "political" way of course, EXCEPT
the word EVIL should be replaced with TRUTH. 

LGBT Demands. When Does it End?

When you talk to me about the LGBT agenda, I'm sorry and I may be judgmental but the impression I get is what is displayed in the photo above. I have to admit that I do not know the source of the photo since I could not back track it Facebook far enough to see where it came from, but the implication is that this person is clearly in a public place displaying his "coat hook" to little kids. I supposed that maybe heterosexual people want should demand from our public elected officials allow is to walk around showing our assets too. We should demand that special right that they get. This is so unfair!!! 

A few days ago, there was an article on the Huffington Post about pressure being placed on Starbucks Coffee regarding their stance on Same Sex Marriage, which is currently making it's way through the State legislature in Washington. The Huffington Post is a News and Opinion web site which is owned by AOL which is my Internet service provider. Starbucks is a business based in Seattle, Washington.

Several Christian Pastors have asked that Christians boycott Starbucks, and in their usual fashion, the people who are affectionately referred to as the "gay"stapo, or proponents of Same Sex Marriage come out of the woodwork and attacked them personally.

Well those who know me  know that I always chime in as necessary, and that usually my purpose is to challenge a view or to make you think about your view. After being attacked personally myself, I asked a simple question on the thread.

I stated plainly and clearly the following...

"“Okay, all kidding and sarcasm aside. Give me an honest answer to this question.

If Same Sex Marriage happens, what's next? Is the LGBT community satisfied and done or will there be more and more demands?

It's like no matter what you have, you demand more. In NJ for example, there are "Civil Unions." Apparently in a few areas there are problems with the CU law. Okay, fix that. Don't change the other. This is what I mean. They capitulate­d, and you're still not satisfied.

In most countries, you have two marriage ceremonies­. One at city hall, and the other at the church. In the US, the state and church act as one in cases of marriage. Doing it at one or the other are considered the same.

Remember now, first it was understand­ing that you wanted. Then acceptance­. Then the ability to rent an apartment, Then ... You get the gist. When is it "over?"

The reply I got was this...

“The problem with "civil unions" is approximat­ely 1138 federal civil rights and responsibi­lities associated with the marriage contract that aren't afforded with "civil unions" and the not-so-sma­ll matter that "separate but equal" never was equal.

You sound like the people who asked me when I was young what I, as a woman of color, was going to want next. It's always been really quite simple: Equal civil rights. Don't you find it ironic that your "the church" is less enmeshed in civil government in other nations than it is in the "Land of the Free"?

Your comments, serious or not, drip with theocratic beliefs and perspectiv­es. Are you aware just how much you share in common with the Ayatollahs­?”

End of reply.

First I take issue with the remarks against the church, and this is always a common theme with the homosexual community. Nowhere in my remark did I say that the church was against anything. I made no claim, and offered an example of how "marraiges" happen elsewhere. Out of that, we get that the church and I as a matter of fact "drip with theocratic beliefs and perspectiv­es" and the we are "Ayatollahs."

I hope not, because "Ayatollahs" would not tolerate them by speech, but would physically "take care of the problem," if you know what I mean. Can't say it because then I would be accused of being a bigot who promotes violence.

Does this have you scratching your head or what? My question of "When does it end" is never answered, and I get the name calling to boot.

As I stated in my comment, if the concept of the Civil Union is a problem, then the problems within that concept should be corrected, and not the taking of something to which you are not entitled, but still that would not be enough for them. They ask us to be tolerant of them, yet cannot tolerate our views.

When does it end? I would really like to know.
