Wednesday, October 29, 2008Why Would Google Want YouTube? To someone unfamiliar with the difficulties of making money online, YouTube might seem like a mega-millionaire cash cow that spits out millions of dollars everyday. The reality is, that for a company the size of Google, it just isn’t. Google was started by Larry Page, an American Jew, and Sergey Brin, a Russian Jew. Their company acquired YouTube for 1.65 Billion dollars in October of 2006 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15196982/. At the time of acquisition, YouTube was only worth a meager 15 Million. Versus the $1,650,000,000 paid, we’re looking at over one-hundred times the website’s worth. We could imagine, like the ...

Firm will remove Bible references from gun sights By RICHARD LARDNER, AP A Michigan defense contractor will voluntarily stop stamping references to Bible verses on combat rifle sights made for the U.S. military, a major buyer of the company's gear. In a statement released Thursday, Trijicon of Wixom, Mich., says it is also providing to the armed forces free of charge modification kits to remove the Scripture citations from the telescoping sights already in use. Through multimillion dollar contracts, the Marine Corps and Army have bought more than 300,000 Trijicon sights. The references to Bible passages raised concerns that the citations break a government rule that bars ...

44 failed & 1 ambiguous end-of-the-world predictions between 30 and 1920 CE Some Christians and secular individuals predicted several momentous events that they believed are related: The second coming of Jesus Christ, when he returns to earth after almost two millennia. The war of Armageddon -- a massive battle in Israel. The arrival on earth of the Antichrist, an evil political, military leader. The Tribulation, a seven year interval of great suffering and death. The Rapture, when Christians who have been born again -- both living and dead -- will rise into the sky towards Jesus. Some horrendous natural disaster. etc. It is worth noting that all of the following predictions have ...

Robert E. Lee (January 19, 1807- October 12, 1870) No finer example of a Southern gentleman and leader exists whose positive impact was so great during and after the War. His superb character as a Christian gentleman stood out in his life as a man, husband, father, citizen, soldier, and a leader. These qualities greatly impressed such notable men as Winston Churchill and Theodore Roosevelt. Fortunately General Lee left a wealth of sayings and personal wisdom of which only a fraction is present here in this educational sheet. LEE AS OTHERS SAW HIM: President Theodore Roosevelt described General Robert E. Lee as "the very greatest of all the great captains that the English-speaking ...

Coded references to New Testament Bible passages about Jesus Christ are inscribed on high-powered rifle sights provided to the United States military by a Michigan company, an ABC News investigation has found. The sights are used by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the training of Iraqi and Afghan soldiers. The maker of the sights, Trijicon, has a $660 million multi-year contract to provide up to 800,000 sights to the Marine Corps, and additional contracts to provide sights to the U.S. Army. U.S. military rules specifically prohibit the proselytizing of any religion in Iraq or Afghanistan and were drawn up in order to prevent criticism that the U.S. was embarked on a religious ...

Pope affirms great respect between Catholics, Jews

Pope Benedict XVI on Sunday acknowledged problems between Catholic and Jews, but insisted there was "great respect" between the two religions, hours before a controversial visit to a Rome synagogue. The visit has divided Jewish groups because of Benedict's praise and push toward sainthood of wartime pontiff Pius XII, who some critics contend didn't do enough to save Jews during the Holocaust. The Vatican defends Pius, maintaining he used behind-the-scenes diplomacy in a bid to save Jewish lives. Several prominent Jews have said they will boycott the visit. In his weekly noon appearance to pilgrims and tourists in St. Peter's Square, Benedict predicted that his visit ...

Why Don't Faith-Based Americans Care About Economics? Austin Hill Sunday, January 17, 2010 “…I only care about the moral issues…” Have you ever heard this line before? I heard it repeatedly on my radio talk show during the 2008 election cycle. Back then the Obama and McCain presidential candidacies were daily topics of conversation. And no matter what the issue was on any given day, there were those talk show callers who would make comments about Barack Obama’s enthusiasm for abortion and homosexual “civil unions,” or question John McCain’s “pro life” credentials. In response, I would guide the conversation back to non-abortion and ...

The Case for Catastrophic Agnosticism David R. Stokes Sunday, January 17, 2010 Here we go again. While the world watches unspeakable horror unfolding in the wake of the beyond-words tragedy in Haiti, and as millions of people sift through the rumble searching for their loved ones and lives, the predictable idiocy of self-anointed neo-prophets is ever present to tell us exactly why God “did” this. As a minister of the gospel (now in my 33rd year) I am deeply offended each and every time some big giant talking theological T.V. head weighs in and speaks for God as some kind of insider heavenly hedge fund trader. Of course, you know what I am talking about, right? The other night, ...

SPRINGFIELD, Va., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- With Congress addressing the question of abortion funding in the recent health care bills and some Catholic Bishops recently reaffirming the denial of communion to Pro-Choice legislators such as Congressman Patrick Kennedy, the debate over legal abortion has once again been brought to the forefront of public consciousness. In his new book, "Is Being Pro-Choice a Sin?" (published by iUniverse), author, retired lawyer and pro-choice Catholic Leonard Belter presents scientific, practical, and religious-based arguments challenging the Catholic Church's demand that Catholics must oppose legalized abortion. "Is Being Pro-Choice a ...

If You Can Find a Better Deal, Take It! Ann Coulter Wednesday, January 06, 2010 Someone mentioned Christianity on television recently and liberals reacted with their usual howls of rage and blinking incomprehension. On a Fox News panel discussing Tiger Woods, Brit Hume said, perfectly accurately: "The extent to which he can recover, it seems to me, depends on his faith. He is said to be a Buddhist. I don't think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So, my message to Tiger would be, 'Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world." Hume's words, ...

After Imam Foad Farahi refused to become a federal informant, the government tried to destroy him. Bush-Cheney and Kerry-Edwards signs littered the lawns as Imam Foad Farahi walked from a mosque to his North Miami Beach, Fla., apartment a few blocks away. It was November 1, 2004, the day before George W. Bush would win a second term in office. But Farahi, an influential South Florida Muslim holy man, had been too busy fasting and praying to pay much attention to the presidential election. For Farahi, an Iranian citizen who had lived in the United States for more than a decade, it was simply another month of Ramadan in Florida. Then, around 5 p.m., as he neared his apartment, he saw two ...

A Somali man has been charged with trying to kill a Danish artist whose drawing of the Prophet Mohammed sparked riots around the world. The suspect, who was shot by police outside cartoonist Kurt Westergaard's home in the city of Aarhus on Friday, was carried into court on a stretcher. Police say he broke into the house armed with an axe and a knife. The suspect, who denies the charge, was remanded in custody. Police say he has links with Somali Islamist militants. The radical al-Shabab group in Somalia hailed the attack. Al-Shabab spokesman Sheikh Ali Muhamud Rage told AFP news agency: "We appreciate the incident in which a Muslim Somali boy attacked the devil who abused our ...
Pope ends year as he began it -- with apology to Jews

Pope Benedict XVI ended 2009 much as he began it -- with a major gaffe that angered Jews. He started the year by welcoming a Holocaust-denying bishop back into the fold, and ended it by putting the controversial World War II-era Pope Pius XII one step closer to sainthood. Both caused uproars. "It seems that the pope doesn't always know what's going out under his name, or the impact of what's going out under his name, which is very strange to observe because John Paul II was so media-savvy," said Ruth Ellen Gruber, a Jewish journalist and author who has long been based in Rome. The Pius XII episode "seems to be yet again a case where they didn't estimate ...

Former Lesbian Couple Battles Over Child Custody Written by Rebecca Terrell Thursday, 31 December 2009 01:00 A seven-year-old girl stands in the crosshairs of a bizarre custody battle between former lesbian domestic partners Lisa Miller and Janet Jenkins. The Wall Street Journal reports that Miller is the child's biological mother and conceived her by artificial insemination while living with Jenkins in Vermont, where they were joined in a civil union in 2001. Miller became a Christian in 2003, renounced the homosexual lifestyle, and moved to Virginia with her then-infant daughter, Isabella Miller-Jenkins. Jenkins sued for unsupervised visitation, which Vermont Judge William Cohen ...

'Avatar' and the Faith Instinct Jonah Goldberg Wednesday, December 30, 2009 You probably don't need a long synopsis of James Cameron's half-billion-dollar epic "Avatar," in part because even if you haven't seen it, you've seen it. As many reviewers have noted, Cameron rips off Hollywood cliches to the point you could cut and paste dialogue from "Pocahontas" or "Dances With Wolves" into "Avatar" without appreciably changing the story. In short, "Avatar" tells the tale of a disabled Marine, Jake Sully, who occupies the body of a 10-foot-tall alien so he can live among the mystical forest denizens of the moon world ...
Moldovan Christians tear down public Menorah and placed a Cross instead

Religious scandal at Chisinau/Kishinev after a group of almost 100 devoted Orthodox Christians lead by their priest teared up a Jewish Menorah on the day of Hanukkah. The Menorah was placed right next to the Stephen III of Moldavia statue (better known as Stephen the Great) Friday on December 11 by “representatives” of the Jewish community from the Moldovan Republic for Hanukkah celebration. The Christians pulled the Menorah and placed a Christian cross instead of it. “Placing a Jewish symbol next to the statue of Stephen the Great is an offense” said one of the leaders of the protest. “We are Orthodox Christians, we are a nation of Christians and Stephen the ...

How I Keep Insanely Sane in the Culture Clash Doug Giles Saturday, December 26, 2009 Solomon states in Ecclesiastes 9:7-10 that one of the keys to surviving the brutalities of life is to relax . . . chill . . . drink some wine . . . recreate . . . and have a good laugh. According to some scholars, Solomon didn’t say that at the beginning of his prodigal period when he went off the rails on a crazy train with the idols and the hookers and stuff. No, he offered this advice at the end of his life when he had already experienced massive highs and debasing lows. It was after he had penned the Proverbs, written the Song of Songs, departed from God and had come back to reality that he ...

Mehmet Ali Agca, linked with "various Western intelligence services", wants to meet Pope Benedict XVI Mehmet Ali Agca, who shot Pope John Paul II four times in St. Peter's Square on May 13, 1981, is eligible for release next month, January 2010. Agca was originally sentenced to life in prison for the shooting, but was pardoned in June 2000 by Italian president Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, with the Pope's blessings. Pope John Paul II had met with Agca in prison on Dec. 27, 1983 and forgave him. Agca spent 19 years and one month in the Italian prison. At the time of his release, Vatican spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls told RAI television "regarding the truth of what happened ...

Pak court rejects asylum petition for 5 American Muslims

LAHORE: A Pakistani court today dismissed a petition seeking asylum in the name of 'holy war' for five American Muslim youths recently arrested in the country for allegedly planning terror attacks, saying that it was not the duty of the judiciary to define 'jihad'. The Lahore High Court dismissed the petition filed by Khalid Khwaja, a former Inter-Services Intelligence official now associated with a rights organisation. In his petition, Khwaja had contended that the youths came to Pakistan for 'jihad' (holy war) and since this was not a crime, their detention is illegal. Lahore High Court Chief Justice Khwaja Mohammad Sharif, who heard the petition, observed that ...
