Rock Music's Satanic Message October 28, 2006 By Henry Makow Ph.D. Recently NBC Dateline had a story about two average American teenagers who murdered and cut up a friend, put the body parts in a garbage bag and hid it in a drain sewer. (Dateline Videos "It began as a Teen Drama") The announcer, the parents and the audience shook their heads and asked: "How could they do this?" I was dumbfounded too. After watching a ten-hour 4-DVD presentation on the Satanic agenda infusing much youth music, I have the answer. Incredible and bizarre as it sounds, the younger generation is being inducted into Satanism. It is being taught to murder, rape and hate society in general, ...

Expanding Tridentine Mass use threatens unity, French Catholic bishops say 10/31/2006 Catholic News Service METZ, France (CNS) – The possibility of a papal indult expanding permission to use the Tridentine Mass and the recent establishment of a traditionalist religious community in France threatens the unity of the church, said a statement from 10 French bishops. An Oct. 30 statement said the bishops from the Archdioceses of Besancon and Strasbourg and the Diocese of Metz expressed "their concerns" over wider use of the Tridentine Mass, the pre-Vatican II rite favored by traditionalist groups. The old rite is celebrated in Latin and follows the Roman Missal of 1962, which ...

Raising Pagan Children, Scary By Sharon Hughes http://MichNews.com Oct 31, 2006 This Halloween, what’s your choice for the scariest - out of control parents or crazy dictators? A few week’s ago we watched as out-of-control heads of state came to deliver their 'evils of America and President Bush' addresses to the UN, and even invited to do the same in our colleges and churches. Most Americans were irate at the gull of Hugo Chavez, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Evo Morales to do such a thing, and on American soil, at that! While this was going on the San Francisco Chronicle continued to report, extensively, on the "Burning Man" which is held in the deserts of Nevada each ...

Glorification of War from the Hagee Stage Scotland on Sunday Oct 31, 2006 CHRIS STEPHEN IN SAN ANTONIO THE lights were down in the giant amphitheatre of Cornerstone Church, Texas, as last weekend's Feast of the Tabernacles got into full swing. An orchestra, backed by a several hundred-strong choir, is belting out biblical hymns. Centre stage, two camouflaged figures embrace, one dressed as an Israeli soldier complete with machine gun, the other his US army counterpart. George Bush may be facing defeat in the upcoming mid-term elections from an electorate alarmed by Middle East wars and ballooning federal spending, but one corner of the country remains firmly behind him - the Christian ...
Flying Saucers From Hell

From FT 211 June 2006 Flying Saucers From Hell Ufology often seems to come down to a choice between extraterrestrial visitors and some as yet unknown natural phenomenon but, as Dr David Clarke reveals, a now largely forgotten counter-theory was of infiltration by demons from the fiery pits of Hades. Illustration by Mick Brownfield. "You’d better pray to the Lord when you see those flying saucers It may be the coming of the judgement day…" – Charles Green & Cy Cohen, "When You See Those Flying Saucers" – Oct 1947. Since the 1950s, the dominant, and certainly the most popular, hypothesis in ufological and public discourse has been that ...

The atheist as fundamentalist Q&A | Richard Dawkins On Why Religious Faith Tends To Create More Evil People Than, Say, Stalinism Oct. 29, 2006. 01:00 AM OLIVIA WARD TORONTO STAR Richard Dawkins is the enfant terrible of atheism, a scientist whose best-selling first book, The Selfish Gene, argued a genetic basis for Darwin's theory of evolution, and who went on to challenge theories of creationism that have gained traction in the last decade. Currently a professor of Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University, he has just completed a documentary series on the role of religion in modern history. Here he talks about his latest book, The God Delusion (Houghton Mifflin), which ...

THE THREAT OF DIALECTICAL TERRORISM By Niki Raapana October 15, 2006 http://NewsWithViews.com The biggest threat to the United States of America in the 21st century is dialectical terrorism. Dialectics is an ancient philosophy of circular, academic arguments between scholars with extremely different opinions, ideas, theories, and religions. The final goal of dialectical terrorism is national transformation into a quasi-religious one-world government, based in a dialectical synthesis called communitarianism. The logic of dialectical philosophy has remained above the reach of the common man since the beginning of recorded human history. There are two levels of dialectical reasoning. The ...
For Wiccan followers, Halloween is sacred time

For some, Halloween -- with roots going back to ancient harvest rituals -- runs deeper than bobbing for apples and carving pumpkins.For those practicing the Wicca religion, Halloween is one of eight holy days throughout the year and is known as Samhain. "It's the third in a triad of harvest festivals. Preparing for winter and the dark months ahead," said Adam Holtzinger, owner of the Sacred Earth store in downtown Antioch. It is also a time of remembering ancestors and lighting a candle for them, he said. Holtzinger has been practicing Wicca most of his life. Technically, males following Wiccan practices are known as Wicca; females are known as Wicce. Holtzinger likes to keep ...

Sweeney is an atheist, something she brought to light in a one-woman show entitled Letting Go of God. In it, she discusses her Irish Catholic upbringing, early religious ideology, and the life events and internal search that led her to the realization that the universe works fine without a God in charge of it. She began performing the show live in Los Angeles. In May 2006, she performed the piece in Seattle, Washington, at the Paramount Theater. The Austin show was followed by a half-hour discussion between Sweeney and Ira Glass (host of This American Life). An excerpt of the show subsequently appeared on This American Life in an episode entitled Godless America. In 2006, Sweeney was ...
War Support Among Evangelicals Collapses Bush - Incompetence Said to Delay Second Coming

In the past 30 days, support for the Iraq War among white evangelicals has fallen from 70 percent to 58 percent. These numbers matter because evangelicals are a quarter of the people who actually bother to vote, and 78 percent of them voted Republican 2 years ago. Only 58 percent say they are satisfied with the party now, and Iraq and the Foley scandal are driving the discontent. Of course, evangelicals like other Americans are seeing articles like this one in which Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki blames the US military for things going wrong in Iraq, denies that he has accepted the benchmarks set by the US ambassador, maintains he could do a better job with his own army if the US ...

Rabbi Discovers Boy Incorrectly Circumcised when Piercing Boy's Phallus; Orders the Boy to Be Recircumcised(Honest Media Today) In an instance illustrating how truly bizarre and depraved the Jewish religion is, a child was ordered to be re-circumcised just days prior to his bar mitzvah.The boy's phallus was discovered not to have been properly circumcised when, according to the Australian Sydney Morning Herald, Rabbi Moshe Gutnick noted that he had "prepared to take a drop of blood from the boy's penis to symbolize his Orthodox conversion."In this bizarre custom of bar mitzvah, it is believed that Jews then use this drop of blood from the boy's phallus in their religious rites, ...

The cross from the altar area of the chapel at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Va., has been removed to ensure the space is seen as a nondenominational area, explains Melissa Engimann, assistant director for Historic Campus. "In order to make the Wren Chapel less of a faith-specific space, and to make it more welcoming to students, faculty, staff and visitors of all faiths, the cross has been removed from the altar area," Engimann announced in an e-mail to staff. The cross will be returned to the altar for those who wish to use it for events, services or private prayer. The cross was in place because of the college's former association with the Anglican ...

An address at the National Prayer Breakfast (Sponsored by the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives) February 3, 1994 On the last day, Jesus will say to those on His right hand, "Come, enter the Kingdom. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was sick and you visited me." Then Jesus will turn to those on His left hand and say, "Depart from me because I was hungry and you did not feed me, I was thirsty and you did not give me to drink, I was sick and you did not visit me." These will ask Him, "When did we see You hungry, or thirsty or sick and did not come to Your help?" And Jesus will answer them, "Whatever you ...

Most Americans don't believe Satan is real. Is that his tactic? Pantagraph photo illustration/DAVID PROEBER In art and most media, Satan is a vicious creature, usually red with pointed ears or horns, and sometimes with a bifurcated tail. In the Bible, Satan is represented as a serpent and a dragon but also as a more alluring, less fear-inducing seducer. In 2 Corinthians, a book attributed to the Apostle Paul, the writer warns that "for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore, it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds." This time of year, likenesses of Satan and ...

'Christian' Zionists Unleash Murder Epic Report; Posted on: 2006-10-21 17:37:50 Omar Sharif stars in Jewish hate fable P. Murphy for V-News The Christian Zionist Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), a televanglelist powerhouse peddling faith cures, racial mixing and Christian support for Israel, has released One Night With The King, a film adaptation of the Book of Esther. The downmarket would-be Cecil B. DeMille-style epic stars Omar Sharif -- a Christian Copt who reportedly renounced Christ and converted to Islam -- in a reworking of one of the most unpleasant folktales ever recorded. The Book of Esther recounts a Jewish revenge fantasy placed atop a non-Jewish fable (the name of the ...

Najaf, Iraq — Twice a week, the large delivery truck from Baghdad rolls into the vast cemetery in this holy Shiite Muslim city. A bus follows, bearing wooden caskets on its roof.
Half a mile beyond the cemetery gates, at the edge of the desert, the passengers get out of the bus and set to work unloading the truck's grim cargo. On an average day, there will be 70 to 100 bodies, victims of the sectarian bloodletting that has gripped Iraq.

Endel Kallas: Spirituality "On This Side of the Atlantic" according to Alexis de Tocqueville A century and a half ago a French visitor to America observed religious trends which split American Christianity from European and still continue to influence it today. Reverend Kallas received his Ph.D. from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California, and currently serves as pastor, with his spouse, Nancy, at Grace Lutheran Church in Santa Barbara. WITHIN days of his arrival in America, Alexis de Tocqueville, a French Roman Catholic of aristocratic birth and barely twenty-six years old, quickly recognized critical differences between the ...

WERE EVANGELICALS PLAYED FOR SUCKERS? By Pastor Chuck Baldwin October 17, 2006http://NewsWithViews.com No president in American history played the "God card" any better than George W. Bush. Early in his 2000 presidential campaign, Bush convinced fundamentalist/evangelical Christian leaders that he was "their" man. Those Christian leaders went on to promote and support Mr. Bush to the tune of two successful presidential election victories. To this day, they comprise his most loyal base of support. But was it all a sham? Did G.W. Bush and Karl Rove simply dupe the Religious Right? A Bush insider now says that is exactly what happened: GOP strategists played evangelical ...

God’s Terrible Law that Judeo-Christians Break Charles E. Carlson Oct 14, 2006 What if there does happen to be a God, and what if He did give us a Book containing His words guided by His ever-present spirit to be used as a life guide? Then what could be more vile in His sight than for His very words to be changed in order to justify evil acts? Celebrity Christians accept, and loudly proclaim that the Bible contains the spirit led words of God, but they freely alter the words to make it conform to their own interests. So flagrant are these abuses that I wonder if they believe the words, or if they even believe in the God they proclaim so loudly... maybe they think they are also gods ...
Christians in the Crossfire, Pro-war evangelicals have made exiles-and martys-of Iraqi believers

Christians in the Crossfire Pro-war evangelicals have made exiles—and martyrs—of Iraqi believers. by Doug Bandow The killing in Iraq continues, and support for the occupation is waning even among Christian conservatives. It would likely fall further if they were aware of what Fred Markert, director of Terra Nova missions, calls the “horrible, horrible climate for Christians in Iraq.” Before the invasion, Christians argued over the criteria of a just war. But Richard Mouw, president of Fuller Theological Seminary, asked another question: had war supporters “thought about their obligation to the Christian community in Iraq?” Most leading evangelicals ...

"You Shall Not Kill" Has No Meaning In The Real World Of Religion By Dennis Diehl One of the shortest and most simple of the Ten Commandments is "You shall not kill." Pretty simple. "You shall not kill." Any questions? Well of course there are questions. Even Dirty Harry said "some people need killin'." Killing is what the religions of "the Book" do best when push comes to shove. Both say "You shall not kill," and yet both kill, often and with great enthusiasm at times. Actually all religions that have exclusive ownership of the Deity's truth are killers when they run out of ideas of just how to logically explain the Good News ...
Pluck of the Amish

School-shooting incidents seem to come in threes for some reason, and a tragic week in late September/early October saw that deadly triumvirate rear its ugly head once again at schools in Colorado, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Amid the ugliness of bloodshed and fear, as always, the bright lines of faithful witness seem to stand out all the more brilliantly. At Columbine in 1999, there were reports of shared prayer under fire and a high school girl's refusal to renounce her faith at gunpoint. More recently, after a gunman killed several girls and himself in a one-room Amish schoolhouse in Bart Township, Pa., it was the simple yet resilient faith of the Amish community in the face of ...

THE BATTLE: CHRISTIANITY V SORCERY Archimandrite Cyprian October 2, 1976 THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, which began with the presumption of imagining itself the most enlightened of all ages, has in reality proceeded of imagining some of the blackest years of all human history. Symptomatic of this truly dark age is the revival in recent decades of interest and active participation in witchcraft and sorcery. Much of this interest is on the level of dilettantism and crude amateurism, but more and more often it produces real results, leads to an actual contact with demonic powers, and causes the eternal damnation of souls caught in the web of nets far more subtle and deadly than the beginning ...
