TULSA, Okla. - He delivered his people from bondage and through 40 years in the wilderness. Now Moses has become a key part of a five-game baseball homestand. The Tulsa Drillers planned to hand out 1,500 Moses bobbleheads on Friday night. The bobblehead, complete with tablets representing the Ten Commandments, was part of a faith and family night sponsored by Oklahoma Wesleyan University and a Christian radio station. "The bobblehead craze is still out there," said Brian Carroll, spokesman for the Double-A ballclub. "We'll probably draw two kinds of people for the game, the Moses fans and the bobblehead collectors." The biblical bobblehead is a first for the ...

What the West Needs to Know An examination of Islam, violence, and the fate of the non-Muslim world. 98 mins Main Idea Virtually every major Western leader has over the past several years expressed the view that Islam is a peaceful religion and that those who commit violence in its name are fanatics who misinterpret its tenets. This claim, while widely circulated, rarely attracts serious public examination. Relying primarily on Islam’s own sources, this documentary demonstrates that Islam is a violent, expansionary ideology that seeks the destruction or subjugation of other faiths, cultures, and systems of government. Content The documentary consists of original interviews, ...

With 'Another Hitler' At The Helm This Independence Day, Look Back At The First One For Clues As To Who Really Controls Bush Although controversial publisher Jack Chick doesn't give out interviews anymore, his research and writing shouldn't be forgotten. 1 Jul 2006 By Greg Szymanski Book publisher Jack Chick doesn't give out many interviews anymore. In fact, trying to talk with him is quite difficult. Chick isn't hiding, but probably just tired of talking about the same old thing or tired of fighting the same old game of words against the powerful Vatican. He is also no spring chicken, getting on in years as they say. And it's quite understandable that he shuns the limelight after ...

Pope Benedict has decided to open all Vatican archives from 1922-1939. The Secret Archives should offer new insight into the Catholic Church's actions in Europe during the rise of Nazism. The Vatican said on Friday that it will open its central files, known as the Secret Archives, as well as files of its Secretariat of State for the 17-year papacy of Pius XI, who died in 1939. In a short announcement, it said the opening would "make available for historical research… all documentary sources until February 1939 that are stored in different series of the Archives of the Holy See." Pius XII's wartime papacy has been attacked by critics Parts of the archives can already ...
In Defense Of Pleasure

In Defense Of Pleasure by Michael J. Hurd (June 18, 2006) I read an interesting quote the other day, on a church front, which went something like this: "Those who actually seek out 'pleasure' rarely find it." This is a very appropriate slogan for an organization with a religious point of view. Religion, by its nature, teaches that pleasure cannot be this-worldly. It has to be found in selfless, supernatural pursuits only. What about pleasure on this earth? No matter. Such a thing is by its nature unhealthy, immoral and -- according to the implication of this quote -- impossible. The slogan is relying on a notion held by many nonreligious types as well: the premise that ...

Both families are asking relief from "state-sponsored religion." The behavior of the Indian River School District board (some of its members are ...

Deconstructing the Dominionists, Part II by MahanoyThu Jun 29, 2006 at 03:39:19 PM PDT Welcome to this second installment of my critical review of the recently published booklet America, Return to God, edited by Thomas Wang. What is at stake here are two very different understandings of the Bible, American history, and Christianity itself, specifically what it means to be a Christian in a cosmopolitan society. The Dominionists claim absolute validity and exclusivity for Christians, relegating adherents of any other religion to second-class status (or worse), they place the blame for America's failings and problems squarely at the feet of the political and social left, whom they regard as ...

June 27, 2006 Idiots of The Catholic Blogosphere Posted by Ryan W. McMaken at June 27, 2006 10:12 PM I've been killing a few minutes here and there lately visiting the Catholic blogosphere. I'm occasionally alarmed at what I find. I'm ashamed that this guy considers himself some kind of paragon of Catholic orthodoxy. The site is actually quite entertaining when discusing anything other than politics. Alas, when politics intervenes out comes the war-loving, baby-bombing, excuse-making, flag-waving paranoia of someone who has apparently confused the United States government with the Kingdom of Heaven. Since our dear leaders depend on blind hatred of Ay-rabs and Muslims, such people must ...

British Lords, Homeless Folks, and a Phoney Bible Charles E. Carlson – We Hold These Truths June 23, 2006 The State of Israel controls every gate into the Gaza Strip. One such gate called Rafah connects the tiny land with the Egyptian Sinai. But to get there you must cross a kilometer wide Israeli zone, and if you’re lucky enough to be allowed passage to Gaza it is with Israel’s permission; your passport shows you have entered Israel, not Palestine. Only yesterday two unnamed swimmers tried to bypass this checkpoint and were shot in the water by the crew of an Israeli Navy ship. But an even more strange right of passage is practiced inside America’s churches. For ...
Messianic tone of Superman is obvious and calculated

LOS ANGELES - As one of society's most enduring pop-culture icons, Superman has often been observed as more than just a man in tights. And as the hype machine shifts into high gear for the upcoming release of Superman Returns, some are reading deeply into the film whose hero returns from a deathlike absence to play savior to the world. ADVERTISEMENT "It is so on the nose that anyone who has not caught on that Superman is a Christ figure, you think, 'Who else could it be referring to?' " said Stephen Skelton, who wrote a book examining parallels between Superman and Christ. In his early 1930s comic-book incarnation, Superman was a hero of the New Deal, aiding the destitute and ...

Happy solstice, hippy! It's the longest day of the year -- except for the southern half of Earth, where it's the shortest day of the year. June 21 is Solstice, marking the official beginning of summer for the Northern Hemisphere. The sun appears to stand still today as the top half of the Earth is tilted at its farthest point in the sun's direction. Solstice is from the Latin sol stitum, or "sun stopped." While hippies and other "neo-pagans" are about the only people in the United States who still mark the summer solstice, the day used to be an important festival back when people grew their own food and spent most of their time outdoors. While most Americans don't ...

Practitioners and curiosity-seekers alike gather and participate in various ceremonies. This year, the observance of St. John's Day is more important than ever.

WAS THOMAS JEFFERSON A DEIST?

History revisionist and professor of constitutional law at Faulkner University, John Eidsmoe, of Alabama, recently submitted a letter to the editor of the Montgomery Advertiser [Aug. 30, 1998] and challenged readers to produce an authentic statement from Thomas Jefferson in which he claimed to be a Deist. While it must be admitted that the words "I am a Deist" are not recorded, the allegation is: "it was mentioned that you was a Deist" (Papers of Thomas Jefferson, 27:39). Dumas Malone says the charge most often made against Jefferson was atheist: "it was not only made in the public press, it was hurled from pulpits in various places, most of all probably in ...

The Pagan Libertarian Connection by Kathryn A. Graham kate@devtex.net Exclusive to TLE Being a Pagan and a libertarian does make for interesting conversations with new acquaintances.

"And a Second Amendment activist?" the person will ask. "I've read some of your articles." That's encouraging, I think to myself. Maybe I'm reaching somebody. "Very much so," I agree aloud.

The wine in the chalice By John Kaminski – June 23 skylax@comcast.net The Mindlock, Part 6 Sunday morning. Sunlight streams through stained glass. Your knees hurt against the thin carpet of the altar as you contemplate the wine in the chalice as it edges slowly toward you along a line of kneeling worshippers. Finally, the Episcopal priest reaches you, and you savor the sweet burgundy that helps you pry that paper thin wafer off the roof of your mouth. Ah, the blood and body of the savior. Sunday morning coming down. Praise God. Christianity is founded on the twin principles of cannibalism and child sacrifice, on Hebrew hallucinations (according to Freud) of a burning bush, and a ...

Needed: A New Policy On Islam BY PATRICK J. BUCHANAN 06/23/06 "WorldNet" -- -- In 1938, the year of Anschluss and Munich, a perceptive British Catholic looked beyond the continent over which war clouds hung and saw another cloud forming. "It has always seemed to me ... probable," wrote Hilaire Belloc, "that there would be a resurrection of Islam and that our sons or our grandsons would see the renewal of that tremendous struggle between the Christian culture and what has been for more than a thousand years its greatest opponent." Belloc was prophetic. Even as Christianity seems to be dying in Europe, Islam is rising to shake the 21st century as it did so ...

'End Times' Religious Groups Want Apocalypse Soon

'End times' religious groups want apocalypse sooner than later, and they're relying on high tech -- and red heifers -- to hasten its arrival. For thousands of years, prophets have predicted the end of the world. Today, various religious groups, using the latest technology, are trying to hasten it. Their endgame is to speed the promised arrival of a messiah. For some Christians this means laying the groundwork for Armageddon. With that goal in mind, mega-church pastors recently met in Inglewood to polish strategies for using global communications and aircraft to transport missionaries to fulfill the Great Commission: to make every person on Earth aware of Jesus' message. Doing so, they ...

"Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you." -- Maori proverb Summer Solstice falls at the precise moment when the Sun's power is at its zenith. It is the time of year when the noon sun appears to be farthest north from the celestial equator. "Solstice" is Latin for "sun stands still" (sol "sun" and sistere "to stand"). Summer Solstice is so named because to the naked eye the sun appears stationary in its northern and southern progression. The sun is directly over the tropic of Cancer at the summer solstice, at which time the sun is 23¡27' north. The sun travels 23.5 degrees to reach its maximum distance from the ...
The Beginning of Time, Religion, and the Agricultural Revolution

Most historians agree that human history began approximately nine thousand years ago with the Neolithic agricultural revolution. It was at this time that the first cities were built. It was at this time that agriculture began to be used extensively, originating in ancient Mesopotamia. Agriculture spread from there to the rest of the world, triggering a population explosion that continues today. It was also at this time that major changes began to emerge in the religious beliefs of the people. Writing was invented and soon after, laws. Only a hundred years ago, however, history meant “British history” to most people and included only between fifteen hundred and eight hundred ...
