Suddenly, we are told, the man from Hope is blitzing up the Iowa polls. No, not the Arkansas slime ball and rapist, not Bill Clinton; the other man from Hope, Mike Huckabee. Hope is a town that, man for man, probably produces more candidates for President than any other. If all this new support for Huckabee is real, where is it coming from? It is coming from the Religious Right. Huckabee after all is a Baptist preacher. Some Ron Paul people lament the fact that the Religious Right does not support him. After all, doesn’t Ron support what they do? Isn’t Dr. No the foremost candidate for President in either party who advocates the restoration of constitutional liberty, getting the ...

Call For Jews To Stop Calling Jesus A Bastard By Ben Martin 06/10/2007 A senior American cardinal has asked Jews to reconsider descriptions of Jesus as a "bastard" in exchange for a softening of traditional Catholic prayers calling for Jews to be converted to Christianity. The controversial comments, by Cardinal Francis George of the Archdiocese of Chicago, concern a prayer said during Easter celebrations by the small number of parishes or priests who celebrate a particular form of Good Friday mass. Those version of Good Friday prayers calls for the congregation to pray for Jews to be converted to Christianity. But Cardinal George said this prayer should be amended to ensure it ...

America's Armageddonites For the Armageddonites there are no waiting virgins, but they do agree with Muslims that there will be 'no booze, no bars,' in the words of a popular Gaither Singers song. End-timers have great influence over the US government's foreign policy Wednesday, November 28, 2007 By Jon Basil Utley Utopian fantasies have long transfixed the human race. Yet today a much rarer fantasy has become popular in the United States. Millions of Americans, the richest people in history, have a death wish. They are the new “Armageddonites,” fundamentalist evangelicals who have moved from forecasting Armageddon to actually trying to bring it about. Most ...

A 14-year-old New Zealand girl nearly lost her eyesight when her eyes were gouged by relatives in a Maori exorcism ceremony in which her cousin died, a report said Monday. The girl is recovering after emergency operations on her eyes to save her sight after relatives scratched at her eyes to remove the devil, the Dominion Post newspaper said, quoting unnamed sources. Members of the indigenous Maori family also syringed water into her eyes and poured it down her throat in an attempt to drive out the curse. The girl's cousin, 22-year-old Janet Moses, drowned during the October 12 ceremony, which reportedly left the house ankle deep in water. The ceremony was reportedly held to remove ...

TULSA, Okla. - The president of Oral Roberts University, facing accusations he misspent school funds to support a lavish lifestyle, resigned on Friday, officials said. Richard Roberts' resignation is effective immediately, according to a statement e-mailed from George Pearsons, chairman of the school's Board of Regents. Roberts and the evangelical university have come under fire since three former professors sued last month, alleging wrongful termination. The lawsuit includes allegations of a $39,000 shopping tab at one store for Richard Roberts' wife, Lindsay, a $29,411 Bahamas senior trip on the university jet for one of Roberts' daughters, and a stable of horses for ...

Republicans, Christians and the All-American Politics of Adultery The Scarlet Hypocrites By DAVID ROSEN Christian conservative leader Pat Robertson recently endorsed Rudy Giuliani's presidential candidacy. The announcement gained media attention and provoked considerable commentary, but quickly dissipated as Giuliani's protégé in strong-arm deception, Bernie Kerik, faced a 16-count federal indictment. Today, Robertson's endorsement has all but evaporated from public discourse, reflecting its inherent meaninglessness. Robertson's endorsement of Giuliani drew much attention due to the odd-couple nature of their alignment. It was a political marriage few ...

Saving Our Troops News: Evangelical singer Eric Horner is the darling of the American military, and the bane of non-Christian soldiers everywhere. By Josh Harkinson November 20, 2007 Early this month, Eric Horner, a Christian country-western singer, was preparing for a concert in North Carolina's Outer Banks when he received a phone call from the United States military. President George W. Bush had just announced that he would deliver a speech to graduating Army recruits at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, in three days; the military wanted to know if Horner could play the gig. Though Horner had an obligation to perform elsewhere a few hours ...

They'll be talking about a satirical pseudo-deity called the Flying Spaghetti Monster, whose growing pop culture fame gets laughs but also raises serious questions about the essence of religion. The appearance of the Flying Spaghetti Monster on the agenda of the American Academy of Religion's annual meeting gives a kind of scholarly imprimatur to a phenomenon that first emerged ...

Recently I received the following comment during an exchange regarding Glenn Beck's interview of David Horowitz and Jonathan Sands in which Ron Paul's fringe supporters were identified as potential terrorists in part because of a recent fundraiser that identified with Guy Fawkes Day and the Gunpowder Plot to restore a Catholic monarchy in England in 1607. [It is important to] Learn why General George Washington issued his edict against his soldiers participating in the celebration of Pope's Day George Washington's edict is interesting, and it supports my argument that the Gunpowder Plot was an important inspiration for the American Revolution.

Russian doomsday cult awaits end of world, threatens mass suicide11/19/2007 @ 11:54 am Filed by Mike Aivaz and Muriel Kane Twenty-nine members of a Russian doomsday cult who holed up in a cave last week are threatening to blow themselves up with drums of gasoline if authorities try to force them out. "The dozens of religious zealots are living in freezing conditions, waiting for the end of the world" reports CNN correspondent Matthew Chance. "They believe it will come in the spring and are reported to have hoarded enough supplies to last them until then, including fuel and blankets and half a ton of honey and jam." Most of those in the cave are women, and there ...

If you are not familiar with Pastor Chuck Baldwin, you need to be. He is the pastor of Crossroads Baptist Church of Pensacola, Florida. I first became aware of him six or seven years ago, and have been an avid reader of his columns ever since.Pastor Baldwin has been a very courageous and eloquent opponent of the cult of personality that American Christians have built around GW Bush. While he has never judged what God will ultimately do with GWB, he has steadfastly measured the fruit on GWB’s tree versus the yardsticks of the Bible and the Constitution. While popularity has never been Baldwin’s number one priority, his integrity and adherence to principle have earned him a large ...

I don’t have kids, so I am somewhat isolated from the cultural swim. Hence, I had not given much thought to the Halo video game craze. That is until I read this column by Paul Proctor on News with Views. Mr. Proctor has been rattling cages for several years about contemporary methods of “doing church”. I have not always agreed with him, but he has had my attention. While I am personally okay with contemporary worship, I have recently gotten concerned about the church becoming too relevant, too seeker-friendly and too much like the secular world. Mr. Proctor discusses some of the more outlandish ways churches are recruiting new people nowadays. The one that caught my ...

State Of Israel: Not Biblical Prophecy!

A Special Report By Former Jew Br Nathanael Kapner For: Real Jew News @ www.realjewnews.com/ **See Revealing Pics & More** @ www.realjewnews.com/?p=65 THE STATE OF ISRAEL IS NOT A FULFILLMENT OF BIBLICAL PROPHECY JEWS & EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS claim that the modern State of Israel is a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. This claim evinces a shallow and errant understanding of the Bible. The meek shall inherit the earth said Jesus Christ to His disciples. But where do we see any hint of “meekness” in the conduct of the Jews? Jesus also said, Blessed are the peacemakers. But the Jews are warmongers not peace makers. The world has experienced nothing but turmoil since the ...

So there I was on a Sunday morning. Peacefully sitting in church, mentally dissecting the Pastor's message and making no trouble for anyone. Then at 11am, he was passed a message and paused in his scriptural musings. We need to remember those who gave their lives for us, he said. To preserve our way of life, that we might be free. I really lost my train of thought at this point. Now I was thinking of the standing armies of Governments and the number of people killed, maimed, and emotionally crippled by its wars. Maybe I should take up this discussion with the pastor, but I hesitate, knowing that some in the church already think I have strange ideas. And I'm aware that churches ...

This organization will introduce its plan tomorrow in Philly, which is mostly to have a million unmedicated Jesus people run around DC on October 11, 2008 talking about prayer and the evils of “Western Medicine.” According to these wordsmiths, “Our forefathers never meant to remove Church from Government, nor Government from the Church. They viewed history and throughout history, either the Church controlled the State, or the ...
