Dead Reverend's Rubber Fetish Autopsy: Pastor found in wet suits after autoerotic mishap OCTOBER 8--An Alabama minister who died in June of "accidental mechanical asphyxia" was found hog-tied and wearing two complete wet suits, including a face mask, diving gloves and slippers, rubberized underwear, and a head mask, according to an autopsy report. Investigators determined that Rev. Gary Aldridge's death was not caused by foul play and that the 51-year-old pastor of Montgomery's Thorington Road Baptist Church was alone in his home at the time he died (while apparently in the midst of some autoerotic undertaking). While the Montgomery Advertiser, which first obtained ...

Should a Christian Be a Military Chaplain
Post Date: 2007-10-08 06:08:14 by Ada

If the question was whether a Christian should be a pimp, a prostitute, an abortionist, a drug dealer, a contract killer, a topless dancer, or a bouncer in a strip joint, then the answer would be quite obvious. Adherents of other religions and atheists would also generally select more wholesome occupations. Even Christian parents whose children selected more benign careers like blackjack dealer, swimsuit model, bartender, tobacco farmer, x-rated video store clerk, or Hooters waitress would generally want their children to aspire to something better. But should a Christian be a military chaplain? When I say a military chaplain I mean a chaplain paid by, and answerable to, the state. The ...

Discuss this story Print This Post E-Mail This Article Published on Friday, October 5, 2007 by the Chicago Sun-Times Why Are There No War Crimes Trials? by Andrew Greeley I’ve watched two episodes of Ken Burns’ “The War.” I don’t think I’ll watch any more. It was young men of my generation who fought those battles. The kids killed on Guadalcanal or storming Monte Cassino were only a couple years older than I was. Nor will I read the late David Halberstam’s book The Coldest Winter about Korea. My friends died in that winter cold. War is inherently ugly, destructive, horrible. The lives of young men are cut short. Parents, spouses, friends, children are ...

If one wants to see the difference between two legal systems, see below. Recall that if Mukasey gets the Atty. Gen. spot, that means Orthodox Jews will have The Federal Reverse, Homeland Unsecurity and the Injustice Dept. Wrap your head around that: The Fed, DHS and Justice will be run by genuine Jewish nutjobs. DHS and Justice pretty much comprise all of the Federal police agencies and now form the Gestapowitz. Now onto what this nice Jewish lawyer lady has to say: Quote:"The right to be left alone is a basis of Anglo-American jurisprudence, to stand for your rights. The right to privacy and to self-defense is sacred. Jewish law, on the other hand, has created mechanisms of forcing ...
Scandal brewing at Oral Roberts U.

TULSA, Okla. - Twenty years ago, televangelist Oral Roberts said he was reading a spy novel when God appeared to him and told him to raise $8 million for Roberts' university, or else he would be "called home." Now, his son, Oral Roberts University President Richard Roberts, says God is speaking again, telling him to deny lurid allegations in a lawsuit that threatens to engulf this 44-year-old Bible Belt college in scandal. Richard Roberts is accused of illegal involvement in a local political campaign and lavish spending at donors' expense, including numerous home remodeling projects, use of the university jet for his daughter's senior trip to the Bahamas, and a red ...

Are you aware of your inner voice? Do you pay attention to it? I’m not talking about the one who puts you down by the way! I’m talking about the one that softly whispers ideas and suggestions to you – the kind that the other voice might shout down, crying “Are you mad? That requires stepping out of our comfort zone, and that is to be avoided at all costs!” (even if the cost is living a life of mediocrity instead of the one of your dreams). Sadly, the latter voice is the one most of us are aware of and pay attention to. The more gentle one, that is our intuition, is often ignored – that is if we’re hearing what it tells us at all. The great pity here is ...

Skepticism, and Beyond We can't know everything about the universe, but the evidence indicates that there is a God, and that he is important to a free society. My guess is that libertarians are about equally divided between believers and nonbelievers. And although it seems possible to me that a person's ideas about God may have no relation to his or her ideas about liberty, most libertarians apparently believe that the two are closely related. That's why debates about religion tend be so acrimonious in our community. Professor Yeager's judicious account of his own thoughts and experiences - an examination of belief from the nonbeliever's point of view - does much ...

A watchdog group alleges that improper evangelizing is occurring within the ranks. October 4, 2007 edition At Speicher base in Iraq, US Army Spec. Jeremy Hall got permission from a chaplain in August to post fliers announcing a meeting for atheists and other nonbelievers. When the group gathered, Specialist Hall alleges, his Army major supervisor disrupted the meeting and threatened to retaliate against him, including blocking his reenlistment in the Army. Months earlier, Hall charges, he had been publicly berated by a staff sergeant for not agreeing to join in a Thanksgiving Day prayer. On Sept. 17, the soldier and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) filed suit against ...

The First Charter of Virginia, Seedbed for the Nation

The First Charter of Virginia Seedbed for the Nation by Herbert W. Titus, J.D., March 6, 2007 We gather this evening just one-half mile from historic Jamestown Island, Virginia, to celebrate the 375th anniversary year of Henricus Colledge (1619), Inc. While it was not until July 31, 1619, that the Colledge was authorized by the Virginia General Assembly, it is most fitting to commemorate its birth on April 9, 1994. For tomorrow, April 10, is the 388th anniversary day of the First Charter authorizing the founding of the colony of Virginia. Without the founding of the colony, there would obviously have been no college. But the connection between the two is far closer than that. Both were ...

Rev. Billy Graham: A Prince of War Exposed

The Rev. Billy Graham, a darling of the Evangelical Right, has never seen a U.S. war that he couldn’t bless. He once advocated that President Richard M. Nixon bomb the “dikes” in the north of Vietnam. He also criticized the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. for speaking out against the war. A new book, “The Prince of War: Billy Graham’s Crusade for a Wholly Christian Empire,” by Cecil Bothwell exposes the camera-mugging preacher as a serial warmonger. “The shepherd always tries to persuade the sheep that their interests and his own are the same.” -- Stendhal The propaganda machine of the Evangelical Christian Right will soon be in counter attack mode. ...

No Separation of Synagogue and State: An ark for the Pentagon By Gal Karniel Haaretz Jan. 11, 2006 An ark (for holding the Torah scrolls) was recently installed in the Pentagon's synagogue, whose ceiling was damaged in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Artist Moshe Gani designed the copper work symbolizing the 12 tribes of Israel that adorns the ark. "I wanted to create something that had both modern art and Israeli art," he says. Gani, 44, is a graduate of the Vitale School of Design (1991) and works in the Danny Henker store in the Bnei Brak Design Center. "I just stood in front of the ark and then the muse came to me," he says. He used to have ...

Teen Faces Punishment For Long Hair Daly Says He Can't Cut Hair Because Of Religious Beliefs

LEAKEY, Texas -- A Leakey High School senior is being told by his school district to cut his hair, but the student claimed religious values ban him from cutting it. Now, Ben Daly, 18, said he's being punished by the school district. Daly said he is willing to take it all the way to the Supreme Court. In the meantime, the Daly said he has contacted the American Civil Liberties Union. Rastafarianism is a religion created in the early 1900s. "We take citing from Old Testament, stating you're not suppose to cut your hair," Daly said. Daly was told on the first day of school that his hair was too long. He was told to cut it or face discipline. "I talked to the ...

6 Ark. nuns excommunicated for heresy By ANDREW DeMILLO, Associated Press WriterWed Sep 26, 7:44 PM ET Six Catholic nuns have been excommunicated for heresy after refusing to give up membership in a Canadian sect whose founder claims to be the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, the Diocese of Little Rock announced Wednesday. The Rev. J. Gaston Hebert, the diocese administrator, said he notified the nuns of the decision Tuesday night after they refused to recant the teachings of the Community of the Lady of All Nations, also known as the Army of Mary. The Vatican has declared all members of the Army of Mary excommunicated. Hebert said the excommunication was the first in the diocese's ...

Kevin Kelly reviews The Year of Living Biblically, about a guy who "recently spent a year trying to follow all 700 plus rules he found in the Bible. These rules ranged from the obvious Ten Commandments to the more obscure details of Old Testament laws, which ultra orthodox Jews might follow: leaving side hair uncut, dwelling in huts on certain holidays, strict dietary routines. To give some idea of the physical transformation he underwent, the book offers this photo." From a Newsweek interview: Q: Are you a more religious person as a result of this experiment? A: Well, I don't want to give away the ending, but let's say I started the year as an agnostic, and now I ...

If there is anyone in 4um who is truly interested in understanding the state of Christianity in America, this story should fill in all of the blanks. Provided, of course, that you have actually read the Bible, and do not take someone's word for what it actually says. 21 minutes ago NEW ORLEANS - Episcopal leaders, pressured to roll back their support for gays to keep the world Anglican family from crumbling, affirmed Tuesday that they will "exercise restraint" in approving another gay bishop and will not authorize prayers to bless same-sex couples. The statement mostly reiterated earlier pledges by the church, and it will not be known for some time whether the bishops ...
