I’m not religious, nor am I a proponent of intelligent design (ID). But I am amused by alleged rationalists who think strident disbelief makes them enlightened primates rather than obnoxious atheistic evangelists. It interests me terribly that such people are so unhinged and emotional about their allegedly rational views. I scratch my chin and puff on my pipe when alleged free-thinkers fret about children being brainwashed with religion but have no qualms when the state forces ideological conformity on young minds. The delusion that one must be an atheist to be a first-rate scientist is common among professional atheists. I can think of several religious Nobel Prize-winning ...

About two dozen suspended Roman Catholic priests could learn whether they can return to their parishes or if accusations they molested children will doom their church career. Archbishop Charles Chaput is expected to announce the findings of the latest church investigation into the accusations, some of which had previously been dismissed as not credible. Those findings were sharply criticized by a Philadelphia grand jury last year. A person close to the process, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press that Chaput plans to announce the outcome of at least some of the investigations Friday. The person is not authorized to speak publicly about the issue. Chaput first ...

Boy, 4, Shot To Death For Being Gay Because He Slapped A Boy’s Behindby David Badash on July 31, 2011in News,ReligionA four-year old boy was shot to death by his common-law father, a religious leader who thought the boy was gay, because he had slapped another boy’s behind. As The New Civil Rights Movement reported earlier this month, four-year old Jadon Higganbothan was murdered by Peter Lucas Moses, 27, who also shot to death a 28-year old woman, Antoinetta Yvonne McKoy, police and prosecutors say. Now that prosecutors have revealed Moses’s motivation for thinking four-year old Jardon was gay, we also learned on Friday they asked for the death penalty in this tragic ...

Robert Fisk: After the Arab Spring, an Islamic Awakening? Robert Fisk Author Biography Friday 27 April 2012 More than a decade and a half ago, I travelled to Holland to meet – in the anonymity of a train station café at Leiden, at his request – one of the most brilliant Arab professors of Islamic thought, Nasr Hamid Abu Zeid. This rotund, friendly, secular man had been declared an apostate by a Cairo court, deprived of his university professorship, and shamelessly hounded out of Mubarak's Egypt in 1995 after an official declaration that he was now divorced from his wife, Ibtisam Younis. As an apostate, how could he have a Muslim wife? Ibtisam, a professor of ...
Highly Religious People Are Less Motivated by Compassion Than Are Non-Believers

ScienceDaily (Apr. 30, 2012) — "Love thy neighbor" is preached from many a pulpit. But new research from the University of California, Berkeley, suggests that the highly religious are less motivated by compassion when helping a stranger than are atheists, agnostics and less religious people. In three experiments, social scientists found that compassion consistently drove less religious people to be more generous. For highly religious people, however, compassion was largely unrelated to how generous they were, according to the findings which are published in the most recent online issue of the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science. The results challenge a ...

“Pour out your wrath!” The devastating fiction of Passover By Uri Avnery 7 April 2012 Uri Avnery considers the fictional story of the Passover and its devastating impact on Jewish culture: extreme paranoia and a craving for revenge against non-Jews – for Israelis, pouring out their wrath on their neighbours, the Palestinians and other Arabs, on their minorities and on their victims. I am writing this on Friday night 6 April, the eve of Passover. At this moment, all over the world, millions of Jews are gathered around the family table, observing the Seder, reading aloud from the same book: the Haggadah, which tells the story of the Exodus from Egypt. The impact of this ...

It also is offered as a bit of gratitude towards David Icke for messages the past few months.

Arizona Legislature Passes Internet Censorship Bill Written by Raven Clabough Monday, 02 April 2012 16:40 The Arizona state legislature has passed an Internet censorship bill that has provoked the ire of liberty seeking Arizonians. The bill extends telephone harassment laws to the Internet and other means of electronic communication. Under the pretense of being anti-bullying, the bill states that virtually anything said online that is deemed “offensive” by the state, to include editorials, illustrations, etc., could be a punishable offense. According to a Senate fact sheet, HB 2549 "[p]rohibits using any electronic or digital device, instead of a telephone, with the ...
Turin Shroud Led Apostles To Believe In Resurrection of Christ, Claims New Book

A new book was published today in the UK, following what Penguin Books told The Bookseller was “Harry Potter-style security measures” to keep its contents secret. "The Sign: The Shroud of Turin and the Secret of the Resurrection" by Thomas de Wesselow (Viking) is the latest book to take a controversial angle on the world-famous religious relic. With a US release date of April 3rd (in other words just in time for Easter), the book claims that it was encounters with the shroud itself, rather than seeing a risen Christ, that convinced the apostles that Jesus had risen from the dead. The author, an art historian based at King’s College, Cambridge, told the Daily ...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Defense lawyers plan to attack the credibility of the troubled adult accusers when two Roman Catholic priests go on trial Monday in a landmark child sex abuse case involving the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. By Joseph Kaczmarek, AP But that strategy took a hit Thursday when co-defendant Edward Avery entered a last-minute guilty plea, confirming one accuser's account of a brutal 1999 sexual assault inside a church sacristy. The victim was then a 10-year-old altar boy, Avery a 57-year-old priest. Avery's plea leaves Monsignor William Lynn and the Rev. James Brennan on trial. Brennan, 48, is charged with raping a 14-year-old boy in 1996. Lynn, 61, handled ...

John Hagee Alleges a Copyright Claim on His Prayer for War Charles E. Carlson Mar 17, 2012Who would believe that in early 2003, just before the second USA annihilation of Iraq, Reverend John Hagee held hands with Rev. Benny Hinn, praying for war, In the name of Jesus. That is the title of our much watched video on YouTube, produced by Tom Compton at We Hold These Truths. Now, if you go to YouTube to watch it, you’ll be disappointed. You will see this message: "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by John Hagee Ministries." 1 Here is part of the prayer: Hagee: "Father... I pray for our President...that you would give him the ...

#14. To: GarySpFC (#11) I'm an Evangelical, and I was likely fighting communists and the Left when you were in diapers. It wasn't the Evangelicals who promoted Liberation Theology and supported Left wing agendas, but Roman Catholics. Deconstruction is their middle name. Maybe so but that has nothing to do with the fact that you belong to a heretical, Satan-controlled death cult that dances in the blood of dead Americans in order to further Lucifer's agenda of spreading death, destruction, and misery throughout the world. Even worse is how your cult befouls the name of Jesus Christ by trying to associate his name with your evil. The cult of Judaism is a heresy and has been ...

Pat Robertson is for legalizing marijuana: What would Jesus do?

The Rev. Pat Robertson says America should legalize marijuana. Would Jesus agree? Msnbc.com put that question to a few theologians and religion experts, and the answer is … decidedly hazy. Robertson, the outspoken Christian evangelist and host of “The 700 Club,” made national headlines this week when he told The New York Times that pot should be decriminalized and treated like alcohol because the government’s war on drugs has failed miserably and is costing taxpayers billions of dollars. “I’ve never used marijuana and I don’t intend to, but it’s just one of those things that I think: this war on drugs just hasn’t succeeded,” he told the ...

Published March 10, 2012 ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The elderly California preacher who convinced hundreds of faithful followers that the world would end last May has conceded he was wrong. "Events within the last year have proven that no man can be fully trusted. Even the most sincere and zealous of us can be mistaken," wrote Harold Camping, in a letter to listeners of his evangelical Family Radio program. "Yes, we humbly acknowledge we were wrong about the timing," he added in the letter, posted on the Family Radio website. The 90 year old predicted that the world would end May 21. He then predicted the world would end Oct. 21. The preacher and broadcaster said that ...

In college I worked in a nursing home. Once I was in a woman's room (she was fading fast) and she said, "There is an angel standing behind you." I asked, "Is he here for you or me?" (I was 21.) She said, "For me," to which I answered, "Then I'll leave you two alone." When I went into the room half an hour later she was gone -- and had a smile on her face. Another time I was doing home health-care at a guy's house. He was 90 years old, and had outlived his wife. He was lying on his bed one day, muttering, "I'll see you soon....I love you." I thought, oops, and half an hour later he was gone. It was an interesting job.

Anyone who believes America's culture wars are behind her should have started out Friday reading The Washington Times. The headlines on the three top stories on page one read: "California judges asked to say if they are gay." "'Tebow Bill' for home-schoolers dies in Virginia Senate panel." "Opt-out on birth control defeated in Senate." The California judges story dealt with the lately passed Judicial Appointments Demographic Inclusion Act, which mandates a survey of all of the state's 1,600 judges – to find out how many are homosexual. Purpose of the law: "Promote and increase the representation of lesbian, gay, bisexual and ...

The Most Successful Fraud in American History by Gary North Before I identify what has to be the most successful fraud in the history of the United States, I should first define my terms. Fraud: A deliberate attempt to deceive a targeted victim, so as to obtain something of value from him that would have been difficult to obtain, had the victim known the truth. Success: Securing an advantage for yourself and your heirs that is almost impossible to lose, even under competitive conditions. I offer the following criteria as characteristics of a successful fraud. First, the perpetrator who designs the fraud and then executes it is subsequently hailed by the victims as a hero, a genius, ...

Christianity and "Game"
Post Date: 2012-03-02 13:06:23 by Turtle

I've previously insisted that Game and Christianity are not incompatible. I'm now going to go one step further and insist that, like science, it can be reasonably argued that the conceptual foundation of Game is actually dependent upon a fundamentally Christian worldview. Consider the history of science. Although the concept of experimentation has been around since the first men discovered that the secret was, in the immortal words of The Newscaster, "to bang the rocks together, guys", it wasn't until the idea of an ordered universe subject to Natural Law imposed by a rational Creator had been widely adopted as the dominant intellectual paradigm that science, as a ...

The Satanic Elements of Scientology(Note: This came from a Internet document on Scientology called the Fable.) There are two main types of Satanism, classical Satanism and neo-Satanism. Although Scientology contains many elements of neo-Satanism this story will focus on the classical elements. In classical Satanism there are numerous elements that help to characterize it as a classical satanic church. One of those elements is the prediction of an ultimate conflict between God and God's representatives (pure good) and Lucifer and his representatives (pure evil). Classical Satanists identify with the devil or Antichrist and believe or act in opposition or with disgust to the values, ...
