Near-Death Experiences Explained by Science

Near-death experiences are often thought of as mystical phenomena, but research is now revealing scientific explanations for virtually all of their common features. The details of what happens in near-death experiences are now known widely—a sense of being dead, a feeling that one's "soul" has left the body, a voyage toward a bright light, and a departure to another reality where love and bliss are all-encompassing. A vision of a light at the end of a dark tunnel is sometimes reported by people who have near-death experiences, but studies suggest the sight may be the result of oxygen deprivation. Approximately 3 percent of the U.S. population says they have had a ...

Brothers and Sisters , I have been seriously considering forming a ( Christian ) grassroots type of organization to be named "The Christian National Registry of Atheists" or something similar . I mean , think about it . There are already National Registrys for convicted sex offenders , ex-convicts , terrorist cells , hate groups like the KKK , skinheads , radical Islamists , etc.. This type of "National Registry" would merely be for information purposes . To inform the public of KNOWN ( i.e., self-admitted) atheists . For example , let's say you live in Colorado Springs , Colorado , you could simply scroll down ( from the I-Net site /Blog ) I would have , to the ...

Setting the Record Straight: Michele Bachmann, Francis Schaeffer and the Christian RightBy John W. Whitehead 8/19/2011 "Certain journalists use 'dominionist' the way some folks on Fox News use the word 'sharia.' Its strangeness scares people. Without history or context, the word creates a siege mentality in which 'we' need to guard against 'them.'"--Lisa Miller, "'Dominionism' beliefs among conservative Christians overblown," The Washington PostBy its very nature, politics is inclined towards corruption, deception and the accumulation of power. Organized religion, in many regards, is no better. So I am particularly leery of those ...
Our Spiritual Leadership Stumbles and Falls: A Lesson in Betrayal and Trust

The world is standing at a crossroads. Many believe that the world has, in fact, already chosen its path and has now tunneled deep into the darkness. Like many who are working to bring to light the truth of our collective predicament, I prefer to believe there is still time for corrective action, and that the headlong rush towards self destruction can be reversed. In order for this to take place, the disturbing and deplorable facts about what we are going up against need to be revealed. The very first step on the way to substantive change is that the truth must come out. Ideally, religious leaders carry a moral imperative to bring us to the truth. But while it is true that certain ...

Jack Van Impe Leaves TBN After Criticism Of Rick Warren, Robert Schuller www.huffingtonpost.com/20...rt-schuller_n_880741.html By Adelle M. Banks c. 2011 Religion News Service (RNS) Jack Van Impe, a popular End Times broadcaster, has ended his decades-long run on Trinity Broadcasting Network after a dispute over naming ministers that he accuses of mixing Christian and Muslim beliefs. Earlier this month, Van Impe named California megachurch founders Rick Warren and Robert H. Schuller as proponents of "Chrislam," which he defined as "a uniting of Christianity with Islam." TBN pulled the episode before a repeat broadcast could air. Michigan-based Jack Van Impe ...
Does Secularism Make People More Ethical?

Boston University Psychologist Catherine Caldwell-Harris has studied the difference between religious and secular minds. Non-believers are often more educated, more tolerant and know more about God than the pious. A new wave of research is trying to figure out what goes on in the minds of an ever-growing group of people known as the "Nones". Info Barry Kosmin is a different kind of market researcher. His data focuses on consumers targeted by companies like Lifechurch.tv or World Overcomers Christian Church TM. The sociologist analyzes church-affiliated commercial entities, from souvenir shops to television channels and worship services. But the most significant target of ...

God Urges Rick Perry Not To Run For President July 21, 2011 | ISSUE 47•29 AUSTIN, TX—Describing Texas Gov. Rick Perry as grossly unqualified for the position, God, the Creator and Ruler of the Universe, urged Perry not to run for president of the United States Wednesday. “I prayed last night and asked the Lord to support my candidacy, and He said no,” Perry told reporters outside the Texas Capitol, explaining that God had cited the governor’s rejection of federal stimulus funds to expand state jobless benefits, his irresponsible speculation about Texas seceding from the union, and his overall lack of concrete solutions to the ...

Is the Christian Right Getting Fooled Again?By John W. Whitehead 8/8/2011 "We've only got one politician who's willing to stand up for Christ, and that's Rick Perry."--Rich Bates, attendee at Gov. Rick Perry's "Response" prayer rally and day of fasting"I'll get on my knees and pray we don't get fooled again."--Pete Townshend, "Won't Get Fooled Again"The Christian Right, apparently having learned nothing from George W. Bush's disastrous reign, seems determined to appoint yet another political savior, this time in the form of Rick Perry, the Republican governor from Texas. Perry recently made headlines after he hosted a ...

The 6-pointed star is not a Jewish symbol, but an Egyptian symbol which Israel adopted in the wilderness due to their apostasy Acts 7:37-43 This is that Moses...to whom our fathers wold not obey, but thrust him from them, and IN THEIR HEARTS TURNED BACK AGAIN INTO EGYPT... And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifices unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the HOST OF HEAVEN: as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to Me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of FORTY YEARS ...
Perry at the Response: ‘We cry out’ for forgiveness (updated)

About 30,000 people poured into Reliant Stadium on Saturday for the Response, a prayer gathering that Gov. Rick Perry promoted and that looked a lot like charismatic, evangelical churches across the country will look this morning. A band complete with guitars and keyboards and drums led the crowd in hours’ worth of contemporary, sometimes raucous, Christian praise music. Members of the audience swayed and danced around euphorically, their arms lifted upward as they sang along with the youthful musicians on stage. Leaders frequently asked the audience to break into small groups and offer prayers for each other and the country. More than 100 members of the media were on hand as well, ...

NOW THE GOVERNMENT CAN LEGALLY KILL CHRISTIANS Bill Dannemeyer U.S. Congressman, 1979-1992 Your U.S. government can now legally kill Christians for the “crime” of worshipping Jesus Christ! A diabolic deception has been perpetrated on the American people by their OWN leaders, Senators and Congressmen, who have sold their soul to the devil. On March 5, 1991, in the House of Representatives, and March 7, 1991, in the U.S. Senate, without any knowledge of, or input by, the people of the United States, U.S. Senators and Congressmen passed a law that is so outrageous – and frankly unconstitutional – that it forces the American people to be bound by a set of monstrous ...
Michael Cremo - The Forbidden Archeologist (1/10)

Poster Comment:Author Michael Cremo made waves in 1993 when he and Richard Thompson wrote the blockbuster book Forbidden Archaeology, an investigation into extreme human antiquity. He has just completed The Forbidden Archaeologist, a collection of his articles from Atlantis Rising magazine. Cremo's assertion that humankind has existed on Earth for billions of years places him in a totally different paradigm than the scientific establishment.

Pew Poll Shows Evangelical Christian Zionist's Rapture Quest Failing Charles E.

(1) The report states that "U.S. evangelical leaders are especially downbeat about the prospects for evangelical Christianity in their society; 82% say evangelicals are losing influence in the United States today, while only 17% think evangelicals are gaining influence."

Romans 13, The Neo-Christians Sorry Excuse for WarBy Charles Carlson During the Cold War era, evangelists, notably Billy Graham, provided public support for rearmament to protect the USA from "Godless Communism." Today’s Neo-Christian churches provide the only significant grassroots support for US serial wars against Muslim countries, supposedly to protect the U.S. from Islam, but actually to support Israel. It is useful to know how Christian scripture has been falsely reinterpreted, rewritten, and misapplied, so as to allow support for American Mideast policy. We will take an educated layman's view of the Christian scripture that we are told ...

Austrian driver's religious headgear strains credulity

Having received his driving licence, Niko Alm now wants to get pastafarianism officially recognised An Austrian atheist has won the right to be shown on his driving-licence photo wearing a pasta strainer as "religious headgear". Niko Alm first applied for the licence three years ago after reading that headgear was allowed in official pictures only for confessional reasons. Mr Alm said the sieve was a requirement of his religion, pastafarianism. The Austrian authorities required him to obtain a doctor's certificate that he was "psychologically fit" to drive. The idea came into Mr Alm's noodle three years ago as a way of making a serious, if ironic, point. A ...

Catholic Show Exposes Rockefeller Assault on Church, Life

An online Catholic TV show dubbed the Catholic Investigative Agency (CIA) dedicated a recent episode to exposing the Rockefeller Foundation’s ties to eugenics groups, population-control advocates, efforts at global governance, pro-abortion activities, and other highly controversial subjects. The program, run by Catholic media personality Michael Voris, also highlights the Rockefeller dynasty’s assault against the church — one of the primary opponents of Rockefeller-backed schemes. From the Foundation’s efforts to “purify” humanity by manipulating the gene pool to population-control campaigns aimed at reducing the number of people on Earth, the ...

It's an adventure story worthy of a movie. The only thing that's missing is Indiana Jones. In Thiruvananthapuram India, locked vaults inside a 16th-century Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple hold a plethora of riches ranging from gold coins, trinkets, and golden statues, to diamonds and a surplus of precious stone jewels. Some of the treasure is over 400 years old, including 2,205 pounds (1,000 kilograms) of gold coins, jewel encrusted crowns, solid gold ropes (including 15-feet-long gold necklaces), and a golden statue depicting the supreme Hindu god Vishnu, cloaked in abundance with emeralds and other precious gems. Another solid-gold statue stands a stunning 18-feet high, weighing in ...
Academics say law allows for prayer in Canada's schools

TORONTO - Academics disagreed over whether prayer public schools falls within court precedent and legislative boundaries. But they agree the law allows for it under certain conditions. “The courts have ruled that public schools in Ontario are not allowed to indoctrinate children into any religion,” University of Western Ontario education professor Allen Pearson said. “As I understand the case, the school is allowing students to have their prayers under the guidance of a local Imam. “So the school itself is not indoctrinating into a particular religion,” he said. While Pearson supports a Toronto school’s controversial decision to allow a Muslim religious ...

Al-Jazeerah, CCUN, July 4, 2011 Over the past several years I have been encouraged that nearly half my email response comes from evangelicals! My most popular articles often address Israel in Bible prophecy. (See, Babylon the Great is Israel, Michael Savage: Obama 'Laying Groundwork' For Apocalyptic War Against Israel) Increasingly, tens of thousands of Christians visit Truthtellers.org and Rense.com, the largest anti-Zionist internet news site with over one million unique visits a month (Rense.com's readership now equals World Net Daily, the largest Christian pro-Israel internet news service). This trend toward greater openness to a truly Biblical perspective is seen in a ...
Giant statue of Jesus Christ opened in Peru

Giant statue of Jesus Christ opened in Peru One of the world's tallest statues of Jesus Christ has been inaugurated in Peru despite high level opposition and Facebook campaigns mocking it. President Alan Garcia formally opened the monument, known as Cristo del Pacifico or Christ of the Pacific, on a hill in the capital Lima. He personally helped fund the cost of the statue to the tune of around 100,000 Peruvian soles (£22,000) and has said it will "bless and protect Lima". But he has faced strong criticism from several quarters, with many seeing it as a vanity project he chose to pursue before leaving office at the end of July. Susana Villaran, the Mayor of Lima, ...
