UK Satanists Criminalize Christianity

UK Satanists Criminalize Christianity Last week, the highest court of appeals in Great Britain ruled that a veteran hospital nurse can't wear her crucifix necklace on the ward and keep her job. English nurses have been wearing crucifix necklaces in hospitals for centuries, but the court ruling appeared to overrule the post-WWII European Convention on Human Rights, which has guaranteed right to exercise religious conscience for 60 years. How can it be? According to the statement of Lord Judge David Neuberger, the Convention only applies to religious beliefs 'worthy of respect in a democratic society and are not incompatible with human dignity'. The evident judicial slam ...

A Simple Desultory Philippic By Mike Adams April 20, 2010 Editors' note: the following column contains vulgar language from a liberal academic that many readers will find offensive. Dear Dr. Pino: I would like, if at all possible, for you to inform me of the exact location from which you sent the following email message, dated Tuesday, April 6 2010, at 4:24 p.m that started: "... I f*** your mother..." The disgusting profanity-laced message just gets worse from there. I am curious because I have been forwarded several such messages from bloggers around the country who (claimed to have) tried to engage you in reasoned dialogue. In each instance, you apparently responded by ...
The Meaning of Timothy McVeigh

The Meaning of Timothy McVeigh Americans were fed the story of Timothy McVeigh’s trial and execution as a simple, unquestionable narrative: he was guilty, he was evil, and he acted largely alone. Gore Vidal’s 1998 Vanity Fair essay on the erosion of the U.S. Bill of Rights caused McVeigh to begin a three-year correspondence with Vidal, prompting an examination of certain evidence that points to darker truths—a conspiracy willfully ignored by F.B.I. investigators, and a possible cover-up by a government waging a secret war on the liberty of its citizens. by Gore Vidal September 2001 Toward the end of the last century but one, Richard Wagner made a visit to the southern ...
The Secular Inquisition

The campaign to arrest the pope is the product of an increasingly desperate secularism, which can only find meaning through ridiculing the religious. The New Atheist campaign to have Pope Benedict XVI arrested when he visits Britain later this year exposes the deeply disturbing, authoritarian and even Inquisitorial side to today’s campaigning secularism. There is nothing remotely positive in the demand that British cops lock up the pope and then drag him to some international court on charges of ‘crimes against humanity’. Instead it springs from an increasingly desperate and discombobulated secularism, one which, unable to assert itself positively through Enlightening ...

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Jennifer Knapp shocked the Christian music industry and fans by announcing she's gay. Rumors were rampant when Christian music artist Jennifer Knapp walked away from a successful career seven years ago. After selling about a million records and winning at Christian music's prestigious Dove Awards in 1999, the Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter simply vanished in 2003 -- leaving fans wondering where she had gone. There were countless theories as to why Knapp checked out, including the possibility of illness. But the one that raised the most ruckus among her die-hard fans was the one which proved to be true: Jennifer Knapp is gay. This week Knapp ...

/snip/ Women and girls remain deeply vulnerable in the wake of the earthquake. What can the government, NGOs, or other organizations do to ensure their safety, particularly against the threat of rape in tent cities and elsewhere?There have been a lot of rapes in the camps and they’ve been recorded even by institutions like CARE. Four major women’s organizations have created a forum mostly for advocacy on violence against women. They have also created a clinic for women victims of rape, sexual harassment and other types of violence where they are given medical and psychological care. In that process, they also document the cases so that they can eventually bring the cases to ...

He grew up in the woods and rivers of the county, fishing and swimming and hunting under sprawling blue skies and driving his rattletrap car insanely and lying on the moss with his girl and watching the branches above groping the sky and marveling as the young do at the strangeness of life, and the war came in a far country. It doesn’t matter which. It was just a country. His father, an angry man emitting the foul stench of patriotism, said his duty was to become a soldier and kill whoever it was in the far country, wherever it was. His father didn’t know or much care. It didn’t matter. Somebody would know. A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. It would be a ...

"Protocols of Zion" is the NWO Blueprint August 31, 2003 "If this state can't acknowledge God, then other states can't ...And eventually the United States of America will not be able to acknowledge the very source of our rights and liberties and the very source of our laws." Judge Roy Moore Last week Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore was suspended and his Ten Commandments monument removed from the rotunda of the Alabama Judicial Building. Consider the irony: the injunction "Thou Shall Not Steal" is banished from the Judicial Building. How long can the concept of justice survive when it is divorced from belief in a transcendent moral order? As Moore ...

Latest Pedophelia Scandal Rocks the Vatican - by Stephen Lendman Lest anyone think members of organized religions are above reproach, take note. In his new book "God and His Demons," Michael Parenti confronts both Old and New Testaments saying: "The god of the Holy Bible - so much adored in the United States and elsewhere - is ferociously vindictive, neurotically jealous, intolerant, vainglorious, punitive, wrathful, sexist, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, sadistic and homicidal. As they say, it's all in the Bible. Beware of those who act in the name of such a god. Were we to encounter these vicious traits in an ordinary man, we would judge him to be in need of ...
No Mr. President... You're Wrong

No Mr. President... You're Wrong Kevin McCullough Sunday, April 04, 2010 President Obama believes that there is little difference in the faiths that people hold. The basis for this, in his own mind, comes from a lack of conviction to his own belief in his own faith, and therefore the assumption is easily transferred to those of other faiths as well. But lest you think I'm making assertions that aren't well founded, let me back up. During his time in office, he claims to have replaced participation in a local church with getting little messages sent to him on his blackberry. Evidently God now has an app, and as such can easily fit in his pocket. He still has infamously not ...

How the first Christians understood Jesus' resurrection. Resurrection, by Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Elder, 1778To observant Christians, Easter is about much more than bunnies and chocolate eggs. In 2008, Larry Hurtado examined how early believers came to grips with the idea of Jesus' resurrection. His column is reprinted below. Easter Sunday represents the foundational claim of Christian faith, the highest day of the Christian year as celebration of Jesus' resurrection. But many Christians are unsure what the claim that Jesus had been raised to new life after being crucified actually means—while non-Christians often find the whole idea of resurrection bemusing and ...

HA HA: Pope Never Got the Memo on Child Sex Abuse by UK TELEGRAPH (March 26, 2010) The Vatican has defended the Pope over charges that he failed to act against a priest accused of abusing 200 deaf boys The Vatican has defended the Pope over charges that he failed to act against allegations of sex abuse. A Vatican newspaper editorial said the claims were an "ignoble" attack on the Pope and that there was no "cover-up", the BBC reports. Archbishops had complained about Fr Lawrence Murphy in the 1990s to a Vatican office led by the future pope, but apparently received no response. But the Pope's spokesman defended him, saying the Vatican department which the ...
The Beatific Seegar

Why is it that nearly all my closest friends smoke seegars? This is the sort of question that, normally, one would dispense of quickly and neatly, but not today. Contemplating the question, it occurred to me that there is something about seegars that eludes certain people yet brings others together. Simple matter of taste perhaps? Perhaps. Perhaps not. All I really know is that the finest men I've met have all loved a good seegar. Equally true: Not one of them ever loved a bad seegar. Equally, equally true: Few women like seegars. Why is that? Most men know the standard nag about the vice that so comforts them on their flawed and transient sojourn through life. If you're a man, you ...
(More info) Who are the Christian militia 'Hutaree' and why was the FBI targeting them?

This weekend, the FBI conducted a series of raids in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana to detain members of a Christian militia group on criminal charges. So what does this group believe, and how do its members fit in with the larger radical right? The group in question calls itself the "Hutaree"; its website says the term translates as "Christian warrior." And in keeping with that name, the material it has posted online reflects an outlook of violent religious confrontation. The Hutaree believe that acts of violence can bring about the final judgment prophesied in the Christian Bible — and therefore have been arming themselves to go to war with the Antichrist, ...

offshore oil for dummies

by far the biggest expense in establishing an offshore oil or gas field is the helicopter. you need a competent twin-engine machine to go two or three hundred miles offshore, because if an engine quits out there somewhere, there's not much likelihood of anyone happening by, so far out in the weeds, to drag your ass out of the ocean... so it's nice to have a spare engine. anyhow, once you get out to the place you've decided to work, all you do is sprinkle pixie dust from the helicopter onto the site... pixie dust can be collected from the hyperactive imaginations of peak oil deniers, abiotic oil believers, chemtrail enthusiasts, and global warming deniers... so you sprinkle ...

Summary of the eRumor A poem said to have been written by the famous "Ten Commandments Judge" Roy Moore of Alabama. bullet The Truth According to the folks at the Foundation For Moral Law this poem was written by Judge Moore.

He won that three-year case on a technicality. He later became Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court and had a 2 1/2 ton monument of The Ten Commandments brought ...

“My kingdom is not of this world.” What did Jesus mean? He [was] heir to the throne of King David. Wise men had recognized Him as a King at birth. The people proclaimed Him the highest son of David when He entered Jerusalem.1 He preached a kingdom at hand2 and told us to do the same.3 He took,4 gave,5 and appointed6 the Kingdom. The Kingdom had been on earth from generation to generation.7 It was already there when He said He was going to take it away from the Pharisees and appoint it to the little flock and then He did. He said he would not eat again until He did so with them in the Kingdom with all things fulfilled8 ---and then He did eat,9 because all things were ...

The System (Also Known As Babylon) Is the system oppressing you? Do you feel that the system is oppressive? Is the system "unfair"? Do you feel that the system need to be "overhauled" or "destroyed"? Is the system inherently "evil"? These are valid questions that most people should be wondering about from time to time. I know I wondered for years, about how we could support a system that is so oppressive and evil. At least that is how I have felt in the past. And I have wondered to myself many times how is it that people completely support the system and keep supporting it, despite knowing how detrimental it is to their lives. Every hippy, ...
Vatican ends "wall of silence" over child abuse scandal

The Vatican is breaking its silence on the previously taboo subject of paedophilia, following allegations of sexual abuse by Catholic priests in Germany. As the Pope has now become embroiled in the scandal, the BBC's David Willey questions whether he has been doing his job properly. During four decades of reporting from the Vatican, I have never seen a graver crisis affecting the very credibility of the leadership of the world's longest surviving international organisation, the Roman Catholic Church. In recent weeks, Pope Benedict has had to deal with some very serious allegations. They have been documented in two official Dublin government reports on scandals concerning the way ...
Render Unto Caesar: A Most Misunderstood New Testament Passage

Render Unto Caesar: A Most Misunderstood New Testament Passage by Jeffrey F. Barr I. INTRODUCTION Christians have traditionally interpreted the famous passage "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God, the things that are God's," to mean that Jesus endorsed paying taxes. This view was first expounded by St. Justin Martyr in Chapter XVII of his First Apology, who wrote, And everywhere we, more readily than all men, endeavor to pay to those appointed by you the taxes both ordinary and extraordinary, as we have been taught by Him; for at that time some came to Him and asked Him, if one ought to pay tribute to Caesar; and He answered, ...
