The Great Thanksgiving Hoax

Each year at this time school children all over America are taught the official Thanksgiving story, and newspapers, radio, TV, and magazines devote vast amounts of time and space to it. It is all very colorful and fascinating. It is also very deceiving. This official story is nothing like what really happened. It is a fairy tale, a whitewashed and sanitized collection of half-truths which divert attention away from Thanksgiving's real meaning. The official story has the pilgrims boarding the Mayflower, coming to America and establishing the Plymouth colony in the winter of 1620-21. This first winter is hard, and half the colonists die. But the survivors are hard working and ...
Ho, Ho . . . Whoa! Secularists Get the Holiday Spirit

Perhaps the moral to this story is, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." After years of waging the so-called "Christmas wars" -- on the side opposing religious displays in public spaces -- it seems non-believers are getting into the spirit of the season. The American Humanist Association unveiled its holiday ads on Monday, and they feature a bunch of smiling revelers wearing Santa caps in a pitch that looks like just about every other holiday come-on, complete with red-and-green color scheme. But the giveaway is the jolly message broadcast in capital letters: "NO GOD?. . . NO PROBLEM!" The slogan is followed by a more traditional Christmas ...

America's Phoney War in Afghanistan By F. William Engdahl October 21, 2009 "Information Clearing House" -- One of the most remarkable aspects of the Obama Presidential agenda is how little anyone has questioned in the media or elsewhere why at all the United States Pentagon is committed to a military occupation of Afghanistan. There are two basic reasons, neither one of which can be admitted openly to the public at large. Behind all the deceptive official debate over how many troops are needed to “win” the war in Afghanistan, whether another 30,000 is sufficient, or whether at least 200000 are needed, the real purpose of US military presence in that pivotal ...

This is an experience related at an assembly: Valdir was born in Portugal. When he was younger his family moved to Brazil. He was 12 years old, when his father died, and a year later his mother remarried. Valdir did not accept that someone would take the place of his father. Conflicts arose between Valdir, his stepfather, and his mother. After a discussion that irritated the nerves, he decided to leave home. A short time later, the rest of the family decided to return to Portugal. Valdir was only 13 years old when he separated from the family. He decided to become a priest. He began his studies in a seminary and graduated in theology and became a priest. Due to his position, they sent him ...
Bishop Tobin says Rep. Kennedy is in ‘flawed communion’ with the Church

Providence, R.I., Nov 11, 2009 / 06:06 am (CNA).- Bishop of Providence Thomas J. Tobin has responded to Rep. Patrick Kennedy’s contention that his dissent from Catholic teaching on abortion does not make him “less of a Catholic.” Saying that such dissent renders the lawmaker's communion “flawed,” he urged Kennedy to become a “profile in courage” and to defend the unborn. Rep. Kennedy (D-R.I.), the son of the late U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy, had accused the Catholic Church of fanning “the flames of dissent and discord” because of the Catholic bishops’ opposition to proposed health care reform that does not explicitly prohibit funding of ...

Christian Knowledge; Christian Peace Acts 10:36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (King James Holy Bible) Acts 10:36 He sent out the word to the sons of Israel to declare to them the good news of peace through Jesus Christ: (New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures) It is really quite interesting, as my studies in the Bible continue, and my knowledge continues to expand through the undeserved kindness of Jehovah God. Peace. What a wonderful concept. It is simply a shame that so few Christians have any knowledge of the command given by Jesus Christ about living in peace. But then, that should not be a surprise, as we are told about ...
Intolerance and Deception in Islam

Islam is in essence intolerant, and its highly Machiavellian logic alternates between force and deception: deception, when Muslims are weakest and form a minority; force, when their dominance begins to be assured. Among Arabo-African immigrants Islam is not conceived of as a spiritual religion (its moral precepts are seldom followed) but as a revanchist form of ethnic self-assertion against Europeans, often called “crusaders.” Much more than Christianity, today enfeebled, Islam is fundamentally a religion of the imperative revealed truth and it has always believed, with a thoroughly blind conscience, in its own rightness, and it has justified all acts, even atrocities, committed ...

Part 2: violence, competing religions, political correctness “Academic and aristocratic people live in such an uncommon atmosphere that common sense can rarely reach them,” said Samuel Butler. For example: US Senator Harry Reid, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, John McCain, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Bill Gates and much of the U.S. Congress. In her book, THE TROUBLE WITH ISLAM,” Canadian Muslim Irshad Manji wrote, “My cause is the democracy of thought and freedom of expression…I want to give my fellow Muslims permission to think…can you tell me why Islam is at the heart of terrorism and human-rights violations?” At the center of Islam’s message is that ...
ADL CAMPAIGNS TO TRAIN HATE PROSECUTORS By Rev. Ted Pike

ADL CAMPAIGNS TO TRAIN HATE PROSECUTORS October 11, 2009 For the past ten years, the Anti-Defamation League has introduced its federal hate crime bill into Congress five times – and lost. ADL claims to have the purest intentions—concern that federal power is needed if a state does not have a hate crimes law or is unwilling or unable to punish a hate crime. ADL insisted passage of a federal hate crimes law would change little: the vast majority of prosecutions of hate crimes will be initiated by states. But in its exultant press announcement yesterday, ADL reveals the real reason it has never given up its struggle to make its hate bill the law of the land: ADL wants an army of ...
How to Demilitarize your church

Veterans Day is one of those holidays, along with Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, when it isn’t safe for non-imperial Christians who think the state should be separated from the church to attend church on the Sunday before one of these holidays. Especially troublesome is when one of these holidays, or Flag Day, actually falls on a Sunday. In many churches, Sunday services on or before these holidays are unbearable because they feature, or are wholly devoted to, the glorification of the U.S. military. Because the Christian’s golden calf is the military, it is necessary to demilitarize American churches. Although the extent to which you can demilitarize your church depends ...

I just can't keep it in. I know I shouldn't boast but, well, as a Roman Catholic I simply have to. We've won. I mean, we actually have won. The church founded by Christ has become the one and only institution hated by assorted Marxists, maniacs and misanthropes. In the space of a single week, we had the following: The Washington Post ran achingly predictable self-promoter and professional atheist, Richard Dawkins, writing that the Catholic Church was "surely up there among the leaders" as "the greatest force for evil in the world." He described the eucharist as a "cannibal feast" -- incredibly significant in that this is just what the Romans said ...

Christian Myth 6: God Approves of the Use of Images and Icons in Worship What is the origin of the Myth? “Images were unknown in the worship of the primitive Christians … The admission of images into the church in the 4th and 5th centuries was justified on the theory that the ignorant people could learn the facts of Christianity from them better than from sermons or books.” – Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature, by McClintock and Strong, Volume 4, pages 503 and 504. What does the Bible say? “You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not ...

Christian Myth 5: Mary is the Mother of God What is the origin of the myth? “Veneration of the mother of God received its impetus when … the pagan masses streamed into the church…. Their piety and religious consciousness (that of pagans converted to Christianity) had been formed for millennia through the cult of the ‘great mother’ goddess and the ‘divine virgin.’” The New Encyclopedia Britannica (1988), Volume 16, pages 326 and 327. What does the Bible say? “You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High…..

A man in Saudi Arabia is to be beheaded and crucified after he raped five children and left one of them, a three-year-old boy, to die in the desert. An appeal court in the capital Riyadh approved the death sentence handed down in June by judges in the northwestern oasis city of Hail where the convicted 22-year-old man carried out his crimes. The rapist - who was not named - was arrested several weeks ago as he tried to seize another boy after offering him a ride home from school. The seven-year-old - who escaped unharmed - helped identify the culprit. The man’s victims were aged between three and seven. He was said to have lured them into his car as they left school at midday and then ...

Climate change belief given same legal status as religion An executive has won the right to sue his employer on the basis that he was unfairly dismissed for his green views after a judge ruled that environmentalism had the same weight in law as religious and philosophical beliefs. By Stephen Adams and Louise Gray Published: 3:11PM GMT 03 Nov 2009 In a landmark ruling, Mr Justice Michael Burton said that "a belief in man-made climate change ... is capable, if genuinely held, of being a philosophical belief for the purpose of the 2003 Religion and Belief Regulations".

This is no trick or treat! this all Hallows Eve, a 17-year-old girl, who converted to Jesus Christ while reading the Bible secretly in her own bedroom; and who faced with death threats from her fanatical Muslim parents, is now being held a virtual prisoner, under watch 24/7 by her parents, in her own home: deprived of all communication with the outside world, with friends, and even from attending public school, after her parents sought her “extradition” from Florida, where she had fled for her life, at the invitation of a Christian Minister who offered her a safe-house shelter. The name of this intrepid, modern-day Christian heroine is Rifqa Bary. Her crime, conversion to ...

Christian Myth 4: God Is A Trinity What is the origin of the myth? “The impression could arise that the Trinitarian dogma is in the last analysis a late 4th-century invention. In a sense, this is true… The formulation ‘one God in three Persons’ was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century.” – New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967), volume 14, page 299. “The Council of Nicaea met on May 20, 325 C.E. Constantine himself presided, actively guiding the discussions, and personally proposed … the crucial formula expressing the relation of Christ to God in the ...
LUTHER'S HALLOWEEN BOMBSHELL and What Started The Protestant Reformation?

LUTHER'S HALLOWEEN BOMBSHELL The sixteenth century Reformation was in part a call to put aside the pagan beliefs and practices which people had long accepted. It was a call to purify the Church and its doctrines. Martin Luther's nailing of his 95 theses on the church door is often noted as a pivotal point in the Reformation. The timing and place of Luther's posting is significant -- Halloween -- October 31, 1517, on the Castle Church in Wittenberg. That Church held one of the largest collections of supposed relics outside of Rome. Pieces of bones from saints, locks of hairs from martyrs, a piece of the true cross, a twig from Moses’ burning bush, bread from the Last ...

Christian Myth 3: All Good People Go To Heaven What is the origin of the myth? After the death of Jesus’ apostles, by the beginning of the second century C.E., the early Church Fathers gained prominence. Describing their teachings, the New Catholic Encyclopedia (2003), Volume 6, page 687, says: “The general stream of teaching was that heavenly bliss is granted to the disembodied soul immediately after whatever necessary purification follows death.” What does the Bible say? “Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth.” – Matthew 5:5. Although Jesus promised his disciples that he would “prepare a place” for them in heaven, ...
Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network Warns Against 'Demonic' Halloween Candy

Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network posted a blog by Kimberly Daniels recently that warns Christians to forgo celebrating Halloween because of its evilness. Daniels specifically calls out candy as a source of soul-molestation: "During this period demons are assigned against those who participate in the rituals and festivities. These demons are automatically drawn to the fetishes that open doors for them to come into the lives of human beings. For example, most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches." Obviously, we shouldn't be buying Halloween candy, but what about getting it by trick-or-treating? "Curses are ...

Hitchens: Christianity Is A Fraud If It’s Not Literally True [Full Thread]

If the story of Jesus Christ isn't literally true, then Christianity is a fraud that promotes "a positively wicked doctrine," conservative writer Christopher Hitchens told Fox & Friends Monday morning. Hitchens, an avowed atheist whose 2007 book God is Not Great attempts to divorce conservatism from religious teachings, discussed the role of religion in American society in the wake of a recent study (PDF) that shows the number of Americans who claim no religious affiliation has roughly doubled in the past two decades, from 8.2 percent in 1990 to 15 percent in 2008. The study, conducted by Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, predicts that a full one-quarter of ...
