LET'S KEEP CHRISTMAS COMMERCIALIZED By David Chilton Every year about this time, there rises a hue and cry about the "commercialization" of Christmas, accompanied by impassioned pleas to get back to the "real meaning" of the celebration. Too much time and money, we hear, are spent on the public side of the holiday -- the hustle and bustle of shopping, the lavish decorations, and the often insincere displays of seasonal piety. Meanwhile, the true spirit of Christmas gets left behind. Some even argue that all public displays of Christmas are inappropriate. Every Christmas season seems to spawn a new series of lawsuits charging that the First Amendment is imperilled ...

'You can call it a Christmas tree' Law firm offers advice if critics bring case Posted: December 15, 2007 © 2007 http://WorldNetDaily.com Officials in an Arizona town have been told they can call their Christmas tree a Christmas tree, and if someone complains, they'll get advice from the Alliance Defense Fund, an activist legal organization. The organization said it has sent a letter to the town of Queen Creek, affirming that the use of the word "Christmas" does not violate the Constitution. "The American people, common sense, and the Constitution are clearly winning the war on Christmas waged by the Left," said Gary McCaleb, ADF senior counsel. ...

MISSION VIEJO – A high school honors student and his parents filed a First Amendment lawsuit Wednesday against a Capistrano Valley High School history teacher they say repeatedly made disparaging and religiously intolerant remarks about Christians and traditional Christian viewpoints during class. Sophomore Chad Farnan and attorneys for the Christian legal group Advocates for Faith and Freedom announced the lawsuit against 19-year history teacher James Corbett during a press conference Wednesday at the Mission Viejo school. The suit, filed in Santa Ana federal court, alleges Corbett and the Capistrano Unified School District violated the First Amendment's establishment clause ...
Why Mormons are bat-shit crazy....

God was once a man like us. God has a tangible body of flesh and bone. God lives on a planet near the star Kolob. God ("Heavenly Father") has at least one wife, our "Mother in Heaven," but she is so holy that we are not to discuss her nor pray to her. Jesus was married. We can become like God and rule over our own universe. There are many gods, ruling over their own worlds. Jesus and Satan ("Lucifer") are brothers, and they are our brothers - we are all spirit children of Heavenly Father Jesus Christ was conceived by God the Father by having sex with Mary, who was temporarily his wife. We should not pray to Jesus, nor try to feel a personal relationship with ...
Jesus, Lucifer, Mormonism (WAS HUCKABEE'S QUESTION LEGITIMATE?)

Jesus, Lucifer, Mormonism 13 Dec 2007 01:47 pm Here's a fascinating exploration of the question raised by Mike Huckabee with respect to certain Mormon beliefs. Money quote: "This is what they [the Mormon missionaries] told me: God has a physical body shaped like a man's except that it is a resurrected and perfected body of flesh and bones and spirit-no longer corruptible. He has a head, body, legs, and arms such as ours. He has feelings and emotions-love, compassion, jealousy, anger, and so on-much as we have, though in him they are controlled and exercised to perfection. He once was as we are now, and we may some day become as he is now. He once lived in accordance with ...
Talmud or Old Testament? [Shocking quotes from the Talmud]

Talmud, or Old Testament? Like you, at one time I believed that the essential difference between Jews and Christians was that the Jews believed in the Old Testament and the Christians believed in the New Testament. The truth is that their "real bible" is The Talmud. The Jewish book "The Mitzbeach" states that "there is nothing superior to 'Holy Talmud'." While the Jews profess to be attached to the Old Testament to the outside world, the real essence of the Jewish creed is not the Old Testament as such, not the books of Moses, but The Talmud. There are several branches of Jewry such as the Orthodox, Reform, Liberal, Conservative, Sephardim, ...
It's Secular

DIGG THIS The office of the president is a secular office in a secular government. There is not a word in the Constitution that authorizes the president or anyone else in the federal government to make a religious decision. Why then are both voters and candidates wasting their time talking about religion? The personal religious beliefs of the candidates should be considered irrelevant. Furthermore, people should not forget that there are a lot more professors of religion than practitioners. What a person claims to believe and how that person leads his or her life are often quite different. Laws are, in the final analysis, words on paper. They cannot and do not control human behavior. If ...

Carlson A long time friend named John wrote in frustration about a reply he received from his pastor in response to his letter about the church’s lack of concern for the ongoing slaughter in Iraq. John sought an answer to two scriptural references, and to his frustration the pastor’s reply was entirely secular. This big church pastor ignored the questions involving Jesus and the Apostle Paul’s words. Instead, John was told how evil Saddam Hussein was; that Islam ...
The Mormons and the Jehovah's Witnesses are the Same Organization

The Mormons and the Jehovah's Witnesses are the Same Organization by David Icke It's amazing how everything fits together in the world of the Illuminati if you are prepared to dig deep enough. The people and organisations who attack and abuse each other in public, or appear to be in competition, turn out over and over to be different masks on the same face. Take the Mormons and the Jehovah's Witnesses (if we must). We are told they are different organisations which stand for different "beliefs" and the followers of both would be aghast at the thought that they could be connected in any way. But then the mass of unthinking followers in any religion are merely the ...
GOVERNMENT CANNOT DO CHURCH'S JOB

By Pastor Chuck BaldwinDecember 11, 2007NewsWithViews.com One thing that Christians should come to terms with is the truism that government cannot do the church's job. Not in any shape, manner, or form. Yet, by the way many Christians and pastors behave these days, one gets the impression that they don't really understand this truth. Instead, it seems that many Christians and ministers see the government--especially the federal government--as an extension of the church. Now, if anyone thinks that I am about to go into a "separation of church and state" tirade, think again. The modern definition of "separation of church and state" is so far removed from the ...

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The deadly shooting sprees at a megachurch and a missionary training school were believed to have been carried out by the same person — a 24-year-old suburban Denver man who "hated Christians," a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation, identified the gunman as Matthew Murray, the son of a neurologist who is a prominent researcher on multiple sclerosis. Five people — including a gunman — were killed, and five others wounded Sunday in the two eruptions of violence 12 hours and 65 miles apart. The first ...
America's Pastors: Preachers of Truth or Promoters of Tyranny?

Once again, the burden of responsibility to help maintain America's liberty rests upon the shoulders of the men in the pulpits. That should not surprise us, because it has always been this way. Part of what made America great was old-fashioned, tell-it-like-it-is, no-nonsense preaching. Most of what we hear today is a bunch of mealy-mouthed, pussyfooting, ear-tickling, don't-offend-anyone preaching, which has largely contributed to America's current slippery slope into the sewer. But if you thought it could not get any worse, guess again. A startling television news report from Shreveport, Louisiana has revealed a sinister plot hatched deep inside the diabolical brain cells of ...

Romney: 'Freedom requires religion' [Full Thread]

White House hopeful Mitt Romney said religious liberty "is fundamental to America's greatness," in his Thursday address on faith in America. Romney, seeking to become the first Mormon president, explained how his faith would affect his presidency in his speech at former President George H. W. Bush's presidential library at Texas A&M University. "There are some who may feel that religion is not a matter to be seriously considered in the context of the weighty threats that face us. If so, they are at odds with the nation's founders," Romney said. "Freedom requires religion, just as religion requires freedom. Freedom opens the windows of the soul so ...
ADL'S 'DECEMBER DILEMMA'

ADL'S 'DECEMBER DILEMMA' By Rev. Ted Pike 3 Dec 07 The Anti-Defamation League says America has a big problem at Christmas- time - a "dilemma". Christianity is given much more prominence than other faiths. Jews, some African-Americans, who celebrate Kwanzaa, and other religious minorities feel left out, as if their holiday observances are unequal to those of Christianity. ADL is launching a massive "December Dilemma" campaign, educating public schools, government institutions, and town officials nation wide that such "bias" in favor of Christianity is not only unconstitutional but a grievous civil rights violation. In order to make members of all ...

A Darien priest who stole about $1.3 million from his parish to support a luxurious lifestyle was sentenced Tuesday to 37 months in prison. The Rev. Michael Jude Fay was also ordered to pay $1 million in restitution. Fay, who pleaded guilty to a federal fraud charge in September, set up secret bank accounts to pay for travel around the world and to buy a condominium, authorities say. He resigned last year as pastor of St. John Roman Catholic Church. In a courtroom apology, the 56-year-old Fay asked for leniency and said his mistakes have brought shame to his parishioners, his family and friends. "I am deeply sorry for this whole situation," he said. Fay, who has cancer and ...
California Woman Awarded $500,000 in Church Sex Abuse, Paternity Case

Rita Milla, now 46, first filed her case in 1984 after she says she was abused as a teenager by priests in the Los Angeles area. The payment was part of a $660 million global settlement the diocese reached collectively with past abuse victims. "I'll never escape the memories and I'll always be fighting the after effects of the trauma I went through, but now I can work on healing," Milla said at a news conference. A state court found in 2003 that priest Valentine Tugade fathered Milla's daughter, now 25. And another priest, Santiago Tamayo, admitted he had sex with Milla and publicly apologized years before his death in 1999. The diocese refused to comment on ...
Catholic coloring book warns US kids of pedophile priests

New York's Roman Catholic Church is trying a novel approach to alert children to the danger of being sexually assaulted by a priest, with an abuse-themed coloring book, officials said Tuesday. "Being Friends, Being Safe, Being Catholic," was distributed earlier this year to several hundred schools in the New York area as part of the church's Safe Environment Program, a spokeswoman from the city's Archdiocese said. One image in the book features a guardian angel hovering over an altar boy with a priest lurking in the background. "For safety's sake, a child and an adult shouldn't be alone in a closed room together," the angel counsels. In another, ...
Americans believe in God -- and hell, UFOs, witches, astrology: poll (and miracles - we could use one) [Full Thread]

An overwhelming majority of Americans believe in God and signicant numbers also think that UFOs, the devil and ghosts exist, a poll showed Tuesday. The survey by Harris Online showed that 82 percent of adult Americans believe in God and a slightly smaller percentage -- 79 percent -- believe in miracles. More than 70 percent of the 2,455 adults surveyed between November 7 and 13 said they believe in heaven and angels, while more than six in 10 said they believed in hell and the devil. Almost equal numbers said they believe in Darwin's theory of evolution (42 percent) -- the belief that populations evolve over time through natural selection -- and creationism (39 percent) -- the theory ...

December 3, 2007 Colonizing a Metaphor The Bible and Middle East History By ERIC WALBERG For more than a century, archaeologists and historians have attempted to confirm beliefs of both Christians and Jews about their common past using the Old Testament (OT) and New Testaments (NT) as starting points. Christians, while embracing the OT as a harmless precursor of the NT, insist that the combined texts prove the truth of Judaic monotheism, with its covenant with God, a covenant that was renewed with the resurrection of Jesus as the Christ. Jews, of course, stick with the basic OT texts, insisting they alone prove their role as God's Chosen People and their right to create a Jewish ...

Sudanese President Pardons British Teacher

NAIROBI, Kenya, Dec. 3 — The British teacher jailed in Sudan for allowing her 7-year-old pupils to name a class teddy bear Muhammad was pardoned on Monday by Sudan’s president and left for England later that night. Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir made the decision after meeting with two Muslim members of Britain’s House of Lords, the upper house of Parliament. The British prime minister, Gordon Brown, said he was “delighted and relieved” at the news and that “common sense has prevailed.” The teacher, Gillian Gibbons, was sentenced to 15 days in jail last week for insulting Islam and was supposed to be released on Dec. 10. Under Sudan’s penal ...
Golden Compass Points to Controversy

— The plot sounds familiar: movie takes on religion, angers some faction of believers. But the furor surrounding "The Golden Compass," a $180-million fantasy epic coming to theaters next Friday, is more complex than that. Based on the first volume in the award-winning trilogy "His Dark Materials" by religious skeptic Philip Pullman, the movie already has been condemned by conservative Roman Catholics and evangelicals. They say it will hook children into Pullman's books and a dark, individualistic world where all religion is evil. But at least one liberal scholar has called the trilogy a "theological masterpiece," and the U.S. Conference of Catholic ...
