Epic Fox Segment: Host Kicks Atheist Off Show For Calling Jesus & the Nativity ‘An Insult’

The atheists over at the Freedom From Religion Foundation aren’t ashamed to let their anti-faith message be heard loud and clear.
The Blaze has spoken with the group and heard, first-hand, just how strong-worded and offensive (to people of faith, at least) its message can be. Last night, the Fox Business Network’s Eric Bolling invited a FFRF representative onto his show to discuss the group’s anti-Christian stance.
During a dialogue with FFRF spokesperson Dan Barker (who is married to FFRF co-president Annie Laurie Gaylor), “Follow the Money” host Eric Bolling was so dumbfounded by the group’s anti-Jesus views that he ended up booting the atheist-spokesperson off of the program. Mediaite’s Colby Hall called the moment a “‘War on Christmas’ miracle!”
At the center of the discussion was a Texas nativity scene that the Madison, Wisconsin-based FFRF has been demanding be torn down immediately. During the dialogue, Barker claimed that America is not a Christian nation and that the nativity should not be present on government property. He went on to say that the nativity represents “an insult to human nature that we are all doomed and damned.”
It was this comment that commenced the uncomfortable exchange between Bolling and Barker. “Sir, I have to take exception to the way you’ve described the nativity scene. It’s not an insult. It’s certainly not an insult to me. I’m a Christian,” Bolling explained. “It is an insult, sir,” Barker countered. At this point, the interview continued, as Bolling sought to move on to another question. But it didn’t take long for Barker to, once again, push Bolling’s buttons.
“Why was Jesus born? To save us from our sins. What an insult that we are degraded, depraved human beings — that Jesus created a hell — a place or torture,” Barker quipped. “And how would you feel if you didn’t believe that… superstition?”
Bolling interrupted the insults and abruptly ended the interview. Watch the dialogue, below (courtesy of Mediaite):

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 10:23amif god doesnt exist than what does? is it evolution? because evolution is discredited in about 30 seconds. did you know no organism gains genetic material as it ages, in fact it loses genetic material. how can single celled organisms evolve into fish and then humans when it loses genetic material as it ages? the atheists have no answer, they avoid the question. repeatedly. organisms degenerate as they age, rendering the theory of evolution as completley useless.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 10:46amIt’s good that Bolling stood up for his faith and Christmas. However, it would have been better if he hadn’t had the grinchy creep on his show in the first place. The more publicity these people get, the more their message gets out, the more wackos will think they have to cowtow to them in the name of “diversity” and “sensitivity” and the more the myth of “separation of church and state” as “freedom from religion” will be spread. Supreme Court Justices Robert H. Jackson and Arthur Goldberg have written that the Constitution is not a suicide pact. Just because a tiny minority of extremists claim to be offended by expressions of our nation’s Judeo-Christian roots, the Constitution does not require the rest of us to surrender our religious liberties, not do we have to destroy the traditions which have united us for more than 200 years.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 10:53amGreensteam what you describe sounds more like Lemarkism, as opposed to Evolutionary theory.
In Lemarkism an individual organism evolves (develops changes) and passes on those changes to its offspring. That is not the case in the evolutionary theory. Whereas Evolutionists believe a few individuals in a species, as a whole may be born with with genetic abberation/mutation. This they pass onto their offspring. If this mutation favors environmental factors, allowing improved survivability, the members of the organism without the change die off, leaving only those with the change. Over enough time and enough mutations over generations they believe one species becomes another.
If you are going to try to debate evolutionists try to at least understand how they describe evolution as working. Otherwise you set up a strawman, and they’ll ignore you do to your ignorance of their actual beliefs. You need to know your enemy, and be just as knowledgable of their beliefs if you even want to effectively debate theirs. If you try to argue they believe in something that they don’t actually believe in you put words into their mouths, and they won’t take you seriously.
You will need to understand the fine points of not only modern evolutionary theory but also the fine points of creationism/Intelligent design.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 10:59amIt was plain to me me that the atheist has a problem…not with religion….but Christianity by his constant references to Chriustianity as “hate.”
He wanted to create the impression that he has several members and a legal staff. He does not. This character is the front man for a small group of homosexuals who despise Christianity for its rejection of homosexuality.
He thinks if he can marginalize Christianity it will allow him and other perverts to usher in an acceptance of homosexuality….all under the banner of inclusion and love and tolerance, the very same evil agenda that has promoted the inundation of thrd world people into this cxountty in order to water down the white power structure.
This is another HATE AMERICA pig. And when it gets down to the brass tacks he’s a threat to national security and as such should be taken out by any means necessary.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 11:00amFROM THE ARTICLE: “Why was Jesus born? To save us from our sins. What an insult that we are degraded, depraved human beings — that Jesus created a hell — a place or torture,” Barker quipped. “And how would you feel if you didn’t believe that… superstition?”…
This perfectly describes the godless arrogant attitude that currently has a strangle-hold on our society. Most people when challenged on their behavior fly into a defensive rage, instead of owning up to wrong-doing. Just think of this in terms of school discipline. Not too many years ago, if a teacher or a principle had to discipline a child at school – the parents BACKED UP the school authority at home. Now it’s the complete opposite attitude: “how dare you look funny at my perfect child”
Foolish pride and arrogance perfectly defines a heart that has been made impervious to the Gospel. Only people who are willing to be honest, to embrace truth even if it’s painful, who desire to be good, who want their hearts to be sensitive and pure – rather than callous and cold… Only those sort of people are capable of responding to a message of salvation.
1 Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
1 Peter 2:8 And, “He is the stone that makes people stumble, the rock that makes them fall.” They stumble because they do not obey God’s word, and so they meet the fate that was planned for them.

That’s where we differ, I suppose. I believe in the Constitution and would rather see people use it correctly and follow the law than shred it just because I agree with their views.
The host was more than welcome to have this guy on his show, but cutting him off for being offensive was immature. As I said, the mature thing would have been to not have him on in the first place if you’re just going to cut him off for being anti-Christian. This atheist group as a whole is a bed of hatred and immaturity, but it’s disingenuous to act surprised when a person you know to hold views you find offensive then expresses those views.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 11:19amHIPPONIPS, If you are refering to Daunte’s Inferno you are mistaken. Perhaps you should dust off your Bible and read Revelation Chapter 14: vs. 10 or Chapter 21 vs. 8 which states “But the fearful, and unbelieving. and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers,and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. however, if you are like some, who think Revelations is not to be taken literally, then perhaps you should read what Jesus said about hell inLuke Chapter 16: vs. 22-26 and may God bless you and enlighten you.

I”ll take idiots like Barker more seriously when I see them call for an end to the national holiday. They don‘t have that kind of courage of conviction because they know the kind of resistance and bad publicity they’ll receive from the entire country if they tried to litigate it (using the constitution) and succeeded.

I do find it humorous that you accuse other people of not respecting the Constitution, but readily admit with statements like these that you have no respect for the judicial arm of our country. But that’s always been our difference: I usually state what the facts are, and you’ll respond back with the “spirit” or the “intention” behind people’s actions. In the legal system, these amount to very little; but the Supreme Court, its rulings, and the opinions account for very much when it comes to how these issues are in reality.
Meh, difference of opinion, I suppose.

It is not even possible to make a caricature out of paleobiological facts. THE IDEA OF AN EVOLUTION RESTS ON “PURE BELIEF”.

As most evolutionist claim there is no scientific evidence to support Creationism, I say there is even less evidence to support Darwin’s theories, but don’t challenge evolutionists because they get down right nasty when you do especially in the High Schools and Universities. You see, to them, evolution is their religion.I recommend you watch Ben Stein’s Video, “Expelled, No Intelligence Allowed”. A real eye opener.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 1:14pm@encinom – WRONG again. Evolution has been absolutely abandoned by the majority of scientific community. (aging fossiles by the rocks -strata- they are found in and then aging the strata by the fossils found in it?! WHAT?! Rediculous, no other scientific discipline would have been allowed to make those rediculous claims…but when you give up on truth, you can only come up with fantasy and bad fantasy at that. 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.. Evolution VIOLATES this principle. This has all be done over a billion times, give it up, or join your crazy leader who says when pressed, we came from aliens or on the backs of crystals…huh? yeah that’s perfect…
@SacredHonor1776 – You have it wrong, what you describe is Natural Selection in which case the genetic material has always been there and is selected environmentally because the environment favors those with that gene expressed (white moth, black moth example that was used for years by evolutionist as micro-evolution (what a joke) )… is just more proof of AMAZINGLY awesome intelligent design.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 1:31pmScience would have been better off offering the public an alternative to Duncewins Theory of Evolution through the combination of uniformity and spontaneous generation, or Goulds equally pathetic alternative of punctuated equilibrium. That theory would have rested on earth existing under hyper rich oxygen content atmosphere under a thick layer of ice above that atmosphere, which alone could account for longer lives lived, and much larger animals, and mammals, as it wouldn’t have been subjected to solar poisoning to the same degree it is now. But that would also have the drawback of debunking Sciences silly little theories of how the earth was formed, and in fact prove the Biblical account of the waters above, being separated from the waters below, by a firmament (oxygen rich atmosphere), which would also have the effect of it melting at some point causing a GREAT DELUGE (that‘s flood for the scientistic’s patroling this forum), leading to solar exposure, less average mean temps, leading to shorter life spans.

While it’s refreshing to see someone else has apparently read “Thousands, Not Billions” by Dr. DeYoung, even he admits that the vapor canopy theory has absolutely no scientific evidence nor basis. It’s a neat theory, but unlike some of his work on casting doubt on carbon dating, there’s no actual evidence behind the idea.
On a side note, young earth creationist meetings are intriguing to watch. It’s never a question of “What does the evidence show,“ but ”what tests can we do to find evidence to support what the Bible tells us?” It’s an odd way to look at science, kind of a horse-before-the-cart style.

@ HippoNips: YOU WROTE: “There is no mystical place called Hell in Christianity.”
“The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side.
———————————————————————————————————-
While hipponips clearly has the wrong answer, he’s technically accurate. The word hell used in the King James Version (and subsequently other versions) is a miss representation of the Aramaic word “Topheth” which itself is an interpretation of even older representations in ancient Hebrew for the word She’ol, or Sha’al. The root of the word is anchored to su’al, which means to burrow, and also to the spirit of the term which means a grave where the physically dead go, though their eternal souls remain. The concept is a grave yard surrounded by a locked gate, and separated from the Light of God by an impassable expanse, or gulf.
The word hell was derived from a weak Alexandrian interpretation of the word Hades for Hellenistic Juadaism.

You are ignorant on this issue sir… Evolution is a PROVEN fact. But whether or not CREATION is a fact cannot be proven or dis-proven. Species on Earth have been evolving since the beginning of life on earth. Whether you believe that we were intelligently created, or came into existence due to some cosmic coincidence, is the only thing that can be argued.
Yes, you are correct that living beings lose genetic material as we age. I will not deny that scientific fact. But evolution does not happen in a single organism. Its a process in which a species changes over time to adapt to its environment in order to survive. A creature doesn’t just wake up one day and find its ears replaced by antenna, or its legs replaced by flippers… EVERY species has experienced this in some sort. With humans, over time, the longer you live in sunny, and tropical environments the darker your skin becomes (like a tan, but more permanent as this process takes many years and several generations)..
Take the Baleen Whale for example… An old skeleton of a Baleen Whale was found, and instead of flippers, this whale had legs with feet. This Baleen skeleton is the oldest one in existence, and proves that the Baleen whale had EVOLVED from a land animal (similar to a hippo) into a purely water living animal that we know it to be today..
You can argue CREATION, but anyone with a brain cannot argue EVOLUTION.
Facts are stubborn things..

I’m not advocating a young earth, or an old earth. To me it’s a non starter. I can read the Bible and say the earth was formed in 6 days, and state also that “man” has been on the earth at least 2,500,000 years, and have no conflict with reason.
I offered an alternative to SCIENCE, not to Bible believing Christians, because it gives a far less convoluted picture. One that is not the failed platform continuing to be peddled as nothing resembling a provable theory that life arose from nothing through spontaneous generation, and survival of the fittest naturally selected out weaker species (we can simply look at the diversity of life today to debunk that nonsense) though all shared common ancestry.

IF the actual word “hell” is what was meant by Hipponuts – then I apologize for the misunderstanding. I took his post to mean that the entire concept was a fabrication. In which case Hipponuts would be in error.
I guess the point I was trying to make was that regardless of what name you slap on it (hades, gehenna, sheol, tartarus, etc.) – the messengers of God were in agreement that a place of eternal punishment and horror exists. It was created for Satan and all who follow him and is the destiny of all who fail to repent and call upon the mercies of God.

LMAO The speeches each gave are a matter of public record. Go to the sources before proving yourself to be a blind follower of the blind.
The beginning of genetics began around “1850” and gradually over the years advanced, and that led to new discoveries on the building blocks of life from the 1930‘s to 1940’s and into what is classified as “modern” synthesis.
I love how when real Scientists present their findings, religion based theorists rush out to state that Scientist has no credibility, even though they themselves have never proven a theory of their own!
You’re just another disciple of Gould who altered the intent of Science (the search for truth) into a collection of whatever science peddles is fact based solely on the strawman that the theory is fact yet to be proven.

Speaking of Huxley, lets quote mine his complete statement!
“For myself, as, no doubt, for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation. The liberation we desired was simultaneously liberation from a certain political and economic system and liberation from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom.”
What does that statement amount to? A destruction of civil and social codes to fit the whims of liberal predispositions. Rather than morals, replace them with moral relativism. Rather than Biblical standards/laws, replace them with man made constructs of vanity and transition moral relativism into the political term known as moral equivalence.

You posted the most important aspect of the phrasing. Freedom OF Religion, NOT freedom FROM religion.
Atheists have an equal right to speak and to be heard, but they have NO special rights in demanding freedom FROM religion be imposed on the American society.
That’s up to the States. It’s the Federal Governments job to ensure that each State has a right to express religion in whatever manner they choose. Thus, freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 6:08pm@encinom, I’ve only had a double minor in genetics and molecular biology, so not really an expert but I probably know more than you, Polyploidy is typically the way an organism increases in genetic materials, but this means nothing, the freshwater crustacean Daphnia pulex, or water flea has 31,000 genes, the average human? 23,000 genes. I do know this, there is no answer to how one organism has more real information, not just genetic material but a gene that codes for something useful, over another organism. If left to chance it would take billions of years to get any useful combination to code for something useful, and then add on an enzyme that could actually interpret that code, the world would be still populated by precursor biologicals. I believe there is a evolutionary process, which we call adaptation, but that can easily just be another mechanism for survival.

Very well done post. You’re keeping Science, Science, and away from the area how things “are”.
Science has absolute useful application for us to better adapt, and understand how to adapt in our various stages of development (not intended as evolution).
I’m a Computer Engineer but we have several Molecular Geneticists in research and development working on adapting defense projects. Not one of them would even consider the fallacy of what is called evolution in academia today. The information codes, from DNA to final construct of “active” DNA material building blocks, and why and how they understand which switches to activate and not in the material available in a DNA strand simply cannot happen with the precision it does by random chance. The Physics involved in that fallacy are simply irreconcilable. Especially considering that the vast majority of the DNA strand (helix) is considered junk DNA (it’s not really, we simply don’t understand its purpose).
One of my MG co-worker says it pretty simply. The more I learn and think I know, the more I realize the impossibility of chance, and just how much I don’t know in comparison to the intelligent creative forces contained in the building blocks of life.

Obviously, Mr. Barker has no understanding of Christianity, whatsoever, making absurd statements like, “that Jesus created a hell — a place or torture”.

EVERSON v. BOARD OF EDUCATION OF EWING TP., 330 U.S. 1 (1947)
The New Jersey statute is challenged as a ‘law respecting an establishment of religion.’ The First Amendment, as made applicable to the states by the Fourteenth, Murdock v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 319 U.S. 105 , 63 S.Ct. 870, 872, 146 A.L.R. 81, commands that a state ‘shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.’ These words of the First Amendment reflected in the minds of early Americans a vivid mental picture of conditions and practices which they fervently wished to stamp out in order to preserve liberty for themselves and for their posterity.

Report Post »Evidence is to the contrary. That’s NOT all you atheists want, and you are also selectively immune to evidence. If you’re position is so logically superior, then stop purposely mischaracterizing your opponents. There’s no need to take an obvious expression of good will (Merry Christmas!) to mean a dire insult. There is no insult intended to any faith by uttering those words. To so twist meanings is EVIDENCE that your own will is not noble as you claim, but ill. The evidence is that you seek the destruction of beliefs that lead to good outcomes. You don’t subscribe to those beliefs, fine, your choice. But the evidence is still in their favor. For example, whether or not you agree that there is a God who is Father of our spirits, it is undeniable that this belief leads to a deep respect for the liberty and equality of our human brothers and sisters. The fact that abuses of this belief have led to wars in the past is immaterial to that statement of truth.
You are also wrong about the founders, about their motivations for framing our govt the way the did, and about the “separation of church and state” which does not accurately reflect the 1st amendment language. You are correct that Jesus wasn’t born in December, but when we choose to celebrate it is less important than that, what and how we celebrate it.

Don’t bother, it doesn’t matter. Seriously.
Evolution is “settled science” and has been for 50 years, if not 100. The principals of evolution are taught in almost every school that actually teaches science, not just in the US and Europe, but everywhere in the world. Only a tiny, a vanishingly small fraction of educated people in the world don’t believe in evolution, including priests and pastors and whatever of every religion, who don’t view evolution as an excuse for behaving licentiously (that’s just silly) and don’t believe in conflicts with their religion or the Gospel.
Your challenge to “give reference material” for a belief in evolution is as empty as asking for reference material proving the world is spherical rather than flat. The debate is not about the truth of evolution, which God used to create humans in the view of the devout, but in the details. There is no serious debate any longer about the broad strokes of evolution, any more than there is serious debate about whether the Earth is 10,000 or 4.6 billion years old. Or whether the world is flat or “round”.

Very good post sir.
My issue with atheists is that they “think to change times and laws”. The Founders were crystal clear on what the precepts of this Nation were based. On God. GOD is the ONLY one who can change times and laws. By Him Nations rise, and by Him Nations fall. The chief cornerstone of this Nations founding was, and remains Christianity by unanimous acclamation of those who risked life to secure this United States of America.
To destroy the Constitution and Declaration, they, the atheistic communists, must destroy God. That’s not going to happen. The sad part is that evolution theorists know that to begin dismantling the MORAL society they had to somehow make the Constitution a LIVING ORGANISM, changed by the whim of imagination. Teddy Roosevelt began it by tinkering with the SCOTUS. Wilson perverted it further, and FDR destroyed it as a separate check on the balance of power. At that point, the folly of evolution started becoming the hideous monstrosity we see today.

There is only 1 law that is consistent beyond local application and that’s gravity. If entrophy was true in the definition presented by the “story teller”, the Universe would have been collapsing eons ago. The fact is that it’s not collapsing, but is in fact accelerating, and the elements at this space is the same as the elements of the space we detect 14 billion years in the future. Unless of course you’re going to say that the laws in 14 billion year old space are different than the laws in THIS space. At that point you’ve created an entirely new and impossibly bankrupt theory, and you destroy the application of physics, and in fact the 4 basic laws themselves. Newton and Einstein would probably have a little problem with that fairy tale.

I will concede this much. It’s a cute idea, entropy over the failed silliness of uniformity. Chasing the hilarious theory of purple dinosaurs to Lucy is entirely too much Aesop’s Fables than I can stand. Especially since it has been discredited, including spontaneous generation which begs for the humor of entropy to actually make sense beyond painting it with lipstick and calling it a super model visual aide for evolution. In other words. Entropy can explain a dispersing of the energy for physical matter, but it cleverly avoids the idea of intuition and spiritual idea’s altogether, as though the physical and spiritual were one and the same. We already know the energy of the physical as we know it will decay and the energy that powers the physical will disperse into chaos of base physical elements. As Christians we KNOW that we have to put off this flesh to attain spiritual/everlasting life.
The atheist has this to look forward to. The flesh dying along with the power plant of it’s nutritional energy. Then they will awake to the reality that their postulations and gimmicky theories were built on LESS than thin air.

Posted on December 14, 2011 at 10:07am@encinom, It’s not about how much we know about genetics, it’s about probability and chance ultimately. What are the chances of chemicals coming together to form logical patterns and have a protein (ie. enzyme) be able to interpret that chemical coding to form other proteins all by chance? Genetics is really about inheritance, every mechanism we understand is about passing or changing the information we have in our cells already, not really about how it came to be. No one is abandoning science, but science is a tool, or the way I like to see it, it‘s man’s understanding of the universe God made. The two are not incompatible. There are fundamental problems with man’s understanding, I remember back in the late eighties we did a study with neural net’s at the University I went to on BAM (Bi-directional Associative Memory) Neural nets, we learned they can never fully understand anything fully. Like neural nets, our ‘wiring’ doesn’t allow for a complete 100% understanding, it always gets 98% understanding or so and then trails off. So will we know everything? probably never, science helps but our minds are just not capable, so we end up having to accept things. Putting this in an evolutionary form, ask yourself this if Christianity was not helpful for the survival of humanity, why has it persisted for thousands of years? If it didn’t help us in someway, based on evolution, it would have been forgotten a long time ago, as you said “as feel good myths”

But it hasn’t, Christanity is only 2,000 years old and it is only recently that it is world wide. Hinduism is much older. Humans as a species are self aware and social, religious thought may simply be an evolutionary trait derived from these facts. Man grew and invovled without christianity for longer than there were Chritians. Great empires flourished in Asia, Europe and the Americas with the Judeo/Christian teachings.
The interesting test would be to see if dolphins, Chimp and other great apes, namely species whose intelligence approaches ares are also self aware and do they have religious beliefs themselves.

The tree, yule log, Santa Claus, and other ‘Christmas’ traditions were adapted or adopted from other religions and cultures. The only real Christmas tradition that can be linked to the celebration of the birth of Christ is the giving of gifts as is portrayed in the Nativity scene by the 3 wise men.

Our Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land, asserts that Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Thomas Jefferson in his letter to the Danbury Baptists in which he envision a wall of separation between church and state, cited those two clauses in his letter and described their meaning, by immediate stating thereafter, in the same paragraph:
“Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.”
Yes, Constitutionally these clauses restore to man all his natural rights, to include freedom of religion, and such natural rights are not in opposition to his social duties, such as governing.
This letter had only three paragraphs. The first perfunctory, the second, the meat with the above cited sentence, and in the third and final paragraph Jefferson said a prayer, thus illustrating that religion was not in opposition to his social duty as President.
There is NO LAW opposing one expressing his faith, whether he governs or not. In fact, it is unlawful to silence him or her.

Jefferson was not being privately religious when he wrote his letter to the Danbury Baptists. He did so as President to assure the Baptists that their religion was secure even as they, or he, addressed fellow citizens, or the government. His freedom of religion does not oppose said social duty. Such Jefferson proved as he figuratively prayed from atop the very wall he used to illustrate the meaning of the First Amendment.
Think castle wall, it protects the king, in this case We The People and our freedoms, from being assailed by government, but the castle wall does not prevent us from walking through the gate to exercise any of our rights or freedoms.
Religious groups seek proper permitting to display artifacts of faith. It makes sense that the level of government, being petitioned for permits, not bring conflict together for such is not in keeping with peaceful assembly or maintaining domestic tranquility.
The lawn of city hall or Public Square is quite appropriate for citizens to gather and express their opinion or faith, for Congress shall MAKE NO LAW respecting the establishment of religion, or PROHIBITING the free exercise thereof. When the season of Christmas is over, perhaps the atheist can petition for permits to display their hate, disrespect, contempt, whatever, for the Christians desire to express their faith and love.
Prayer can be silent; no one need know the prayer, or whether or not one was said.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 10:46amThe message of Christ and the Bible is LOVE, “ Love your neighbor as yourself”. Some of the world’s greatest charities formed to help the poor and sick are Christian.
Let me ask you: How long do you think a Nativity Scene, a Cross or a Minorah would last in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Gaza or Iran? Do you think they would destroy or burn these symbols? YOU BET THEY WOULD!!
Oh yes, Christianity and Christians aren’t perfect. The Inquisition, Salem Witch Trials, Some actions during the Crusades, far right Neo Nazis and Christian groups using religious faith, the KKK and many others who distort Christ’s message are prime examples. These groups certainly don’t represent the majority of Christians.
The message of Islam is hatred promulgated by shriah law. Honor killings of children and relatives, stoning, beheadings, destruction of other faiths religious shrines and the murder of the leaders, convert or die, marriage to girls as young as six years old, women’s rights non existant, beating your wife once a week is permissable and the list goes on and on. While many Muslims don’t want to live under such rules, The Imams and the highest leadership of the Islamic faith demand that they follow Koran as described above.
Oh yes, it is these very Christian principles which allow you to post your opinion. If you were in an Islamic country you would be arrested, tried and convicted for insulting the profit Muhammed. Nobody will put you in jail for being anti Christian.

I haven’t seen many atheists who speak out against the radicals, and when they do it is typically behind the shield of internet anonymity. As far as I’m concerned, if the community allows people to go out and act like this without any sort of reprimand then they are just as complacent with the actions and words of the fringe.
You want to see true hatred, the full essence of the horror humanity is capable of? Go read Mein Kampf, Mao’s Red Book, and then read all the works of true monsters instead of the pathetic straw-man college man-child ideology “Oh yeah man the Bible and the Koran those are both bad.” People are more than capable of cruelty beyond measure in any setting and in any belief system.

Since some jurisdictions are trying to promote Christianity and exclude all other religions, they are violating the Constitution. This attempted violation of the Constitution is what is offensive. It is also scary in the sense that if the supreme court were to allow government to promote Christianity, the next logical step is to require public money be spent to promote other religions. It is far better that the constitution is followed, and government not spend public money to promote any religion and leave religious activity to the church.

When Jesus was in the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights, he was bound to have encountered boulders that were too big for him to move. Even so, Jesus told us that if we have faith the size of a muster seed that we can move mountains (Matthew 17:20), so if he did encounter such a boulder in the wilderness that he needed moved out of his way, he could have prayed for his father in heaven to move it.

In your comments, which I appreciate, I am wondering who exactly you are referring to? You are blending Jesus’ identity with his Father, back and forth and in so doing the question comes up, who is God?
The Almighty God Jehovah can do anything He wants to, or needs to, to accomplish His will.
Revelation 4:11
His Son, Jesus while on the earth was in human form, a man, so he at that time was limited although he did have fantastic abilities through the Holy Spirit that he prayed for and relied upon.
After he sacrificed his perfect body for all of us and was resurrected by God to sit at God’s right hand, he was granted to have all authority over the Christian Congregation. So, now Jesus also can do whatever he needs to do to accomplish the will of his Father and his God. – Matthew 28:18-20
The lifting of a rock or anything else is not a question of merit when the Almighty God Jehovah is involved.

Posted on December 13, 2011 at 12:52pmBlacktooth, personally I believe God is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I’m guessing you’re a Jehovah’s Witness, or a Mormon, and if that’s the case, you don’t believe that Jesus is eternal, but instead believe he was created. What I believe, however, is that Jesus is eternal (Jn 8:58) and that he is God incarnate (Jn 14:8-9). Based on my belief that Jesus is God, I was just trying to answer the question of whether God could create a rock so big he can’t move it. It‘s a good question and one I’ve wondered about myself.
…..
“’I tell you the truth,’ Jesus answered, ‘before Abraham was born, I am!’” (Jn 8:58)
“God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: “I AM has sent me to you.”’” (Ex 3:14)
“Philip said, ‘Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.’ Jesus answered: ‘Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, “Show us the Father”?’” (Jn 14:8-9)

It is good to include some more context to John 8:58 which may shed some light on what Jesus was saying to the Jew’s.
If I may, can I start with verse 54; The Jew’s asked: Who do you claim to be?” 54 Jesus answered: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifies me, he who YOU say is YOUR God; 55 and yet YOU have not known him. But I know him. And if I said I do not know him I should be like YOU, a liar. But I do know him and am observing his word. 56 Abraham YOUR father rejoiced greatly in the prospect of seeing my day, and he saw it and rejoiced.” 57 Therefore the Jews said to him: “You are not yet fifty years old, and still you have seen Abraham?” 58 Jesus said to them: “Most truly I say to YOU, Before Abraham came into existence, I have been.” 59 Therefore they picked up stones to hurl [them] at him; but Jesus hid and went out of the temple.
Does this sound like Jesus is claiming to be God the Father?

Also, regarding John 14:8-9, if we include 14:23, it says; 23 In answer Jesus said to him: “If anyone loves me, he will observe my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and make our abode with him. 24 He that does not love me does not observe my words; and the word that YOU are hearing is not mine, but belongs to the Father who sent me.

Your Bible translation says; “God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: “I AM has sent me to you.”’” (Ex 3:14)
Other translations often render it differently, such as Exodus 3:14 in my Bible; 14 At this God said to Moses: “I SHALL PROVE TO BE WHAT I SHALL PROVE TO BE.” And he added: “This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, ‘I SHALL PROVE TO BE has sent me to YOU.’”
The term “I AM” does not convey an accurate understanding of how God was to be known. So when Jesus said “I am”, he simply meant he is, I am, just as I can say “I am”. That does not mean I am God, it just means I am.

Until then you have zero concrete proof. How ironic that when there is concrete proof, it is then deemed “too late” to accept Jesus.

The result was that a religious people rose in rebellion against Great Britain in 1776, and that most American statesmen, when they began to form new governments at the state and national levels, shared the convictions of most of their constituents that religion was, to quote Alexis de Tocqueville’s observation, indispensable to the maintenance of republican institutions. The efforts of the Founders of the American nation to define the role of religious faith in public life and the degree to which it could be supported by public officials that was not inconsistent with the revolutionary imperatives of the equality and freedom of all citizens is the central question which this exhibition explores.

Testimony of the Evangelists by Simon Greenleaf (1783-1853)
Greenleaf, one of the principle founders of the Harvard Law School, originally set out to disprove the biblical testimony concerning the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He was certain that a careful examination of the internal witness of the Gospels would dispel all the myths at the heart of Christianity. But this legal scholar came to the conclusion that the witnesses were reliable, and that the resurrection did in fact happen.
http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/jesus/greenleaf.html
and greenleaf was no chump…
As Dane Professor of Law at Harvard University who, along with Justice Joseph Story, was primarily responsible for Harvard’s eminent position among law schools in the United States, Greenleaf produced a famous, three-volume work, A Treatise on the Law of Evidence, which Knott, in The Dictionary of American Biography says was called “the greatest single authority on evidence in the entire literature of legal procedure.”

Looking to the world at no very distant date, what an endless number of the lower races will have been eliminated by the higher civilised races throughout the world.” (Darwin, Charles R.

In 1942, Nobel Laureate Ernst Chain wrote that his discovery of penicillin (with Howard Florey and Alexander Fleming) and the development of bacterial resistance to that antibiotic owed nothing to Darwin‘s and Alfred Russel Wallace’s evolutionary theories.
The same can be said about a variety of other 20th-century findings: the discovery of the structure of the double helix; the characterization of the ribosome; the mapping of genomes; research on medications and drug reactions; improvements in food production and sanitation; new surgeries; and other developments.
Additionally, I have queried biologists working in areas where one might have thought the Darwinian paradigm could guide research, such as the emergence of resistance to antibiotics and pesticides. Here, as elsewhere, I learned that evolutionary theory provides no guidance when it comes to choosing the experimental designs. Rather, after the breakthrough discoveries, it is brought in as a narrative gloss.

oh and while you’re at it..explain this to me…
Our work provides a new perspective on the genetic basis of adaptation. Despite decades of sustained selection in relatively small, sexually reproducing laboratory populations, selection did not lead to the fixation of newly arising unconditionally advantageous alleles. This is notable because in wild populations we expect the strength of natural selection to be less intense and the environment unlikely to remain constant for ~600 generations. Consequently, the probability of fixation in wild populations should be even lower than its likelihood in these experiments. This suggests that selection does not readily expunge genetic variation in sexual populations, a finding which in turn should motivate efforts to discover why this is seemingly the case.
This experiment was begun in 1975. After 35 years and 600 generations, accelerated by artificial selection, the net evolution (in terms of adaptation and improvement in fitness) was negligible if not nil.

Posted on December 14, 2011 at 9:09amMajor transitions in biological evolution show the same pattern of sudden emergence of diverse forms at a new level of complexity. The relationships between major groups within an emergent new class of biological entities are hard to decipher and do not seem to fit the tree pattern that, following Darwin’s original proposal, remains the dominant description of biological evolution. The cases in point include the origin of complex RNA molecules and protein folds; major groups of viruses; archaea and bacteria, and the principal lineages within each of these prokaryotic domains; eukaryotic supergroups; and animal phyla. In each of these pivotal nexuses in life’s history, the principal “types” seem to appear rapidly and fully equipped with the signature features of the respective new level of biological organization. No intermediate “grades” or intermediate forms between different types are detectable. Usually, this pattern is attributed to cladogenesis compressed in time, combined with the inevitable erosion of the phylogenetic signal.

really now? so isolated groups don’t evolve differently?? hmmmm?? isn’t that what your precious theory says?? as watson put it….
Watson is credited with discovering the double helix along with Maurice Wilkins and Francis Crick in 1962.
In the newspaper interview, he said there was no reason to think that races which had grown up in separate geographical locations should have evolved identically. He went on to say that although he hoped everyone was equal, “people who have to deal with black employees find this not true”.
pure evolutionary racism…its implicit in the theory itself….I would say get a clue, but you’re not evolved enough…
