• Church vs. State Complaint Leads City to Remove Christian Crosses on Water Tower — Now See What They’ve Been Replaced With

  May 24, 2013 at 10:45am

  This is really just blackmail. Towns don’t want to get into an expensive legal battle over church/state issues so they automatically cave to these anti-Christians. The 1st amendment does not guarantee freedom FROM religion, only freedom OF religion. I think that if you sue a town because of a religious symbol on public property, you should have to prove that it offends you, and that it causes the establishment of a religion. I think no anti-Christian could effectively do either.

• Ariz. Lawmaker Surprises Colleagues, Comes Out as an Atheist While Delivering Daily Prayer

  May 23, 2013 at 10:08am

  Typical for an Atheist to use a non-sequitur to try to make Christians look bad. He is trying to make people think that just because they are having prayer before the meeting, he is being excluded somehow. The reality is he is a liar for asking to pray when he is an atheist. Stupid.

• ‘This Is the Last Straw’: Socialist Country Has Major Toilet Paper Shortage — and Here’s Why

  May 16, 2013 at 11:41am

  WHY, Why why, do we study history and then ignore it? Socialism has never worked anywhere. History clearly shows this. There is a fundamental problem with government bureaucrats making business decisions. Why do we have to keep making these same mistakes over and over?

• Are Stories of Historical Christian Martyrdom ‘Exaggerated, Invented and Forged’? Professor Outlines Myth Theory

  May 14, 2013 at 11:47am

  The reason she came to what I believe is the wrong conclusion (that the persecution stories were exaggerated) can be found in the following quote “Prosecution is when a person is punished for breaking a law. There’s some grey area between prosecution and persecution, but it’s important to recognize the difference because it’s possible to criticize and respond to an unjust law or political disagreements. Early Christians died because they were politically and socially subversive. With the exception of a few years, the Romans did not legislate against them much less seek them out.”

  What she is doing is calling the exaggerations “prosecution” and the real stuff “persecutions”. This is how she is nullifying the martyr stories. The problem is, to a Roman Statist (or Emperor worshiper) is that if you don’t worship the Emperor, you are breaking the law. She would call this “prosecution”, where I would call it “persecution”. Her liberal theological statements later in the interview reveal her true intent, to be a friend of the world, hoping if she panders to UN-believers she will cause them to look on Christianity favorably. This is a fools errand of course because they never do in the end. It is better just to stick to the truth and not play games.

• ‘Christian’ Singer in Grammy-Nominated Heavy Metal Band Accused of Trying to Hire Hit Man to Murder Estranged Wife

  Let the Christian bashing begin!

• ‘Christian’ Singer in Grammy-Nominated Heavy Metal Band Accused of Trying to Hire Hit Man to Murder Estranged Wife

  May 8, 2013 at 1:54pm

  In reply to antitheism.

  I don’t like heavy metal, but my daughter does. If they talk about satan, as many heavy metal singers do, then it is satanic. If they don’t, then it is not. Duh….

• The Firearms Statistics That Gun Control Advocates Don’t Want to See

  May 6, 2013 at 4:17pm

  Assumptions made by progressives seem to always turn out to be wrong. They should be a joke, it amazes me that people still take their assumptions seriously.

• Is Belief in Jesus’ Second Coming and the Biblical End Times Impacting Climate Change?

  May 3, 2013 at 1:40pm

  My opposition to global warming and now “climate change” is based on the FACT that it is a theory and a stupid one at that. Yes, I believe in the second coming, but I don’t know when. If the science was really science and not really just politics I would support it wanting to be a good steward over what God has given us. The people who designed this study are just trying to blame Christians for all what they think is evil (as opposed to what is really evil) just like Nero blamed the Christians for the fire in Rome.
