• Penn Jillette Weighs in on ‘The War on Christmas’

  In reply to RhetoricalQuestion.

  What I meant to say is that “one of the biggest mistakes made in “the perception” of Christianity”. The focus is put on the failures of man’s attempts, not on the personal call to a relationship with God.

  sorry.

  To Krednjen: Your post was really good, thank you.

  One of the biggest mistakes made about “Christianity” is that “man” falls short every single time… and will have to give an account for it.

  As with any religion or claim that we are unfamiliar with, we must approach it intelligently and honestly. If we truly want to know the truth about any claim we must get outside of our own comfort zones and go straight to the source.

  Who was Mohammed?
  Who was Buddha?
  Who IS Christ?

  Seriously, we could spend the remainder of our days endlessly pointing our fingers at the huge mistakes all of mankind has made, but that approach will NEVER answer the questions that keep coming up about whether something “higher than us exists or not”.

  If you believe that something higher does exist, then search Him out with your whole heart.

  If you don’t, then it begs the question, why are you trying to censor something that you believe doesn’t exist?

  Is this about the messenger, or the message?

  If you can think it, then so can someone else.

  Imagine, neighborhoods of people on FB being watched by foreign or domestic enemies… you think it’s not happening…think again. What could/would they do with this information???

  Would you, in your right mind, post pictures and personal, identifying information in a public square in your “downtown” American town? Information that any passerby could read and make their way straight to your doorstep?

  One of the biggest mistakes a person can make is to think that their life isn’t interesting, or wouldn’t matter to anyone else. This is naive.

  Public information (through the internet) is unprecedented in human history. We can’t even begin to estimate the consequence of our vulnerability. What would history have been like during WW1 or WW2, etc., if our enemies had the information about us that they could have access to now, with only a couple of clicks?

  And don’t even start defending some of the information available as being “public record.” (I passionately argue) It used to be, any Joe Curious who wanted information on you, had to get out of his underwear, get dressed and take a trip to City Hall, and probably pay a fee… my point is, he had to make an effort with the sacrifice of his time, energy, money… the internet data mining requires little to no effort with sizable returns.

  We have to ask ourselves, just because we can, does it mean we should? What are the consequences?

• ‘I Have Nobody’: Teen Who Posted ‘Haunting’ YouTube Video on Bullying Anguish…Found Dead in Her Home

  Many prayers will go up for this girl and her family. For the anguish they have suffered, and suffer now. I am so sad to hear her story.

  When a child is raised in a culture surrounded by violence that is normalized though cartoons, video games, movies, and music, etc… we forget that our brains “go there” when exposed. Some of us tell ourselves “it’s just a story” to deal with the emotions we are left with at those moments. We are not thinking ahead about how this is imprinting our psyche, our natures, or our behaviors… until we see a story like this.

  Some are tempted to judge from a paradigm that an upbringing with no answering machines, no caller id, no internet and video games has cultivated in their own natures. We have to be intellectually honest here, those were different times. How many of us went outside in the morning, popped in to get food (maybe) midday and then returned home when the street lights came on?

  Today we are experiencing the new Wild West.

  Can we afford to be so careless when letting our children loose into it? Day after day, this wilderness is set before us and we just wander in as if we know it…

  But do we?
