• Rep. Jackson Lee Calls for Terror Hearing on Rupert Murdoch & ‘Right Wing Extremists’

  July 29, 2011 at 9:56pm

  There isn’t any Christian Extremist who did an attack in the US, so there’s nothing to investigate.

  And the one who did it in Norway is not a Christian extremist. He hadn’t even been to church in 25 years.

  But there aren’t any right wing extremists or ideologues that advocate or engage in terrorism. So there’s nothing to investigate.

  How hard is it to cut off all funding to the UN and foreign aid?

  In reply to AvengerK.

  It was at a gathering like that that poor Lara Logan was violently assaulted. A couple of hundred men apparently thought it was ok because no one did anything about it for a very long time.

  A friend of ours was repeatedly cat called and shown porn on a cell phone just walking down the street in Cairo dressed normally. She said that was normal treatment for a woman dressed in anything less than a sleeping bag.

  We haven’t heard much from Lara.

  She should speak out and say that Egyptian society is festered with misogeny and hatred of women.

  One thing is for sure, we won’t hear much from the marxist-feminists of the West about this.

  Where is the candel-light vigil, the delegation to the UN, the conference of academics to let the feminists address the treatment of women in the middle east? Oh right, there isn’t one.

• Liberal Theologian Blames Christianity and Conservatism For Oslo Violence

  Well she sure as hell is an idiot, that’s for sure.

  She also has a long article on the topic of Religious Freedom in Egypt and, get this, she is talking about religious freedom for the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD. Apparently, people are saying bad things about the Brotherhood, and she doesn‘t think it’s very nice.

  In this article on religious freedom in Egypt, she does not even mention the persecuted Christian minority!

  This is STUNNING stuff. These people are HALLUCINATING.

  I e-mailed her and all her colleagues at the Center for American Progress and told them my opinion of her and her “argument.”

  Reaganomics? Wow. And absent the airbase in Saudi Arabia, there would be no worldwide Islamist movement. Darn.

• Liberal Theologian Blames Christianity and Conservatism For Oslo Violence

  I wrote to this hag at the Center for American Progress that this killer had not been to church in 20 years, that he had no interest or involvement with Christianity whatsoever, and that the “dark side of Christianity” is a myth or at most a minor issue. I copied it to all of her colleagues.

  In my research I found another article by her in which she expresses concern for the religious freedom of, wait for it, the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and she manages not to even mention the persecuted Christian minority in that country. It is quite literally astonishing. It borders on the miraculous.

• Norway Massacre Suspect Patronized Prostitutes; Says Liberal Mom Helped ‘Feminize’ Him

  In reply to southernloyalty.

  Some Christian groups are actually pacifists, and would die rather than fight, but most Christians are not like that, and do engage in war and self-protection.

  But you’re right, it is hard to reconcile the pacificism of Jesus with the necessity to fight on occasion. I don’t know if anyone has really solved it.

  We are told to forgive our enemies. Does that include bin Laden and Saddam Hussein? Remember, these guys were babies and toddlers at one time, surely they were innocent then.

  If the chance had come to me, I would have killed bin Laden without hesitation. I would forgive him in my heart and shoot him dead.

  I think of it this way: a good Christian is welcome to be killed rather than kill. However, not to stand by while SOMEONE ELSE gets killed. It’s not good to be a pacifist on behalf of people who depend on you, like your family or your countrymen. To stand by and say “sorry, I’m a Christian” while they die? I don’t think so.

  However, I don’t think anyone has really resolved the pacifism of Jesus with the reality of war. There are a few areas in which Jesus sets a standard that is too high for anyone to really meet. After all, we are all sinners, and maybe war is just another sin that Jesus must bear for us.

  I am a Christian but not a pacifist. I stood behind the wars in Kuwait and in Afghanistan as necessary to prevent worse disasters. I admire and honor our soldiers wholeheartedly.

  Maybe another poster knows the solution.
