Atheists are spreading their religion again. Their latest attempt at evangelism is with a banner that reads: “Relax: hell does not exist, or heaven either, enjoy your life.” The following is my attempt to show what could happen if a person followed this atheist ‘scripture’ verse consistently: First Atheist: I noticed your banner that I should enjoy life because there’s no hell. Do you mean t [...]
On Thursday, September 24, 1789, the First House of Representatives voted to recommend—in its exact wording—the First Amendment to the states for ratification. The next day, Friday, September 25, Congressman Elias Boudinot from New Jersey proposed that the House and Senate jointly request of President Washington to proclaim a day of thanksgiving for “the many signal favors of Almighty God.” Boudin [...]
The liberal folks at Sojourners have put together a Poverty and Justice Bible that’s being published by World Vision and Bible Society: “The publishers of the Poverty and Justice Bible went looking and highlighted almost 3,000 verses in the scriptures to show that God has something to say about injustice and oppression. With bright orange highlighting, a quick glance is all you need to see that Go [...]
In her interview with marathon swimmer Diana Nyad — the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without a protective cage — Oprah Winfrey said she believed in something greater than herself but did not go so far as to say that she believed in a personal god. Nyad said that she was an atheist but found herself “in awe” of the cosmos. Oprah could not understand how someone who could be so awestruc [...]
Billy Graham is a well-respected evangelist, generally speaking. He’s been preaching the gospel since the late 1940s. He’s met with presidents, all of whom used him as a prop to get the “religious vote.” Graham was criticized early because of his “cooperation with the National Council of Churches, beginning with his New York City crusade in 1958.” ((Gary North, Crossed Fingers: How the Liberals Ca [...]
If we are to believe evolutionists like Richard Dawkins, religion is the enemy of science. He’s not the first atheist to make this claim. But when Dawkins speaks these days, people listen and react. For example, this tweet about Islam and science got a stern response: “[A]ll the world’s Muslims have fewer Nobel Prizes than Trinity College, Cambridge. They did great things in the Middle Ages, thoug [...]
Because of the latest developments in Syria, prophecy prognosticators are coming out of the woodwork . . . again. The same thing happened in 2011 when prophecy hobbyists were claiming that Isaiah 17 was being fulfilled right before our eyes. Here’s an example from a video that was uploaded on July 21, 2011: Damascus in Isaiah 17 is going to be destroyed in 1 day. This is about to occur in our life [...]
The blogosphere is all a twitter over comments Richard Dawkins made about pedophilia. Personally, I don’t understand the outrage. Dawkins and his fawning acolytes are atheists. An atheist doesn’t have a basis to condemn anything as right or wrong. Consider that evolutionists like Dawkins contend that kill-or-be-killed is the operating premise of survival of the fittest. What’s a little evolutionar [...]
I thought religion and politics don’t mix. How many times have we been told that the there’s a separation of church and state? Liberals have been pushing city council meetings to do away with prayer to open the meetings. If you know anything about liberal politicians, they are not against religion as long as they get to control it. Liberals have used black churches for decades to support their can [...]
It wasn’t too long ago that John McCain referred to Senator Rand Paul, Senator Ted Cruz, and Rep. Justin Amash (all Republicans) as “wacko birds.” He later apologized. Do you want to hear something really “wacko”? Sen. McCain accused Fox News host Brian Kilmeade of being Islamaphobic because he said that Syrian opposition groups were shouting “Allahu Akhbar! Allahu Akhbar!” as rockets hit governme [...]
Judge Michael Ponsor has ruled in Sexual Minorities Uganda v. Lively (2013) that Scott Lively, through his talks in Uganda in opposition to homosexual behavior was in fact “aiding and abetting a crime against humanity.” Lively, an evangelical pastor, was sued in a Massachusetts federal court by a foreign group called Sexual Minorities of Uganda (SMUG) based on provisions in the Alien Tort Statute [...]
My articles on the nonsense of modern-day prophecy writers got a few people upset. Jan Markell wrote a response article to which I responded by pointing out that she never dealt with the substance of the article. You can read my articles here and here. My articles really got under the skin of one end-time prophecy writer. Like Markell, he would not respond to the detailed factual points I had made [...]
There’s one thing that can be said about liberals. They are persistent. They never surrender. They never give up. They work hard to wear down the opposition. Case in point. “Two secularist organizations are working together to end legislative prayer before city council meetings in a northern California municipality." “For years, Chico city council members have invited local religious leaders [...]
Evolutionists have never seen anything evolve, as the word is technically understood. Change, yes. Evolve, no. There’s a difference. Developmental changes within a species takes place all the time. My grandfathers were barely 5’ 5” tall. I’m a high inch over six feet. I did not evolve. I’m still a human being. My youngest son is an inch taller than I am, and my older son is a tad shorter. [...]
The game of Monopoly debuted in 1935 during a time of financial recovery after a steep economic downturn called the Depression from which we’ve never really recovered since government intervention created the Depression and every economic downturn since. A similar game was developed Elizabeth (Lizzie) J. Magie Phillips in 1903. The Landlord’s Game, as it was called, was self-published in 190 [...]
Most pastors these days are not well studied in history, logic, the Constitution, or common sense. It wasn’t always this way. Ministers used to be the most educated men in the community. Few ministers today compare to the intellectual, historical, and rhetorical proficiencies of a colonial pastor. “Unlike modern mass media, the sermon stood alone in local New England contexts as the only regular ( [...]
A few weeks ago I wrote an article with the title “Another Prophetic Nonsense Conference.” It was about an upcoming prophecy conference sponsored by Jan Markell’s Olive Tree Ministries. I pointed out that these types of conferences have been going on for a long time and have done little to help Christians really understand Bible prophecy. In fact, they have done more damage than good. Without the [...]
Hollywood types get too much attention. They’re actors. They entertain us (sometimes). Their opinions are no more important than the check-out person at the local supermarket. Unfortunately, their public platform gives them a license to pontificate on subjects that the liberal media use to push a degrading agenda. Actor Mark Ruffalo’s comments on abortion is the latest example. Ruffalo played the [...]
Finding justification for perversion is a full time job these days. Consider John Boswell, an admitted homosexual who died from AIDS. For years Boswell had been trying to prove that homosexuality is supported by the Bible. He tried to make a case for homosexuality in his poorly argued Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality. Boswell entered the debate a second time in 1994 with Same-Sex [...]
“I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven … I mean I would much rather go to the other place,” Tutu said. “I would not worship a God who is homophobic and that is how deeply I feel about this.” Insanity. Let’s play a game of Tutu fill-in-the blank: “I would not worship a God who opposed ________________ and that is how deeply I feel about this.” Fill in any liberal cause, everything from govern [...]
