God is Cruel, Perverted, Insane and a Mass Murderer 2007-04-07 07:42:00 God is Cruel, Perverted, Insane and a Mass Murderer
(The God of the Fundamentals, that is.)God is Cruel? Surely not!Oohhh…wait a minute! Now that I think about it…. there was that incident with Abraham and Issaac…..talk about playing head games! God gives Abraham this kid he’s wanted all his life and THEN he tells Abraham to take the kid out to a rock and make a sacrifice of him! So poor, gullible Abraham, an obedient lamb, takes his terrified child out to where God sent him, and just as old Abe raises the knife, God says, “JUST kidding! Now go find a goat and slit its throat and we’ll call it even.”Which, of course, brings me to another obvious point. (One PETA would have a field day with, I’m sure.) What IS it with the enjoyment God seems to get from witnessing the dismembering and killing of animals? Like that that deal with Noah. God gets pissed off at his creation because they’re not playing the game by His rules, drowns everything not on the ark, (including anima
Bible Inerrancy; Part Two with Reverend Thom 2007-04-06 22:06:00 In my last sermon, we began investigating the issue of biblical inerrancy. Before we go on to the next subject and evaluate God's apparant mental illness, let me add just one more point of interest to that subject.Do you think God wants all of us to go to heaven? I have a hard time with this issue as it relates to the fundamental Christian’s inerrant bible—there seems to be more than one answer.2 Peter 3:9 states: “The Lord is ... not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”But then you have the statement in 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 “God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned. “Yeah, yeah…I can hear the chorus now: “You’re taking all of this out of context and twisting it around. Really? But you’re the one who says the bible is inerrant…the absolutely accurate, word-for-word portrayal of the history of God and his people. So which is it? Does God want all of us to go to heaven Read more:Reverend

Florida Man Arrested for Feeding the Homeless! 2007-04-05 23:13:00 Wait a minute….I keep hearing that the US is a “Christian nation.” One nation under God and all that….. but…ummmm….didn’t Christ advocate feeding the poor? “Whatever you do unto the least of these you do unto me?”Hey Jesus…just be glad you’re not homeless in a tourist area.MIAMI (Reuters) - Police in Florida

STOP Bush from moving into Iran TODAY! 2007-03-29 15:22:00 Congress is about to take their spring break and Bush is likely to use this opportunity to do what he's wanted to do for a long time now--enter into war with Iran. (If you think the British/Iran crisis timing is coincidence, you really are dumb sheep.) Here is the information you need. If you believe in Democracy, you MUST make this call TODAY.TELL THE SENATE TO RALLY BEHIND THE WEBB AMENDMENT TO PRECLUDE ATTACKING IRANCall your members of Congress now toll free at 800-828-0498, 800-459-1887 or 800-614-2803.ACTION PAGE: http://www.millionphonemarch.com/webb_iran_amendment.phpDon't let anyone ever tell us again our voices are not heard.

How Do You Explain War to a Five-Year-Old? 2007-03-28 05:06:00 I’ve attempted to protect my 5-year old son, Ricky, from the worst of the media reporting on the wars in the Middle East. I rarely watch the news during the daytime except to check the weather (the networks rarely lie about that,) but on occasion, something distracts me for a moment and he does catch something I’d rather he not.Tonight, he caught a glimpse of an image of bombs on the network news and began asking some very tough questions. How do you explain war to a 5 year old???“Mummy, those are bad people sending those bombs!”“Well…yes and no, Honey. War is a VERY bad thing. It’s a big fight between two big groups of soldiers—and nobody ever wins.”Ricky nods his little blond head sagely and states, “Yes, soldiers are bad.”I reply, “You know your aunt “T” is a soldier, right? She’s a kind of soldier called a Marine and Marines are REALLY tough! Is Aunt “T” a bad person?”A look of troubled confusion crosses his face; he thinks and then shakes his he

Actions Announce the Emergence of a New Political Party.Washington, DC/ March26, 2007In the wake of political controversy unheard of on Capitol Hill since the Nixon presidency, House and Senate actions announced the birth of a new political party. While the newly emerged Bush Party (or GOB) holds less than half of all seats in both houses, its strength is evidenced by the its overwhelming control over many republican and even newly elected democratic seats.Republican congressman Adam Putnam of Florida made it clear today, in response to a constituent’s position query, that he would hold the GOB party line on the looming issue of presidential impeachment. Putnam responded, “It is important to remember that impeachment is not intended to be a way in which to remove someone from office with whom you disagree.

Baa!! Time for Our First Deprogamming Session with Reverend Thom 2007-03-26 07:21:00 Earlier this year, filmmaker James Cameron announced that the tomb of Jesus Christ had been found. He further claimed it proved Jesus had taken Mary Magdeline as his wife and that, together, they’d borne a son. He even had DNA evidence to back up his claims!I watched that documentary with great interest—hoping against hope that it might be true and that the abusive, fundamental portion of the Christian religion might finally begin to crash into reality. I was badly disappointed. Independent of the refutation of Christian pundits which was hastily pushed into the next time-slot as follow up, there was little in the documentary to convince most humans of average intelligence of the scientific validity of any of the findings presented.Fundamentals –1 / Thinkers – 0What’s that?? You take umbrage with my allusion that Fundamentalists aren’t Thinkers?Think again, Friend.And that brings me nicely to my first point:Fundamental Christians, dear souls that many of them may be, have b Read more:Reverend

Hagel to Bush: "This is not a monarchy!"
http... 2007-03-25 23:36:00 Hagel to Bush: "This is not a monarchy!"http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20070325/us-iraqEven if you weren't aware of it, there has been a groundswell of impeachment support and activities in the private sector for some time now. Politicians, for the most part, have studiously ignored this development and, until very recently, so has the media.Now--FINALLY--GOP Senator Chuck Hagel of Nebraska seems to be preparing to put on the gloves for the fight to impeach our out-of-control president. Our nation's very foundation of democracy is crumbling and we desperately need fair, even-handed leadership to rebuilt it. As such, there is no other option--we MUST keep the pressure on and support this move. Do a search yourself and see just how much public support this movement has already, or feel free to check out the following links I provide for those too busy to do the search themselves.

Letter to an Iraqi Mother 2007-03-24 22:41:00 For some time now, as I tuck the clean, warm bedtime blankets around my well-fed, sleeping, 5-year-old son who is almost never bothered by nightmares, a picture of you flashes in my mind. It's like many of the pictures published on the internet. One of those websites that attempt to show the TRUTH of what is happening in your country despite the lies of my country’s leaders. It is the face of a wailing mother holding her dying child who was mutilated by a bomb blast in the night. Often it brings me to tears.My child knows no want, his belly is always full, he always has clean water, he wears clean clothes every day, he is healthy and happy and has almost no idea what the word “war” means. When I go to sleep, I have no fear of a militia burning down or bombing my home in the night.I cannot imagine your anguish and fear and rage at watching precious, tiny lives and good families destroyed all around you—cannot imagine the fear for your childrens’ lives each moment, each day, e Read more:Letter

If you’ve come here expecting polite discussion, ... 2007-03-24 20:44:00 If you’ve come here expecting polite
discussion, you might want to look elsewhere.I grew up hearing the generally held edict: “One does not discuss politics or religion in polite society.” I listened. And never learned much about either until…..I was introduced to a group of evangelical Christians in my teens; they were very nice people who told me that God loved me and forgave my sins through his son, Jesus. Since, at 17 years old, I had an infinite list of mortal crimes to feel guilty ofI bought it. I became a True Believer. And I never learned about how or what other people believed.I was taught in school that America was the greatest country on earth. I dutifully placed my hand over my heart and pledged my allegiance to this great nation’s flag day after day throughout my formal brainwashing….(er, I mean schooling.) I believed that our government was to be trusted to insure peace, freedom and the pursuit of happiness.Well, maybe I got a bit carried away on my pursuit of
Jesus Was A Hypocrite and a Liar! 2007-04-08 06:11:00 Jesus was a Hypocrite and a LiarAt Least as the Christian Bible Portrayed him.It is (sometimes) with a heavy heart that I continue these little deprogramming sermons. Perhaps I should back up a bit and tell you just a bit about myself to explain.For many years, I was a True Believer. Evangelized by a group of fundamental Christians when I was only 17 years old, I grasped the hope those kind people offered like the proverbial drowning man grasps for a life preserver. I began to pray, attend church, read my bible (with my pastor’s interpretations in mind,) and truly felt the love of God and Christ reforming my desires and my behavior. I KNEW that what I’d found was Absolute Truth and that I had been saved by my Lord, Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.Now, mind you, I wasn’t the most emotionally balanced person on earth. I had difficulties stemming from either genetics or early childhood experiences that made it much more difficult for me to be what I believed God wanted me to Read more:Jesus

A Reply to My Sister's Letter in Iraq 2007-04-12 01:14:00 Dear Sister, I read your letter a little while ago. It’s taken me awhile to dry my tears and attempt to write back to you—to let you know your voice has been heard. I heard the anger in your “voice” in your letter. I understand it, I accept it and I agree with you. No part of this war was justified except in the minds of those who sought to profit from your country’s resources and, as a result, your pain. I guarantee our leaders never thought of you as in individual or what all of this would inflict upon you and your loved ones. I, like the growing number of American civilians being added to this movement each day, am ashamed of being associated in any way with the current (and some of the past,) leaders of our nation. I, like many more, am taking what actions are available to me to cause our government to stop this war and bring our sons and daughters home. I want so much for both our children and yours to live in a peaceful nation. More than anything I wish that no mother e Read more:Letter

Am I the only one who's missed this?I've heard chains rattling about an alleged "conspiracy" regarding the 9-11 tragedies, but I'm just not that much of a conspiracy buff and generally file them into the "OK, whatever" file in my brain until definitive information comes along--and it seldom does.This, however, appears to be a very legitimate report on the business and financial connections between the Bush family and the bin Laden family.

We Will Never Forget....Or Will We? 2007-04-18 06:56:00 Conspiracy theories abound in this age. "We are being watched by alien reptoids who are actually in control of the world." "Elvis--and Jim Morrison--are alive and well and selling real estate in Costa Rico. " "Bush is the 666 Antichrist." (OK, maybe that one’s a bit more believable.) ;-) One need only go to Rense.com to find out all the latest conspiracy theories. Most are, in my admittedly naive opinion, just plain silly.I’ve read more than once recently, on reliable websites, that there is yet another conspiracy theory that’s totally missed my attention until very recently. So I began doing a bit of research on the subject and am amazed at the information I've found. Skeptic that I am, I have to admit I get a sort of sick feeling in my guts the more I read on the subject. It'll take me some time to draw any actual conclusions, but I'm definately intrigued and will continue to pursue the subject.I CLEARLY remember when I first heard of the attacks on the World Trade Center.

Whether it's the illegal, incompetent, dishonest prosecution of the war in Iraq - where a member of the "freely elected government" we're so darned proud of just led a protest of thousands against U.S. presence and regularly incites, if not commits, violence against troops; where the most visible result of the "Surge" has been a suicide bombing inside parliament - or the silly defense of an Attorney General who promotes torture and lies (yes, it's documented: lies) to Congress, it is now undeniable that our country is being led by a soulless, self-adoring crook who cares nothing about average citizens, American history, or the rule Read more:Monster

Global Warming…Who Really Gives a Damn!? 2007-04-21 21:51:00 ABC—argued by some to be a right-wing controlled media outlet-- aired an interesting program last night. "Planet Earth 2007: Seven Ways to Help Save the World” seemed designed to calm our fears over Global
Warming by reassuring us that science already had solutions at hand and that nations around the world were taking the threat of global warming seriously. One of the most interesting (or amusing) concepts was the use of air purifying structures installed across the world. Imagine, 10-story-tall Ionic Breeze machines dotting the landscape around the world! What an idea! “Nevermind, citizens of Planet Earth—we’ve got it all under control! Just let your governments handle the situation and go back to playing golf, K?”*sigh*Then I came across an interesting little article at the World Science Website. Seems that ethanol, widely hoped to be an important remedy toward reducing carbon emissions which contribute to Global Warming

Who's Really To Blame in the VA Tech Shootings? 2007-04-20 23:59:00 We can blame the shooter, the school, and the medication he was allegedly taking, but the truth goes even deeper.For many years now, health insurance companies have limited the amount of real help and counseling a mental health patient has access to. It has been considered more financially appropriate to encourage physicians to simply prescribe medications and call it a cure. Ongoing therapy is very often not paid for at all and if it is, its term is truncated in the interest of the almighty dollar. The truth, however, is that without effective counseling with qualified clinicians, we are all too often setting these patients up for failure. The Virginia Tech shootings make this very clear.FACTS have shown that appropriate, regular counseling can not only identify those who may need more help, medication changes or, as in this case intervention, but in many cases, can also eliminate or stabilize the disorder or illness that originally caused the medication to be prescribed.
