Opposing Homosexuality is Not Bigotry
The following comments of mine were posted by someone on Facebook: “The homosexual, transgender, bi-sexual, and whatever-sexual movement works overtime to hitch its cart to the civil rights horse. . . . Sexual behavior cannot be compared to the struggle of blacks to secure full civil rights. . . .
Hillary Clinton Turns to Jesus to Promote the Welfare State
Liberals love the Bible when they can turn it into Silly Putty. They can find support for every leftist doctrine as long as they skip words, read verses out of context, and read their own views into specific texts. Even the Devil quoted the Bible (Matt. 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13), so
School Bleachers Torn Down Because They Weren’t “Equal”
The end of freedom comes by mandating equality. Here’s a perfect example. Note the name of the school, the Plymouth Wildcats, it will become important later: “A new set of seating is being torn down outside the Plymouth Wildcats varsity boys’ baseball field, not long before the season begins, because
London Park Authority Says Whale is “Too Religious”
“A London park authority has stopped plans to put a giant inflatable whale beside the Thames because it would be ‘too religious.’ The Bible Society had hoped to place the mock 50ft sperm whale in a park opposite Tower Bridge to illustrate the story of Jonah.” Will they next ban
Property Rights For Me but not for Thee
The Eighth of the Ten Commandments is, “Thou shalt not steal” (Ex. 20:15; 21:16; Lev. 9:13; Matt. 19:18; Rom. 13:9). The law regarding stealing in Leviticus 19:11 is interesting: “You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another.” The “deal falsely” prohibition caught my attention since our
President Obama Butchers the Bible Again
Once again Barack Obama is quoting the Bible when it suits his purposes. Like so many times when people quote the Bible in support of some belief, they often quote it out of context, quote it incorrectly, or commit a category error, that is, applying a text of Scripture to
Would Jesus Bake a Cake For and Attend a Homosexual Wedding?
CNN is reporting that “Arizona’s Legislature has passed a controversial bill that would allow business owners, as long as they assert their religious beliefs, to deny service to gay and lesbian customers.” If Gov. Jan Brewer signs it, the courts will rule it unconstitutional. This all started when states passed
Beware of the ‘Poverty and Justice Bible’
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
Envy Drives Man to Butcher Family Because They Had ‘Too Much’
Out of envy, a man allegedly butchered a family of five with a meat cleaver because the family was more prosperous than he was. “A police source told the New York Post the man confessed to committing the crime because he was jealous of the family’s lifestyle.” This is a horrible
Liberals Use Christian Lackey Jim Wallis to Support Obama-Style Socialism
Jim Wallis is being called on by liberals to make the case for biblical socialism. Liberals despise or reimage the Bible’s views on abortion and homosexuality, but they search high and (mostly) low for anyone who will claim that the Bible supports wealth redistribution. Wallis plans to “give out copies
Witnesses, Rules of Evidence, and War
How is it that within days of a sarin gas attack in Syria that the United States had all the intelligence information in hand that gave incontrovertible proof that Bashar al-Assad gassed his own people? Here we are more than a year after the attack on Benghazi and months after
The ‘Jesus Had Two Dads’ Myth
My wife and I taught our two sons never to call somebody or something stupid. If you use a word too often it loses its meaning. It’s the same with a well-placed but rare expletive. Sometimes it’s needed to make a point. Here’s something that’s really stupid from St. John’s
Student Obeys God Rather Than Men in Graduation Speech
I love it when someone stands up for the truth when the whole world is watching and powerful sinister groups want to shut him down. Valedictorian Roy Costner IV of Liberty High School — note the name — tore up his “pre-approved speech,” dismissed legal threats from the ACLU and
Anti-Christian Bigot Mikey Weinstein would Hate What FDR Said
Michael “Mikey” Weinstein is an anti-Christian bigot. He heads up the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. I don’t have a problem with someone criticizing the way religion is used. I do it myself. I’m just as disturbed with copies of a Left Behind video being passed around to military personnel. But
Bill O’Reilly Bloviates Against Bible Thumpers
Bill O’Reilly stepped in it the other day when he called those in opposition to homosexual marriage and who use the Bible to make their case Bible Thumpers. This is typical of O’Reilly. Christians who oppose same-sex sex don’t just “thump the Bible.” Do Christians just “thump the Bible” when
Christian Pastors Should Not Participate in Obama Inauguration
Christians are riled up that Louie Giglio, pastor of the Passion City Church in Roswell, Georgia, was dumped by Obama’s people to give the benediction at the President’s inauguration ceremony. I’m shocked that more Christians aren’t riled up that Giglio agreed to do it in the first place. Don’t get
Let’s Stop Presidents from Using Bible to Take Inauguration Oath
We need to stop presidents from taking their constitutional oath with their hand on the Bible, swearing before God that they will uphold the Constitution all the while knowing they won’t. Their campaigns and policies tell us that they will not follow the Constitution to the letter. The Constitution is
Rick Warren Missed Opportunity to Set the Record Straight
Nathan Balan at NewsBusters reports that “On Tuesday’s CBS This Morning, Norah O’Donnell hounded popular Christian pastor Rick Warren over his support of defining marriage as being between one man and one woman. O’Donnell quoted the second greatest commandment of Christianity — ‘love thy neighbor as thyself’ — to Warren
