Torture? Excuse me?

Recently found this blog from NPR radio in Seattle. As you know NPR is liberal, sucking off the taxpayer nipple. The blog is from a show called "Open Source" (not "Open Sores"). It is an internet interactive show in that you can post commentsbefore during and after the show goes on. When I first listened it was about the so-called Downing street memo. Most of the comments were anti-Bush, causing my temp to rise so I wrote:
"I am glad the press wasn’t anti-Roosevelt or Anti-Truman, both Democrats, during WWII to second guess whether or not they had an “exit strategy” or a “plan for the peace”. Do you honestly think that they just sat by and thought nothing of Hitler at the time? No, they were thinking, as was the rest of the country, “What are we going to do if we have to go to war with Germany or Japan?” You folks on the left don’t understand Evil or what to do about it. “If you leave it alone long enough maybe it’ll go away.” But it doesn’t. Evil is relentless and must be confronted headon without hesitation or it will destroy you. Wake up!"...more to follow, am reading and replying to new comments on that blog.

Jane Fonda, Christian?

Just read story in http://drudgereport.com/ about Jane Fonda. She is impressed with George Bush. Good! Me too. Seems those that don't like him just squaack back the stuff they read in the Seattle Post-Intel. or late night KIRO radio, but they don't have a clue about him.
Now Ms. Fonda says that she is a Christian but that she believes "it's metaphor, written by people a long time after Christ died. And interpreted by specific groups." It's not metaphor, it's reality. From http://christiananswers.net/home.html:
Objective scholarship upholds the New TestamentGospels bear internal marks of historical integrityText of New Testament is firmly established
Since it is from the New Testament that we gain our primary knowledge of Jesus, it is fitting to ask whether this literature is sound and historically accurate. Critics often describe the Gospels as pious legend, having no historical competence, and designed only for propaganda purposes. But while it is acknowledged that the Gospels are not biography in the strict sense according to 20th century definitions,[1] the following facts give immense weight to the historical accuracy of the New Testament.
OBJECTIVE SCHOLARSHIP UPHOLDS THE NEW TESTAMENT
Archaeologists studying ancient civilizations by uncovering ruins and examining artifacts, are with increasing success confirming the accuracy of the Biblical texts. Sir William Ramsey's vindication of Luke's writings is a classic example.[2] The findings of archaeology have in fact reversed the opinions of a number of former skeptics. Among these is the scholar Dr. William F. Albright, who writes:
"The excessive skepticism shown toward the Bible [by certain schools of thought] has been progressively discredited. Discovery after discovery has established the accuracy of numerous details."[3]

The definition of a Christian is a follower of Christ and how can you be a follower of Christ if you only believe that he is a metaphor? If he is only a metaphor and not 100% real than he does not exist, only in mens minds. But, if he does exist, as I believe, then he is who he said he was, the one who is the only God as described in the Bible and is thonly One worthy to be praised. To follow Him is to be a Christian.
Galations 1: 6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! 9As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
10Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Send me a post

May 5, 2005 Have you posted my blog yet?
I found a new blog to visit, it is Albert Mohler's blog http://www.crosswalk.com/news/weblogs/mohler/ Check it out.

Just got back from Ohio to visit my dad. He is doing better, although he has some swelling in his feet. He and I are on opposite sides of the political spectrum, even though we are both Christians. If you are wondering how can a person be Christian and a liberal at the same time, it is possible. I'm sure he wonders the same about me, that how can you be a Republican and be a Christian. Well, ask me.
What about you, Dear Reader? How do you feel about Christianity, consevatism, liberalism. Visit my blog and post a note....

Watch out for "happy slapping"-its ultraviolence

Watch out for "happy slapping". http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,1470161,00.html It is nothing but the beginnings of ultraviolence. Have you ever seen the movie Clockwork Orange, about a gang of thugs that go around beating up people for no reason. Happy slapping, started in England, is where kids with video phones go up to other kids at school and hit them in the face while recprding the assult on their phone. Not just at school, either, but also people waiting at cash machines, or parks. Watch out.

The new Pope

The Pope is just a man. Romans 3:23 say "All have sinned. All fall short of the glory of God."
To have an entire religion based on Peter is crazy. Peter was a ner-do-well. Bold though. I love Peter, but he was a sinner too. During this whole time with the Pope where is the mention of Christ? He is the only one worthy to be praised.
Don't get me wrong. The old pope was a great man. So was Ronald Reagan, Winston Churchill, Margret Thatcher (who actually is a woman), Augastine, Martin Luther. Even Mary was a sinner. I've heard that Catholics believe she did not sin. Is that true, my catholic bretheren? But that's not Biblical: We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on HIM the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:6. That HIM is Jesus. Jesus alone.
I'm not bashing. Just trying to get a conversation going. Wadya think?

The Culture of Death

The Grim Reaper seems to be King in this world. You have abortion on demand, teenage kids dressing up in all black wandering through their schools shooting at and killing anyone that moves, millions in Africa sitting in the dirt dying, and just recently, beheadings in Iraq. Now Terri Schivo has been murdered by an entire society, with her husband, the appeals court in Florida, the Democrats (not all), the Supreme Court of the United States, the police all struggling to kill Mrs. Schivo as fast as, or as slow as, they could. If you are not careful, someone is going to come along and kill you, too, and nobody will care, except Jesus. He cares. He knows about the culture of death. He's been there.

Iraqi election

May God bless the Iraqi elections and may the selfish insurgents meet the real Satan. What a culture. The world is witnessing a giant culture change in the Middle East and that is why there is so much violence. The culture of 12 plus centuries of hatred and violence, since the beginning of Islam, is coming to a screaming end. The election is not the end, it is the beginning of the end of the repressive culture of Islam.

Hey, Mr. Blair! How about the world join us?

Mr. Blair says he thinks that we should join the world so that the world will go along with the kind of things that we want to do in the world. How about the world join us? It has been for quite some time, actually. Who in this world has a better idea about anything, like Democracy, free elections, justice, lack of tyranny?

Islamic rapists

It seems to me that Islamists in Chechnya and Sudan aren't waiting to die to get their virgins. The disgusting animals are raping children now! And do I here any word of condemnation from the rest of the Islamic world? No! To me that means they are all guilty! I want no part of this god-forsaken religion. Just give me Jesus, the God of mercy and grace.

Isaiah 47:13, 14 on astrology

It is plentiful in the Bible that astology is wrong, a sin. God does not want us to worship the stars. It also is illogical. Yet so many smart "Christian" bloggers have what astological sign they are listed on their profiles. Christians, put aside that which does not honor God!

Dan would Rather not

Goodjob, Pajama People! Dan Rather is starting to back track!
