Video surfaces of Christians booing atheists at July 4 parade
2009-07-05 22:32:00 A 30-second independent video has surfaced from one of yesterday's parades. News of yesterday's Christian scandal has spread across the country. Carl H. Silverman, the "Rob Sherman" of Pennsylvania, sent me an e-mail with the link. Carl gets on government officials in PA for violating state/church separation and illegally spending tax dollars on religion the way I do it in Illinois. Carl didn't make the video. He became aware of it and sent me the following e-mail. ...
An extremely bad day for Christians
2009-07-05 00:45:00 Adult Christians completely embarrassed and humiliated themselves in front of the neighborhood children, today, in the Independence Day Parade in Arlington Heights. Mount Prospect wasn't much better. The newly redecorated Sherman-ator and I appeared in parades in those communities, earlier today. The mouths of Christian spectators were pathetic. Every few seconds, some Christian would heckle my vehicle and me with comments such as, "You suck!" "Boooo, boooo!" and "F--- you!" Some would give a thumbs down sign and many gave the middle finger salute with one hand while holding up a Christian cross in the other....

Christians in Taiser town, near Karachi, noticed on the walls of their church graffiti that read, "Long Live the Taliban" and calls for Christians to either convert to Islam or pay the jizye, a poll tax under sharia (Islamic law) paid by non-Muslims for protection if they decline to convert.
North Korean Christians Question Regime?s Claims
2009-04-27 15:59:00 Even as the North Korean government this month allowed two high-profile, U.S. Christian bands to perform at a music festival in Pyongyang, the fear of punishment authorities have instilled in North Korean Christians keeps most of them from publicly revealing their faith. As many as 400,000 Christians are estimated to worship secretly in the country, and Suzanne Scholte, head of an association of some 60 groups campaigning for change in the country called the North Korean Freedom Coalition (NKFC), estimates that more than 200,000 North Koreans are held in political prison camps for various perceived "disloyalties" to the regime, including adherence to Christianity.

Iran: Presecution Of Christians
2009-03-13 05:09:00 Found this great question an answer with the founder of Farsi Christian News Network. You can read the whole thing here.An interview with Saman kamvar, managing director of Farsi Christian News Network (FCNN) and Christian representative member of the Iranian Human rights activist committee. In recent years the Islamic Republic of Iran has systematically and often through violent, repressive, and anti human rights methods treated the Christian resident of Iran, especially those who have newly embraced the Christian faith and are Farsi speaking. Meanwhile, in view of the fact that Iran is named among the top three countries in the world accused of violating the human rights of its Christian population, the reactionary sensitivity of the government has increased in recent years. In the context of the recently committed acts of repression and persecution towards the Christians of Iran, discriminatory laws, systematic violation of human rights, and the recently proposed and approved by ...
Bauchi, Nigeria - New attacks on Christians despite curfew
2009-02-24 13:30:00 Michael O'Rourke N. Msc sent a message to the members of Christian Solidarity World Wide.Dear friends,Attacks on the Christian community of Bauchi State in central Nigeria are continuing despite the declaration of a comprehensive curfew in the state capital.At least eleven people were killed and over 1,500 displaced, while 14 churches, eight vicarages, one mosque and numerous Christian homes were razed to the ground during a weekend of violence that centred on seven neighbourhoods in predominantly-Muslim Bauchi Town.The violence erupted after the burning of a mosque in the Railway suburb during the early hours of Saturday 21 February that was blamed on Christians. It is now believed to have been the work of militants seeking a pretext for violence in retaliation for events in November 2008, when rioting Muslims were shot dead for defying a government-imposed curfew in Jos, the capital of Plateau State.CSW has been informed by local sources that on 13 February, a COCIN (Church of Ch...

More on Why Evolutionists Would Make Good Christians
2008-12-01 21:50:00 I've been thinking a lot lately on the the good that comes from those who adhere to the modern evolutionary view. I wrote about some of these so-called virtues in a previous article titled, Why Evolutionists Would Make Good Christians, and what continually strikes me as odd is how often virtues that are praised by Christians are magnified in secular evolutionary thought.The Writing is Not on the WallModern evolutionary thought seems to be heavily dominated, not by the empirical sciences (i.e. archeology and chemistry), but by a type of pseudo-anthropology. It is thought that is soaked in faith and touched up with science. We often hear of the life of prehistoric man. We know stories of the caveman who hunted and foraged for food, warred against neighboring cavemen and tribes, and were generally more animalistic and barbaric than we are today. We hear these tales and take for granted the fact that, not much is really known about prehistoric man simply because he was just that ? preh...

AiG?s Nine No-Good Reasons To Why Christians Must Bow To Their Dogma
2008-10-10 08:12:00 This is not dinosaur related but, worth noting. Answers in Genesis creationists in this article gives out about 9 reasons why should Christians reject the adhoc phrase “millions of years” and conform to their young earth dogmatic ways while ignoring empirical evidence which says there’s truth to the adhoc phrase. Written by Terry Mortenson for Ham’s updated Answers Book, these 9 no-good reasons are really no reasons at all. They’re just empty excuses made up to explain why Christians is to bow to their ways and be ignorant of the truth surrounding it and make them deal with controversies that’s really non-existent. To start off the article Terry writes, “There is an intensifying controversy in the church all over the world regarding the age of the earth. For the first 18 centuries of church history, the almost universal belief of Christians was that God created the world in six literal days roughly 4,000 years before Christ and destroyed the...

Christians in Texas Command Hurricane Ike to Stop
2008-09-12 02:41:00 A group of Christians from Windsor Village United Methodist Church in Houston, Texas, has decided to call upon the Almighty to stop the advancement of Hurricane Ike into Houston. By beseeching the assistance of Jesus, the alleged son of God, they have "power and authority to affect the weather," says one churchgoer upon questioning. When asked how it came to be known that they possessed this extraordinary ability, the answer was simple: faith. While it may seem absurd to claim any knowledge of this power since it has not been borne out by evidence of any kind, faith is all the evidence these believers need. Rev. Caldwell, pastor of the church, says, "It is definitely by faith that we know that we have an impact." Their church recently held a prayer meeting in order to officially command Ike to cease and desist its approach into the Houston area. Some participants claimed to have calmed Edouard and sent hurricane Gustav into southern Lou...
It feels like Christians are being discriminated against
2008-08-17 07:59:00 ..... the multiculturalizing of the law has given rise to a steady stream of conflicting judgments that appear to display bias against traditional British culture. To give but one example, last year, Lydia Playfoot, 16, lost her high court battle to be allowed to wear, at school, a Christian chastity ring, which she viewed as emblematic of her faith, and her commitment ? as a Christian ? to refrain from pre-marital sex. Recently Sarika Singh, 14, won her high court case to be allowed to wear a silver bangle, at her school, as part of her Sikh faith. Miss Playfoot?s told the BBC, after losing her case, ?At my school Muslims are allowed to wear headscarves and other faiths can wear bangles and other types of jewelry and it feels like Christians are being discriminated against.? And this sense of discrimination by the authorities is becoming widespread among the indigenous population of Britain.-A.

US rivals try to woo Christians

Why Evolutionists Would Make Good Christians
2008-08-12 22:00:00 The war between Christianity and evolution has been ongoing for more than a century. Christians who find it repugnant to suggest that humans came from apes, and atheists who find it superstitious that we originated from an unverifiable deity, continue to lash out at each other in hopes of rendering the other side's ideas null. Unfortunately, animosity toward those who advocate various evolutionary theories is unnecessary. In fact, there are many reasons why it is possible that Evolutionists (atheistic Evolutionists) could be better Christians than the run-of-the-mill strict creationist if they were to convert.

Intolerant Christians
2008-06-21 17:04:00 There are those that believe that Christians, are bigots and prejudicial, because they are not accepting of homosexual behavior, as normal and morally acceptable. It is generally held that in order to not be considered bigoted and prejudicial, we must not only accept homosexuality as normal and natural, but must embrace it as well. It is not enough to simply be accepting and caring towards homosexuals- as people- we must also accept their sexual activity, without regard to what God's Word says on the subject. Having had this discussion more in depth than was initially intended, in the comment section of another post, I am now in a position to state fully what my position is, and what I feel is the position of fundamental Christianity as a whole. (This is my opinion only, and may or may not apply to all that identify as fundamental Christians.)I do not agree that acceptance of a behavior- any behavior- is necessary, in order to refrain from being a bigot or prejudicial. Nor do I thi...

The Bedroom Business Of Christians
2008-06-06 18:52:00 What Christians do in their bedroom is their business: By Nadine Thomas-Brown, Guardian Lifestyles Reporter - Nassau, Bahamas: Jamaican Dancehall artist Charmaine "Macka Diamond" Munroe says that what people do in their bedrooms is their own business. This comes a couple of months after she spoke to church members at City of Praise Church, Ajax St., at the invitation of Pastor Arthur Duncombe to speak at a seminar entitled "Angels By Day, Monsters By Night". Pastor Duncombe had to defend his actions on Joy FM's "Joy In the Morning" show with Kevin Harris, when he said he was helping wives to keep their husbands from being enticed away. Harris had taken exception to a secular artist being brought into what they viewed as sacred grounds. However, Duncombe's congregation, more specifically the women who had attended the conference, quickly jumped to the pastor's defense. "We have a lot of Christian marriages which are falling apart and sex is a very important part of marria...

THE ATTITUDE OF HARDWORK
2008-05-16 23:35:00 It is human nature for every person to strive for success. However, success does not just happen. Success is a result of the application of certain principles. One of them undoubtedly is hard work. This is the attitude that distinguishes extra ordinary people from ordinary people. Extra ordinary people are willing to go the extra mile, do beyond what the ordinary person is doing and achieve what the ordinary person has not thought of. Proverbs 22:29 says, ?Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men.? Over the years, I have come to realize the validity of this scripture through observation and experience. I have noticed that those who get the chance to receive awards, honors, and speak with C.E.Os, presidents and other great men have always exhibited the attitude of hard work. Recognition and honor does not just happen, it takes years of practice, determination and hard work to get there. I am sure y...
Card-Carrying Christians

These aren't like other Christians I know, love and cherish as Family & Friends and whom I respect and they me. The Card-Carrying Christians I'm making reference to are the ones who travel in packs, moving door to door through a neighborhood handing out tracts like illegal aliens hand out hooker adverts on the Las Vegas Strip, and who pridefully display their Leather bound Gold Leaf Embossed Red Letter Edition Bibles containing only a select few of the original books and as if their status among their peers were based on the extravagance of their Customized Religious History Books.

Casual Christians

All Christians are moral relativists
2008-05-12 08:29:00 By GeoffI tend to avoid writing about or discussing the topic of religion. In general, my unconventional views on the subject get me into a heated discussion with a zealous, but well meaning believer concerned with my eternal destiny or a mentally draining screaming match with a pretentious asshat who believes I worship Darwin and who seems convinced that atheism is just another religion (which is like saying that not playing sports is a sport). Despite this, I usually try to remain civil. After all, we are all entitled to believe whatever we want, right?HOWEVER! There are a few annoying arguments Christians use that quite frankly make about as much sense as a gay republican. Were I to go into all of them, I would be typing here for hours and hours. So, I will focus on one for now: Moral RelativityMoral relativity essentially states that analysis into whether an action is right or wrong should come from several facets of study, culture, context, usefulness, etc. This ideas lies in s...
