Religion and Violence… Wednesday, Jun 10 2009

An excellent essay on Judaism and Christianity as they relate to Islam and violence.

Too often there are Muslim apologists that insist on equating the Christian Crusades as being the pillar of Christianity and “proof” that Christianity is as violent as Islam, if not more. Along with many Bible references of an historical nature, also taken out of context by the apologists and applied incorrectly to Judaism and Christianity.

No matter how much the Islam apologists try to do it, the Crusades were anything but an example of spreading Christianity by the sword. The Crusades were defensive responses to Islamic encroachment on Christian lands. It doesn’t take a historian to figure that out. It does take a moron a huge leap in conjecture and innuendo to make the case that the Crusades are similar or worse than the spread of Islam by the sword.

Read this for a really well done essay on the topic.

Raymond Ibrahim: Are Judaism and Christianity as Violent as Islam?
by Raymond Ibrahim

My essay from the Middle East Quarterly (Summer 2009 vol.16 num.3, p. 3-12):

“There is far more violence in the Bible than in the Qur’an; the idea that Islam imposed itself by the sword is a Western fiction, fabricated during the time of the Crusades when, in fact, it was Western Christians who were fighting brutal holy wars against Islam.”[1] So announces former nun and self-professed “freelance monotheist,” Karen Armstrong. This quote sums up the single most influential argument currently serving to deflect the accusation that Islam is inherently violent and intolerant: All monotheistic religions, proponents of such an argument say, and not just Islam, have their fair share of violent and intolerant scriptures, as well as bloody histories. Thus, whenever Islam’s sacred scriptures—the Qur’an first, followed by the reports on the words and deeds of Muhammad (the Hadith)—are highlighted as demonstrative of the religion’s innate bellicosity, the immediate rejoinder is that other scriptures, specifically those of Judeo-Christianity, are as riddled with violent passages.

Anti-homo Marriage… Friday, May 1 2009 

Axis of Idiots and Christian and Socialism and Stupid People 1idvet 15:11 pm

Anti-homo marriage and proud of it. There are more of us that do NOT want homo marriage than there are those that do. It isn’t about homophobia either. It’s about what’s right in the eyes of God and those that feel that marriage is paramount to survival of the species. Either way you look at it, homo marriage ruins the society in which it is allowed. Look at Europe.

Stick to the civil union crap and get your cavorted benefits, but leave civil society the hell alone.

Gay Tail Wags Hetero Dog
By David Limbaugh

I doubt Prejean lied, especially considering what Neal admits officials did advise Prejean to say, which is egregious enough.

Why should Prejean have to apologize to anyone? And what wounds does she have an obligation to heal? She did not spontaneously volunteer her opinion on same-sex marriage; she gave it reluctantly, in response to Hilton’s loaded question. Nor did she “wound” anyone merely by voicing an opinion shared by hundreds of millions.

A Tale of Two Churches Tuesday, Dec 16 2008

One is racist, the other isn’t. We report, you decide.

A Tale of Two Churches

This is a tale of two American churches. One is in a major city. The other is in a small town. One preaches hatred of America and its institutions. The other preaches love and patriotism. One is infected with a toxic dogma known as Black Liberation Theology. The other espouses the Gospel of Jesus Christ. One was just firebombed. Guess which one.

Barack Obama spent twenty years sitting in the pews of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, listening to some of the foulest teaching ever to come from the mouth of a “preacher.” That preacher was a poison-tongued demagogue named Jeremiah Wright, who has spewed racist lies and hateful conspiracies from his pulpit during his entire career.

Meanwhile, in Wasilla, Alaska, an evangelical church, attended by Gov. Sarah Palin and her family, teaches the true meaning of Christ’s message to His church and to a fallen world.

Christianity Under Attack Saturday, Apr 5 2008 

Christian and First Amendment and Political Correctness 1idvet 07:50 am

Christianity is under attack, and I won’t be quiet about it. If you are a Christian, or not, but believe in freedom of speech, and freedom of religion, that the Constitution guarantees, then don’t stand idly by and let the left’s homosexual agenda, the school indoctrination of Islam and their intolerance towards Christians continue.

Speak out against this whenever you encounter it and write your Representatives and Senators to let them know how you feel about this.

In the mean time, you can go to www.silencingchristians.com and view a series that addresses this issue. Don’t let this continue.

The fourth episode of “Speechless … Silencing the Christians” will air this Saturday night, April 5, at 8:30 p.m. (EDT) on INSP cable network. This is the fourth episode of “Speechless.”

Watch, and then forward the information to your family and friends!

This episode is titled “Olivia’s Song.” It tells the story of a little girl who was prohibited from singing about God in her school talent show. You can watch the program on INSP cable TV network. See if INSP is available in your area. Or you can see the newest episode online at www.silencingchristians.com.

You can view the fourth episode for free on the Web, but you must register to watch the program. Heavy online traffic at www.silencingchristians.com may slow down your computer. If so, we advise you to come back later and watch it. The program will be available for viewing all week.

All three of the previous episodes are also available for you to watch at www.silencingchristians.com.

 

What is the meaning of Easter? Sunday, Mar 23 2008 

Christian 1idvet 08:19 am


While the focus was once on Easter Sunday, now it is on the Easter Bunny. But Easter Sunday is much more than a day of colorful plastic eggs and chocolate bunnies; it is in fact a day that left the world forever changed.

It had been three days since Jesus had received the death penalty by popular vote. His friends and followers were devastated, as they had come to believe that He was not just an ordinary man, but the Son of God. He had performed miracles, healed every disease, and even brought a man back from the dead.

On that third day—the day we now celebrate as Easter Sunday—His friends went to His grave, but instead of finding His body, they found an open tomb with no body in it. In fact, what they saw was an angel who told them, “Don’t be afraid! I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He has been raised from the dead, just as He said it would happen” (Matthew 28:5, 6).

Jesus rose from the dead on Easter Sunday; now He offers to you the gift of eternal life and forgiveness of sins. This is the true story of Easter, and this salvation is for you.

Happy Easter and God Bless you.
