Pastor approves cursing your enemies – What an embarrassment. I wonder if this guy just took a major turn or if he slowly drifted into such doctrinal error? Ick.

I suppose it is a shade better than book burning, but I was surprised at how proudly and openly these Darwinists admitted to hiding Intelligent Design books in bookstores. Seems rather cowardly to me. I suppose their monopolies in public and higher education and the free ride by the MSM aren’t enough. This subset is even afraid to debate in the public square.
They love to trot out their Galileo story to perpetuate the “Christians are anti-science” canard, but they miss the larger point: It is the abuse of power that helps sustain wrong ideas, not the religious component. Rationalizing that they must hide “false” ideas from people is symptomatic of their fundamentalist materialist ideology.

Islam in Europe – this guy does a great job of addressing the cowering politicians there.

Free market principles and abortions were addressed in Freedomnomics. Supply and demand principles work everywhere. Legalized abortion makes sex appear to be less risky and less costly, so you get more of it. And more diseases, more emotional damage, more abortions and, ironically, more out-of-wedlock children.

Eternity Matters 
I’ve actually seen this stuff about moving things around in bookstores before. One blog is entirely dedicated to it…
if that isn’t paranoia about the truth I don’t know what is.

Wow! That is a good one Neil.
We should consider pulling the old switch-a-roo and put “Hell” related book in the Self-Help Section… or a “Happy Mother’s Day Card” right next to the Maxim Magazines…

About Pastor Drake – It seems he started a church for the sole purpose of promoting his political views. Sorry, can’t do that…
And then for him to sluff it off by saying “I’m just doing what God told me to do.” What a coward. He should have gone the Flip Wilson route and said “The Devil made me do it.”

Agreed. Far too many churches in my area tend to stray from the gospel to put forth political views. I am not saying that politics has no place in church. We should pray for our leaders (even, if not especially, the ones who’s politics we disagree with), but that does not mean a pastor should put forth political endorsements as though they are Gospel.

I confess that I hid “Pigs in the Parlor: The Practical Guide to Deliverance” in the Tattered Cover bookstore in downtown Denver, not long ago. (Authors Frank Hammond and Ida Mae Hammond).
It was on a shelf with serious books about seeking God’s will and trying to follow Jesus — and I, quite frankly, took it upon myself to move the Pigs book because it’s so over the top, comical even, that it could very turn away a serious seeker or otherwise cause them to laugh and turn away.
My bad? Maybe. I didn’t hide it real good. I just stuck it on a neaby shelf of pop-psychobabble.

I’ve been listening to a book on tape called “Inside the Jihad” about a Moroccan French spy who penetrated the Afghani terrorist training camps. It is truly amazing stuff. He talks about conversations he had in those camps where countless Algerian, Pakistani, and Middle-Eastern Arabs who were educated and formerly lived in Europe who prayed for and worked to achieve a Muslim Europe- with the Europeans wiped out.
He records their celebrations over the death of innocents after subway/rail bombings and and how Jihad was taught in the training camps. Amazing stuff.
Wow, that is eerie.
I was glancing at the blog of my favorite po-mo and he was saying how the real threat isn’t Islam or illegal immigration but the right wing of America. Sure.

I can’t see why so many Darwinists are so frightened of a few arguements. After all, if Darwinism is so true and so absolutely proven, then why not just let your opponents make fools of themselves for everybody to see.
It seems to me that this should apply to education as well, let’s just put all the facts on the table and let people decide.

Har de har har har. If arguing about what it means to be a Christian means we’re making fools of ourselves, then count me a fool. One of the biggest myths is that loving one another means we get along. Paul didn’t get along with Peter! Pshaw. The mark of a Christian community is real humility, which, to me, means the ability to say, I could be wrong. I count myself among the Christian community. The promise of “peace that passes all understanding,” by definition, can’t be defined. I accept that other Christians have it, if they seek it, and I declare that I have it, and sometimes I don’t understand it.
