John Calvin’s admirers agree that he wasn’t the most charming fellow at times (Calvin appears to have conceded that as well). But was he a heretic-burning maniac as he is often portrayed? Not quite.

Ayn Rand says “I told you so.” I found Atlas Shrugged tedious at times but amazingly accurate. It is funny to watch her haters try to dismiss anyone who agrees with her premise, but they ignore that she was pro-abortion. So do they think they are wrong on that topic? It is important to note that the government-creep goes on with Republicans, too.

Professional atheist Richard Dawkins was in his usual form lately, explaining why adultery is OK but investigating suspected adultery is really bad (Darwinism gives him an oddly precise moral compass!). Then he opined on the Bible as if he had actually read it and understood it. He tried to say that the New Testament writers didn’t seem to care if Jesus was real. He should start with 1 Corinthians 15 then read the rest of the passages mentioned in the post. No wonder he runs away from William Lane Craig!

Kevin DuJan from Hillbuzz has keen insights into the gay community and how aggressively hateful they are against Christians.

Yet another “hate hoax.” You don’t see the media reporting on these once the hoaxes are discovered. It is the same silence and cover-ups as with the pro-gay FRC shooter.

Via UCC Condemns Boy Scouts — shocking! By which I mean, not shocking at all.
This is one of those “I can’t believe we’re having this conversation” topics. Even if you are part of the apostate UCC or some random fake Christian who spouts pro-gay theology, you should see the wisdom of not having males who are attracted to males camping with boys.
Gee, what could possibly go wrong? Lawyers would have field days suing the Boy Scouts when abuses would occur (“They knowingly let gay men spend time alone on camping trips with boys — what were they thinking?! Please make that multi-million dollar, Boy Scout-bankrupting check out to ______”). It is about as logical as letting men camp with girls.
The one good thing about this topic is that those like the UCC are basically screaming out that they could care less about God’s word and common sense. They just want to advance the gay agenda and try to destroy the Scouts.
Then there is this shining example of love, tolerance and common sense: The Atlantic Wants to Kill Boy Scouts Like Rabid Dogs. But that definitely isn’t hate speech.

Pregnancies from rapes are difficult to address, but one solution that shouldn’t be considered is killing the innocent child. I’d entertain capital punishment for the rapist if Liberals want to advance that, but I don’t follow their knee-jerk reaction to kill the innocent. Post-abortion trauma is similar to post-rape trauma, so it isn’t like an abortion makes the rape go away.
And remember, your taxes help Planned Parenthood hide statutory rape. Abortions often hide the crimes of rape and incest.
