"In fact, when it comes to banning books, religion is the worst reason of the lot. Religion, uncontaminated by power, can be the source of a great deal of private solace, artistic inspiration and moral wisdom. But when it gets its hands on the levers of political or social authority, it goes rotten very quickly indeed. "

Pretty awesome dude!
They do that at some major surf comps. In South Africa they get the local Xhosa Warriors to come pray a blessing over the sea and surf contest. Sometimes you just wish the ocean to go dead flat and offer no waves during the duration of the competition, but usually the opposite happens, the surf is great and the competition goes well. The major competitons being held in the winter surf season is the obvious reason for the surf being good, because the winter brings cold fronts up the coast with big swell and the right wind direction. With the Xhosa Warriors being thanked afterwards as if they really did provide the good surf is quite annoying. They offer a great cultural experience, but that's about it.

--Posters that the British Humanist Association plans to use to advertise on London buses starting in January, quoted by The Washington Post. Really annoying isn't it?! Even they themselves are unsure whether God exists or not. I decided to visit their website, they openly mock the Scirptures, in this case Leviticus 19:28, their chief executive is planning to get a tattoo of their logo, the size of the tattoo will be determined by the amount of donations received. Also, this bus campaign is titled Atheist Bus Campaign! I think the UK transport support might suffer as a result. Matthew 18:6-7 "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it is better for him that a millstone be hung around his neck, and that he be drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of stumbling-blocks! For it is necessary that stumbling-blocks come, but woe to that man by whom the stumbling-block comes!"

I asked Yada where this organization would find the funding to advertise such a message. Yada responded simply, "The Fabian Society." Here's a description from the Wikipedia: Quote:The Fabian Society is a British intellectual socialist movement, whose purpose is to advance the principles of Social democracy via gradualist and reformist, rather than revolutionary means. It is best known for its initial ground-breaking work beginning late in the 19th century and continuing up to World War I. The society laid many of the foundations of the Labour Party and subsequently affected the policies of states emerging from the decolonisation of the British Empire, especially India. Today, the society is a vanguard "think tank" of the centre-left New Labour movement. It is one of 15 socialist societies affiliated to the Labour Party. Similar societies exist in Australia (the Australian Fabian Society), Canada (the Douglas-Coldwell Foundation and in past the League for Social Reconstruction) and New Zealand. The Wikipedia page is here. |

I really don't see how that could be a reason I SHOULDN'T worry. I think I'd be worring a lot more if I thought that was the case. I mean, the international economy is shot, wealth distributions seem to be stratifying rapidly, and large numbers of people are out for our blood and the little time we would have in a Godless world just because some 7th century brigand told them to be so. Mankind and nature don't really allow us to stop worrying. I shudder to think what this world would be like without Yahuweh. I sincerely doubt that ANYBODY would be able to "enjoy their life." Wait---they wouldn't have one anyway...

Quote:Deuteronomy says if your kid doesn't follow your God, kill 'em. No, "These are the Words" says if you children are against ""YAHUWEH"" have them killed. I think it was more than not follow, and I know it was directed only at YAHUWEH. |

A few more quotes: Quote:Thursday, November 20, 2008
"You know, I didn't live -- and none of us did -- during the time of Jesus. But I like to believe that the Jesus I love, the Jesus I pray to, didn't just talk about being a shepherd. He knew that the role of the shepherd was to bring the flock in -- all of the flock, every one of us.” "
--Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, speaking at a protest against California’s Proposition 8, which overturned marriage rights for same-sex couples. Quote:Wednesday, November 19, 2008
"Jonestown is no longer the first thing on my mind, but I would be lying if I said I don't think of it often. A car backfiring or the sound of fireworks or a violent scene in a movie hits me much like the truck I thought ran over me while lying on that tarmac. "
--Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., recalling her trip as a congressional aide during an investigation of the Peoples Temple in Jonestown in 1978, when she was attacked by followers of Jim Jones, who were massacred in a tragedy 30 years ago. The sensation of being run over by a truck was actually the first of five bullets that tore her flesh. She wrote about her memories in the San Francisco Chronicle. |

I like how his statement has no logical coherance. Messiah can't very well "bring the flock in" by letting them scatter wherever they please, can He? While Mayor Villaraigosa would be right in stating that Yahushua would love to bring in "every one of us" why does he then assume that he's going to do it against people's will AND His own standards? "I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." Luke 15:7 The operative word there being "repent." "On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."" And here He is coming as a doctor to cure people. If they refuse the doctor's cure, then what can the doctor do for them? And finally... Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin." Why does everybody preach the first part of that and ignore part 2?

A few more quotes: Quote:Wednesday, November 26, 2008
"The way forward for theological education will be deeply interfaith, or it will fail. The fact is our lives are now interfaith, in bone-deep ways. We live in interfaith families; we eat Middle Eastern food for lunch, kosher for dinner. ... We have hymns on our iPods, yoga mats in our backpacks, Torah prayers by our bedsides. "
--The Rev. Serene Jones, president of Union Theological Seminary in New York, in her inaugural address on Nov. 17.

"It's like someone who has announced he's an alcoholic and they've got that under control and are dry now. You don't want to chance putting them back in the situation where it could happen again. "
--David Neff, editor in chief of Christianity Today magazine and a member of the executive committee of the National Association of Evangelicals, quoted by the Associated Press about how former NAE president Ted Haggard should not return to ministry too soon, if ever. Haggard, a former megachurch pastor who was involved in a sex and drug scandal two years ago, reappeared in a pulpit on Nov. 2. |

New 'Bible': Heterosexuality is sin
'There are many different versions; I don't see why we can't have one'
Posted: December 02, 2008
9:25 pm Eastern
© 2008 WorldNetDaily
A filmmaker who recently released an independent project about a formula that turns all heterosexuals into "gays" now has announced he's working on "The Princess Diana Bible" in which "God" ordains homosexuality as the better lifestyle.
"There are many different versions of the Bible; I don't see why we can't have one," stated Max Mitchell in a statement on a website for his new project. Does this go under Translations; Quotes; or Twilight Zone??? This is hilarious... read onQuote:He said it's named "The Princess Diana Bible" because of Diana's "many good works." Quote:In Mitchell's version, Genesis talks about Aida and Eve: |
“Because he clings to Me, is joined to Me, loves and delights in Me, desires Me, therefore I will deliver him, carry him safely away, cause him to escape from harm making him inaccessible and strong, and delivering him safely to heaven, because he has known, observed, cared for, recognized, instructed and advised others to use, designated, acknowledged, discerned, answered in, My name, authority, character, report, mark, and nature." Psalm 91:14 |

"When will this unconscionable disparity touch our hearts? When will it begin to dawn on us that the widening gap between the haves and the have-nots is a subject worthy of our passion?

"Tolerance, respect, and trust are always two-way streets, and tolerance respect and trust often do not include agreement, or even approval. We need to be able to disagree without being disagreeable. ... We need to stop hurling names like `bigot' and `pervert' at each other. And we need to stop it now. "
