A Comment On The Bible

I wrote this on the comment page of gomedome's blog "Shoot A Non-Beleiver For Jesus", regarding his post " At what point in our history as a species do we discard the Bible?" and thought I would just share it with everyone, see if it might spark some type of debate. Please, only Marquis of... Sign in to see full entry.

Musings On Jesus' Second Coming

I was wandering through DarrkeThoughts posts a while ago and saw some interesting thoughts on what Jesus' second visit would be like. After reading a few comments, I thought about it and I came up with this, which I also posted on DarrkeThoughts blog. For those of you who might night get to that... Sign in to see full entry.

Bible Bussing?

In the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia along Interstate 81, known as Virginia's "Bible Belt," it is not uncommon for K-3rd grade schoochildren to be bussed to a local church for lessons on and from the Bible. Teaching from the Bible has been going on since 1929, when parents and the schooboards were... Sign in to see full entry.

Most Inspiring

Beliefnet.com named Pat Tillman, the Arizona Cardinal that forsook a multi-million dollar contract in professional football to volunteer for military service after September 11th and later become an Army Ranger, only to die in April of last year in Afghanistan, a victim of friendly fire, as their...

Taking 'Christ' Out Of 'Christmas'

A teacher in Como, Italy, told her Muslim schootchildren that it would be okay to substiute the word 'virtue' in place of 'Jesus' in a Christmas carol and sparked a nationwide controversy in the predominantly Catholic country. As you can expect, religion is a hot topic in Italy, considering... Sign in to see full entry.

Virgin Mary Sandwich Pulled Off EBay

Ya know, people can see, read, and interpret anything into and out of anything. Like spontaneously bleeding statues. Like Richard Nixon's face in an unusually contoured potato. Like all these unusual weather patterns being harbingers of the end of the world. Like the image of Jesus in the Shroud of... Sign in to see full entry.

Pure Evil Incarnate

People are always looking for the evil, the bad amongst us. It is no different in Dorothy's Kansas as it is in decadent Washington. But back to Kansas. The Westboro Baptist Church may be the most abhorrent rendering of Christianity I have seen outside those morons behind Aryan Nations and the Ku... Sign in to see full entry.

Mass Marketing Unadultered Literary Crap

It is no secret that I despise the Left Behind series by Timothy LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. It is a monstrously compiled soap opera of the end of days that assaults your literary sensibilities like a hammer to the face. Not only is it literary garbage written on the level of maybe a fifth grader, but... Sign in to see full entry.

Holiday For Children Or Promoting The Devil?

An Associated Press story out of Newnan, Georgia, is claiming that a lot of Bible Belt communities are having problems trying to reconcile allowing their children to have fun on Halloween just as long as they don't celebrate it on Halloween. Sound crazy? Of course, it does. The problem arises from... Sign in to see full entry.

John The Revelator Must Be A-Spinning In The Grave

Russian and Israeli officials announced today that their security forces would conduct joint anti-terrorist training exercises. There seems to be a more cooperative atmosphere between the two nations since the recent terror attacks within Russia. If you have read your Bible, or had it preached at...
