War on Christianity?

nobody@vox.com(theway2k) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 16:46:28 -0500

Okay let us try to at least pretend to be observant.

Secular Humanism under the guise of moral relativist organizations have been warring against Christianity, against Christian morality and the Christian inspiration for the rule of law in America for over half a century. Some of my fellow zealots may even place this Leftist war on Christianity at an even greater length of time, but I personally don’t have the time to do the research to pin point Secular Humanistic slow erosive acts against Christianity in America. Let us just say that legal actions that would have been unthinkable fifty years ago are becoming common in this early part of the 21^st century.

Just a few days ago I posted about a Christian business was fined over six-thousand dollars for refusing to do a photo op for a same sex union ceremony in New Mexico. Evidently the State of New Mexico has made State level anti-discriminatory laws which unconstitutionally override the Federal Law in the First Amendment in which is stated specifically that Congress shall make no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion (thereof).

Let’s see if I can find some anti-Christian legal battles either instituted by the Government, the ACLU or the various deviant homosexual rights organizations (not necessarily in order).

Navy Lt Gordon James Klingenschmitt was court-martialed and booted out of the Navy for praying in the NAME OF JESUS.

Tyler Chase Harper in 2003 chose to wear tee shirts that said “I will not accept what God has condemned” and “Be ashamed, our school has embraced what God has condemned.” The Poway Unified School District chose to punish Harper for expressing Constitutional First Amendment Right to freely exercise his religious beliefs.

Mohammedans are provided special rooms and/or occasions to pray in Public and Collegiate level schools; however Brittany McComb was prevented from giving her Valedictorian speech in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2006 because it was known she was going to express her faith in Jesus Christ.

In 2007 the American Family Association sends out an Action Alert about the Senate and the House of Representatives working on legislation that would Pastoral or Ministerial sermons on the sinfulness of homosexuality a hate crime.

Here we are AGAIN with the Day of Silence garbage in 2008 in which many Public Schools across the nation will force student to learn that homosexuality and transgender lifestyles are not deviant. This is happening with impunity knowing the big money for litigation is with the homosexuals via homosexual organizations and especially the ACLU (the King pen of anti-Christianity).

I could on and on; nonetheless I have to mention Secular Humanist war against one of the most Holy Days of Christianity – Christmas. Way too many corporate store chains are falling into the same pit the Left has forced the government into, viz. censoring Christmas because it is Christian. The big Capitalists (and I not against Capitalism) want to be Leftie Politically Correct and make their Christmas dough at the same time. Every Christmas comes a controversy: no Santas; no Salvation Army bell ringers, the replacement of “Merry Christmas” with “Merry X-mas” or “Happy Holidays” and so on.

Is there a war on Christianity in America? You’re darn toot’in!

The latest stupidity in battling Christianity is an ACLU legal win in banning a quarter century school tradition of praying before Football Games at East Brunswick High School located in New Jersey. The Coach even tried to accommodate the ACLU by refraining from verbal prayer but having a student lead in a moment of silent prayer. The Court said NO!

Repudiate Homosexual Indoctrination in Public Schools

nobody@vox.com(theway2k) — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 12:22:57 -0500

This is another example of the State battling Faith and Christian American foundations in particular. A Homosexual moment of silence is being forced on Public School students to brain wash acceptance of Homosexual and other alternate lifestyles. Talk about a joint agenda, this is the will of atheists, homosexuals, secular humanists, moral relativists and Leftists in America and in Western Society. The agenda is to scrap Judeo-Christian based morality. I am certain many of those agenda persuasion sorts are unaware of the damage to social mores this is causing. The more the government removes Judeo-Christian values from our society the more our society becomes untrusting, dishonest, violent, thieving and hedonistic. Is that an America we wish to live in?

Listen to David Barton

nobody@vox.com(theway2k) — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 16:58:55 -0500

God_bless_america

David Barton is an influential person in Evangelical circles in getting out the Christian view of American History. His mission is to energize Christians to reestablish a Christian political influence in America based on a history of “its constitutional, moral, and religious foundations.” The base of Barton’s mission in life is delivered through the organization known as Wall Builders.

The Wall Builders “about” page is huge in defining its purpose and goals. Here is the Overview paragraph on the “about” page:

WallBuilders is an organization dedicated to presenting America's forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on the moral, religious, and constitutional foundation on which America was built-a foundation which, in recent years, has been seriously attacked and undermined. In accord with what was so accurately stated by George Washington, we believe that "the propitious [favorable] smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation which disregards the eternal rules of order and right which heaven itself has ordained."

Slanted Left critics of Barton disdain his credentials because his earned academic degree is a Bachelor Degree from a private Christian university – Oral Roberts University. The intimidated Left spew criticism indicating only a PhD can only be considered an expert. You know like the Professor (no PhD) wacko Ward Churchill who has been academically discredited and fired.

Leftists hold plagiarist Churchill in high regard yet disdain Barton who backs his conclusions with documents. Indeed Leftist watch dog People for the American Way heap academic weakness on Barton citing Barton’s own website and Slanted Right organization as resource proof of historical ineptitude yet not providing one iota of substantial citation to disprove Barton’s assertions. The fact is the Left revise history to punch a square peg into a round hole of secular humanistic relativism while the people like Barton back up history with documentation.

Now I have stated my reasons for validating David Barton to set up a must read essay of his I found at a Christian Ministry website known as Visionary Advancement Strategies at an InJesus Group. The essay presents the foundation as to why Christians should engage in politics because politics has removed the Biblical foundations that have made America strong.

The Michael Glatze Story

nobody@vox.com(theway2k) — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 10:53:38 -0500

Michael Glatze with Judy Shephard (Harvard U photo)

One of the greatest hindrances to American society today is the Secular Humanist model promoted by so-called progressive minded people as the modern lifestyle of the ages. Secular Humanism views Christianity (and religion in general) as a set of archaic thought patterns that should be utilized as only to what relative to the present. Thus Christian Morality has good points and bad points depending to what is relevant to an individual’s lifestyle and how Christian Morality may affect the wholeness of secular egalitarianism. So furthermore deviant behavior vis-a-vie Christian Morality is deemed normal.

Homosexuality is one of these deviant lifestyles that Christian Morality deems as sinful while Secular Humanism deems normal as relative to today’s standards of life. The agenda of Secular Humanism (and homosexual activists) is to undermine Christianity in order for society to accept sin as normal rather than a cultural cancer that depraves society from within.

This is why I am excited to read that one of the leading homosexual activists has forsaken the homosexual lifestyle in favor of a Redeemed Victorious Lifestyle in Christ. That former homosexual activist is Michael Glatze.

How a 'gay rights' leader became straight

By Michael Glatze

Posted: July 3, 2007 1:00 a.m. Eastern

WorldNetDaily

Homosexuality came easy to me, because I was already weak.

My mom died when I was 19. My father had died when I was 13. At an early age, I was already confused about who I was and how I felt about others.

My confusion about "desire" and the fact that I noticed I was "attracted" to guys made me put myself into the "gay" category at age 14. At age 20, I came out as gay to everybody else around me.

At age 22, I became an editor of the first magazine aimed at a young, gay male audience. It bordered on pornography in its photographic content, but I figured I could use it as a platform to bigger and better things.

Sure enough, Young Gay America came around. It was meant to fill the void that the other magazine I'd worked for had created – namely, anything not-so-pornographic, aimed at the population of young, gay Americans. Young Gay America took off.

Gay people responded happily to Young Gay America. It received awards, recognition, respectability and great honors, including the National Role Model Award from major gay organization Equality Forum – which was given to Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien a year later – and a whole host of appearances in the media, from PBS to the Seattle Times, from MSNBC to the cover story in Time magazine.

I produced, with the help of PBS-affiliates and Equality Forum, the first major documentary film to tackle gay teen suicide, "Jim In Bold," which toured the world and received numerous "best in festival" awards.

Young Gay America created a photo exhibit, full of photographs and stories of gay youth all across the North American continent, which toured Europe, Canada and parts of the United States.

Young Gay America launched YGA Magazine in 2004, to pretend to provide a "virtuous counterpart" to the other newsstand media aimed at gay youth. I say "pretend" because the truth was, YGA was as damaging as anything else out there, just not overtly pornographic, so it was more "respected."

It took me almost 16 years to discover that homosexuality itself is not exactly "virtuous." It was difficult for me to clarify my feelings on the issue, given that my life was so caught up in it.

Homosexuality, delivered to young minds, is by its very nature pornographic. It destroys impressionable minds and confuses their developing sexuality; I did not realize this, however, until I was 30 years old.

YGA Magazine sold out of its first issue in several North American cities. There was extreme support, by all sides, for YGA Magazine; schools, parent groups, libraries, governmental associations, everyone seemed to want it. It tapped right into the zeitgeist of "accepting and promoting" homosexuality, and I was considered a leader. I was asked to speak on the prestigious JFK Jr. Forum at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government in 2005.

It was, after viewing my words on a videotape of that "performance," that I began to seriously doubt what I was doing with my life and influence.

Knowing no one who I could approach with my questions and my doubts, I turned to God; I'd developed a growing relationship with God, thanks to a debilitating bout with intestinal cramps caused by the upset stomach-inducing behaviors I'd been engaged in.

Soon, I began to understand things I'd never known could possibly be real, such as the fact that I was leading a movement of sin and corruption – which is not to sound as though my discovery was based on dogma, because decidedly it was not.

I came to the conclusions on my own.

It became clear to me, as I really thought about it – and really prayed about it – that homosexuality prevents us from finding our true self within. We cannot see the truth when we're blinded by homosexuality.

We believe, under the influence of homosexuality, that lust is not just acceptable, but a virtue. But there is no homosexual "desire" that is apart from lust.

In denial of this fact, I'd fought to erase such truth at all costs, and participated in the various popular ways of taking responsibility out of human hands for challenging the temptations of lust and other behaviors. I was sure – thanks to culture and world leaders – that I was doing the right thing.

Driven to look for truth, because nothing felt right, I looked within. Jesus Christ repeatedly advises us not to trust anybody other than Him. I did what He said, knowing that the Kingdom of God does reside in the heart and mind of every man.

What I discovered – what I learned – about homosexuality was amazing. How I'd first "discovered" homosexual desires back in high school was by noticing that I looked at other guys. How I healed, when it became decidedly clear that I should – or risk hurting more people – is that I paid attention to myself.

Every time I was tempted to lust, I noticed it, caught it, dealt with it. I called it what it was, and then just let it disappear on its own. A huge and vital difference exists between superficial admiration – of yourself, or others – and integral admiration. In loving ourselves fully, we no longer need anything from the "outside" world of lustful desire, recognition from others, or physical satisfaction. Our drives become intrinsic to our very essence, unbridled by neurotic distractions.

Homosexuality allows us to avoid digging deeper, through superficiality and lust-inspired attractions – at least, as long as it remains "accepted" by law. As a result, countless miss out on their truest self, their God-given Christ-self.

Homosexuality, for me, began at age 13 and ended – once I "cut myself off" from outside influences and intensely focused on inner truth – when I discovered the depths of my God-given self at age 30.

God is regarded as an enemy by many in the grip of homosexuality or other lustful behavior, because He reminds them of who and what they truly are meant to be. People caught in the act would rather stay "blissfully ignorant" by silencing truth and those who speak it, through antagonism, condemnation and calling them words like "racist," "insensitive," "evil" and "discriminatory.

Healing from the wounds caused by homosexuality is not easy – there's little obvious support. What support remains is shamed, ridiculed, silenced by rhetoric or made illegal by twisting of laws. I had to sift through my own embarrassment and the disapproving "voices" of all I'd ever known to find it. Part of the homosexual agenda is getting people to stop considering that conversion is even a viable question to be asked, let alone whether or not it works.

In my experience, "coming out" from under the influence of the homosexual mindset was the most liberating, beautiful and astonishing thing I've ever experienced in my entire life.

Lust takes us out of our bodies, "attaching" our psyche onto someone else's physical form. That's why homosexual sex – and all other lust-based sex – is never satisfactory: It's a neurotic process rather than a natural, normal one. Normal is normal – and has been called normal for a reason.

Abnormal means "that which hurts us, hurts normal." Homosexuality takes us out of our normal state, of being perfectly united in all things, and divides us, causing us to forever pine for an outside physical object that we can never possess.

Homosexual people – like all people – yearn for the mythical true love, which does actually exist. The problem with homosexuality is that true love only comes when we have nothing preventing us from letting it shine forth from within. We cannot fully be ourselves when our minds are trapped in a cycle and group-mentality of sanctioned, protected and celebrated lust.

God came to me when I was confused and lost, alone, afraid and upset. He told me – through prayer – that I had nothing at all to be afraid of, and that I was home; I just needed to do a little house cleaning in my mind.

I believe that all people, intrinsically, know the truth. I believe that is why Christianity scares people so much. It reminds them of their conscience, which we all possess.

Conscience tells us right from wrong and is a guide by which we can grow and become stronger and freer human beings. Healing from sin and ignorance is always possible, but the first thing anyone must do is get out of the mentalities that divide and conquer humanity.

Sexual truth can be found, provided we're all willing and driven to accept that our culture sanctions behaviors that harm life. Guilt should be no reason to avoid the difficult questions.

Homosexuality took almost 16 years of my life and compromised them with one lie or another, perpetuated through national media targeted at children. In European countries, homosexuality is considered so normal that grade-school children are being provided "gay" children's books as required reading in public schools.

Poland, a country all-too familiar with the destruction of its people by outside influences, is bravely attempting to stop the European Union from indoctrinating its children with homosexual propaganda. In response, the European Union has called the prime minister of Poland "repulsive."

I was repulsive for quite some time; I am still dealing with all of my guilt.

As a leader in the "gay rights" movement, I was given the opportunity to address the public many times. If I could take back some of the things I said, I would. Now I know that homosexuality is lust and pornography wrapped into one. I'll never let anybody try to convince me otherwise, no matter how slick their tongues or how sad their story. I have seen it. I know the truth.

God gave us truth for a reason. It exists so we could be ourselves. It exists so we could share that perfect self with the world, to make the perfect world. These are not fanciful schemes or strange ideals – these are the Truth.

Healing from the sins of the world will not happen in an instant; but, it will happen – if we don't pridefully block it. God wins in the end, in case you didn't know.

The Democratic Party Attack on Christianity

nobody@vox.com(theway2k) — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 14:23:58 -0500

Jesus Wanted for Hate Crimes

The attack on Christianity in America is on the increase. Democrats have introduced legislation (similar posts HERE and HERE) that will make the preaching and teaching and sharing of Biblical Christianity a hate crime. Democrats in droves in Congress are the prime movers of this legislation. The same Democrats that the majority of the American electorate put into the majority in Congress over disillusionment with President Bush will put their Pastors and Evangelists in jail. Americans have given Congress authority to validate homosexuality and the religion of our enemy (Mohammedanism) to enjoy government favor at the suppression of Christianity.

Friends this is an Unconstitutional Bill that challenges the First Amendment of the Constitution. The wording is mired in non-religious terms to disguise the implications to practicing Christians, which is legislating religious speech that comes from a Christian pulpit or forum.

Bob Unruh goes into the specifics of how Christians are being made the bull’s-eye by the Democratic Party legislation.

Gideons facing charges for being on public land

nobody@vox.com(theway2k) — Sun, 01 Apr 2007 13:58:20 -0500

Gideon's 300. Tiss

Secular Humanist bureaucrats are ratcheting up their attack on Christianity. Two men from Gideon’s International (the guys that put Bibles in motel rooms) were arrested for distributing Bibles to children on a public side walk adjacent to school property. They were NOT on school property.

Clearly government and Secular Humanist Christophobia are expanding its persecution of Christianity hindering Constitutional right to free speech.
