“Is America Islamphobic?” — the ground zero mosque and freedom

The question on the cover of TIME Magazine is “Is America Islamphobic?”

Personally, I do not think so. America is phobic, or brave, in the face of anyone and everyone who wants to murder us and fundamentally change our way of life—for the worse:

Pro-life murderers

Darwinist murderers

Which Jesus?, Part 3 - The Three Sai Babas and New Age

Sri Sai Baba Of Shirdi:
“(This is a translation of a Telugu article that appeared a long time back in the Telugu daily ‘Eenadu’.) It is seventyfive years since the Mahasamadhi of a Great Soul worshipped by millions as an incarnation of Lord Sri Datta - Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi…Sai is not a religious teacher…He urged everyone to search and find the Divinity within themselves…

James Jay Lee - the Discovery Channel and environmentalist misanthropy

In his article Discovery Channel Gunman James Jay Lee Was No Terrorist, psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow states of James Jay Lee—the man who took hostages and was untimately gunned down at the Discovery Channel building—“My guess is that James Lee had become hostage to a psychiatric disorder long before he took hostages.”

Indeed, that seems like the case:

Debate 101: the Schooling of Dan Barker

I think that the only thing to be said is that this speaks for itself…

No this little clip does not get to the substance, the meat, of the debate with James White (of Alpha and Omega Ministries) but it is just quite the oddity especially considering that Dan Barker has engaged in hundreds of debates.

Glenn Beck – politics and theology, Mormonism and Christianity

I have been contemplating issues Glenn Beck related as of late, particularly with regards to his recent Washington DC gathering.
Gregg, of the blog Gospel-Driven Disciples, recently posted Glenn Beck: The Usurping of the Christian Agenda and this seemed a good opportunity to play off of his musing, some of which follows:

Church – What is wrong with this picture?

"Atheist doctors 'more likely to hasten death'"

The UK Guardian’s health editor, Sarah Boseley, wrote the following article with regards to the fact that worldviews has consequences. In this case, literal life and death consequences.

Terminally-ill patients would be well advised to find out the religious beliefs of their doctor, according to research showing the effect of faith on a doctor's willingness to make decisions that could hasten death.

Opposers of the ground zero mosque likened to the Ku Klux Klan

Mariano 09/03/2010 - 9:57am

Since Adam Kokesh is a radio talk show (which air on Albuquerque station 1550 AM) it is hard to know when to take him seriously as you suspect that any minute that flower on his lapel will squirt water at you. Recently, “Adam Kokesh of Santa Fe lost to Tom Mullins of Farmington for the Republican nomination for the 3rd Congressional District seat” he is described as a “young, libertarian ex-Marine”: Lately he's been weighing in on the "ground zero Mosque" controversy. And, as was the case during the primary campaign, Kokesh cannot be described as a...

Mother Teresa - ignored and hated

Mariano 09/02/2010 - 6:52am

Albuquerque’s KRQE News reports, “A year of events honoring Mother Teresa is kicking off in India Thursday, on the 100th anniversary of her birth.” It is surely to the glory of God that his servants are so often utterly hated and ignored by the world. On the other hand, what sort of examples do we want popularized in the media and pop-culture? Tiger Woods, Paris Hilton, Mark Sanford, et al. or Mother Teresa? The The Associated Press reports on the latest attempt to forget the saintly in “Empire State Bldg unlit for Mother Teresa’s b’day”: Many New...

Baha'i sectarianism

Mariano 09/01/2010 - 7:42am

An undated press release serves as an advertizing of sorts for Joel B. Marangella who is “recognized by the Orthodox Baha'i Faith as the third guardian of the Baha'i Faith, the authorized interpreter of the Faith's writings and, as guardian, according to 'Abdu'l-Baha’s Will and Testament, to be the sacred head for life of the Universal House of Justice when it comes into being in its proper form.”[1] From its very inception the Baha'ism has suffered from sects, denominations, isms, schisms and offshoots of various sorts. The Baha'i Faith...

Flight attendant focus on the family, grabs kid away from parent

Mariano 08/28/2010 - 6:53am

As reported by Sue Major Holmes, “Flight attendant takes baby seen slapped by mom,” KATU.com, Aug 18, 2010, copyright 2010 Fisher Communications, Inc. ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - America's latest folk-hero flight attendant may be the one on a Southwest Airlines jet who took a 13-month-old baby from her mother after the woman slapped the crying child for kicking her. The flight attendant's actions, however, set off an intense debate: When and how should bystanders intervene? "We live in such a 'mind your own business' and `I'll sue you for getting involved&...

Global Forgiveness Day - Christianity and atheism

Mariano 08/27/2010 - 6:37am

Today marks “Global Forgiveness Day.” It is fascinating that one would conceive of any such a thing as “Global Forgiveness” and allot a day to its practice. This verifies that the concept of forgiveness is generally promulgated throughout. The Bible indicates that one can be forgiven by Jesus paying for their sins. This does not mean that God simply says, “As for your sins…well…just forget about them, no big deal.” Consider the following illustrations of justice, mercy and grace (generally speaking): You are speeding and get pulled over by a...

"Deputy, Concert Protestors Conflict Caught On Tape"

Mariano 08/25/2010 - 2:51pm

Albuquerque's KOAT News has reported on the atheist and homophobic ranting of Deputy Jim Goff: BERNALILLO COUNTY, N.M. -- A Bernalillo County sheriff's deputy is caught on video getting a little too personal. He escorted a religious group protesting a rock concert away from the event about a week ago and let everyone know exactly how he felt. A religious group called the Watchman for Christ showed up to protest the Rob Zombie concert on July 17 at the Pavilion amphitheater. A YouTube video showed crowds lined up outside the pavilion during the Mayhem Festival. The protesting group...

"Cops & Metal Heads Gang Up On Christians: 'There Is No Jesus!'"

Mariano 08/21/2010 - 8:01am

On the atheist activist, Deputy Jim Goff, fracas Greg Hengler noted the following: Substitute these Christians with Mexican protesters and replace the anti-Christian opinions from the Sheriff's Deputy with anti-Mexican ones. Would you not see this clip run for the umpteenth time on MSNBC and CNN today? I repeat the sentiments of our Commander in Chief: "The police acted stupidly."[1] This reflects previously reported sentiments: One can only imagine what would have come of it if, for example, it was a Christian cop who shoved his beliefs down the throats of Muslim...
