Thoughts on the World

Cartoon Angst?

Coloradoconservative.com has an excellent piece on the continuing debacle played out by the religious mis-fit. Dennis Prager at townhall.com also has some good ideas about the whole idea of freedom of speech that we as Americans have fought, bled for and protected for over two centuries. And as a Christian, American, and a crusader of sorts, I believe that we should respect the religion of Islam, as well as Hinduism, Budhism, Satanism, and every other religion out there that has adherents to its precepts. Oh, did I forget CHRISTIANITY! How dare me forget the very God of existence and salvation in my roll call of beings to be worshipped and adored. But to me it seems that Christianity has not only been put on the back burner for many years, but seen as a source and point of contention, ridicule and abject blasphemy. That isn’t what really bothers me though. What really gets under my skin is that the very people who have denied God and His existence for many, many years are falling all over themselves trying to prostate their-selves towards Mecca. Why, because a religious cult might have nuclear weapons and in lieu of annihilation we should bow to the old God become new. I don’t think so.
It makes my heart glad to know that the liberals and atheists aren’t so hard hearted after all. But may I postulate that with all of the antagonism toward Christianity, and if Christianity is the “way to God and heaven”, then whatever is not Christ centered isn’t from God or going to Heaven. With this being said, The religion of Islam isn’t just a juxtaposition of Isaac and Ishmael, but an enemy of God, and if, therefore an enemy of God, an enemy to half of the America or better that does believe in Him.

With that being said let me submit a corollary. Had this been before the death and resurrection of Christ, I imagine that we would have a mandate to wipe out the Infidel, taking no prisoners and leaving nothing of theirs to be found or used. But with the advent of the resurrection we have a new mandate. Christ said that there is no way to the Father except through Him and that he who believed on Him should have everlasting life. He also said that He did not come to earth to condemn its people but to save them and grant them an eternal life with the Father. He goes to His fathers house to prepare a place for us. The last I checked, this implied in no way that we should annihilate any other religion but offer to every being on this earth the grace and love that God himself shows to all people.

There are those that would submit that Islam is a peaceful religion. Peace is accomplished through a sense of self-worth and security that comes from knowing the Fathers heart. With the current state of affairs in the State of Islam, I have to wonder who their father really is.

And Then There Were Three.

Through a Looking Glass

For those of the world who have seen the movie “Fight Club”, or read the book that it
was based on, this may not seem so incredible.  Or maybe you have just been paying attention to the increasing number of so called rogue institutions that have cropped up since say, oh, World War 2.  What is amazing though, is that it seems that there are a couple of options here.  Either nobody of consequence is actually paying attention, or, it is taking a bureaucratically and purgatorial amount of time to profligate a policy of protection against the possibilities of perpetual border sniping and infiltration.

Take a look at these articles and see if they come together for you as they did for me…
