Gary DeMar on The Morally Bankrupt Atheist Agenda
I like how he explains the consequences, or dangers of pornography, those things that come as a result of distribution of pornographic material ... it leads to abuse of children, it leads to the rape of women, it leads to incest. Like Gary says, it creates a 'bubble around individuals who have or may attain an unrealistic visual of sexual relations. The primary thing, is that it is the sexual objectification of women. A sure ticket to the destruction of a happy healthy family.
Gary is an intelligent person, and I highly commend him in the work that he does in exposing the far left and the factions that make up the far left, which can be broken down into two basic groups - atheists and homosexuals. Of course, all homosexuals are atheists, but not all atheists are homosexuals ... however, overall, as Gary explained, in the atheist worldview there is no objective morality ... I mean, birds have better sense than most atheists have.
Getting back to the pornographic aspect of this thread ... this is one aspect of atheism, as there are many other practices, and or philosophies which fall under the same heading-atheism. So, pornography is just one aspect of atheism. Pornography is probably one if not the single most effective destroyer of life in the atheist's arsenal of weaponry. So many people think that the women who get caught up in pornography are the "victims" ... well, that' not entirely the case, but women do put themselves in a highly risky business when doing porn shoots and movies for a "job."
Men must not be left out of the victim equation, because they too indeed, become victims...especially those men who become sex addicts. A severe level of brain-damage occurs with sustained levels of epinephrine going into the blood-stream...this chemical is released when excited or frightened in varying amounts, depending on the level of excitement or fear, and it is meant to prepare one to fight or flee the scene, it's like instinct...it puts more blood to the lower extremities, to prepare one to run, in essence ... so that is a healthy thing, in a sense. But there are times when it is not so healthy, such as when lust becomes a factor, looking at pornographic material in a book or magazine, or watching pornographic films/channels on the television, or on the Internet. The combination of epinephrine, and the image works to cut a channel into the brain so that eventually, that is the only part of the brain that works, the part surrounding those images that have been stored into it, while the other parts of the brain become atrophied altogether so that that person cannot function in a normal way, or have a normal life.
So, yeah, men become victims to this terrible fate of damage done to their brain through the viewing of pornography. Not to forget, also, that pornography is the leading cause of family break-ups. Wives feel rejected due to their husbands looking at other women through the various means of objectifying them. Many broken hearts can be accredited to the atheists pornography, and likewise souls spending eternity in a hell that burns without ceasing.
God help our country. If you know of a friend who is addicted to this horrible atheistic disease, please try to encourage them and help them to break free from it.
God bless you, and thank you for reading today!

Postmodernism: What is it?
It seems as though there is an endless supply of knowledge in the realm of philosophy, enough so, that one could spend their entire lifetime pursuing them, but at the end of the day there is only one that will remain the absolute truth. In an age riddled and ransacked by lies, we begin to wonder how long America will be able to stand before turning back to truth.
Where does Postmodernism fit into the picture?
First of all, I became familiar with postmodernism only about 4 months ago ... A missionary came to our Church and was discussing the dangers of it with some of the other Church members and leaders who attend. It hit me pretty hard after it all had time to sink in, and I realized the impact that it was having on young people across the nation, as we can see the fruits of it on full display - a sin-sick world, and getting worse by the day. Our system of public education is the purveyor of postmodernism, and the teachers therein, all atheists are the ones who put postmodernism into practice.
Now, you may be thinking, "If your purpose is to slam the public system of education, then I'm not interested in what you have to say," and I would say to that, 'If you only knew how dangerous postmodernism is, you would spend less time defending it, and more time fighting it with every ounce of strength left in your body.
So, down to the nitty-gritty, what is it? What is postmodernism?
Most postmodernists don't like to put a definition on it, because that would destroy the progression of it, and thus, the freedom to define things from a humanistic, fleshly point of reference in the present time and condition would be lost. In other words, the postmodernist's goal is to make everything subjective to what happens at this time and place, in total disregard for the past. "The past doesn't apply, because this is what is happening now ... things have changed since they last were."
I'm now going to put, you, my readers subject to the postmodernist's worldview - Let us say you are accustomed to doing things a certain way, because it has worked for you, and for your ancestors that go back centuries ... something that you wish to not change, simply because it has always been beneficial to you, and those before you ... Let us now assume that on any given day, a person comes up to you who is willing to work for pay, you gladly give him or her a job, and on their first day on the job, you assign them their first task...however, mysteriously, they ask the question, "How would like this done, this way or this way?
That's how postmodernism initially works: You are traditional, but the person you hired is a postmodernist, regardless of the years of experience you've acquired, and the centuries of proof behind your experience to back you up...the person you hired is not concerned about what worked in the past...they're looking for ways to suit themselves, and not the person who is in charge. And I would assume that that is why the private sector has grown to be so large in America today.
Most postmodernists carry a fairly high desire of objective pragmatism, always placing everything under the microscope of "science" ... and if there is any absolutes contained in it, they reject it, in order for it to fit their own individual, visual perspective. If the postmodernist cannot see it here and now, or if science, which is based upon what one can obtain with certainty through all the senses, has no record of it, then it becomes of no consequence to the casual observer.
If individual "freedom" is the objective, then, of postmodernism, how can a society as a whole benefit from its results? Very simply ... Society cannot! Why? Because it is too radical an autonomy (freedom), in short, the self-conscience is all that matters. The mind of the individual does not connect with anything other than the self, and the material world. This is basically, humanism, and all that humanism stands for, and its foundation being merely on the self, or individual.
Let's move along now to some of the terms and definitions of humanist/postmodernist's:
It goes in a particular order as to how atheists have progressed toward their self-destructive worldview, so to speak. Atheists most usually refer to the "Enlightenment" as the age for their reference point (as if there were ever such an age, eh?).
We'll start off with rationalism.
If it's rationalism, it obviously means that it points to having reason, or understanding ... it means you acknowledge things that are easily ascertained through being.
Rationality or reason is entirely acceptable until one places his or her self as the "highest" authority in the category of objectivity, as it relates to rationality. That should be the correct criticism of of those who would define rationalism incorrectly.
It is all too common for agnostics, atheists and humanists (basically the same as an atheist) to define rationalism from the objective self point of view.
Empiricism - Another term used by agnostics, atheists and humanists ... empiricism is a theory that knowledge originates in observation and experiences relating to those observations.
I will explain again in principally the same manner that I originally explained rationalism; empiricism, when it is used to give all credit to the human, or self it is not worthy of the merit that is accredited to it. Indeed, we have learned a lot since we began, but we simply cannot take facts physically acknowledgeable today, and deny everything prior to the beginnings of science. This is to show that atheists purpose is to try to "debunk" everything in Biblical times in order to make it fit their own self perception of it by "modern" standards.
Naturalism - Naturalism is a philosophy that rejects the possibility of supernatural phenomena, describing such phenomena as misunderstood natural phenomena or falsehood.
And again, this goes along with what I said earlier, that if atheists cannot empirically verify something under the microscope of science, then they have no explanation. It seems odd, however, that the very faculty that they put so much faith in, man; human wisdom ... is the very same faculty that they discredit if it does not fit their worldview, mere human beings and their collective wisdom, but perhaps a little more profound than what modern day scientists can figure out.
So, here is an outline of what we've went from since the so-called "enlightenment" ... atheists went from rationalism, to empiricism, to naturalism, and low-and-behold...postmodernism came on the scene.
When postmodernism was finally devised atheists had found the thing that would give them the means to grasp hearts and minds, throwing all of the former definitions off as they did not suffice, in order to gain complete freedom that their flesh so desired, or may I reiterate, the autonomy to self destruct. Although atheists don't see it as destructive, they are not aware of it, nor can they be as the Spirit has left them; as God has withdrawn Himself from calling them any further, so true right and wrong they cannot discern.
Structuralism and Post-Structuralism are two of the primary terms used that make up postmodernism...
Structuralism; structuralism is a common strategy of atheist postmodernists, by skeptically re-shaping history to fit the humanist and/or atheist worldview, using also all past scientific "evidence" to make their claim. That is why we have seen so many alleged "inconsistencies" within the Scriptures coming from atheists.
Post-Structuralism; post-structuralism is the direct next step of the atheist postmodernist, by using currently verified evidence to shape the future.
While most people associate this "new" era of postmodernism with art, the art itself is a general reflection of the meaninglessness that comes with postmodernism, ascribing all faith and credit to weak, human flesh, mankind continues to search in himself, for a cure to the loneliness and despair that he feels trapped in.
Well, folks, it seems I've ran out of words, hopefully I can add some more as I learn a little bit here and a little bit there along the way.
One last thought...
If you are searching for truth, friends, you need look no further than to the Cross that Jesus Christ died upon to save you from your sin, and make you whole again!
God bless!

The Christian's Obligation
As a recent survey points out, Americans are divided evenly on the issue of homosexuality, and this is a sign that the acceptance of immorality in our society is becoming or has already become first place in peoples' hearts and minds. Why? You ask...For many reasons, attributed to the same group of ideologues called Liberal Democrats, just call them plainly - 'Democrats', because the whole of the Democrat party has become a whole sort of nastiness. The problem in a nutshell, is the Democrats have a most insane set of opinions, opinions that are anti-America and anti-Christian and anti-Family, of course, anti-Christian and anti-Family comprises most of their agenda. So, how did they create this mess? They took God and shoved Him out of our schools, good Christian people who taught good, wholesome values to our children...pushed out. "We hate ya. We don't want ya!" and you can see what has happened, can't you? The hate has pervaded the minds of our children...the children then grow up thinking they have an easy road ahead, and they say, "There's nothing to worry about, I can always depend on the government", and the government does, they hand them all the money they need to murder their little babies, to fund for diseases that they've gotten from being taught they can have sex any time they want too...the government's going to have to stop this funding and tell the people, say, "Hey, if you don't want to get a disease, or don't want to have a children, then don't have sex until you're ready to be committed to your husband or wife...but they won't, they'll just keep handing them the free dough, and the diseases will continue to spread, and babies will continue to be murdered on a daily basis.... and ...generation afer generation, America becomes weaker, and with scornful eyes other countries watch as America comes to Her demise. You know, America once looked to God, and peace filled the land with a harmony of working families going about their everyday happy lives...rejoicing and praising God for everything they had. Now, people just can't seem to get enough fame, money, riches, sex and material pleasure....and they don't want God anymore. Well, I'll tell you, God doesn't like what He sees, and He may get angry at America, unless people wake up! If you think these tornadoes and wildfires and earthquakes are bad...then you haven't seen anything compared to God's Awesome Mighty hand of power come to force!
We can avoid God's anger, if we'll only seek Him and ask Him for guidance.
Many churches (Church pastors, Youth leaders, Counsellors, and Congregations) are partly to blame as well, because too many church leaders are accepting the homosexual lifestyle as "normal" or "ok", and you have half the congregation for homosexuality and half against homosexuality.....this severely weakens the message and influence of the church, and it severely weakens society too. And that's what I mean, you see, that's why America is failing, because too many church leaders won't step to the plate with the courage to challenge their members morally.......In order to make a difference, you must be ROCK solid on what God's Word says......When God's Word says it's Wrong.....It's WRONG! And homosexuality is deathly WRONG!! And there's no earthly man that can change what God's Word says. PERIOD!
So, to all you churches out there, listen up....America's future is dependent upon you, and all Christians, everywhere, as God's messengers to get the message out, and put our foot down about the damage that homosexuals and homosexuality are doing to America! If you love America, and you love God, you will challenge and warn them about these dangers!
God bless!

Indiana Creationist Seeks To Run For Office
Paul Abramson, Republican, and founder of Creationism.Org seeks to challenge Democratic Congressman Brad Ellsworth in the 2008 election.
As Paul notes, the "good guys" just aren't winning the Culture War in today's modern society. Too many organizations like the ACLU, I call them the Anti-Christian Lawyers Union, are advocating on the side of the Secular Left in America to remove God from our money, from our public places, the Ten Commandments from our Court houses, and especially our schools and universitites. Very Left-Liberal-Socialist leaning teachers have made it a point to thoroughly brainwash students with the Feminist, Homosexual, and Socialist agenda. With the classroom, comes the next generation; as each school year passes and these students are released into the real world, the more our society is poisoned with Liberalism and its disasterous effects.
With many of today's colleges we find 'preferential admission policies' on the basis of race, which is another of today's flawful thinking on behalf of our colleges, if a white male does not get into Yale because of his race, he does not get into Yale forever, and chances are, he forever does not get into Harvord, Stanford, etc., Or, if he does, then some other white male gets left out. The damage done to the individual is permanent, not transitional. Differential treatment is becoming and ever increasing problem with today's Educational system, and unless it is changed so that students can enroll for a college education on a non-discriminational basis, America will be doomed to the ash-heap of history as Europe and so many others have. Diversity was a great thing back in the early to middle 1900s, until the last 20 years, diversity meant diversity of job and profession, but it has now been taken advantage of by the Secular "Progressive." Or Liberal-Democrats of America. How so? As just discussed, diversity now means preferential treatment, toward young and old, and it is a consistenly shown a trend toward deviant nature away from moral standards, just to give you an example, in 1973 it was made legal to murder, little children in the womb, since that year, more than 50,000,000 children have been mercilessly murdered purely for convenience. With the elderly, the Left-Liberal agenda is coming ever closer to enacting assisted suicide to their agenda. Our justice system is failing...you might remember 1994, O.J. Simpson committed murder, and escaped a prison sentence. From 1960 to 1980 crime doubled from 1,900 per 100,000 people; to 6,000. After a brief decline, it started rising again, and reached 5,700 by 1992. This is the type of change that has occurred for these past 50 years.
Can we turn the tide back? We sure can. If we will put our selfish-pride out of the way, and vote God-fearing men into office like Paul Abramson.
God bless!

Massachusett's Lawmakers Consider Spanking Ban: The Issue of Parenting
It comes as no surprise...seeing that Massachusetts is one of the most Liberal States in the country. This perfectly illustrates the Liberal agenda as well, and why it is a hindrance to the continued progress and stabilization of civility in America. Liberals are constantly inventing new terminology to try and make their warped Ideologies sound more convincing; sugar coating the truth with lies. It is a trap.
Liberals believe that the government must adjust according to the wants of those which aren't according to American Custom and Traditions. Liberals have already gotten their "change" since the 1960s, and you can see where it is leading us--our public schools have been turned into brainwashing centers where Almighty God Creator of Heaven and Earth is substituted with that evolution garbage. Feminism, which teaches girls that Murdering their unborn baby is desirable over choosing to give their child life, not to mention that they turn them into sex slaves, completely ruining their chances of a decent career and how to be a loving Mother...they come out as aliens in place of "citizens". Our schools no longer give or show respect and reverance to God such as in time of prayer, schools no longer allow prayer, and God's name has been removed from the Pledge of Allegiance, So, we wind up with a disasterous outcome. How did these disastrous changes become the "norm" of society? Through abhorrent organizations such as the ACLU and N.O.W. which thinks democracy is tyranny and government by judges is "freedom".
They now want to intrude upon the daily lives of parents, and make the State as decision maker for the parents. A Nurse in Massachusetts has decided that parents no longer have the right to discipline their children--Corporal punishment, to be exact.
Corporal punishment is an ancient practice, it has always been one of the more important tasks in parenting. It is used to teach children that certain things are not acceptable. It teaches us how to be good citizens, showing a measure of respect toward others.
Take for example, a parent is at home, and unexpectedly the principle calls at about 1:00 P.M in the afternoon and tells them that little Johnny has bullied and hit another student, to come and pick little Johnny up--What are the school and little Johnny's parent's supposed to do? Tell little Johnny it's not nice to bully and hit on people?
Sure, we can tell little Johnny that it's not nice to bully and hit other people; But the truth is....Just telling little Johnny it's wrong isn't enough, little Johnny must understand that their are consequences for his actions. So, when we whip little Johnny, he associate the whipping with his wrong doing. In so doing, little Johnny learns to avoid certain things that he shouldn't do, and which, could very well save little Johnny's life some day.
You see, if the children aren't taught from an early age, then when they get older, they will lead a life learning the harsh lessons, much harsher than if they had been taught at the age of a child. Many children lose their lives because their parents didn't care!!
Massachusetts needs to wake up, and realize that the Liberal agenda is destroying their State!!

Take for example, a parent is at home, and unexpectedly the principle calls at about 1:00 P.M in the afternoon and tells them that little Johnny has bullied and hit another student, to come and pick little Johnny up--What are the school and little Johnny's parent's supposed to do? Tell little Johnny it's not nice to bully and hit on people?
Sure, we can tell little Johnny that it's not nice to bully and hit other people; But the truth is....Just telling little Johnny it's wrong isn't enough, little Johnny must understand that their are consequences for his actions. So, when we whip little Johnny, he associate the whipping with his wrong doing. In so doing, little Johnny learns to avoid certain things that he shouldn't do, and which, could very well save little Johnny's life some day.
You see, if the children aren't taught from an early age, then when they get older, they will lead a life learning the harsh lessons, much harsher than if they had been taught at the age of a child. Many children lose their lives because their parents didn't care!!
Massachusetts needs to wake up, and realize that the Liberal agenda is destroying their State!!

Death Penalty V. Abortion, and Morality
These two issues alone, are perhaps the two single most controversial issues facing our society today ... Of course, there are a few countries that do not cherish or value life as much as others do ... Many of the differing beliefs concerning life stem from Ideological, or political reasons in the name of religion. When most people hear the word religion, the first thought that comes to mind, is God. As there are many beliefs concerning God or gods, and the thousands of philosophical writings, they each give their own definitions for their particular manner in which they view morality, and more importantly - Life. As there are many to list, I am only familiar with the beliefs of two, and will itirate upon both, which have had the most impact on our Culture and world today.
#1. Christianity...The Old Testament ended with the prophets of God predicting the coming of the Anointed One, who would enter history to bring redemption and deliverance to His people. Some 400 years later, the New testament begins with the book of Matthew revealing the fulfillment of these prophecies in Jesus Christ, the long awaited Messiah. Matthew, a Jewish tax collector for the Roman government, is called by Jesus to become one the twelve apostles. Thus, his Gospel often gives an eye-witness account. Jesus came to save both the Jews and the Gentiles. There is one true God, but with the essence of 3, the Trinity: God the Father; God the Son; and God the Holy Spirit. The standards of God are high, but the example he gave us is perfect...Jesus. Christ is sufficient for whatever need we might have. The ways of God are infinitely higher than the ways of the world. Jesus willingly laid down His life to redeem a sinful world with His perfect and acceptable sacrifice.
Now, as you can see, Jesus came to give His all for our every debt and transgression, so that we might turn from our wicked ways and serve Him. As He came not just for our sake but for His Father in Heaven... to do His perfect Will, which is to fulfill the Law of His Word, those sacred rules written on two tablets of Stone by Moses. Jesus refers to His fulfilling the Law in Matthew 5:17--Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

#2. Islam and the Quran, their primary focus was on Muhammad who was an ordinary person who lived, and was admired by many, as he was thought to be the "interpreter" for God...The same God as the Christian God? No! Their god is known as a rock, The Black Moon Rock. Muhammad was a sinner as any sinner could ever be, he did not have the kindness and meekness of Jesus Christ. Muhammad ordered executions for no other reason than, if they did not follow his Ideology, Islam as in the Quran, that they had to be put to death. Would execution for that reason be justified? No, because they were innocent people. Islam's primary teaching follow along the lines of this particular verse--SURAH 4:89--Those who reject Islam must be killed. If they turn back (from Islam), take (hold of) them and kill them wherever you find them.
As you can see, both belief systems, as far as life is concerned, are very much different in a moralistic standpoint--One cherishes life(Christianity), the other doesn't(Islam).
So, how does this relate to life decisions, as we see it here today in America?
Since we are dominantly Christian here in America, I'm going to focus on Christianity, because it is morally above that of Islam. First, here is an interesting piece from an article that I've found--
How does the Death Penalty make an impression upon you? Do you cherish the life of others? Do you care and cherish the life of your own family, those who are closest and dearest to you?
How would you feel in the event of a loss in your family to a murderer?
Let's take a look at what the bible says--
Exodus 20:13--Thou shall not murder! Immediately following this Commandment from the Ten Commandments God reaffirms to His people that Murder is not acceptable and will be punished--Exodus 21:12--Anyone who strikes a man and kills him shall surely be put to death. Now, this takes us back to Jesus fulfillment of these Laws, Jesus Death on the Cross at Calvary represents two things ... His death was representative of the Sin of the entire world and that Sin, ultimately leads to death of the Spirit. Through the shedding of His innocent blood is also representative of the fact, that, no innocent life is to be murdered under any circumstances, NONE!!!
So, what we do in the physical body is affected by how we react in our Spiritual walk to different stimuli, and what actions we take, there are consequences for those actions!!
How does all of this relate to Abortion? Although many in the Leftist community question the precious Life within a Mother's womb, they are not consistent with the Scriptures--Luke 1:44-45--As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished. Jeremiah 1:5--Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.
You see, friends, to question the very life which God hath ordained, is to blaspheme the name of the Lord God, and is to deny His Only Son Jesus Christ, Who was formed by God Himself in the womb of the Virgin Mary!!
I'm going to summarize it in very simple terms--All innocent life is precious, and to take (Murder) Life, is against the Law of God ... If America continues to Murder innocent unborn children, and continues to not bring to Justice those who have committed crimes against innocent humanity ... America will never stand!! She will be like every Nation before Her!!!
Wake Up, America!!!

Ironically, those who seem to be the most in favor of the death penalty are the same ones who are most opposed to abortion. Behind both positions there is a conservative way of thinking which is still found in many sections of the country. In both these issues can be seen the awesome power to determine the life and death of a person. This is a right which some believe belongs only to God.
