Pastor's Review of Iron Man -- from Landover Baptist Church

Pastor's Review of Iron Man:

The first thing you have to understand about the movie, "Iron Man," is that it is based on a super hero comic book series. For those of you who are not aware, super hero comic books are cartoon-style magazines read by effeminate young boys who don't play sports. I'm going to put it bluntly - and ladies, close your ears now, or ask your husband later - comic book readers are given toward a lifestyle of masturbation directed toward men wearing leotards. Thankfully, in a civilized society, these little perverts are not able to fulfill their disgusting fantasies in our school gymnasiums unless, of course, they are attending school in England, where boys learn to prance about like homosexuals in the first grade! In God's Country, America, if a sissy hankers toward a mastrabatorial fantasy in the school gym, God willing, there will be a True Christian™ jock, on hand to beat the devil out of them.

Thomas Jefferson on Christianity and Religion

clipper's remarks: Thoughts of another founding father.

Clip Source: www.nobeliefs.com

Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, February 10, 1814

What is it men cannot be made to believe!

-Thomas Jefferson to Richard Henry Lee, April 22, 1786. (on the British regarding America, but quoted here for its universal appeal.)

In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Horatio G. Spafford, March 17, 1814

Man once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous, and like a ship without rudder, is the sport of every wind.

-Thomas Jefferson to James Smith, 1822.

And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerve in the brain of Jupiter.

-Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Adams, April 11, 1823

I left off the names because they are probably embarrassing by now, assuming these people have improved their thinking.

Plagues are good and God knows this. Without them he couldn't teach us how to stop them.

One does not have to read well, one merely must believe; often the mentally challenged are quicker to believe than others.

Your belief is reality. I've yet to see anybody prove that reality exists.

Atheism is a bizaare claim. I percieve it the same as if someone told me they could not make themselves invisible.

look at the queen ant and you will see God in action. The queen ant is like God in a way with all the ants working to keep her alive.

And in fact, what is objective reality anyway, other than a myth that some people called scientists decide to believe in.

As for the 'stories' in the Bible. They are all true... at least those that have happened.

why do atheist so desperately try to hold on to reality? what are you afraid of?

I took 1st year high school algebra, which is all a person needs to know in order to prove Einstein and his disciples wrong.

Is religion a threat to rationality and science?

clipper's remarks: Daniel Dennett and Lord Winston -- public debate.

Clip Source: richarddawkins.net

Is religion a threat to rationality and science?

Prof Daniel Dennett and Lord Winston present their arguments ahead of tonight's public debate

Yes, says Prof Daniel Dennett

No, says Lord Winston

If religion isn't the greatest threat to rationality and scientific progress, what is? Perhaps alcohol, or television, or addictive video games.

People are revered for their capacity to live in a dream world, to shield their minds from factual knowledge and make the major decisions of their lives by consulting voices in their heads that they call forth by rituals designed to intoxicate them.

"You cannot lose by professing belief in God - if He does not exist you lose nothing, and if He does exist, you will be rewarded in the afterlife." Dennett argues that it is better to live as if there is no God, attempting to make the world a rational and better place.

The debate on religion versus science will take place tonight at the British Council.

Why True Christians Shouldn't Care About the Environment

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 19:02:12 GMT

clipped by: AcesLucky
clipper's remarks: Accepting the Bible without excuses for what it says. They are not hypocrites; they are not liars. They believe it's true, and takes it at its word.

Clip Source: www.landoverbaptist.org

Anyone who has read the Bible and believes every word will agree that worrying about our environment and trying to conserve energy (among other things) is an act of defiance against the Living God. Friends, the Lord will take care of everything. God made the Earth and the Heavens and if He wants to destroy it all, He will! In fact, one of the things that makes folks True Christians™ in the first place is that we are PRAYING for the destruction of this planet. You see, God actually wants us to use up all the resources, because when everything is gone, it will signal the return of sweet Jesus to come kill all the Muslims, Catholics, Mormons, Hindus and Tree-Hugger-know-it-alls.

The sissy Christians who pick and choose whatever Bible verse they like to fit their latest agenda will burn in Hell and give off just as pleasing a scent to the nostrils of the Lord as any hell bound, America hating Muslim will.

clipper's remarks: Many of the reader's comments are more interesting than the article. For instance, here's one:

ALL those "scientists" who are persecuted for believing "out of the box"? You know what, where are you tests you've preformed to PROVE Intelligent design? What Experimets did you preform? What results did you find that support your hypthesis of their being a designer? huh? Where are they? .... Oh wait.. you don't have any? You just "believe" that what HASN"T been explained by science yet must be something else??? Hmm.... Sounds like your saying "Whatever hasn't be figured out (yet) MUST be God!!

Or this:
"Unfortunately I feel it's pretty hard to have an honest discussion on the topic of origin these days because it seems that so few people are capable of accurately representing or fairly treating the arguments of anyone who sees it differently."

New Anti-Evolution Film Stirs Controversy

NEW YORK — A handful of journalists filed into a small theater at the Park Avenue Screening Room here last night to see a preview for "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed." The 90-minute documentary-style flick features Ben Stein, a comedian, lawyer, actor and former speechwriter. It is a movie about the so-called debate between supporters of "intelligent design" and Charles Darwin's scientific theory of evolution.

Some scientists, however, are outraged about the conduct of the filmmaker during production and screening as well as the film's effort to tie Darwin's ideas to Hitler. One prominent scientist who is in the movie has since called it shoddy and sinister.

The basic principles of neither evolution nor ID are clearly explained in the movie.

"Expelled" opens in theaters nationwide starting on April 18.

Diabetic girl dies as parents pray

clipper's remarks: "She said her family believed in the Bible and that healing came from God. But she insisted that they were not "crazy religious people"

Diabetic girl dies as parents pray instead of calling for medical aid

An 11-year-old girl died from diabetes after her parents prayed for her recovery rather than calling for medical assistance.

Madeline Neumann died on Sunday in Wisconsin, from an undiagnosed but treatable ailment.

Dan Vergin, the local police chief, said she had been ill for a month, suffering symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, excessive thirst, loss of appetite and weakness.

"She just got sicker and sicker until she was dead," he said.

Police are now preparing a report for prosecutors. However, legal action against the parents may be prevented by a Wisconsin state statute against failing to act to protect children from bodily harm.

The statute contains an exemption for what it refers to as "treatment through prayer". Mrs Neumann, whose husband is a former policeman, said they had never expected her daughter to die. She suffered from diabetic ketoacidosis, which left her with too little insulin.

The Religion of the New World Order
Interfaithism

Pope John Paul II
Embrases the Quran and kisses it

Revelation 13 describes a time when the people of the world will find a common form of worship.

While the Interfaith movement appears on the surface to be harmless enough, in reality this is the beginning of the end. Ultimately, we will be forced to make a decision between Jesus and Satan. We will choose between our exclusive claim on Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior vs. a watered-down anti-biblical document. We will be asked to accept that spiritual truths can be found in all of the world's religions and that there is more than one path to heaven. A Bible-believing Christian cannot agree to this.

They believe that the future of our world depends on all of us becoming tolerant and respectful of each other's beliefs.

New Testament - on Women's rights

clipper's remarks: So many translations; so many interpretations; but sometimes they all say essentially the same thing... women are second class citizens... thus saith the Lord.

Is the word of god "subject to" the culture of the times? Or do we change the interpretation of god's word to fit our sensibilities at the time?

Perhaps we create god's word as we go. Certainly our interpretation does.

<< 1 Corinthians 14:34 >>

GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
the women must keep silent. They don't have the right to speak. They must take their place as Moses' Teachings say.

King James Bible
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.

(15) Women are commanded to be silent in public assemblies, and they are commanded to ask of their husbands at home.

1 Corinthians 11:5 But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved.

Young's Literal Translation
Your women in the assemblies let them be silent, for it hath not been permitted to them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith;

Bible in Basic English
Let women keep quiet in the churches: for it is not right for them to be talking; but let them be under control, as it says in the law.

Archbishop Earl Paulk Pleads Guilty

The felony perjury charge against Paulk stems from a civil lawsuit against him, his brother Don and the church by former church employee, Mona Brewer. The lawsuit alleges that Earl Paulk manipulated Brewer into an affair from 1989 to 2003 by telling her it was her only path to salvation.

In a 2006 deposition for the lawsuit, the archbishop said under oath that the only woman he had ever had sex with outside of his marriage was Brewer.

But the results of a court-ordered paternity test revealed in October that Paulk is the biological father of his brother's son, D.E. Paulk, who is now head pastor at the church. As part of Brewer's lawsuit, eight women have given sworn depositions that they were coerced into sexual relationships with Earl Paulk.

the Cathedral at Chapel Hill claimed about 10,000 members and 24 pastors and was a media powerhouse. The church was able to build a Bible college, two schools, a worldwide TV ministry and a $12 million sanctuary
