Politics - An Honest Dialog (And I thought dialog was dead)

Jon Stewart joined Bill O'Reilly on the "The Factor" recently and I was surprised to see a fair (and entertaining, too) dialoug between two personalities that, at least in the popular political American mind, represents the political left and right. I do think, in both Stewart and O'Reilly's case, the truth is more nuanced. Regardless, I thought it was refreshing to watch this discussion. I believe that this is the remedy for the current polemic gridlock that encumbers America politics. Instead of simply discrediting the other side, through linguistic gymnastics and marketing, the goal should be charitable engagement. Let us ask the difficult questions about the most contentious questions on the political landscape, like "homosexual marriage", abortion, and others. One has to love the sinner and hate the sin; no matter what side your on. Otherwise, we will continue to be mired in the swamp of "Don't ask, don't tell" and "A Woman's right to choose". It always strikes me as disturbing that the proponents of the later phrase never complete the sentence and say that they believe a woman should have the right to choose to KILL her baby.

Left-Wing L-O-O-N

When I seen this clip, one four letter word came to mind, L-O-O-N.

Homosexual Agenda is a Threat to Free Speech!

The homosexual agenda is simply intended to stifle free speech of Christians, Jews, Muslims, and any still with enough common sense to see that homosexual ACTIVITY (not tendencies, inclinations, or feelings) is unnatural and immoral. This video is a fair discussion of the issue. Let me also add that I am NOT advocating any kind of harassment or punishment of persons who identify themselves as "homosexual".

Pornography Addiction is a Great Evil!

I came across this blog entry, concerning pornography addiction, and totally agree. Thankfully, I have not been saddled with this addiction, but I believe pornography has indeed infected our world. Also, in this same vein, I would recommend this book.

Abortion is Murder!

If you want to see the result of abortion, check out this link. Beware, though, they are not for the faint of heart. It is unbelievable to me that some people support killing babies in the name of "sexual freedom".

Dig It! I am a personalist!

I am coming out of the closet! I am a personalist! Wouldn't you like to be one too?

The Moral Descent of Man

Romans 1:16-32

For I am not ashamed of the gospel. It is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: for Jew first, and then Greek.

For in it is revealed the righteousness of God from faith to faith; as it is written, "The one who is righteous by faith will live."

The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness.

For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them.

Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse; for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened.

While claiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.

Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies.

They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural,and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity.

And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed them over to their undiscerning mind to do what is improper.

They are filled with every form of wickedness, evil, greed, and malice; full of envy, murder, rivalry, treachery, and spite. They are gossips and scandalmongers and they hate God. They are insolent, haughty, boastful, ingenious in their wickedness, and rebellious toward their parents.

They are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.

Although they know the just decree of God that all who practice such things deserve death, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
