NEVER FORGET

Burn the Bible!

One man and his church are planning on burning the Koran in remembrance of 9/11. The day in which a group of Moslems attacked the Twin Towers and the Pentagon killing more than 3000 Americans.

In spite of this book burning being an action by an individual protected under the First Amendment right to freedom of speech, his actions are being condemned by:

The President of the United States

The Attorney General of the United States

The Secretary of State of the United States

The General in command of American troops in Afghanistan

Their condemnation comes under the rubric of this being a nation of religious liberty.

Yet a mere 2 years ago the United States Government, Department of Defense oversaw the destruction of Bibles.

May 22, 2009

(CNN) -- Military personnel threw away, and ultimately burned, confiscated Bibles that were printed in the two most common Afghan languages amid concern they would be used to try to convert Afghans, a Defense Department spokesman said Tuesday.

On the one hand we have an individual expressing his Bill of Rights guaranteed activity to burn a book. On the other you have government representatives condemning the destruction of a "holy" book, while at the same time officially destroying another "holy" book.

If the US government had destroyed a box of Korans as they had the Bibles-What do you think the reaction throughout all of the Moslem world would have been?

One book responsible for the rise of all modern society, civilization, and technology of the Western world. The other book responsible for the imprisonment of millions in a "civilization" barely more advanced than the stone age. A civilization which calls for the stoning of women who have been raped -by their own family. And the genital mutilation of small girls to insure they never are able to experience sexual "pleasure."

On one hand is a book promoting world peace and tolerance. On the other a book promoting intolerance and world conquest by the sword to enforce submission to its mandates.

On one hand a book gifted by God to bring peace and reconciliation with Him. On the other hand what is most likely the most evil book ever conceived by Satan.

In all of this why am I not surprised at the continued antipathy toward the Bible and Christianity by Democrats, socialists and liberals in the United States? (yes, I do know those three terms are functionally synonymous)

Ann Coulter !?!

From now on if I ever want to see the gospel presented clearly and without hesitation, I hope to see Ann Coulter on TV in such situations as Larry King Live or other news and talk shows.

When I think of the times "pastors" and "preachers" (and you know who I am talking about) have been on that show and stuttered and stammered when asked about Christianity it is beyond refreshing and encouraging to read and hear this woman whose domain is politics give the clearest of gospel messages in her weekly opinion column.

I dare you to go and read her column here-

IF YOU CAN FIND A BETTER DEAL, TAKE IT!

Christianity is simultaneously the easiest religion in the world and the hardest religion in the world.

In the no-frills, economy-class version, you don't need a church, a teacher, candles, incense, special food or clothing; you don't need to pass a test or prove yourself in any way. All you'll need is a Bible (in order to grasp the amazing deal you're getting) and probably a water baptism, though even that's disputed.

You can be washing the dishes or walking your dog or just sitting there minding your business hating Susan Sarandon and accept that God sent his only son to die for your sins and rise from the dead ... and you're in!

"Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9.

Christianity is also the hardest religion in the world because, if you believe Christ died for your sins and rose from the dead, you have no choice but to give your life entirely over to Him. No more sexual promiscuity, no lying, no cheating, no stealing, no killing inconvenient old people or unborn babies -- no doing what all the other kids do.

And no more caring what the world thinks of you -- because, as Jesus warned in a prophecy constantly fulfilled by liberals: The world will hate you.

With Christianity, your sins are forgiven, the slate is wiped clean and your eternal life is guaranteed through nothing you did yourself, even though you don't deserve it. It's the best deal in the universe.

Why is it that am I surprised at people who actually believe and openly proclaim the gospel?
