US judges rule for teacher who called creationism 'supers ious nonsense'

[DMC]

I just found the following commentary on a Christian website. It talks about the very thing I said in my post about removing God from everything.
=============================

Is there any hope for revival in this country? Our Lord says to His people, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14) Based on this verse, I do believe that there is always hope for revival … but … I sincerely believe that we have passed the point of being willing to comply with this verse. In my opinion, our hearts are in the final stage shown in verse 27 above which says, “Tell them all this, but do not expect them to listen. Shout out your warnings, but do not expect them to respond.”

We, the Church, have sat idly by while the God we claim to worship has been removed from every vestige of our society.

We have allowed Him to be removed from our schools where our most precious treasure, our children, are being indoctrinated in their tender years to everything that is anti God. The Bible has been replaced by sex classes. Evolution has replaced the truth of creation by Almighty God. Discipline has been removed, resulting now in teachers being afraid of their students. Our schools have become a battleground. The Church has been silent.

The airwaves, be it movies, television, and even radio have become a bastion of filth. sexuality, promiscuous sex, gutter language, violence, drunkenness, drugs, divorce, etc. are all examples of Hollywood’s success in these avenues. The sinful acts against a Holy God are laughingly spat in His face. The Church has been silent.

The classical music of great composers has been replaced with trash. “Music” that encourages the killing of police officers, rape, hate, sex, and whatever else can come from the mouths of sewers. Instead of music that is soothing, uplifting, and comforting, it has been replaced with noise that draws gyrations of sexual desires. The Church has been silent.

God’s design for the family; husband (man), wife (woman) and children has been replaced with single parent families, or two same-sex parents. Also, one of the greatest detriments to the family is “no-fault divorce”. Children are not being given what they need in a family to grow mentally and emotionally as they should; a dad (man) and mom (woman). Is it any wonder they are confused. The Church has been silent.

sexually is overtaking this land like locusts, and it is a dirge to any society. Every society that has suc bed to this evil has fallen. We are not exempt. The Church has been silent.

Many of our governmental leaders are primarily corrupt, sexually perverted, obsessed with greed, and what do we do? We keep them in office year after year. The Church has been silent.

Even our manner of dress has changed to the point where there is often little to nothing left to the imagination. The body is not covered with respect, but put on display as a harlot. This can often be seen even in church worship services. The Church has been silent.

The Church has sat back on its haunches while Satan’s goats have infiltrated the local churches. In self-induced ignorance, the Church has allowed false teachings to infiltrate its assemblies and blaspheme the name of God by insulting His Holy Son, Jesus Christ. All that I have previously mentioned in this article, and more, have actually found their way into the local churches. The Church has been silent.

In Mark 6:12 the disciples, “…went out, and preached that men should repent.” This is what we, the Church, must do if there is any possibility of avoiding judgment. Notice that God said in 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. The emphasis is on “my people”.

We, the Church, could bring revival, if we only would. We must come to God as Job when he said, “Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” (Job 42:6) We cannot continue blaming the world around us for the mess we are in. The world is only doing what is natural to a fallen world. When we sit idly by and do nothing, we are the problem. It is we, the Church, who must come to God on bended knee and repent.

It has been nearly 50 years since Madalyn Murray O’Hair began her crusade against God and His Church. In all that time, the Church as a whole has done nothing but sit back and watch. “Nary a peep”, as they would say years ago, back in the hills where I was raised.

Most are probably thinking, “what could I have done, I’m only one person?” Let me ask this question, how much of the world’s influence has rubbed off in your life? Allow me to provide a few examples to clarify that question:

· If your grown unmarried child comes to visit, and they bring their date with them, where do they sleep in your house?

· What do we allow to be seen and not seen on the television screen?

· What do we talk about among friends? Specifically, is Jesus ever mentioned?

· When was the last time you spoke out against Satanic doctrine preached in the local church you attend? Are you still there?

· What kind of example for Christ are you in front of your own children?

· How do you treat your own spouse?

· Has your family ever seen you pray and study God’s Word?

I could give dozens of other examples, but the point is that we can make a difference in our own area of the world we live in. However, I have seen far too many times, good people suc bing to the pressures of the world. It’s the old “everybody’s doing it” excuse. Let us keep one thing in mind, there is only one yardstick, the Word of God. We call it the Bible. We need to be VERY familiar with this Book. Sadly, very few are.

Is it too late for revival? I reiterate that in my opinion we have gone so far in our rebellion against God, we will not choose to repent, but instead face judgment. I would love to be proven wrong.

Is it possible that the Church could go through a cleansing judgment in this country (and elsewhere) before Jesus comes to retrieve her in the Rapture? It is entirely possible. Whether that is the case, I do not know. My earnest prayer for our country is that the Church wake up. Even if it is too late to change the direction of all the Satanic garbage that is proliferating itself upon us, we need to get our hearts right with God.

We the Church have been silent far too long, perhaps even past the point of no return, while darkness has replaced the light that once was. When the light is turned off to a room, darkness immediately takes its place, and that is the result of our silence. Jesus told us, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.” (Matthew 14-15) If our light is under a bushel, perhaps we need to get it out from under the bushel and place it on the candlestick. Jesus’ Word also tells us, “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” (John 8:12) Who are we following? If we are following Jesus, we will reflect His light to the world, because He is the light of life.

In closing, my observation is that many of those who claim to be Christians are good, moral people with high standards. They work hard at providing for their families, and they care for others. Perhaps they are the “silent majority” we speak of so often. Now is the time to break that silence and stand up for God. Jesus said “Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 10:32-33) If we are ashamed to confess Him, maybe we are not His child. On the other hand, if we are ashamed of ourselves, maybe we should repent and seek His forgiveness. A revival can always begin with one. Otherwise, our own silence condemns us, and it is deafening.

I don't argue with articles from other sites. Make a case and defend it and I will tear it down, or not.

Boy, god is an angry .

Maybe he's just setting up the stage for a grand-finale when he comes back and saves the world from.... premarital sex!

[DMC]

which leads to dancing

[Blake]

I'm sorry to hear that. Never joined a beer-bong club myself. Too busy working.

Then you don't have aspirations of joining the Masons either.

Good talk.

[LnGrrrR]

I wonder why kids from private religious schools always outperform kids from secular public schools?

Just when I think you can't find a stupider strawman, you do. Bravo, DarrinS, bravo.

[LnGrrrR]

I'm not a Bible-banger. I'm also not a re ed Atheist.

Are you a re ed Christian?

[LnGrrrR]

Remember, if God doesn't show up to correct people, then it's because he believes in free will.

All those times before where he DID show up and correct people... uhmm... *mumble mumble*

[Wild Cobra]

Christians are so persecuted in this country.

Of course liberals are going to persecute Christians and Jews more than Islams. After all, the Islam is the religion of peace.

I think it has to do with the devil's greatest accomplishment. Making the world believe there is no devil. After all, if he doesn't exists, neither does Jehovah. Right?

[Wild Cobra]

Maybe it's because the sinners get the virgins. Some of them, 72 at a time!

Islam is another fairy tale with it's own book to thump

[DarrinS]

If you judged solely on websites like Huffpo, Dailykos, or even by posters here, you would think that atheism is the mainstream belief of liberals/progressives. Recent Gallop poll shows that at least 90% of Democrats believe in God.

Well, if that's the case, there are so many ignorant democrats out their that don't know even know what their party is doing. They just vote for the "D".

Could that be why so many people claiming to be "Tea Party" are democrats? maybe they got woke up by Obapolicies?

[ChumpDumper]

opposing useless religious indoctrination in schools <> espousing atheism

[ChumpDumper]

maybe they got woke up by Obapolicies?

Are you still learning English?

[Wild Cobra]

Are you still learning English?

I admit, I was struggling.

I didn't know what to use for sure.

Obamapolicies, O-Polices, Obampolices, etc...

You moved the goal posts.

Not all Dems are liberal.

Babelfish was the key

Babel fish

For other uses, see Babel fish (disambiguation).
The Babel fish is small, yellow, leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the universe. It feeds on brain wave energy, absorbing all unconscious frequencies and then excreting telepathically a matrix formed from the conscious frequencies and nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain, the practical upshot of which is that if you stick one in your ear, you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language: the speech you hear decodes the brain wave matrix. It is a universal translator which simultaneously translates from one spoken language to another. It takes the brainwaves of the other body and what they are thinking then transmits the thoughts to the speech centres of the host's brain, the speech heard by the ear decodes the brainwave matrix. When inserted into the ear, its nutrition processes convert unconscious sound waves into conscious brain waves, neatly crossing the language divide between any species.
The book points out that the Babel fish could not possibly have developed naturally, and therefore both proves and disproves the existence of God:

Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindbogglingly useful could evolve purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God. The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing"."But," says man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It proves you exist and so therefore you don't. QED.""Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic."Oh, that was easy," says man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white, and gets killed on the next zebra crossing. Most leading theologians claim that this argument is a load of dingo's kidneys. But this did not stop Oolon Colluphid making a small fortune when he used it as the central theme for his best selling book, Well That About Wraps It Up for God. Meanwhile the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different cultures and races, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation. [3]

Arthur Dent commented only 'Eurgh!' when first inserting the fish into his ear. It enabled him to understand Vogon Poetry - not necessarily a good thing.

How many?

Does everybody that believes in god also believes creationism to be true?

[Blake]

I think it has to do with the devil's greatest accomplishment. Making the world believe there is no devil. After all, if he doesn't exists, neither does Jehovah. Right?

If the devil has read the book of revelation and still goes through with it, then he is the dumbest super villain of all time.

[Wild Cobra]

Does everybody that believes in god also believes creationism to be true?

I would say no. There is the creation, and then there is creationism. There are differences in peoples thoughts over these. The way the original words read, it could amount to terraforming.

[ElNono]

I would say no.

Thanks, I figured it was just another Darrin strawman.
