It’s a twisted world isn’t it?
At one time, The Bible and religion in general was celebrated as positive forces.
At those times, vile items such as hard core pornography were surpressed and illegal and discouraged.
Now, we see the reverse. We are on the road to surpressing religion in general, and Christianity in particular. The Holy Bible will be surpressed. But in our world today, hard core pornography is open and celebrated.
DSD: “At one time, The Bible and religion in general was celebrated as positive forces.”
That’s because the Bible is a positive force for good. Whether one believes all of it or not, I think the Bible offers outstanding guidance, both for a successful culture and life. Most of the negative things people believe about the Bible aren’t generally even in it. If someone can point out the harm of loving God, treating other people how you would like to be treated, drinking and eating in moderation, remaining faithful to one’s spouse, not being envious or greedy for what your neighbor has, not engaging in high risk sexual behaviors, not murdering other people, not idolizing pleasure, wealth, or other things of this world, being humble, etc., I’d love to hear it, because that’s a laundry list for successful life.
BTW, I believe in Christ and His explanation for why He came and did what He did. So in that sense, the Bible is more than just good advice for me. It’s the means to learning about God which leads to salvation, but disregarding that, the Bible is, undoubtedly, a good guide.
EternalVigilance, by the way, is America's Party 2012 presidential nominee. There's a lot to like about America's Party, including its plan for winning the 2012 election without getting caught up in a big money/big media campaign. America's Party envisions three million Christians, each waging their own front porch campaign, with each meeting goal of turning out twenty voters on election day. Those 60-million votes will win the presidential election, and could win a majority in the US House and a goodly number of seats in the US Senate this year. Come talk with EternalVigilance -- Tom Hoefling -- every Tuesday and Thursday night on the America's Summit call. Details at http://www.selfgovernment.us
See footage of ‘anti-bullying’ presenter, Dan Savage.
My suspicions have been confirmed. The anti-bullying movement is a thinly veiled assault by the aggressive pro-sodomy movement.

Isaiah 3:9, The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
“They hide it not”, is the key here in this verse. We are living in a time where anything goes, The Good Shepard also spoke of these times in which we live. One day it will finally end and the righteous will prevail.
