Did Jesus actually reveal name of the 'antichrist'? via kwout

The exhibit, Untitled 2009, is part of the Made In God's Image exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow and was thought up by local artist Anthony Schrag. The intention was for gays and transsexuals who felt left out of religion to "write their way back in" to the holy book.

Leadership: Speaker Nancy Pelosi claims she has no use for polls. For her, that's a good thing, because polls now show that voters despise her. But a politician who disdains public approval should be a little disturbing.Not every House leader has been popular, but none have reached the nadir of Pelosi. Last week, a Public Strategies/Politico poll showed she is now trusted by fewer than one out of four voters. Asked for a reaction by Politico's Glenn Thrush on Monday, Pelosi laughed it off, declaring "I don't care." A response like that can only come from someone so securely unaccountable...

<p>SAN ANTONIO (AP) - San Antonio police say a woman accused of beheading her 3 1/2-week-old infant son used a knife and two swords in the attack and ate some of the child's body parts. San Antonio Police Chief William McManus told reporters Monday that Otty Sanchez's attack on her son, Scott Wesley Buchholtz-Sanchez, was "too heinous" to fully discuss.</p>

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's brother, a physician, appointed to Obama health care job admits killing old people is the only way to cut costs! DEADLY DOCTORS O ADVISERS WANT TO RATION CARE By BETSY MCCAUGHEY New York Post July 24, 2009 Emanuel: Believes in withholding care from elderly for greater good. THE health bills coming out of Congress would put the decisions about your care in the hands of presidential appointees. They'd decide what plans cover, how much leeway your doctor will have and what seniors get under Medicare. Yet at least two of President Obama's top...

hree New Jersey mayors, two state lawmakers, a deputy mayor and five rabbis were among 44 people charged Thursday in a two-track corruption and international money-laundering probe, the U.S. Attorney's Office for New Jersey announced. The investigation began as a probe into a money-laundering ring that allegedly trafficked in goods as diverse as human organs and fake designer handbags. Based on information from a cooperating witness, the probe then widened to government corruption when the witness approached public officials about bribes, the attorney's office said in a statement. FBI and IRS agents arrested most of the suspects Thursday morning in...

I’ve written before about some of the connections between the groups attacking Sarah Palin and both George Soros and Barack Obama. They are all intertwined. And as Soros’ group MoveOn.org famously said after the 2004 presidential election, regarding the democrat party: "It’s ours, we paid for it!" MoveOn came into being during the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal that saw President Clinton impeached for lying under oath during a sexual harassment law suit, as well as suborning perjury when he asked Monica Lewinsky to do the same. The who idea was to get America to "move on" from the Lewinsky scandal. Since then,...

Cardinal Norberto Rivera Carrera, Archbishop of Mexico City and Primate of Mexico Mexico City, Mexico, Jul 16, 2009 / 02:26 pm (CNA).- The Archbishop of Mexico City, Cardinal Norberto Rivera Carrera, said yesterday that the existence of the devil must be taken as fact, without exaggerating or minimizing his actions out of skepticism or credulity taken to the extreme. During a conference for exorcists in Mexico, the cardinal said skepticism leads many to deny the existence of the devil and dismiss his actions as psychological, socio-cultural or paranormal phenomena.  Others, out of extreme gullibility, see the devil everywhere and grant...

At a committee hearing last week, Democratic Sen. Barbara Mikulski of Maryland provided a classic example of a morally bankrupt legislator seeking to insidiously force Americans to cooperate with and fund an objectively evil cause. On Thursday, July 9, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee met to consider amendments to the legislation it is drafting to rearrange the entire U.S. health care system. While chairing the hearing, Mikulski offered an obscurely worded, two-part amendment. The first part required literally all health insurance companies in America to provide unspecified "preventive care and screenings" for "pregnant women and individuals of...

VATICAN CITY - The Vatican lauded the latest Harry Potter film on Monday, saying "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" made the age-old debate over good vs. evil crystal clear. The Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano even gave two thumbs up to the film's treatment of adolescent love, saying it achieved the "correct balance" and made the stars more credible to the general audience. The newspaper said the film, which opens Wednesday, was the best adaptation yet of the J.K. Rowling series about the adventures of the bespectacled child wizard Harry Potter and his Hogwarts chums as they battle Harry's nemesis,...

Oxford's dictionary defines evil as "profoundly immoral and malevolent." In taking a serious look at what Barack Obama and the Democrats in congress are doing to this nation, one must try to determine their intent. Many conservative pundits and talk show hosts have been postulating that although misguided and mistaken, the ideas being put forth by the liberals in Washington are well-intentioned. Whether it be raising taxes to pay for a massive boondoggle such as a nationalized health care system, cap and trade to save the planet from climate change, or genuflecting to our enemies in a vain attempt to...

On a historic visit to Africa, the president delivers a rallying cry for an end to war and corruption Barack Obama, creating history on his first visit to sub-Saharan Africa as US president, said visiting the slave fortress of Cape Coast Castle yesterday reminded him of the capacity of human beings to commit great evil.

Barack Obama, the weapon. In a laughingly predictable trajectory from the summer of free love through the protests of the war in Viet Nam, the baby boomers have a firm hold on the reins of power in this country—from the media and the board room to the corridors of Congress. Because they really are nihilists, if you scratch off the materialist veneer they now wear, they want nothing so much as they do death. And not just their own, individual demise. They want America dead, toe-tagged, on a slab. And they chose, in the urbane, polished, smooth and charismatic Barack...

CAPE COAST, Ghana (AP) — President Barack Obama says a slave site reminds him of humanity's potential for "great evil" but also gives him a reason for hope, given the progress African-Americans have made since leaving the castle as slaves. Obama toured a seaside fortress that the British used as slave dungeons during the 17th century. Obama said the site reminded him of a recent trip to a Nazi concentration camp in Germany.

Message board reveals the malicious intention of Chavez The goal, on Sunday July 5, was to cause a slaughter and create martyrs. 07.07.09 - Updated: 07.07.09 09:22 pm - Writing: diario@elheraldo.hn Honduras AFP captured the moment when Hugo Chávez coordinated from the office, the military operation that led to Manuel Zelaya Rosales of Honduras, in a blatant violation of Honduran airspace. However, rather than seeing a former military coup indicating Panasonic TV and applauding the "feat" Zelaya Rosales, which was transmitted live by the channel Telesur, experts in political and security issues will have been struck by the message written...

Every week I head on over to Townhall.com to check out the latest postings of some of my favorite commentators. Today I happened across Mike Adams newest column in which he "breaks" the news of Frank Lombard's Amazon.com Book Wish-list. For those who are unfamiliar with the story, Frank Lombard, a University of NC Duke professor is currently in jail charged with, and has admitted, sexually molesting his 5 year old adopted sons. Using the name "Perv Dad for Fun", Lombard, in a chatroom, offered up his son for sex to an undercover cop. On June 30, 2009 I found...

With so much coverage of the current debate on Barack Obama’s attempt to impose nationalized healthcare on America, it may seem that little else can be said on the subject. Yet it needs to be discussed, and its manifold dangers explained to the American people. It is impossible to overstate the significance of this battle. If successful in establishing this pinnacle of his socialist agenda, Obama will unleash a “change” on the country from which it may never recover. Clearly, he is aware of the governmental power he has the potential to accrue with the passage of this single atrocious...

Over the past year I have been going over articles about Asperger's syndrome. Asperger's syndrome is considered to be a highly functioning form of autism yet it is also considered to be a disability. Members of the autism community have worked for years trying to downplay the severity of the disorder. I first heard about Asperger's in 1998 while watching a documentary. Asperger's disorder was first invented by a German doctor named Hans Asperger. (the disorder was named after him.) Asperger did study on children who though they were bright were considered awkward. The world health organization began to use...

The laws of nature are survival of the fittest, and of adapting to the surrounding environment, and human beings are better at adapting than any other species on earth. The laws of God and of humankind however have to do with the knowledge of the nature of good and evil.

A jilted Long Island woman was arrested and charged after police say she broke into her estranged husband's waterfront mansion and attempted to start a fire. Nassau County police say Esther Hershko, 49, was arrested early Wednesday after she illegally entered her husband's Hewlett Bay Park home and poured charcoal lighter fluid throughout the house while 5 people slept inside.

Edmund Burke once said, “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” Yet while the Iranian government has civilians terrorized, college students dragged away and executed, and young women getting the crap kicked out of them, and Obama has hardly said anything. He’s actually gone one extra step, saying, “Not our business. We don’t want to be seen as meddling.” He says he’s concerned for the Iranian people but then in the next breath says whoever the Iranian government decides is the winner of this suspicious election is the winner. What a soulless...

... For my first trip out and about since learning I was pregnant, I went to meet with the director of an adoption agency. He was so supportive and sweet that I walked away choked up but not in tears — it was the first day I didn’t cry. Even though the adoption agency can pay my medical costs and set me up with adoptive parents for maternity shopping, grocery shopping, birthing classes and all kinds of programs, it didn’t feel like enough. I told the director how scared and lonely I’ve been and he just said, “I know. I...

Gordon Brown is today engulfed in crisis after a key aide resigned and the Tories threatened legal action over explosive leaked emails discussing how to smear senior Conservatives, including David Cameron's wife, Samantha, with rumours about their private lives. Damian McBride, one of the prime minister's closest advisers, quit over his exchange with the Labour blogger Derek Draper, in which the two discussed setting up a website to air scurrilous allegations about opponents, including unfounded allegations about affairs between leading opposition MPs. The idea was still being actively discussed until a fortnight ago, the Observer has learned. ..... Among the...

Boogie Nights beauty confesses to being a low-rent white witch. "I have this group of friends and we get together and we call ourselves The Goddesses and we wish for things and then a lot of amazing things have happened to all of us," Heather admitted. "We burn things -- honoring the elements of earth, wind, air and fire. You do spells. "We did this thing where we were calling on the wind and the air and this whole storm started on my roof... It was amazing... empowering." Nearly to the point of absurdity as witchy-poo Heather is convinced President...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- MSNBC talking head Keith Olbermann has named pro-life nurse and blogger Jill Stanek the "Worst Person in the World" during that segment of his Thursday night broadcast. Stanek is the pro-life nurse who uncovered live birth abortions at a hospital in Chicago that led to a national law prohibiting the practice.On her blog, Stanek has noted how late-term abortion practitioner LeRoy Carhart of Nebraska is one of the few remaining people to do abortions so late in pregnancy now that George Tiller has been killed.As LifeNews.com has noted, Stanek posted pictures of Carhart's Belleview-based abortion...

The topic of slavery is usually accompanied by bitter feelings and condemnation for Americas past. Like America, many civilizations have used slavery as a means of providing labor. Samarian drawings on clay tablets dating back to 4000 BC show captives taken in battle being tied, whipped, and forced to work. Then there are ancient papyrus manuscripts from 2100 BC that record the ownership of slaves by private citizens in Egypt. The earliest mention of slavery in the Bible would be Genesis 9:25 when Noah cursed the descendants of Canaan. From Abraham on down we read of the men in...

The debate about who created evil is an important one since atheists and skeptics use the existence of evil in their arguments against theism. It is incumbent upon all Christians to understand what the Scriptures say about the God they worship and the existence of evil in the world. If God created everything, and if evil is in the world, does it follow that God created evil? We are told as Christians to believe what the Bible says. Even the popular children's song, “Jesus Loves Me”, has in its lyrics, “Jesus loves me, this I know for the Bible tells...

James Dobson, the founder of the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family Christian ministry, warned today that there is "utter evil" coming out of Washington, D.C., these days. "I want to tell our listeners something has come up that is so shocking and so outrageous, we must make our friends out there aware of it," he said on his daily radio program. "I'm going to speak very bluntly today because there's no other word for it: the utter evil that's coming out of Congress," he said. "I've been on the air 32 years and I've never seen a time quite...

BOSTON – Between doctors' appointments, Edward Kennedy has been working the phones, urging Senate colleagues to pass a health care bill. He's trying to finish his memoirs. And he's overseeing the design of a namesake building to stand next to his brother's presidential library. A year after being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, the 77-year-old last surviving Kennedy brother has defied some doctors' expectations and worked steadily to cement his personal and political legacies. [snip] He continues to chair the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, and hopes to strike a deal on a health insurance bill before Congress...

It was the hottest ticket in town, a black-tie dinner gathering of Washington's political and media elite but Dick Cheney couldn't make it. The former vice president was busy, President Barack Obama joked, working on his memoir "tentatively titled, How to Shoot Friends and Interrogate People.' " As the star attraction of Saturday night's star-studded annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner, Obama enjoyed poking fun at his critics and the Republican Party. But his own administration, in power for just over 100 days, was also a target of the president's playful digs and one-liners. "I believe my next hundred...

NEW YORK (AP) - She's already conquered Britain, France and Germany. On Tuesday, it was time for Michelle Obama to conquer New York. After a visit to the U.S. Mission to the United Nations and an appearance on "Sesame Street," Mrs. Obama capped her first visit to New York as first lady with an appearance before a glittery crowd at Time magazine's annual Time 100 gala, honoring its 100 "Most Influential People." There, she mixed sparkle with substance, introducing the administration's proposal to give $50 million to innovative nonprofit groups. Yes, her husband was on that most-influential list, too, as...

Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pennsylvania) has played the voters of Pennsylvania for suckers for years. So is it any surprise that his new campaign fundraising website seems to be preying on well-intentioned donors? Decide for yourself by visiting Specter for the Cure. It certainly looks like a website for some kind of cancer research charity. Alas, it is not. (Hat tip to David Freddoso)

Hannah Arendt was wrong. Evil is never banal. Evil is fascinating, provocative and mind-focusing. Adolph Eichmann was probably a bore at a Nazi dinner party, a dull bureaucrat following orders, but his acts forever fascinate the human mind. We try but fail to understand how a fellow human could do what he did without conscience, without regret, without remorse. What is banal is the moral preening of those who judge the way others stand up to evil, who judge those who compromise in their human fallibility to fight evil so that the rest of us can enjoy the good (and...

"Know why he doesn't?" he rails. "He doesn't have...

Tomorrow 29 April, the Senate Judiciary Committee will meet to confirm, and likely forward to a full Senate vote the ANTI-JESUS, ANTI-LIFE Judge David Hamilton, the same bad judge who issued controversial rulings (banning public prayers offered "in Jesus name," and hastening the abortion of unborn children). But heroic Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), agrees we should oppose and filibuster Hamilton's nomination to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, the same court that reversed his liberal, activist, aggressive decisions for years. To support Sen. Inhofe, and stop Hamilton, we first need solidarity among any good conservatives or moderates seated on the...

The Hate Crime law, HR-1913, will make 30 sexual orientations federally-protected. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has published 30 such sexual orientations that, because of Congress's refusal to define "sexual orientation," will be protected under this legislation. These 30 orientations are listed in the APA's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), which is used by physicians, psychologists, social workers, nurses, and psychiatrists throughout the U.S. It is considered the dictionary of mental disorders. Those 30 sexual orientations include behaviors that are felonies or misdemeanors in most states. Among those sexual orientations being protected by HR-1913 are these: Apotemnophilia...

America is raising a generation of children on porn - and your child just might be one of them. According to the London School of Economics, nine out of 10 teens who go online will view pornography. The Kaiser Family Foundation reports that 70 percent of those who viewed porn stumbled across it - many while innocently doing their homework - and had not been looking for it. The purveyors of hard-core porn are so fixated on creating addicts out of our sons and daughters that they have made it virtually impossible for children to escape their clutches. Even one...

Nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past.” So declared President Obama, after his commendable decision to release the legal memos that his predecessor used to justify torture. Some people in the political and media establishments have echoed his position. We need to look forward, not backward, they say. No prosecutions, please; no investigations; we’re just too busy. There are indeed immense challenges out there: an economic crisis, a health care crisis, an environmental crisis. Isn’t revisiting the abuses of the last eight years, no matter how bad they were, a luxury we...

Lesson learned: Don’t ever e-mail Perez Hilton! One big slip of the keyboard Monday, and local industrial photographer Ron Manera saw his business crawl to a virtual stop. And he says he's got blogger Perez Hilton and "his gay mafia" to thank. Manera's phones stopped working as callers were greeted either by a busy signal or a voice saying the phone was disconnected – even though it wasn’t. His website got overloaded and crashed. And his e-mail inbox filled up with hate mail. Someone wanted to burn his Palm Beach Gardens home. Someone else wrote about killing him and his...

What you are about to read is 100% true. Ilse Gerngrofs, Leipzig and Bessie Goldstein were penpals in the mid 1930's. Besse was a Jewess from New Zealand, Ilse a non-Jew growing up during the rise of Nazi Germany. Besse's religion was hidden from Ilse so you can really see the the passage of foolish humanity into the jaws of evil Nazism. Read these letters from Ilse to Besse an realize how easy it is for mankind to fall into the trap of accepting evil and worry about how the world still appeases evil, in the form of Ahmadinijad, Hezballah,...

If the Obama administration has taken flak for suggesting that conservative groups might be home to domestic terrorists, it looks like some House Democrat leaders are willing to go even further: But in an interview on Fox TV in San Francisco, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) chalked up the GOP grass-roots effort as “AstroTurf.” “This initiative is funded by the high end; we call it AstroTurf, it's not really a grass-roots movement. It's AstroTurf by some of the wealthiest people in America to keep the focus on tax cuts for the rich instead of for the great middle class,” Pelosi said....

When the average person thinks "evil," he thinks of a cruelly-featured, sneering, bestial man wickedly twirling his mustache as he draws perverse delight from inflicting misery on his fellow human beings. People who fit the almost cartoonish definition we've grown accustomed to viewing as evil, certainly do exist -- and we hear about those dictators, serial killers, hit men, & psychopaths on the nightly news. But, it's a mistake to believe that those are the only people who do evil or that only activities that rise to the level of murder, rape, or armed robbery are sins. The worst of...

A new nationwide survey of adults’ spiritual beliefs, conducted by The Barna Group, suggests that Americans who consider themselves to be Christian have a diverse set of beliefs – but many of those beliefs are contradictory or, at least, inconsistent. The survey explored beliefs about spiritual beings, the influence of faith on their life, views of the Bible, and reactions to faiths other than their own. Views on Spiritual Beings The Barna survey asked questions about God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, Satan, and demons. All 1,871 self-described Christians were asked about their perception of God. In total, three-quarters (78%)...

Shep Smith just broke in with a new shooting massacre. In northern Alabama, police are looking for the father of four, Kevin Garner. Garner is reported in the middle of a divorce proceeding from his wife. Authorities will not identify those four (4) people found dead in his former home.

As our modern Liberals leap progressively towards Marxism, I engaged myself in the philosophy. I encourage you do the same (The Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels is free on google books). Marx and Engels state that rise in industrialization spawned Capitalism. Capitalism creates two classes - the Bourgeois and Proletarian. The bourgeoisie obtain significant benefits of the system as the proletariats are “slaves” for the affluent. Capitalism promotes oppressed and oppressors. Under Communist rule the two classes are coercively proportionate. This is a brief summation, but honestly, I insist you read it for the next points.

Alfred Hitchcock dedicated his 1940 film "Foreign Correspondent" to "those intrepid ones who went across the sea to be the eyes and ears of America … who early saw the clouds of war while many of us at home were seeing rainbows." Kind of brings into focus the old saw that history repeats itself. Only this time, it's our commander in chief who is seeing rainbows -- everywhere except, apparently, in America. It's bad enough when the George Soros brigades continually disparage America, but it's almost unbearable for the president to do it -- and even worse when he's on...

For the last eight years, the Left labeled George W. Bush evil. I found this amusing since many doing the lecturing viewed any judgment or condemnation of nearly anything to be unacceptable, as only a post-modernist can. Radical Islam? Not evil. Using human shields? Not evil. Saddam Hussein? Not evil. The Axis of Evil? Not evil. However....Bush? Evil. Cheney? Evil? Haliburton? Evil. You get the idea. The notion that George Bush was "evil" was so preposterous, such over-the-top nonsense that it hardly deserved any attention--except that it was everywhere. A person couldn't escape mention of his soulless nature. By maligning...

President Obama does not understand economics. All you have to do is watch his press conference of this past Tuesday to understand that. He doesn’t understand how wealth is created. He doesn’t understand how and why people earn and receive rewards. He doesn’t understand how and why employment agreements are made and kept. Of course, this is no surprise to many of us. It was clear during the presidential campaign that Obama did not understand economics. As he talked about the need to “reward work instead of rewarding wealth,” he demonstrated his cluelessness about the relationship between labor and capital...
