I’ve found that Jesus name is used routinely now as a cuss word, even by people who regularly attend church! People aren’t even really aware they’re saying it. I cringe whenever I hear it because He is...just exactly who He said He is, and He is not worth that kind of blatant disrespect.

This nation is so anti-Christian that only 99% of our elected leaders in Washington are openly Christian, mega-churches wield enormous political and economic influence, and nearly every Presidential candidate openly discusses the importance of his Christian beliefs.

Will this persecution never end?

And then there’s Mike Huckabee.
He’s worn the name out.

Well, that’s actually not true. 99% of them claim Christianity because it makes it sound good for them.

“cold, intolerant and oppressive.” Let's see I have all my body parts. I don't wear a sack. I chose my own husband. I would NEVER send my children off to blow themselves up killing themselves as well as innocent people. I don't threaten to kill anyone who "offends" me. Seems to me they got the wrong religion here.

Bring it on. Jesus can handle this puny little man and his supporters.

Well....the printed media is closing down. The entertainment industry could do the same if they keep bad mouthing the people. People just have to stop going to the movies for six months and see what happens. The good entertainers will suffer also and maybe that will force them to change things. Take the money away from them and maybe they’ll see the light.

I had to throw away a “Scooby-Doo” video yesterday that my wife bought my daughter. It explained that Wiccans weren’t witches and that they were “good.” You have to be very careful these days about what your kids are exposed to.

If you were Satan, whose name would you attack and get people to disparage?

The One who is the one way, the truth and the life, and the only name through whom you can get to the Father.

Remember, as far as muslims are concerned,

the rest of us have three choices:

convert
live in humiliating subjugation
die

You’d think Shrek would be fairly benign, wouldn’t you?

How about having a three yr old repeating “eat me” (gingerbread man).

The media promotes the “bad life” not the good life I want for my daughter. Learning the “hard way” is not a good thing . . . that was the route I took . . . my parents were secular and didn’t see how evil the media had become or remember how easily influenced children are.

Exactly. Think of those who profess Catholicism and abortion in the same breath.

The last movie I can remember that depicted Catholic priests in a truthful manner was The Exorcist. Granted, the movie was about something (exorcism) that is exceedingly rare, but Father Merrin, Father Karras and Father Dyer were each portrayed heroically.
