I don't see any names on that list that I would call "conservative" or "evangelical", but that's just me.
no mention of the bash back attack on a michigan church?

Agreed...Half of these so called “ministries” are nothing more than giant scams that take people’s dollars in the name of “Jesus”..but line the pockets of the “shepards” doing the preaching.
The Lord and Savior I worship didn’t live a life of greed and excess like these false prophets do.
Doesn't the Koran also contain like passages? As well as passages calling for the beheading of non-Muslims?
It was a great year for Mormon bashing too!
SB200, a Colorado state bill recently signed into law, criminalizes the Bible. Section 8 of the bill entitled "Publishing of discriminative matter forbidden" makes publishing the Bible illegal because it contains anti-homosexual passages. This is part of a larger effort to criminalize the expression of certain opinions and beliefs.
That's not gonna fly with the First Amendment. And if that doesn't work ... there's always the one after it.
I’ve started noticing that some people are getting arrested in this country for preaching the gospel. It first started in Las Vegas, a recent incident in Florida.
I’ll need to bmflr...
Only two glaring problems. Not bad, far lower paranoia than usual.
1. Obama not being a “true Christian” isn’t Christian bashing. It’s just him personally having a warped idea of what Christianity is.
2. Grassley demanded the documents in 2007, not 2008. In 2008 Grassley praised Hinn’s cooperation, not exactly Christian bashing.
Why, we saw worse than that on video: an elderly woman knocked off her feet and a cross trampled upon by a pro-gay demonstrator.
On the other hand, these are mostly anecdotal. The worst assault on Christianity is less dramatic: it is in the idea taking legal root, that all public expressions of Christianity are verboten. At this point it is tentative and legalistic: privately funded expressions are treated a bit better, jumbled religious messages are tolerated abit better (Christ + Rudolph the Rednose has a better chance of surviving the ACLU thugs than Christ alone, etc.) But the future isn't bright.
Read Obama's own comments on religion and the upbringing he got from his mother:
2004 Interview: Obama Talks about Jesus, Heaven and Sin (June 3, 2008)
“OBAMA: Right. Jesus is a historical figure for me, and he’s also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith, and one that I think is powerful precisely because he serves as that means of us reaching something higher. And he’s also a wonderful teacher. I think it’s important for all of us, of whatever faith, to have teachers in the flesh and also teachers in history.”Obama: “There’s the belief, certainly in some quarters, that people haven’t embraced Jesus Christ as their personal savior that they're going to hell.”
GG: You don’t believe that?
OBAMA: I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell. I can’t imagine that my God would allow some little Hindu kid in India who never interacts with the Christian faith to somehow burn for all eternity. That’s just not part of my religious makeup.
GG: What is sin?
OBAMA: Being out of alignment with my values.

A “friend” from high school has said that Dunham “touted herself as an atheist, and it was something she'd read about and could argue.”[6] Maya Soetoro-Ng, when asked if her mother was an atheist, said, “I wouldn't have called her an atheist. She was an agnostic. She basically gave us all the good books — the Bible, the Hindu Upanishads and the Buddhist scripture, the Tao Te Ching — and wanted us to recognise that everyone has something beautiful to contribute.”[19] “Jesus, she felt, was a wonderful example. But she felt that a lot of Christians behaved in un-Christian ways.”[20]In his 1995 memoir Dreams from My Father Barack Obama wrote, “My mother's confidence in needlepoint virtues depended on a faith I didn't possess... In a land [Indonesia] where fatalism remained a necessary tool for enduring hardship... she was a lonely witness for secular humanism, a soldier for New Deal, Peace Corps, position-paper liberalism.”[21] In his 2006 book The Audacity of Hope Obama wrote, “I was not raised in a religious household... My mother's own experiences... only reinforced this inherited skepticism. Her memories of the Christians who populated her youth were not fond ones... And yet for all her professed secularism, my mother was in many ways the most spiritually awakened person that I've ever known.”[22] Religion for her was “just one of the many ways — and not necessarily the best way — that man attempted to control the unknowable and understand the deeper truths about our lives,” Obama wrote.[20] In 2007 Obama described his mother as “a Christian from Kansas.” “I was raised by my mother,” he continued. “So, I’ve always been a Christian.”[23][24] Also in 2007, he said in a speech, “My mother, whose parents were nonpracticing Baptists and Methodists, was one of the most spiritual souls I ever knew. But she had a healthy skepticism of religion as an institution.”[1]

“Indonesia has the world's largest Muslim population, but Obama’s household was not religious. ‘My mother, whose parents were nonpracticing Baptists and Methodists, was one of the most spiritual souls I ever knew,’ Obama said in a 2007 speech. ‘But she had a healthy skepticism of religion as an institution. And as a consequence, so did I.’”
I'm going to need to see a baptismal certificate to believe this man was ever a Christian. Certainly he was NOT raised as one by an agnostic mother or non-practicing muslim fathers.
I can’t believe they didn’t mention that guy who went into the Church and shot up a bunch of worshipers.
I’m very sorry to say, and I agree: Some have titled them the “Health, wealth and joy boys!”
Others have said, If we are to all be so wealthy etc. then Jesus, Paul and the other apostles missed out!”
We are taught in 1 Timothy 6:6; “But godliness with contentment is great gain.”
What about the group of young Christians who got attacked and the girls sexually assaulted by homosexuals in San Francisco?
bump for later read
No.
It isn't time.
Yet.
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:12-13 KJV)
I wonder why there is absolutely nothing being mentioned in the media about the latest on the investigation of the attack on Sarah Palin’s Church...
