Mexico's epidemic of violence first erupted in 2006, according to most accounts. But an ex-Muslim from India, who serves as a Christian pastor along the Texas-Mexican border, believes the problem began much earlier, with human sacrifice, witches, and the adoration of death in ancient Aztec days. (SNIP) "A large majority of the Valley's population is Catholic, but the Catholicism here is mixed up with ancient pagan rites, witchcraft, false religions like Santeria, Voodoo, Palo Mayombe, and other demonic cults, and the worship of false saints like 'Saint' Death and Jesus Malverde," Elijah said. "Basically, it all adds up to Satan...

A surge in Satanism fuelled by the internet has led to a sharp rise in the demand for exorcists, the Roman Catholic Church has warned. The web has made it easier than ever before to access information on Devil-worshipping and the occult, experts said. Exorcism is the subject of a six-day conference being held this week at the Regina Apostolorum Pontifical University in Rome, which is under the Vatican's authority. "The internet makes it much easier than in the past to find information about Satanism," said Carlo Climati, a member of the university who specialises in the dangers posed to...

A leper came to Jesus and said "If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean" and Jesus moved with compassion put forth his hand and touched him and said "I will; be thou clean" and immediately the leprosy departed from him and he was clean. The beautiful thing about this is that you are not suppose to touch a leper, but Jesus had such compassion and a desire to see him delivered He put forth his hand and touched him. People have no problem believing that God can do something about their situations they just don't know if He will....

Massive inbreeding within the Muslim culture during the last 1.400 years may have done catastrophic damage to their gene pool. The consequences of intermarriage between first cousins often have serious impact on the offspring's intelligence, sanity, health and on their surroundings The most famous example of inbreeding is in ancient Egypt, where several Pharaonic dynasties collapsed after a couple of hundred years. In order to keep wealth and power within the family, the Pharaohs often married their own sister or half-sister and after a handful of generations the offspring were mentally and physically unfit to rule. Another historical example is...

God has put a dividing line between his people and the world. Just as He did the children of Isreal and the Egyptians. God said "I will put a division between thy people and thee" (Exodus 9:23). In (Exodus 9:3-6) notice God told Moses to tell pharaoh the hand of the Lord is upon thy cattle, horses, asses, camels, oxen, and sheep. And the Lord shall sever between the cattle of Isreal and the cattle of Egypt. And when all the cattle of Egypt was dead not one of the cattle of Isreal died. When the plagues came upon Egypt...

32-year-old Fla. son calls 911, demands mom's arrest after she takes boozeIt's hard to be 32 years old and still live with mom, but when she takes your beer away, sometimes you have to take it like a man. Charles Lee Dennison, over in New Port Richey, learned that the hard way this past weekend when he was arrested for calling 911 to complain his mother had poached his pilsener. Dennison was "very intoxicated" and demanded that the police arrest dear old mom when officers responded to his initial 911 call Friday night, according to tampabay.com. The sloshed son told...

A hen-pecked man kissed and cuddled a chicken on the floor of a New York subway carriage, ruffling the feathers of his fellow passengers. Commuters on the uptown No.6 train scatter as the unnamed man rolls around on the floor of the carriage with the chicken. It’s not surprising that no one egged on the man’s antics, as only service animals and those in containers are allowed in the Big Apple’s subway system. Of course, the plucky character’s tomfoolery could all be a prank. After all, he was filmed doing it… We’ll keep you posted.

Firedoglake, a prominent liberal blog has posted an article calling Barack Obama a homosexual rapist straight out of the classic 1972 movie Deliverance who has forced himself on Democrats, violently raping them with his policies.Writing at the aptly titled "Seminal" blog at Firedoglake, Alabamagunn vents in a sometimes incorehent rant that he/she was seduced by Obama, and then horridly violated:I admit I kinda began to believe the hype–another bad omen; should’ve listend to Flav. When promises to end a senseless war, revive the middle class, combat and prosecute war crimes, meaningfully reform healthcare, curtail Wall Street’s abuse of power and...

Shame on Virginia Senate Majority Leader Dick Saslaw. A man who has spent the better part of three decades in the legislature in Richmond ought to have more sense than to insult any state resident – let alone an entire group of them. Saslaw, a Northern Virginia businessman and the leader of the newly minted Democratic majority, is in hot water for an ill-considered remark on an elevator at the capitol last week. His comments were either an insult to gun-rights supporters or rural voters or both. NO MATTER who was the target, the remarks were certainly not statesmanlike. Saslaw...

That's the real flaw in Christopher Dickey's "Deliverance" metaphor: If Cheney is Burt Reynolds, and the rest of America is Jon Voight, and the river is Iraq, who are the hillbillies? Well, presumably (for he doesn't spell it out) they're the dark forces you make yourself vulnerable to when you blunder into somewhere you shouldn't be. When the quartet returns to Atlanta a man short, they may understand how thin the veneer of civilization is, but they don't have to worry that their suburban cul-de-sacs will be overrun and reduced to the same state of nature as the backwoods. That's...

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - A law passed this year allows Arkansans of any age — even infants — to marry if their parents agree, and the governor may have to call a special session to fix the mistake, lawmakers said Friday. The legislation was intended to establish 18 as the minimum age to marry but also allow pregnant teenagers to marry with parental consent, bill sponsor Rep. Will Bond said. An extraneous "not" in the bill, however, allows anyone who is not pregnant to marry at any age if the parents allow it. "It's clearly not the intent to allow...

All that was missing was the theme music from Deliverance. Not content to condemn George Allen for raising the issue of Jim Webb's racy writing, Chris Matthews decided on this evening's Hardball to slur the entire Commonwealth of Virginia south of the DC suburbs.Interviewing Webb's campaign manager [Chris did indicate that he had unsuccessfully tried to get an Allen representative on the show], Matthews had this to say: "Not to take sides, but they've had this material since the day Jim Webb announced, and they've chosen to use it now with the risk that it implies, because everybody in northern...

Police say a former city resident had sex with his daughters for nearly two decades in an effort to produce what he considered a pure bloodline. Prosecutors say six children were born as a result of the sexual assaults. The man, who had since moved to Brooklyn, N.Y., is charged with nine counts of sexual assault, 13 counts of aggravated sexual assault, as well as endangering the welfare of a child, aggravated criminal sexual contact, criminal sexual contact and lewdness. His girlfriend also faces sexual assault charges. Prosecutors say the sexual assaults took place from 1985 through 2002, starting when...

Five siblings from Turkey who can only walk on all fours could provide science with an insight into human evolution, researchers have said. The three sisters and two brothers could yield clues to why our ancestors made the transition from four-legged to two-legged animals, says a UK expert. But Professor Nicholas Humphrey rejects the idea that there is a "gene" for bipedalism, or upright walking. A BBC documentary about the family will be shown on Friday 17 March. Professor Humphrey, from the London School of Economics (LSE), says that our own species' transition to walking on two feet must have...
