Chad Groening (OneNewsNow.com) Monday, February 03, 2014 A retired military chaplain says he was encouraged by questions asked by members of a House panel on religious liberty in the military. Last week the House Armed Service Committee held a hearing to get input on the impact of recent Department of Defense policies on the religious liberty of service members, including military chaplains. One of those who attended was retired U.S. Army Brigadier General Douglas Lee, a former chaplain who now serves as president of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty. Lee says he was impressed with the boldness of the questions asked by the panel. Original Article: Newsmax © 2014 Thomson/Reuters. All rights reserved. A Tennessee judge who ordered a baby's name changed from Messiah to Martin, saying the former was reserved for Jesus Christ, has been fired, court officials said on Tuesday.

In December 2013, Mark Rose established Genesis Alive, an organization disseminating information that advocates for the truth about the origins of life. After a near death experience as a bush pilot in Alaska, Rose says he accepted Christ as his Savior and radically changed his thinking, leaving behind his humanistic and godless worldview. From: The Bozell Column By Brent Bozell | January 4, 2014 Sarah Silverman celebrated Christmas in her usual mode: mocking Christians, and religion in general. On Twitter, she wrote “Happy Birthday, Jesus! I'm sorry [you] were murdered by people afraid of new ideas!” Her last HBO special in 2002 was even mockingly titled “Jesus Is Magic.” Her new special was called “We Are Miracles.” Once again in the new show, she made fun of the death of Jesus, as a Jew: “You’re welcome. If we hadn’t killed him, he wouldn’t even be famous.” Silverman then mentioned Scientology as crazy, but added “its no more bats--t crazy than every single religion. It’s just new. Christianity is super-old, but its f---ing crazy.” Silverman turned to mocking Catholics and confession. She claimed that Hitler could kill six million Jews, then go to confession, and have a priest say, “no problem, say ten Heil Marys, and Hitler goes to Heaven!” She also praised the late Mother Teresa for not being obsessed with her body image, then went for the humor by calling her “stick thin,” and adding “f—ing bitch." "I don't for one second think a wooden cross staked into the ground is offensive to the majority of the people that we serve." -Police Chief Jeremy Clark (Searcy, AR)—Police Chief Jeremy Clark is refusing to take down a cross that was planted on the lawn of the police department in Searcy a year before he took office after the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) contacted him with a request to remove it. "Someone put it there," said Clark. "I didn't put it there—I don't know who did. I wasn't going to remove it just because this organization in another state told us that we should." "The only person that sees that cross every day is me," he added, "unless someone is purposely trying to look for it. You can see these crosses in yards all over the community we service. I don't for one second think a wooden cross staked into the ground is offensive to the majority of the people that we serve." Click Here For More Information... Original Article: Christian Post Written by: Jacob Smith 2013-11-04 15:42:01 Kent Hovind, a teacher for 15 years and an evangelist for 12 years, gives in this sermon posted on YouTube 100 reasons why Evolution theory is what he called “stupid.” As a creationist, he says he believes in the Bible and has been speaking on creation, evolution and dinosaurs around the world. His sermon appears to be sort of an answer to what the evolutionist scientist Richard Dawkins once said: “It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet someone who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked),” according to New York Times. “I think evolution is stupid,” Hovind replies, defining the word “stupid” as “lacking normal intelligence;” “foolish.” BY ANUGRAH KUMAR, CHRISTIAN POST CONTRIBUTOR December 22, 2013|9:19 am A Republican senator in New York has opposed and is finding ways to remove a new billboard launched by the American Atheists group in Times Square that claims "nobody" needs Christ during Christmas. State Sen. Andrew Lanza from Staten Island, N.Y., is running a petition calling for "the immediate withdrawal" of the advertisement, a 40'x40' billboard that uses motion graphics to ask "Who needs Christ during Christmas?" and then crosses out the word "Christ" and replaces it with "Nobody." BY KATHERINE WEBER, CHRISTIAN POST REPORTER December 6, 2013|12:04 pm A major atheist group unveiled its own nonreligious holiday monument at Florida's capitol building in response to the recent installment of a nativity scene. The Freedom From Religion Foundation is hanging a secular banner at the state's capitol building in Tallahassee. The banner is reportedly a spoof on the classic nativity scene of Jesus in the manger. Instead of Jesus, there is a Bill of Rights laid in a manger with Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and the Statue of Liberty gazing admiringly at the slip of paper. The banner reads in part: "Let us also honor the birth of our Bill of Rights, which reminds us there can be no freedom OF religion without having freedom FROM religion in government." Published 26 November 2013 | Carey Lodge Original Article: Christianity Today A street preacher and TV evangelist has released a video criticising a new Bill that he says will violate the right of Christians to share the gospel. The Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Bill, which is currently going through the House of Lords, will replace the Labour Government's ASBO Bill. If the new law is passed, anyone over the age of 10 or a group of people in a public place who are perceived to be causing a nuisance to another person, can have an injunction taken out against them. This injunction will be called an IPNA - Injunction to Prevent Nuisance or Annoyance. |
