No, it won’t matter at all in the end, Simon. I agree.

So, you think it is perfectly okay to come to MY blog and essentially tell me to keep my opinion to myself? That is the height of arrogance, but liberals rarely, if ever, see it that way. You believe – obviously – that you have every right to insinuate your opinion into the mix, though I should keep silent about the things that disturb me.

Let me explain something…the TV show in question (which has NOT been renewed for a second season and has therefore been cancelled), has the word “CHRISTIAN” in the title. It is because of that that I felt the need to comment. Why? Because it is apparently COMMENTING on the lifestyle of those who are considered to be CHRISTIAN. Since I AM a CHRISTIAN, then it is right up my alley and as such, I have every right to critique the show.

Had the show been titled “Good PROFESSING Christian B*tches,” I would not have had a problem with it, because it is very clear from their lifestyle that the ladies in the show cannot be authentic Christians at all. The fact that the average person (you included) makes absolutely NO distinction between people who merely CALL themselves “Christian” and those who truly ARE Christian, it behooves me to at least try to educate people about the large gap that exists between the two groups, in spite of the fact that my efforts may be a fantastic waste of time where you are concerned.

“GCB” denigrates WOMEN and it also castigates CHRISTIANS, which is why – no doubt – people like yourself enjoy it so much. People who watch and enjoy the show are actually laughing AT Christians and Christianity.

If it was a show in which HOMOSEXUALS or LESBIANS were ridiculed, no doubt you would find it extremely offensive and certainly gay activists would be out in force in an attempt to get the show cancelled. That would undoubtedly be fine with you, but since you are likely not a Christian, there is no love loss with respect to a show in which Christians are held up to ridicule.

If it was a show in which Islam was being denigrated, you don’t think groups like CAIR would be all over it? People like you would probably be standing right beside them urging sponsors to cut ties with the show and demanding the TV network cancel it. Yet, when a show ventures into my territory as a Christian, I’m supposed to ignore it. What are you, nuts? Obviously, you’re deluded.

A couple of other things…I am a taxpaying, natural-born citizen of the United States. As such, I have EVERY right to peacefully protest if I choose to do so. I can boycott. In essence, I can avail myself of every legal means of attempting to get this show cancelled. I can try to educate people like yourself, though it may well be a lost cause. Yet I am compelled to continue, just as gay activists feel compelled to fight for the “normalization” of their lifestyle and the passage of laws which will make it against the law to offer a biblical opinion that homosexuality is wrong. These individuals who argue that they are tolerant are some of the most intolerant people around when it comes to defending their abnormality. They are not above harassing people, wishing death upon them, and even vandalizing private property if it serves their purposes. Nothing is sacred and observing the law of the land is not something they really care about. The Occupy Movement is another example of people who circumvent the laws. They protest illegally. They defecate on police cars, or they push police officers on bikes and motorcycles over, or they slam them on the head from behind. There have been rapes and shootings in the midst of Occupy gatherings, but in spite of this, much of the world applauds their efforts. Yet, the Tea Party is constantly vilified in spite of its obedience to the laws and the fact that they gather to support the U.S. Constitution. At the same time, let a true Christian stand up and speak out against the garbage that is on TV and we are shouted down by the likes of you and others. Who do you think you are? I have the exact same rights that you do…assuming you are a full citizen of the United States.

Had not the word “CHRISTIAN” been in the title of the show, it probably would not have even been on my radar. Since the obvious subject of the show INCLUDES the fact that the main players are supposedly CHRISTIAN, I have every right to insert my opinion into the mix. The show is talking about people who are portrayed as CHRISTIANS, Kathryn. Do you GET that?

Regarding all the sexually-charged advertisements, yep, they certainly exist. But I don’t see those ads promoting or attempting to promote Christians (PROFESSING or otherwise) in the roles of sexually-overdosed characters. Then again, I don’t pay that much attention to ads in general. Because of that, I can ignore them easily. In fact, I rarely watch network TV and when commercials DO come on, they are easily MUTED and ignored. I also do not watch supposedly Christian television stations, because most of them preach a message that is so far removed from the Bible, it barely resembles it. Too many Christian “televangelists” are absolute SCHEISTERS in my opinion. Their love of money and fame is sickening and appalling. They often so water down the Word that you would be hard pressed to actually hear a true gospel message from them. I have better things to do with my time and I certainly do not need YOU or anyone else to tell me what to watch, but then again, the hubris that is part and parcel of the left-wing movement seems to know no bounds.

As far as “right-winged nutters,” you need to do some research. This country was FOUNDED by “right-wingers”! All of our Founding Fathers were right-wingers AND Deists to boot. The people involved in the Boston Tea Party were right-wingers. This country is BASED on the principles of the right, which includes SMALLER government, which translates to LESS taxation, and far less governmental INTRUSION into a person’s life.

If you don’t like my opinion, follow your own advice and IGNORE it. But do NOT come to MY blog (which I pay for, by the way) and tell me to lighten up, or to get a life, or try to imply that I am either a hypocrite or that I have no right to comment on things that are important to me. I hope I’ve made myself abundantly clear, Kathryn.

Thank you and have a wonderful day.

How does God save men?

That’s the ticket here. Because the salvation program God applies is the same with every human being, whether your psychically in tuned or not. So how does God save men, Pam?

It’s not by sending you into an astral plane through astral projection or receiving a vision through a dream, no matter how great that might. It’s not by you looking at a sign or some miracle and suddenly your eyes are lifted and you finally see. NO.

God saves you by applying the word of God to your heart and transforming you into a creature of the light, turning you into a child of God, the elect, the saved, the bride of Christ.

“Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.”

Now, who are those who are saved? Unfortunately, that’s God’s decision. He is the ultimate being who decides who lives and who dies.

“Jacob I loved and Essau I hated.”

In other words, there really is no free-will. You can pray all you want and accept Christ as your savior, but if you’re not written in the book of life–if you haven’t been drawn to the word–you are nothing but dead bones in a tomb and will remain that way.

“For many will be called, but only a few chosen.” — Matthew

I don’t personally don’t believe Obama was born overseas for the simple reason that makes Obama too vulnerable, and The Powers wouldn’t have allowed his appointment in the first place with that kind of obvious liability. You can always hope though, but I don’t think the truth (whatever it is) will really matter practically.

I lack respect for your religion because I see absolutely NOTHING peaceful about it. It breeds contempt because of the misery that stems from it, or maybe you are unaware of all those atrocities that I have referred to which occur on a daily basis throughout the world? The reason you do not is solely because you are blind to these facts. You are too interested in attempting to prove the veracity of Islam instead of citing it’s difficulties and problems.

Your diatribe says far more about you than you have intended to say about me. I’ll let your comments speak for themselves…

You said, “I came as servant of god with my arms open in embrace, and you pushed back with hate. This is the cycle that makes the weapons manufacturers so successful. There is a shield around your head and heart that obviously refuses to let anything different enter, and I am sorry for that.”

No, you came to preach your Islamic rhetoric with fully closed eyes thinking that you were talking to someone who is not educated about Islam. You failed.

It really does not matter how much you have “seen in this world.” You can be (and are) still blind to the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, preferring to believe the ravings of a man who lived hundreds of years AFTER Jesus, than to believe Jesus Himself. You are blind and that is all there is to it. The god you worship is not the God of the Bible.

When I see the atrocities that occur throughout the world on a daily basis by Muslims who claim to believe in a “peaceful” god, it is impossible to see anything but hatred, yet you say I am a “hater.” So-called moderate Muslims like yourself do absolutely nothing to engender respect for themselves or Islam because they are too busy attempting to point of the perceived fallacies with someone else’s religion, while attempting to prop up Islam. Please remember, you came to MY blog. I did not seek you out.

You said, “I love my freedom, I love my country, and I love what our flag represents, but I do not love that my tax dollars go to a government run by corporations seeking profit from destruction..ie Halliburton etc.”

You love “your country”? You mean the United States? If it makes you feel any better, I HATE the fact that my tax dollars go to pay for millions of abortions each year and billions are given to the “Palestinians” to improve their living conditions in the Middle East. But I can do nothing about it, so we all have to live with what the government does. You should be proud of the fact that our government consists of a man who is most likely Muslim and who is attempting to destroy this country for the same reasons you mention: imperialism. That should make you very happy. If Mr. Obama gets another four years to complete what he has started, we can expect a huge change in the United States during that time, one I am not looking forward to seeing.

I have NOT pushed back with hate, as you say. I have pushed back with truth, though truth seems to be up for grabs these days and is often referred to as “hate-speech” by people who are unable to handle the truth.

You said, “You are more interested in being right than being understanding.”

I am more interested in helping/hoping you see the truth. I’m sorry if that offends you, but calling me a “fascist and fanatic” does nothing to prove of your genuine concern and supposed love for me. It simply proves that you can call me names and you do so out of anger and hatred. If that makes you feel better, great, but it won’t help you avoid the truth.

How is it possible that YOUR religion and MINE can find common ground? They are at odds with one another as we do not worship the same God, we have a completely different view of what constitutes salvation, and many within Islam believe that hatred and violence is what is required by Allah to bring in the next Caliphate; a Caliphate I bet you would willingly participate in if it came to that.

Aside from the fact that Abraham was the father of the promised son, Isaac, and the other son, Ishmael (who was NOT the son of promise), there are no commonalities between Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. It ends there. Christians trace their lineage back through to Isaac, from which line Jesus was born into this world. Supposedly, Muhammad traces his lineage back to Ishmael, yet there is absolutely no proof of that. Even if there was, it does not prove anything other than the fact that he can claim Abraham as his “father.” This does not mean anything as both Jacob and Esau came from the same father, but one was roundly rejected by God while the other was accepted. It is not lineage alone that makes someone significant. It is how God sees that individual and how He consequently blesses them.

Of course I believe that I have the truth. I’m assuming YOU also believe YOU have the truth? If you do not thoroughly believe that, then obviously you are wasting your time. Either Christianity – based on what Jesus Himself has said – is true or it is not. If it is not, then I am wasting my time believing in something that has no basis in fact.

Again I will say…I pray that God will open your eyes to the truth (and fallacies) of your ideological system the world knows as Islam.

You said, “I am done with this. Thank you my brother, may god grant you peace.”

Thank you. May God open your eyes.

Its obvious that you lack respect for others who don’t view the world as you do, and I am hopeful one day you may come to realize your utter disrespect.

It is because of people like you on both sides of issues that we have ongoing struggle, violence, and mistrust across the globe. Your rhetoric mirrors about Christianity as a terrorist leader’s does about Islam. Both are firm, arrogant, and completely lacking in empathy and understanding. My family grew up alongside real Christians and real Jews, and I’ll be honest with you…though they may agree with some of what you’re saying, most of them would denounce your approach and arrogant attitude. Religion is something that can never be proven and is solely based and driven by faith and virtue…so for you to claim yours is somehow more correct and mine invalid, well that is just ignorant.

Also, antisemitism is something born of the West, not from Muslims. The west tried to obliterate the Jews, felt guilty, and stole land from innocent families that have lived there for many hundreds of years to give to the Jews. If our governments want to act using Policy rather than religion then this is totally ludicrous. Saying that this is ok, is like saying you want a government run by religion, which you obviously say you are completely against(ie your comments regarding our supposed takeover.) That is a huge contradiction that must be pointed out. If the U.S. and the west want to be seen as countries of policy and not domination…well then they can’t go around fulfilling the bible and claim it as a political venture. Israel was clearly a reaction of guilt from the West, and the middle east is torn to this day because of it. Do you find it ironic that Jews and Muslims used to live as neighbors side by side before the creation of Israel ever since the Muslims claimed Jerusalem back from the invading Christians? I do. If a nation invaded the U.S. and granted all of the Land back to the Native Americans…how would you react? How would you react if soldiers busted down your door and told you and your family to leave at gunpoint because the land belonged to Native Americans? I know this is kind of silly to bring up, but so is your point about how the Jews were promised that land. Fact is, the middle east was a peaceful place before the West got a hold of it. Maybe it is better to understand causes rather than to point out effects, am I right? So don’t pass the antisemitism hot potato into Muslim hands. It is more of an Arab vs Israeli issue and it just happens that most Arabs are Muslim and most Israelis are Jews. Let’s make that clear.

It is the West that created the problem and the solution that led to the new conflict in the Middle-east. We can both agree on that I’m sure. It is the West that carved Africa like pie and raped the land of its resources. It is the West that chained Women and Children into ships so that they can endure a lifetime of slavery to the fine Christian people of the south…it is the West that is responsible for all the atrocities resulting from civil wars and fighting tribes in Africa that remain to this day. Any High school history student can tell you that. You fear Islam from taking over, well…maybe you can understand how others in this world fear the West from taking over. I love my freedom, I love my country, and I love what our flag represents, but I do not love that my tax dollars go to a government run by corporations seeking profit from destruction..ie Halliburton etc. However, I know there are real Christians out there who believe in the unconditional love from god, maybe one day you can meet them.

So please don’t call me Blind, because these eyes have seen much in this world…some I wish onto no one. The western media is totally biased, so is the eastern media like Al-Jazeera. All of media today is driven by sales and numbers…they will feed you what you want to see, period. Fox is not going to do a special on the peaceful nature of Muslims, and Al-Jazeera will not do a special on the grace of Christians and Jews. This is obvious. Most Americans don’t really know where their tax dollars go let alone know who represents them in government. These are facts of reality, and the stem of conflict in the world.

I am Kurdish, and the lineage of my people dates back near the time the earliest civilizations. This is why we have ancient Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike. Arabs,Turks, and other groups have committed many genocides on my people, and one thing is clear. Violence is man’s choice, not gods.
I can tell you that I have seen first hand what violence and war do. I have been a refugee twice before the age of six and can tell you from personal experience as a victim of persecution, you sound like a fascist and a fanatic. You are more interested in being right than being understanding.

I came as servant of god with my arms open in embrace, and you pushed back with hate. This is the cycle that makes the weapons manufacturers so successful. There is a shield around your head and heart that obviously refuses to let anything different enter, and I am sorry for that.

I am done with this. Thank you my brother, may god grant you peace.

If the Spanish Inquisition was taking place TODAY, there would be MILLIONS of authentic Christians out in protest!

Are you aware that anti-Semitism is on the rise AGAIN? Do you know why? It is in large part due to the radicals within Islam, who have sworn themselves to wiping Jews off the face of the earth.

You said, “A murderer is a murderer, and in Islam violence is not mandated nor encouraged by any means.”

Really? I have read the Qur’an and in fact, I have three separate translations of it and it absolutely AMAZES me how many times the Qur’an teaches to kill the infidels! What, you have not noticed those verses yourself? Anyone who is not Muslim is considered an infidel and should be killed. There is very little context to the Qur’an. It is a collection of sayings allegedly spoken by Muhammad. Do you wish me to start quoting the Qur’an to you about how you as a Muslim should kill me because I am NOT one?

If a Muslim attempts to leave Islam, he is marked for EXECUTION. No such reaction is found within Christianity.

You’re right…the KKK is not a Christian organization and neither is the New Black Panther party…

There have been MANY Christians who have stood AGAINST the KKK over the years. When was the last time you stood AGAINST radical Islam?

You said, “I do not understand how you can rationally proclaim that Muslims inwardly approve of terrorists, murder, and rape.”

It is because we NEVER see so-called moderate Muslims actively engaged in standing AGAINST such action. It is by your deliberate SILENCE that people come to believe that you approve of it. Surely you cannot be so stupid to not understand the correlation?

You said, “Sure, we can all find small differences in our religions and try to emphasize them as a means to prove a point, but do you really think that is what god wants? Do you really think that god wants us to oppose each other in our quest for his mercy?”

Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me,” (John 14:6). This is no small difference between your religion and Christianity. It is a MAJOR difference. Muhammad came along some 600 years LATER and decided that Jesus did not die on the cross. He decided that Jesus was not really the Son of God (God, the Son). These are not minor issues. They DEFINE what Christianity is all about and for one man to come along AFTER the fact and decide that Christians are believing something Muhammad says is a lie constitutes fraud on the part of Muhammad.

The reality is that YOUR means of salvation is completely different from Christianity’s means of salvation. If you are happy with your religion, then so be it, but please do not come to my blog and attempt to change my opinion about Islam because my opinion about Islam comes from my own STUDY of it. I have copies of the Qur’an, copies of various Hadith. I have read commentaries by leading Muslims and I KNOW what they say and what they teach. I also SEE what they do in the world.

I do NOT get my information about Islam from FOX News and keep your opinions about FOX to yourself. FOX is the ONLY broadcast media that actually portrays DIFFERENCES in opinions. They have liberal commentators as well as conservative on their shows. Does CNN? Does MSNBC? Does MSN.com? NOPE.

But more importantly, there are MANY places on the ‘Net where I can go to learn about things without having to rely on CNN, MSNBC or FOX News at all.

You said, “I respect your religion, as you are my brother and a servant of god.”

I am not your brother. We are worlds apart in our beliefs. YOUR religion of Islam denigrates Christianity AND Jesus, making Him out to be a liar. I WISH you were my brother, but in order for that to happen, you would have to become a Christian and walk away from Islam.

You said, “When I see an Israeli tank shoot its cannon directly into a fully occupied home of an innocent family, I don’t feel rage for the west…instead I see misguidance fueled by misfortune.”

That’s great, but are you aware of exactly how many years Israel has put up with rockets being lobbed into various areas of Israel from the Gaza Strip by Arabs and who have ALSO killed many innocent individuals?

The Old Testament is very clear on the nation of Israel. It is GOD’S Land and He gave it to Israel. Israel is currently surrounded by ARAB (Muslim) nations and they are not happy. Iran has publicly stated on numerous occasions that they are planning to completely eradicate Israel from the face of the earth.

Where is Islam and its religion of “peace?” All I see is death and hatred among Muslims. Do you have any idea what average Muslims have done to England, or to France? How about to Belgium? In case you have not heard, many to most Muslims believe that a new caliphate is coming; one in which Islam will dominate the world. This does not set well with the average non-Muslim. Yet you say that we should all just get along. We would very much like to except that too many Muslims are pushing the issue and screaming for the death of all infidels.

You are a blind man trying to see good in a system where no good exists.

You said, “I do not respect your views on my faith, and I really hope that you can find it in your heart to caste hatred out of your heart. Because if you don’t, then there is not much separating you from the accusations you bring forth about us.”

My comments and beliefs have NOTHING to do with hatred, though it has become very clear to me over the past few years that what often motivates Muslims to embrace their destructive course of actions are abject hatred for anyone who is not Muslim. Yet, you deny these things, pretending to believe that those considered to be radicals within Islam are few and far between. You deliberately lie to yourself and expect me to go along with your lies.

Take the time to actually READ your Qur’an! Don’t simply take my word for what it teaches. Read it yourself. It won’t take long because it’s not that long of a book. It is filled with reprehensible and atrocious verbiage that is only designed to teach hatred, especially toward Jews.

Islam is mot definitely NOT a religion of peace. I wish you could see that, but you have been raised in a bubble, I’m sorry to say and you are too quick to shrug off the problems with Islam instead of opposing them.

You said, “I come from an ethnicity that includes Jews, Muslims, and Christians. A region where the bible is still read in Aramaic, Jews still practice Sabbath, and Muslims go to Friday prayer every week. A place where a Jew could make a reference to god, and both the Christian and Muslim would understand who that god was. I grew up in an area where we all lived in peace because we didn’t feel the need to challenge each other. I now live in the U.S., and am fortunate for my perspective.”

So you now live in the U.S.? A land that is slowly being squeezed by CAIR and other pro-Islamic groups? Where textbooks are being rewritten to denigrate Christianity and Judaism, but to prop up Islam?

YOU wrote to me after reading MY blog. What I wrote in my blog about the actions of Muslims is easily verifiable. I did not say these things out of hatred. I simply reported on them and that truth is easily verified.

I see what Islam does to people. I see how women are treated. I see how gays are executed by hanging. I see how Christians are murdered all in the name of Allah. I do NOT see so-called moderate Muslims protesting the actions of those within Islam who perpetrate these crimes against humanity. You need to wake up and stop trying to defend something that is indefensible.

I’m sorry to say that though I respect the fact that you can worship as you choose, I have absolutely NO respect for your religion. I pray that your eyes will be open to the truth.
