Allahu Akbar and pass me another clip!

This was originally posted on my Yahoo! 360 blog in early Sept 2006.


Is there any place on earth that is safe from Muslim terrorists? In one of the most moderate Arab nations on earth, a British tourist (along with six others) was gunned down in Jordan today. His crime - being from the West. In America we'd call that a hate crime ... on second thought, it would never get classified that way, CAIR would see to that. But it is a shame that we in the West continue to travel to a part of the world that is simply hates us for being who we are. It is yet another example of our ignorance, thinking that they will like us if we're nice to them. This is the communism of the turn of the 20th century.

When I was in school, I was taught about this wonderful idealist named Lenin. But Lenin was the monster that Stalin emulated. Funny what they conveniently leave out of the textbooks. Today, the bin Laden's and Zarqawi's of the Mulsim world got their "inspiration" from Sayyid Qutb. Never heard of of him? Neither had I until the latest Christian Research Journal, Vol 29, No. 4, 2006. If you want a picture painted for you of just who this guy was, whenever you hear the name bin Laden or Zarqawi, just think Joseph Stalin. Qutb was the inspiration for all of the evil these men spew; he was Lenin. The only difference between Qutb and Lenin is that Qutb considered everything he suggested to be done, and that bin Ladin and Zawqawi do, should be done in the name of Allah. All of the problems of the Muslim world could be blamed on the evil West. Its the basis of Wahhabism in Saudi Arabia (and those nice little schools they set up in all of the West countries. "Class, today we're going to learn how to be a suicide bomber") - and that they've exported to every nation possible. Remember that nice man named Khomeini of Iran (think - 1979), one of Qutb's students.

In the Christian West, we do the same thing, well, except for all of the targeted killing of the innocent (humm, abortion, I guess I'll have to think about that one ...). We follow men too, but for the material things or the personal experiences they can promise us. Give a $100 and receive $10,000! “Your not sick – claim that healing, in Jesus' name!” Remember laughing revivals? ("But they're real, right?") Come get a double portion, and bark like a dog too! Or, we follow some one because of their politics, because if we could just pass this one law, everything will change.

But these aren't the examples that we, as believers, as Chrisitans, should be following. Jesus told us that the greatest commandment was to “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” (Mat 22:37-40) But how on earth can we do that when we are in love with wealth or money and power. In reality, its not those “things” that we're in love with, its our reflection in the mirror, ourselves. We want what we want when we want it, and its only a “white” lie, right?

But where is our love for God, our devotion to Christ? These terrorists have a thousand times our devotion, for a cause that promotes the innocent slaughter of thousands, and hundreds of thousands if they get their way, all for a false god, one chosen by random out of the 360 available at the big black box in Mecca, Saudi Arabia in the 7th century. Kind of like the Jehovah's Witnesses, always knocking on someone's door ... While we in the West chase “the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life.” (1 John 2:16) If Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, don't you think we should start living like it really is true? Are you living for Jesus, really? Or are you living for yourself?

Its My world and I can do what I want to!

This was originally posted in my Yahoo! 360 blog, Oct 7, 2006: Fortunately there doesn't seem to be any horrible world events to report on right now, just the normal carnage in Iraq (the daily unending Muslim Islamo-fascist terrorists murdering innocent Muslim men, women and children – and any American they can find), political scandals in the West (like Rep Foley chasing young teenage boys), and the normal raping and murdering that goes on all over the world. Everybody wants to exercise power over everyone else. Everybody wants to be in charge, but no one really knows what to do or how to act once they get in charge. If the terrorists win in Iraq, what kind of a government do you think they will establish? Do you think they've even thought about it yet? Or is killing the only thing they really know how to do? Have you ever thought about why its so hard to lead? Most of the time the wrong people want to lead, and the right people don't want anything to do with leadership. W...

My God can beat up your God

Today, I'd like to tackle omnipotence. Its really not an attribute of God with which Christians have a problem. I would guess that we would all agree that God is omnipotent, since most of us still hold to the belief that God created the heavens and the earth, right? Some of us (although I'm not one of them) believe that God needed several hundred million years to create it, but He did create it. We might question His ability to be everywhere, all of the time, or His ability to know everything there is to know, but creative power? No, that's not really in question. So why is it that we seem to act like He doesn't have the power to do anything else in the earth today? Its down right schizophrenic! Don't believe me? I'll get to that a little later ... The Jehovah's Witnesses are really good and making sure that you know the word 'Trinity' isn't in the Bible. Well, I'd would like to remind us all that neither are the words omnipotence, ...

Devotion to God

This was originally posted on my Yahoo! 360 blog in early Oct 2006. The world is such a fickle place. Every one wants their history rewritten. This past Thursday, the "Pope quoted from a book recounting a conversation between 14th-century Byzantine Christian Emperor Manuel Paleologos II and a Persian scholar on the truths of Christianity and Islam." ( Foxnews.com ) The quote of the Emperor was as follows: 'Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached."' Now the Muslim world expects the Pope to apologize for a truthful statement. It would seem that the Muslim world wants Islam to be known as a peaceful religion, but they just can't stop reacting violently to anything major or minor some one says to prove that they might just be non-violent. In the words of Fox News the world sits in fear that Muslims may break out in another...

A simple beginning

First, let me start by saying that I am a Christian first and foremost. I don't expect some of you to believe what I will be writing, nor do I expect you to agree with it. I see things from a slightly different perspective and I acknowledge that it is colored by my faith. Before you respond (or even read any further), you must also admit that the same is true for you. Each of us believe what we believe because of our background (how we grew up, who we interacted with, how we were treated by friends and family) or particular circumstances in our lives (things that we did or things that occurred to us), as well as the God given personality that we all have. Just like you I have a worldview, but mine is a Christian one. And just like you, everything is filtered through that lens. And since you do the exact same thing, please don't pretend that you don't. Second, I think, investigate and have opinions about a lot of topics. Most of those topics are in some w...

I want it!

Several days ago, I was trolling MSNBC technology news and I ran across this: http://www.teslamotors.com/index.php?js_enabled=1 What an awesome looking car! And the technology – you have to take the time to read about it! Now I’m not an environmentalist, but I do care about the environment. More than that, I’m tired of helping the Islamic fascist nations rape us on oil prices. ‘Course, we were the idiots that set up OPEC, weren’t we. I’d really like to see them go back to herding camels in the deserts, instead of promoting terrorism all over the world because their so damn rich and have just too much time on their hands. Sorry, that’s not very Christian like of me, but I’m really tired of hearing all of the terrorist acts that happen every day in this world, all over the world. Columbia, Philippines, England, Britain, Spain, USA, France, Netherlands, Russia, China, India, Iraq, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and nearly every country in Africa (these las...
