Jesus Who?

I find it very strange how some people seem to think there are actually people escpecially here in the USA who have never heard of Jesus, and his "good news'. Please, Please if you think you have a closer relationship with Jesus than me and that you actually have something new or interesting to say that I have not already heard, please do not waste your time or mine.

By the way, I found Jesus in a Casino in Gulfport, Mississippi. Nice guy.

Mr. More Gavelled for God Comments

Montana House Rep. More rose to speak on the bill, and began by saying a Judiciary Committee hearing that morning on a bill to define a person as beginning at human conception had been “cut short” by the call to begin House debate on HB645.Committee members had been discussing issues of God and conception, yet then were called to the House “to the sound of money falling from the skies, for all of us to roll over in and lap up,”

More said. “I have to ask, what of this question of God? What God do we serve? Is this all pretense? (YES) The pledge of allegiance, the invocation, every time we come to the (House) floor?” (YES!)

At that point, Rep. Dennis Himmelberger, R-Billings, who was chairing the debate on HB645, told More to make sure he stuck to the subject of the bill.“I am indeed,” More said. “If you can’t grasp that, Mr. Chairman, I-”“Representative More, you are out of order,” Himmelberger said curtly, as several other House members shouted out their displeasure with More’s behavior. As More tried to apologize and continue, Himmelberger twice told him to “be seated.”

Rep. Ron Stoker, R-Darby, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, then stood up to say the human conception bill had a full hearing before the committee, and that it hadn’t been cut short.

Atheist billboards are popping up around the country.

They are a good tool for a membership drive and are not placed to upset people. But, of course it will raise hackles, thats ok.

Freedom-equality claims false per Lawrence

IR Letter to the Editor - 03/19/09
OMG. There are still people out there who believe in Ayn Rand. The letter from Joe Coco (IR, March 9) has all the markings of an adolescent, first-time libertarian. Coco falsely frames equality and freedom as a dichotomy, claims Democrats regard inequality as immoral, and through some neurological malfunction enlists the Christian theologian, C. S. Lewis, on the side of inequality.When we speak of “equality” in democratic theory, we do not intend that the continual life circumstances of all people be equal. The reference, rather, is to equal rights under the law and to public policy that results approximately in equal opportunity. Each of these is an essential part of “freedom.” To say that promoting equal rights renders Democrats against freedom is equivalent to saying that a fixation on “freedom” as they construe it makes Republicans prone to enjoy the freedom to gambol in an unregulated capitalism that greedily plunges the world into a depression.Contrary to Coco’s assertion, what Democrats regard as immoral is government policy that deliberately shifts resources from the poor to the rich, as has been the case in the United States since about 1980. Finally, when those who falsely claim to be the party of Jesus distort the writings of C. S. Lewis on the side of ignoring the teachings of Jesus, they simply compound their lunacy with hypocrisy.
