john14-6 & PreacherCop--

Well said!

The Day of Silence is nothing more than coercion thru peer pressure. The fact that the schools have allowed themselves to be hijacked for the purpose of social engineering, brainwashing and indoctrination in a completely immoral lifestyle is unacceptable. Homosexuals have already benefited greatly by living in a Christian nation which has been tolerant of their immoral behavior considering that sodomy laws have been on the books since just about the beginning of our nation. Homosexuals wish to claim victimization yet they are the current aggressors in the culture war doing all they can to silence Christians and anyone who disagrees with their chosen lifestyle. Just go to http://www.silencingchristians.com/ to see how they are trying to usurp our constitutionally protected rights of Freedom of Religion and Free Speech. Also, go to http://dayoftruth.org/ to see how to engage students in a discussion about the issue with truth and love.


Being a student of history John14-6 saved me from having to illustrate the history of nations that have declined and been swept away once such decadent behavior became common place.

As for loosely interpreted passages of scripture from Samuel with no reference to exactly which scriptures you are referring to does not support claims of homosexuality, and stating that there is nothing in the Bible condemning homosexuality is at the least disingenuous or possibly intentionally deceitful. The use of poetic language in detailing the brotherly love between two men who were as brothers and who were devout Jews, and who would have been at least cast out or worse for such behavior, is a real stretch of the imagination. The Bible has many references directly dealing with homosexuality and just how abhorrent it is to God, being a perversion of His purpose of creating male and female and us being His children with the spark of the divine in each of us. The fact that Christians stand up and try to reach the deceived, even though they know they might be mocked, ridiculed, attacked or even slandered, is proof of their love for their fellow man.

Luckily there is an answer to the problem. God sent His only son to wash away our sins so that we can be in right relationship with Him. By accepting Jesus as the Lord of your life you can live a life of righteousness through Him and His sacrifice, but you have to accept the free gift of salvation. You can’t earn it, you can’t win it, you can’t buy it, it’s and unmerited gift He has offered to us all. Deuteronomy 30:19 tells us “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live” so, as many are fond of saying these days, make good decisions, choose life.

The Bible teaches us to meditate on God's word daily, continually, to focus on those things that are lovely, beautiful and true, i.e., His word. Even when being taught to distinguish between a real bill and a forged bill you are taught to know a real bill so scrupulously that when you do see a counterfeit you will recognize it immediately.

As a well grounded Christian, who knows what God's word has to say about life and the world around us it may not be to problematic to digest such content. Although the Bible does tell us exactly how God feels about witchcraft and sorcery, i.e. an abomination, and should therefore be utterly avoided.

As for children, who are very impressionable, they should be protected from reading or viewing such material so that they are not misled. Rather, use God's advice and raise them up in the admonition of the Lord, train them up in the way they should go, and when they are old they shall not depart from it.

Yes, they should be taught about all varying viewpoints and beliefs, religious and otherwise, but always from a Biblical perspective and worldview. I speak from experience, having grown up reading all kinds of science fiction, fantasy novels to participating in dungeons and dragons for over 10 years, even though I was raised Christian. I was misled because I wouldn't dare be so closed minded as to believe that my parents, who had much more knowledge about God than I, could be right about such issues.

Proverbs 4:23 tells us "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." so it is of the utmost of importance to guard over what we allow ourselves to be exposed to and even more so for children. As the computer saying goes, garbage in, garbage out.

In Matthew 18:6 Jesus tells us "But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." I would say He probably feels pretty strongly about this kind of subversive induction of children into paganism and witchcraft through the guise of supposed innocent entertainment.

It’s great to see Ben Stein stand up for free speech in the arena of creation versus evolutionism instead of the current state sponsored endorsement of the religion of atheism that dominates in our educational institutions today. Atheism is a religion, as found by the courts, whose adherents cling dogmatically, even faithfully to their main mantra of evolutionism even though there exists no transitional forms in the fossil record and there is substantial scientific evidence that supports creation. There still exists not one shred of concrete evidence of the evolutionary theory; it still is simply hypothesis and conjecture. The evidence, or data, is the same it’s just a matter of how the data is interpreted. What we have here is a philosophical difference between two metaphysical belief systems, i.e., religious beliefs.

Is there any reason that we should be afraid of a free exchange of ideas and scientific discovery? Is not the educational arena supposed to be the marketplace of ideas? Is there a reason that when it comes to teaching evolutionism censorship is allowed instead of freedom of information, thought and discovery?

The 20th century is a shining gem of history. The century of reason, the century of atheism, the century when evolutionism was embraced by several leaders around the world such as Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot, and many others advancing social Darwinism and helping speed natural selection along resulting in the deaths of millions of innocent people to the tune of 170 millions, possibly more. More deaths than in all of the wars of recorded history combined in just one century. To deny this is to refute all the historical records that substantiate these atrocities perpetrated upon the human race in the name of social Darwinism and evolutionism.

These leaders too believed there was no God and therefore lived according to their own “moral” code or code of ethics as some of the bloggers have stated they believe in also. As these leaders gained power they persuaded their societies to adopt their atheistic view of life and government and reasoned very intelligently to remove the personhood of individuals they deemed inferior and therefore consigned them to death. After all, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” otherwise we are subject to the whimsical change of public opinion.

It is amazing how self righteous atheists are about their purported intelligence and use of reason and logic all the while insisting that people of faith in general, and Christians specifically are somehow devoid of intelligence and higher reasoning. Thus they show their ignorance. Evidently either unaware or intentionally deceitful about the fact that numerous scientific theories and disciplines which are still the basis of the modern scientific era were birth out of and as a direct result of the protestant reformation and were discoveries by Christians attempting to learn more about God and the universe he created. Therefore as Christians we know unequivocally where logic and reason come from.

Atheism on the other hand is irrational. Atheism denies the existence of God and is therefore a universal negative. Students of logic know that you cannot prove a universal negative. To prove that God does not exist one would have to examine every single part of the universe simultaneously, which of course would mean that you would have to be omniscient, which would disprove the theory that God does not exist since you would have to be one yourself, being that omniscience is a characteristic of deity. Therefore, atheism is a logical contradiction, and to affirm a logical contradiction is irrational.

It is amazing to me that on this Christian news website atheists have nothing better to do that harass and harangue Christians and their views. Have they not evolved beyond their need to be heard? Do they not faithfully believe that in due time we shall all evolve and automatically have the same fine logic, reason and morals as they have? It also appears that some of the atheistic bloggers on this website are definitely proponents of the view of the aforementioned group of despots stating that they wish some individuals “drop dead” and thus wishing to hasten natural selection along. I certainly hope that this is not true, although I have witnessed this type of vehement diatribe numerous times upon visiting this website to review news articles.

I wish you the peace that surpasses all understanding and that you would come to know the saving grace of Jesus.
