Baby Jesus is just all right with me. :)

Pushy, of course, is in the eye of the beholder. Let me put an Ahuramazda, a Koran, a statue of Mahavir and a couple of Buddhist stupas on the courthouse lawn at Xmas and let's see who complains about "pushy."

You're probably being "pushy" to exhibit attitudes and beliefs that do not correspond to the attitudes and beliefs of your neighbors.

PC liberals admit to hating Christianity and oppressing Christians whenever they can. However they say that Christianity has "had it coming" and this is "blowback" for 1700 years of Christian oppression of everyone else.

Not really, I just enjoy blurting that out in a loud voice to see what reaction I get.

Interesting blog I ran across while reading more about the tree that was the start of this thread.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'M')eanwhile, behaviors and actions that would have been considered wrong, shameful, or evil just 50 years ago are now being venerated and lauded. And of course, this is all done in the name of (cough) "diversity" and "tolerance."

The dead canary in the mine was such a small thing, really. It's only a canary, right? But it was an indicator of something much bigger, something potentially lethal or explosive. And right now we are surrounded by dead canaries.

Every day the head of the Fed stands in front of a microphone and lies to us. So does our president. So do the members of Congress. So do the talking heads in the mainstream media. We have riots going on in England and France and Greece and Ireland. Government employees are required to take naked photos of children and grope nuns before permitting them to travel. Black Friday shoppers stampede and threaten and hurt others over cheap televisions and laptops. The list of appalling acts is endless. How many dead canaries can we count? Hundreds, perhaps thousands.

What astounds me is how blind people are to these symbols of an imminent explosion. Every day, people wade through dozens of dead canaries, stepping over them or kicking them out of the way or just denying that they exist at all. There is almost a universal refusal to accept what a dead canary – or a dead thorn tree – signifies.

Remember, the last time this thorn tree was chopped down was nearly 400 years ago during a time of tremendous societal upheaval in England, a time of war, death and destruction. And now the thorn tree is cut down again. Is it only my husband and me who can see the dead canaries littering the ground at its base? Are we on the verge of a similarly devastating religious, economic or political upheaval?

While I don't agree with everything she wrote I found this piece of writing compelling and thought provoking.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

The Bible endorses slavery (even Jesus), rape, genocide, tyranny etc etc, and it didn't give us voting, suffrage, freedom of assembly, association or speech, and sure as hell did not give us freedom of religion except in terms of killing everyone that believes something different.

Folks like WND is why I own guns. They can believe whatever they want as long as they do it from more than 400 yards away.

That was the takehome message of that piece.

WND is a corrosive mixture of religion and political conspiracy theories. They're way off on the fringe beyond Glenn Beck. But lately it's also become more compulsory that the mix of politics and religion takes the shape a doomsday cult where their critics get their comeuppance in some sort of vast bloody purge of the conspirators, whether it's divine or civil.

Apparently it's not too way off on the fringe, there seems to be some meeting of minds here:

Yeah, I'm not sure who these people are. I'd like to see some references. I've never met a "PC liberal" who was interested in oppressing Christians. Not saying they don't exist, just I've never met one or heard one talk, read one on the internets, etc.

So maybe links to specific speeches, blog posts, etc would be helpful.

Most liberals are probably Christians themselves.

That's what they peddle at WND.com.

These tales of persecution are to isolate the members and make the afraid to go outside, which is typical cult indoctrination.

The defining feature of belonging to the "in group" of these people is to believe in conspiracy theories. The defining characteristic is to accept propaganda without question, 2+2=5, the chocolate ration has increased from 30 grams to 25 grams.

That's why they are so far out of bounds of mainstream religion, because they are absorbing all sorts of secular political beliefs and treating them as the word of God, which is what it is to belong to a cult. The Millerites started this Rapture crap, then you see Christian swallowing news from The Washington Times (run by a lunatic that claims to be Jesus), now they are glomming onto Mormon fringe cultism from the 1950s by way of Glenn Beck.

The craziness is required to be part of the in group. The political craziness, the dishonesty is a religious sacrament. That is a cult.

And whenever you have a terrorist religious cult, they live in a shell of paranoia, and they are generally a doomsday cult. There are plenty of paranoid Christian doomsday cults in the US, heck there's some clown predicting the Rapture for May 21, 2011.

Just don't forget to kill them! Especially if they are your children.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'D')euteronomy 13:5-10
5 That prophet or dreamer must be put to death, because he preached rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery; he has tried to turn you from the way the LORD your God commanded you to follow. You must purge the evil from among you. 6 If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, "Let us go and worship other gods" (gods that neither you nor your fathers have known, 7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8 do not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity. Do not spare him or shield him. 9 You must certainly put him to death. Your hand must be the first in putting him to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone him to death, because he tried to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.


Which just kinds of shows you how far out of the box the modern politicized "Christian" has gone trying to make their political beliefs into Christiand dogma.

And remember, Revelation says the Beast is a politician and the great majority of Christians are supposed to think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread. They are supposed to worship the anti-Christ. I'm sure the World Net Daily people would push to the front of the line.
