Conservative Culture

Lots of fuss over Jesus walking on sheets of ice and a piece of fiction called the Duh Vinci Code. It isn’t so much different than the critics of the Constitution and the lives of the founding fathers. The followers are all misguided, deluded or at least misdirected until more wiser counsel can be obtained. No doubt it will have to come from the left to straighten out the crazed conservative zealots.

Liberals have long been tampering, undermining and basically lying about the truth for years in the church. In many MSC’s the brand of liberal Christianity would not more resemble the original than Socialist France would resemble 1800 America. For that matter, little of the liberals vision for America would resemble the vision laid out by the founders. So Cal Thomas goes after the latest moon-bats in the religious realm. Perhaps you will see the similarities in this excerpt.

Newspapers also carried a story about a Florida State University scientist who speculated that Jesus didn’t really walk on water; he walked on ice. The scientist theorized there must have been an unusual cold snap 2,000 years ago that froze the Sea of Galilee. This begs the question how Jesus was able to pull off such a stunt when Peter also walked on water, before his lack of faith sank him.

The New York Times piled on by trumpeting the discovery of a fossil in Arctic Canada as a “missing link,” which it editorialized “puts the lie to creationist beliefs.”

Not exactly.

Next was a story on the “Gospel of Judas,” a work written between 130 and 170 C.E., long after the events it purports to describe. In this document, Jesus is revealed as having urged Judas to betray him. That a number of Judas’ contemporaries said otherwise in Scripture matters not to skeptics.

Adding to the gospel of unbelief is the movie version of the best-selling novel, “The Da Vinci Code,” which, if it is faithful to the book, will mix a few historical facts with a great deal of fiction. The book claims Jesus married Mary Magdalene and fathered children. The film is scheduled for release next month. Like the book, the movie will have as much to do with fact as Oliver Stone’s film on the Kennedy assassination.

The Gospel of Unbelief. Jesus walking on water… sure, but it was frozen. Single… but not really. Instead he married the prostitute. Son of God… but a real sinner in the Temptation of Christ. So it goes. Double speak. Perhaps you noticed it about the illegal aliens who aren’t Americans. Oh…. sorry about that. Undocumented Americans who are the backbone of America. Sorry about the slip.

Aren’t you glad there are people so smart that they can clear these things up for us, whether it is about Jesus or the Constitution. Only in America.

I agree with Stop the ACLU.

Leave it to the ACLU to complain that upholding the first amendment actually violates it. How much more twisted can logic be and still be called logical.

Thankfully there are a few good lawyers out there who are able to defend Christian rights to freedom of expression. This is what happened.

A federal judge has ordered an upstate New York school district to return bricks inscribed with Christian messages to a high school walkway, and a pro-family civil liberties attorney is praising the outcome as a victory against viewpoint discrimination.

The dispute arose after the Mexico Academy High School class of 1999 in Mexico, New York (Oswego County), sold bricks that could be inscribed with personal messages and included in a walkway as a fundraiser. However, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) complained that certain bricks, particularly those inscribed with the messages “Jesus Saves/John 3:16″ and “Jesus Christ, the only way,” constituted public school endorsement of Christianity.

The ACLU maintained that the bricks violated the so-called “separation of church and state,” and the group’s complaints prompted school officials to remove the contested bricks in 2000. Other bricks purchased by private individuals bore messages that referred to God or to local churches but were allowed to remain in place; only the bricks mentioning Jesus were taken out of the walkway.

The ACLU’s greatest and only true weapon is a threat. The big bully on the street. If you don’t do that we will take you to court. Since its so expensive to go to court most just act like cowards and back off. But not this time. Some stood up to the bullies.

“We’ve won several of these cases in this area,” Whitehead notes. ” It’s called viewpoint discrimination. You can’t discriminate against the religious viewpoint, and the judge said that’s what happened here. It violates the First Amendment.”

The attorney asserts that officials with the high school, in initiating the walkway fundraiser, created a public forum that allowed for private speech, and apparently the bricks with the Christian messages were initially welcomed. “But when the ACLU threatened a lawsuit,” he says, “they actually removed the bricks, and the judge said that’s viewpoint discrimination. That violates the First Amendment when you have different messages on a sidewalk or in [another public] forum.”

Really want to know the agenda the ACLU has? It’s in this paragraph.

If Christians lose the right to express their viewpoint in the public schools, Whitehead warns, “all those 50-some million children there are probably going to think Christians are kooks because we’re going to get so marginalized.”

The real goal is to marginalize and silence viewpoints the ACLU feels are intolerant in the new age where ‘Tolerance’ is the biggest virtue. Sound like an oxymoron? But again I digress… you already know their logic and it doesn’t make sense. Now where is that Oxy-Moron cleaner anyway. Wonder if it would clear up their logic like oxyclean to dirt?
