After all the sex and excitement of the Revolutionary War and the writing of the Constitution, our American History textbooks for Christian schools present us with something of a challenge: there's just not all that much crazy for them to say about the following few decades of history. Sure, there's a lot of stuff that has to go on the test, but when's the last time you got wrapped up in an argument about the Monroe Doctrine or the
This is one of those points that really chaps my hide. I recently pointed out in an argument with an xtian regressive that being hacked to pieces for having a bible in your house or being shoved into a gas chamber because of your religion isn't on the same level as not being able to post the ten commandments in a government building or pray in schools. Nope, said my erudite companion: Same level, slippery slope, soon the atheists will be rounding us up to put us in FEMA camps.
If I had had my phone I would have pulled up some handy photos as visual aids, but alas, I did not have it. Even if I had, I probably would have heard "See! That's what will happen to us!" Other than white, mostly protestant xtians, I have never seen a group of people so gleeful about being a pretend "persecuted minority" while being a majority.
An argument about that point should not be necessary if conversing with an marginally intelligent, critically thinking person. Education shouldn't even need to be a factor.
The fact there is an industry surviving (well) on catering to these morons should be frightening to everyone.
Does anyone else remember a short story about an explorer captured by (I think) the Mayans, who threatens them with an eclipse, and they proceed to execute him, reciting all of the future eclipses, probably up to Dec 2012? I think it was in my falling-apart copy of 100 Science Fiction Short Short Stories, but I can't find it. Anyway, good story, very appropriate. ps We don't like William Henry Harrison in sw Ontario.
Part of me would love to hear about the post-Barton versions of these books just out of curiosity, but the rest of me thinks the curious part should STFU.
Ever notice the resemblance between Jesus&#039; birth and Hercules? I&#039;m pretty sure in the marketplace of ideas, the early Christians felt compelled to say &quot;half-man/half-god? yeah, we&#039;ve got that too&quot;. Like how <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Piranhaconda" target="_blank">Piranaconda</a> is a knockoff of <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sharktopus" target="_blank">Sharktopus</a>.
The &quot;Indians&#039;&quot; problem was that they&#039;re really two of the Lost Tribes of Israel (as any Jehovah&#039;s Witness can tell you) and therefore naturally resistant to the Nazarene heresy.
It&#039;s been too long. Thank you.
Merde, I suspect.

Well, hey, it&#039;s a rich tradition: in 1972, two Mormon missionaries in Thailand got six months in jail for climbing on a statue of the Buddha. <a href="http://www.truthandgrace.co..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.truthandgrace.com/mormonmissionary.htm">http://www.truthandgrace.co...

Hinn doesn&#039;t care how many people follow him, as long as they send money.

And another non-Christian is alleged to be behind the plans for seizure.
&#039;Jefferson was no orthodox Christian&#039;. Quite right, none of the Founding Fathers would follow that Slavic heresy.

Explains why it flopped in the theaters. The masses want them loaves&#039;n&#039;fishes, man!
Right up until they put &quot;In Yah-Weh We Trust&quot; on the currency, henghngh?
