The "I'm a Christian. Check Out My Cross, Homie." Game

2007-11-13T20:31:00.001-08:00

Many famous people wear the cross around their necks or tattoo it somewhere on their body but do not glorify God in their body. Let's not do the same.

What does the Cross mean exactly?

"...without the shedding of blood, there is no remission (forgiveness) of sins."

(Hebrews 9:22)

Only by the shed blood of Jesus Christ does ANYONE have remission for their sins. There's no other way to the Father but by Him. EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES in Him shall never perish but have eternal life. (Note that it doesn't say EVERYONE in general, but EVERYONE WHO BELIVES and repents.

In this clip from Hell's Bells 2 by Eric Holmberg and The Apologetics Group, the issue of how the Cross is portrayed in modern society versus what it truly means is exposited. You can get the full DVD at the Apologetics Group's Official Website http://www.theapologeticsgroup.com .

9/11 -- Evidence of Controlled Demolition

2007-05-25T08:40:00.000-07:00

"Electron microscope analysis of steel spheres from WTC site proves thermate, proves collapse of twin towers was an act of deliberate arson...."

"It has now been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the collapse of the twin towers and WTC 7 was an act of deliberate arson and not as a result of fires from crashing planes.

"Jones' evidence offers no other conclusion that insiders planted thermite devices within the buildings to literally pulverize the supporting columns and cause the collapse of the towers and also WTC 7. Debunkers have uniformly failed to address the existence of thermite and also molten metal at the ground zero site because they cannot dismiss the scientific proof, and are forced to resort to ad hominem insults and smears.

"We are issuing a challenge to Popular Mechanics to rebut Professor Jones' analysis of the sphere samples and the clear evidence of thermate at the World Trade Center. Address the focused scientific proof without resorting to ad hominem attacks or straying off topic."

Wilson's death leaves casting gap

2007-05-23T08:46:00.000-07:00

"August Wilson's death in late 2005 was a major blow to American theater. It was also a sucker punch to black actors on Broadway. For almost a quarter century, beginning with "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" in 1984, Wilson could be counted on to produce plays that centered on the African-American experience, and thus employed either exclusively or primarily black casts."

Opinion: How Falwell resembled Farrakhan

2007-05-23T08:33:00.000-07:00

"In that sense his rise is instructive for students of politics, social movements and show business. He always had two Jerry Falwells to offer to the public. There were really two Jerry Falwells -- one angelic, the other pugnacious. The face he presented to the public was whichever would do him the most good.

"In that sense, I am stricken by his similarities to another conservative religious extremist I have known for more than two decades: Minister Louis Farrakhan."

The N-word syndrome… 400 years of machiavellianism

2007-05-23T08:27:00.000-07:00

"The n-word holds all of America hostage. Contemporary black and white America alike, are victims of a deep dark, sordid, and immoral past. There is more than just a disparaging meaning to this word. Derogatory terms such as wetbacks, kike, hymie, dago, faggots, etc. are just that—derogatory. Though there are those who try to reduce the full impact and purpose of the n-word as merely being nothing more than a derogatory slur, this can't be allowed to happen. A gross miscarriage of justice was committed for more than a span of three centuries all in the name of the n-word. There were vicious, terrible and horrible misdeeds inflicted upon the ascendants of African Americans that many people today would like to have swept underneath a rug and forgotten about. And to a degree have been very successful in doing just that."

Official Identity Theft

2007-05-23T08:20:00.000-07:00

"Though the toothpaste is out of the tube, I wonder if people generally grasp the enormity of the damage done. There is in existence an electronic database with over a half-billion records, containing information collected via extrajudicial requests made in National Security Letters, the majority of which pertain to U.S. citizens. Your banking and credit activities, telephone and internet usage records, insurance policies, post office box rental, car, boat and home ownership records could already be in the FBI’s Investigative Data Warehouse. If so, no one need inform you. If the information is incorrect, there’s no way to fix it. It is shared among 10,000 government employees at multiple agencies, and is stored for 20 years even if you have no connection whatsoever to a crime. In fact, only 65 convictions correlated to information obtained by the FBI from over 143,000 NSL demands made during 2003-2005."

State Report: African-Americans Lose Faith in Public Education

2007-05-10T15:11:00.000-07:00

"Velma Sykes worked hard to ensure that her children received a quality education at their public high schools in Sacramento.

“'I was very involved, and I’m not talking about just helping with homework or weekly meetings with their teachers. I mean sending emails to their teachers every single day,' she says. Sykes saw firsthand what happened to the African-American children in her school district who didn’t have this kind of parental involvement. 'They were ignored.' Sykes says that she has completely lost faith in the public school system’s ability to serve African-American children like her own."

Link between race, hazardous-waste sites still strong

2007-05-10T15:06:00.000-07:00

"Twenty years after a landmark study showed that people of color were more likely to live near hazardous-waste sites than any other demographic, a follow-up report has found that the disparity is even greater across the U.S. today.

"The problem is more entrenched in metropolitan Phoenix, where 63.7 percent of the residents living in neighborhoods adjacent to hazardous-waste facilities are of color, according to the new report commissioned by the United Church of Christ. Nationally, the figure is 56 percent.

"Black and Latino residents are more likely than Anglos to live next to facilities storing the most dangerous types of wastes. They are exposed in disproportionate numbers to the potential health and safety risks of living next to volatile chemicals."

'I propose a North American Community'

2007-05-09T13:25:00.000-07:00

"... I do not propose a North American Union; I propose a North American Community. They are very different. A Union – like the United States – is a merger of states into a unified central government. A Community is composed of three sovereign governments that seek to strengthen bonds of cooperation. Each government – according to its constitutional procedures – retains the power to decide whether and how to cooperate. A 'North American Union' could not be created by 'stealth,' as some fear. Indeed, any significant initiative to strengthen cooperation would require a wide-ranging and public debate and approval by Congress of all three countries."

Goodbye U.S. dollar, hello global currency

"Benn Steil, writing in the current issue of CFR's influential Foreign Affairs magazine, says 'the world needs to abandon unwanted currencies, replacing them with dollars, euros, and multinational currencies as yet unborn.'

In the article, 'The End of National Currency,' Steil clearly asserts the dollar and the euro are temporary currencies, perhaps necessary today. He argues 'economic development outside the process of globalization is no longer possible.'

"His inevitable conclusion is 'countries should abandon monetary nationalism.'"

"President Bush signed an agreement creating a 'permanent body' that commits the U.S. to 'deeper transatlantic economic integration,' without ratification by the Senate as a treaty or passage by Congress as a law.

The 'Transatlantic Economic Integration' between the U.S. and the European Union was signed April 30 at the White House by Bush, German Chancellor Angela Merkel – the current president of the European Council – and European Commission President José Manuel Barroso.

The document acknowledges 'the transatlantic economy remains at the forefront of globalization' arguing that the U.S. and the European Union 'seek to strengthen transatlantic economic integration.'

Critics blame Recording Industry for degradation of black women

2007-05-07T15:52:00.000-07:00

"The Hip Hop Summit Action Network, while discouraging radio stations and other media from the airing of racist and misogynistic lyrics that particularly degrade Black women, has a board that is top heavy with chief executives that financially benefit from the record industry.

"'They are funded by the record companies,' says activist Al Sharpton, who vowed to hold record companies accountable for degrading lyrics after he led protests that got talk show host Don Imus fired. 'There are many people on the board who are in the record companies who could make the decision to stop using the words rather than pressuring people not to play the words that they're using and manufacturing.'"

R-Rated Movies Dominate Production but Continue Losing Market Share

2007-05-07T15:26:00.000-07:00

Since 1988, R-rated movies have lost more market share than the Ford motor company, a decrease in market share of 60%. While Ford is closing plants and laying off workers, the movie industry is still keeping the number of R-rated movies the same, despite this loss in market share. Motion picture companies do not work on the same principles as automobile companies. If sales of light trucks slow down, production of light trucks slows down as well. If production didn’t slow down, there would be massive unsold inventory. The movie business does not have inventory in the same sense as the auto industry. In the movie business, you compare the cost of production to the box office returns.

"Highly offensive R-rated films like BORAT and JACKASS: NUMBER 2 had low budgets and large returns this year, but they are exceptions. The big story on R-rated movies is that while production remains nearly the same, market share continues to drop. The more good quality G, PG and PG-13 product being offered, the more the R-rated market suffers. Foreign car makers gained American market share because their cars were seen as better quality. The key to achieving high market share in the motion picture industry is to make quality entertainment that appeals to a broad audience. The real magic happens when people are entertained enough to pay more than once to see the same movie.

"R ratings cut the broadness of the audience even if the quality of the movie is excellent. Many appeal only to small audience segments. This is particularly true of independent art house movies aimed at homosexuals, extreme liberals and other small groups. Many of these movies are made by activists for activists with little regard for profit."
