W N D Hate-mongers

Sometimes I have been known to get a little bit combattive in arguing my beliefs. The thing with arguing "for" the left or the right wing specifically is that you end up going "Nya - nya" at the other side. As a debater you may decude that you are 60% right and your opponet is 40% right, but you can never let him know that in the debate. You have to argue as though your beliefs were flawless and the other guy is a blithering idiot. However- - it's easier to argue that the other side are blithering idiots when they actually act like jackasses. This is the case with a number of World Net Daily articles lately, or as I'd like to say, World "Nut" Daily. Here are a few examples of what I'm referring to. I dialed up World “Nut” Daily last night. Ted Haggard and the guy who wrote the purpose driven life were being attacked by a “Net” or “Nut” person who accused the author of being soft on Syria. Many have suggested Syria might be a good nation to approach to make peace in the mideast. Syria is neither Shiite nor Suni, which makes them a good "neutral" candidate. They are in a position to help us with both Iraq and the Palistinian problem, if we will just be civil tword them. Instead pastors like Ted Haggard and that other guy who wrote "The purpose driven life" were labeled as not "true blue" enough, in an era where "blue" meant Conservative. What we learn here is that the conservatives are against peace. Just this morning I heard on the news that Iran helped us drive the Talliban out of Afghanistan in 2001. I didn't know that. So how did we reward them? Bush labeled them as part of the "Axis of Evil". This is bad diplomicy.

In another article it was suggested that unleashing massive sulphur dioxide pollution might be the key to global warming and it was suggested one time when a volcano erupted the global mean temperature was lowered a half of a degree. WND and Rush love stories like this. Rush is constantly doing these animal species preservation stories where seemingly one species is pitted against another as a sacrifice to the cause. Rush would like nothing better than for a green flag to be given to every palluter in the planet spiewing all matter of Sulpher dioxide and Sulfuric Acid into the air. Obviously this method of "solving" global warming is madness. WND, I suspect is not really seriously suggesting anyone try sulphur pollution as an answer, they're just trying to tick off the liberals because they don't believe global warming actually exists.

World Net daily is disappointed that Murtha wasn’t elected majority leader. Then they could talk about the Abscan controversy for the next two years. John Murtha was an "unindicted co conspiritor" in the Abscam Scandal back in the 'eighties. It's something most people have forgotten about by now. The democrats in voting down Murtha have reaffirmed their resolution to have a squeaky clean congress, and boy that sure ticks off World Net Daily. Perhaps W N D should talk about the republicans and their many, many scandals more often before nipping at the democrats. What scares W N D to death is some sort of a purist reform spirited liberals revival that would sweep the nation. Well watch it, W N D. Getting control of congress is just the start. Your worse nightmares may come true when congress passes badly needed legeslation on a host of urgent matters.

It was the next night, which I guess is Friday, that I saw a couple more articles of intrest. They have been running these book ads in World Net Daily on "The Real Mohamed" saying that Mohamed was a war monger and violent and that one of his wives was a nine year old girl. I downloaded the articcle. But the magazine went on to attack President Bush for- get this - Giving Moslem terrorists aid and confort! How did Bush do this, you ask? Simple. He tried to be civil to clerics of Islan. He called Islam a religion of peace that had been recently hijacked by a few extremists. (Much as Christianity has) The President dropped the word "Crusade" in his anti Arab campaign because of its midevil conotations. World Net Daily sees Islam as the great Satan. There are Christians, and I know them, who can't stand the fact that Arabs are moving in right here in Orange County. Right here in River City! Everything about Arab culture and Islamic culture is seen as evil and Satanic. You could argue that communists aren't around any more but now society has a new whipping boy. Of course to add fuel to the fire there is that U C L A library story where a guy didn't have identification to be in the library. I've been in libraries, and campus libraries without identification. It was only later I found out the guy was Iranian. He refused to leave the building and so Campus police tazed him. Now he's appealing to the federal government and filing civil rights violation charges. The danger in "racial profiling" is that it can all too easily evolve from being a pramatic law enfourcement procedure and degenerate into a vehical for hate and bigotry.

Some may say to me, "If we were all just Christians we could all live in love and peace". I'd like that. But you know who wouldn't like it? Jesus Christ - - of K F I radio, of course. If there wern't hate and evil in the world and all matter of catastrophies man made and otherwise occuring, where would we get our Heroes from? You see Jesus believes God is so stupid he doesn't know human character without plunging the earth into hell and then find out who rises to the occasion as a hero. I wonder if the earth were plunged into such mass starvation that people resorted to canabalisum, whether people who didn't sink that low would get gold stars? Some people still believe people have to be "tested" to find out "who the real sinners are". In our last posting we talked about this notion that God doesn't even Care who the "real sinners" are. Here is a case in point. This morning Jesus was talking about the notion that there are no gradations of sin. Jesus said the reward system in heaven doesn't consist of who is the least of the sinners. He then said that Adolph Hitler has just as good of chance at getting a good seat in heaven as anybody else. The Catholics say that when you repent of sin you have to do pennance and also "make right" all of the evil you have done and the people you hurt. How long do you suppose it would take Hitler or Eichman to do this? What if Billy Grahm appeared to Jesus in a glowing vision and Billy told Jesus to preach the gospell to Adolph Hitler. Let's say the date was October 1938. But the months passed and the years passed and Jesus didn't feel it was the "right time" to preach the Gospell to Hitler. It would be too "upsetting" to him. Altogether too "inconvienient". So of course Hitler ended up killing all of the Jews as well as the Allied Forces in the War. You may say "that's an extreme example". But Jesus Christ on KFI told a boyfriend of a girl who was about to have an abortion not to make a real issue of it if it was too "upsetting" of an issue for her. I guess they say one life is a tradgity and six million is a statistic. If that it? Of course none of the Jews probably had a chance to hear the gospell but if they ever had in their entire life, no matter how flawed the vessel they heard it from, they are "responsible" for hearing the gospell. Dying in a poison shower isn't bad enough for these Jews. After they die some Christians want to send them to hell. Some may say that the thing that signifies Christians is their willingness to die for their cause. Yet "sincerety" even unto the point of Death isn't how you "get into heaven". No. You "get into heaven" by "Dialing the right phone number". If doesn't even matter if someone gives you a wrong number- - you go to hell unless you dial the right one. So Jesus once said of alchoholics that "I wouldn't trust an alcoholic to know who the real GOD is. I don't like the words "God as we (alcaholics) understand him to be". Jesus has his likes and dislikes. He hates alchoholics. Remember that time I told you about the alcoholic brother in jail and Jesus said, "Don't try and visit him. He'll only try to manipulate you". Of course mental illness is another of those "Too bad" ailments. If you have an emotional problem, you have to get rid of that before you can come to God. That's something else Jesus of KFI teaches. Hatred is less rage or uncontroled anger than it is the complete vaccuous absence of Love. (Selah)
