Time to Legalize Counterfeiting

Rush read this on his program the other day and I find it hilARious. Seems like a good idea to me! Would anyone donate to my campaign if I ran with this as my main platform??

Coming to a County Near You?

Well guys, it was fun while it lasted. Check out this article about a San Diego Bible study.

I really wish there were more details to this story. Was it an old law on the books relating to another situation? Is this just disgruntled neighbors running amuck? Is it an attack by anti-religious groups? Has anyone ever heard of the Constitution, specifically the Bill of Rights and the right to assembly?

Discuss.

Luke 21:1-4

I think this should give us all something to think about. I know that sometimes when it comes to giving at church, I can balk because I feel I can't afford to give the money. But why is it that we try and keep things that are not ours? God is the one who gives us both our paychecks and the ability to earn a paycheck. When we give back to the Lord that which is His, He can bless others through our charity and very possibly find other ways to bless us with financial gain again. Remember the talents!

Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech!

Whoa, whoa! Hold your horses. This just in.

For those not interested in digging through the entire article, here's the important bit:

" 'This fossil has been hailed as the eighth wonder of the world. Frankly, I've got 10 more in my basement,' said Chris Beard, a curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh.

Though the fossil is a beautiful specimen, it is not dissimilar to many slightly less well-preserved primate fossils from around the same period.

'In some ways the most amazing and startling result of all of this is that we've now set a new standard in how to promote a new fossil,' Beard told LiveScience. 'And I have mixed feelings about that.'

Beard said he applauded the push to get the public excited about science. But he disagreed with some of the outlandish claims researchers made during the press conference, such as the suggestion that Ida represents a "missing link" between early primates and humans.

'It's not a missing link, it's not even a terribly close relative to monkeys, apes and humans, which is the point they're trying to make,' Beard said."

Time For Creationists to Thrown in the Towel

The proof is all right here.

After all, it looks exactly like a mix between a monkey and a person, doesn't it?


Check out this section. Now look at your neighbor. Now look here again. Now at your neighbor. Here. Neighbor.

Isn't it amazing? It's like there's a mirror on your computer screen!

There is no other possible explanation for this body part. Only monkeys have tails, and we came from monkeys. So think about it.


It has arms, we have arms. It has a head, we have a head. It has fingernails, we have fingernails!

I mean, it would be silly to assume that certain structures work really well and were designed to work that way and that is why we see them repeated throughout the animal kingdom, right? We share 96% of our DNA with a chimpanzee and 40% of our DNA with bananas. Think about it. We should be freeing our brothers from the captivity of grocery store shelves across the world! How I have often gazed into the peel of a beautiful banana and felt the chill of common ancestry shiver down my spine, and longed to liberate them from Wegmans as brothers!

I have a feeling this discovery is being made into a big deal because Intelligent Design is making some headway in public opinion. "Hey everyone, look over here! Darwin was right! Who needs God? Pass the abortion and euthanasia, please!"

Winds of Change

Check out this link to a 2009 Gallup Poll.

Pro-Life versus Pro-Choice

I think this is an amazing switch, and I believe it is an excellent sign for the future generations. The fact that most of the people who take part in these polls are usually Left-leaning, and it's amazing to me that with the liberalization of our country the next generation is swinging back towards the right. It's very encouraging, and leads me to think that God isn't quite done with the United States yet.
