The US is a deeply eremite country. For roughly 3 decades, a Christian right in a US has wielded substantial energy in a domestic arena. Inside USA asks if Republican claimant John McCain will be means to strap which choosing by casting votes retard in a same approach George Bush did.

What the fuck? What evidence at all besides that bible you have under your arm do you have for this giant May 21, 2011 earthquake?
Do you even have a basic understanding of plate tectonics?
If all evangelical people were like this man, I would have a lot less beef with them.
daym shame !!! he claims to b a chrstian yet he supports abortion!
God doesn’t need mankind to end the world. From all the evidence in the Bible it appears that there will be a world wide earthquake on May 21, 2011.
Take the flood for example, God did not use nor did he need man to end all life. Likewise, in our time God doesn’t need us to do that. It is likely that there will be nuclear accidents in the earthquake tho, I would count on that.
Look forward to the rapture? Of coarse I do, I wont be here for the 5 months of Hell on Earth tho, thank God.
the end time could only occur through asteroid collision, or a self-fullfilled prophecy by chrisitans and muslims. Why did the jews return to Jerusalim, because they wanted to fullfill the bilibcal prophecy. So the scary thing, is that both the christian and muslim religions are hoping for the end of days, and they might want to bring it about through nuclear holocaust. Religious sadists want the world to end, they want to destroy life.
If Jesus did come back, American Evangelicals would have him nailed up again within three months.
The Bible does say that your correct, however, it is speaking of those who are not God’s elect. For them, God will indeed come as a thief in the night.
Also, do remember that Noah was given an exact day when the ark door would shut and Niniveh was given 40 days.
God calls us to be watchers and speaks to us thru His word. Please read, “We are almost there” from familyradio online. Some really great insights into what God is revealing to us thru His word in these end times.
uaz31,
but does not the bible, even the KJV, say that no one knows the time or day that he will return??? why then would some one with very conservitve christian feelings fall into a lie like that? i am actually ashamed that family radio would have something like that in their web site, they should know better.
Aw yeah. Can you feel it? Can you feel the tide of awareness,and information pushing that mindless ideology known as christianity out to sea? Dispelling medieval superstition with pure fact! Do you see how the unchanged christian discourse becomes more tyrannical, hypocritical and tired every day?! It’s happening, my brothers and sisters, but my question is: when do we just get to kill them? They won’t stop poisoning the minds of children, so WE need to stop them. NO RIGHTS FOR CHRISTIANS! KILL!
Thats a laugh, Hillary supports gay marriage, so its double standards for that evangelical leader. Though that isn’t exactly true. Many christians I know approve of gay marriage, for financial and social, and not religious reasons. They believe that religion has no place in their. Least they still have their heads on straight.
I was pretty offended as an atheist when the pastor said and EVEN my atheist friends say helping the poor is essential, as if it is so SHOCKING and SUPRISING that atheists want to help the poor. Still, at least he included us.
Religion must end in all forms accept Morality. Morality has nothing to do with religion and can be separated.Keep these delusional people out of office before we start W.W.3. Opps! It already started.
Q I enjoy this video =) it makes me really horny!! I
Right On the money Video!
Sorry, but the first paragraph is not true. Yes, some postings are dangerous, others are not. It depends how committed you are to advancing freedom
As for the 2nd paragraph which terrorists are you referring to? Hamas? Hezbollah? Al-Qaeda (which faction)? Taleban? Waziri Tribesmen? ETIM? etc (pls look them up before replying) Some yes, others no, others perhaps, its not that simple
As for the 3rd paragraph, I challenge you to prove the need for military intervention without emotive reasoning
Ya well any volunteering in the middle east through peaceful non violence will still get you killed.
They (terrorists) are not making any distinction between aid organizations and militarty organizations. Its just death to westerners and all those that support them.
If you don’t see the need for military intervention then you are very much blind.
You must have never picked up a history book, if your unwilling to do so then perhaps, instead of launching barbs at me, you could travel to countries that the US has left in ruins & volunteer in reconstruction & implementing democracy through peaceful means. Perhaps there you will learn there is a world beyond yourself
Finally, I would thank you for not lecturing me on the virtues of democracy, where I’m from we risk more for ACTUAL democracy than most plump, laz-e-boy bound Americans ever do
I find your reply to be both rude and arrogant.
It is a shame, I was hoping to understand the American religious right, instead I am subjected to shrill the arrogance of someone who DOES NOT CAREFULLY READ what I had take the time to write and who lives in a painfully simplistic world where that the US can do no wrong.
I think I will end this as I have my answer regarding the American religious right. A group so arrogant & unwilling to listen they have turned their backs on Christian teachings
The King James Bible is the best translation from the original Greek and Hebrew I suggest you read that one.
The other translations were either translated from the Latin which was translated from the Greek and Hebrew or you have the new easier to read Bibles like the NIV which is a complete misinterpretation of the words, editing what they felt it should say instead of what it does say.
I condemn acusations such as your comments, you sound like the terrorist not the peace keeper.
What threat?! Have you been living in a cave or something? Talk about ignorant…
“their cause” You seem to want to steriotype all Arabians to have the same ideology. Its only the terrorists that want us out of there.
The majority of the people are benefiting from our occupation not hurting. We’re there to topple the evil regimes not murder innocent people.
You forget were not over there to murder anyone, we are there to bring stability.
Saddam murdered alot of people as u stated and I’m sure he influenced even more deaths as a result of his regime. The only slaughter that is being done is by the terrorists.
You seem to have a vague understanding of the war on terror or even what a democracy is. Did you not know the USA is a peace keeping nation? That we allow freedoms that other nations only dream about.
The war’s design was and is to contain the threat to the USA and our allies.
What leads to democracy is the need for democracy. When people stand up for what they believe in despite heavy persecution including death.
Finally; what threat? The followers of Sayid Qutb are few & few between. Arab leaders Nasser, Mossadeq even Saddam were far removed from Jihadist teachings.
Osama’s own ideology in tatters, rejected by the Arab mainstream, they turned on the US out of desperation & outrage, to galvanise the Arab world to their cause
Sadly the US, led by the neo-cons, have generated more hostility amongst ordinary people than Osama could dream of. I Recommend “The Power of Nightmares” available on youtube
Regarding the body count; according to the Strassler family Center for Holocaust & Genocide Studies at Clark University Saddam killed approximately 200,000
In June 06 the Iraqi Health Ministry survey found the war & occupation was responsible for in excess of 400,000 deaths. This is the most conservative view, with the Opinion Research Business survey claiming over 1m deaths
The wickedness of this is staggering, I imagine a Christian would be compelled to condemn this slaughter unreservedly
Regardless of which edition of the Bible you keep, the spreading of death is despicable & the justification for such violence (WMDs) proved false.
The war’s design was to cut a swath through the Mid East from Kuwait to Turkey, projecting US power over the Arab states & to contain Iran. Democracy an afterthought at best
Self-determination, example & education is what leads to democracy. Imposition & death leads to resentment & a rejection of the ideal, & reform must once again start from zero
