The walk of a Christian will determine their reward in heaven, but the vote of a Christian may determine if their children will ever get to heaven.
Atheism has a great influence in America today and how a Christian votes will determine if Atheism has greater or lesser control. If Atheism has greater control there will be more perversion presented in movies and television by the Atheistic Liberal News and Entertainment Industry. That perversion is intended to influence your children that the Atheistic Lifestyle is pure fun with no consequences. Why accept the restrictive lifestyle of the Christian when you can have the fun lifestyle of the Atheist?

Well feminism has worked in a lot of areas, girls and women can attend college, pursue their own goals, vote, make decisions about what kind of relationships we want, decide when we want to have children, decide if we want to be married or not, etc. It seems you don't like that. So you don't like the fact that women don't have to rely on men for support. Well women shouldn't have to rely on a man for sole support. And because there are people who still hold your view about gender roles only goes to show that feminism is having influence.

Most discussions of religion are going to boil down to two questions.
1) Does God have a plan for all humans (men, women and children)?
2) Can humans come up with a better plan than God's plan?
I believe God's plan for women is that they rule the world by raising the children that will rule the world. If the women raise the children in accordance with God/Bible, life in the world will be good.
I believe God's plan for men is to rule the world as God and the Bible directs them and as their mothers taught them.
If attending college makes a woman better able to raise children, then going to college is good.
My observations are that women who attend college are in for a rough time. They are away from the protection of their parents and are easy pry to the men that would abuse them. The thing I do not understand is that I believe most mothers know what is going to happen. I have never understood women who want a fling with the "bad boy". Women have sex with men they would never even consider for marriage. I worry that women are worse off when they leave college than when they start. They can get a job and earn more money than men, but socially they are damaged.
I believe the Christian Family concept of a man, a woman and the children is the best possible situation for the man, the woman and the children. The man gets his sexual needs satisfies, the woman is take care of and can raise the children. Use to be an old saying, men trade love for sex and women trade sex for love. I believe God has the best plan.
When God separated woman from man, He made woman, love and man, righteousness. Neither in itself is perfect, but the joining of the two back together is close to perfection.
The fatal flaw of the feminist concept is that the children suffer. I don't think the women are satisfied in the feminist concept, but I am sure the children suffer and ultimately the nation will suffer.
If you read this to imply that the man is in control, that is not correct. The Bible says the man is to be led by Jesus as the woman is to be led by the man. A real man has to work hard to provide for his own.
I Corinthians 11:3 states, "But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God."
I Thimothy 5:8 states, "But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel."
Exodus 20:12 states, " Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee."
Women can hold jobs, or they can be in schools making sure their children are the best education, or they can protest the pornography distribution of the local television station that destroys their children.
Women can do anything they want, but I believe it would be best for women to choose to follow the God's Christian Family concept as described in the Bible.
People can now see how many moderate/liberal muslims feel about their extremists.Already added Clirus to my list titeled "People who dont get to complain about Radical Islams view on women". For reasons which are all to obvious.

I believe the power of influence is very great. I believe Atheists understand that a lot better than Christians. Atheists know how to sell things by appealing to the base nature of humans.
Not to step into anything, but this is why I always say "Liberals are open-minded about everything in the world --so long as they agree with it". If all these holy rollers who claim to be so enlightened and tolerant of things they vehemently disagree with then they would not be capable of condemning someone even if he has sunk to the very depths of cretiny (yes, I made that word up).
But, they are capable, proving that all the open-mindedness they preach is just pontificating and double-talk.
No, I will not point fingers at any specific person, except to say they do not think I am talking about them.
Au revoir.
Liberals are open-minded about everything in the world --so long as they agree with it
Or it could be like saying, "I do not preach hate towards a minority, but I support your right to do so." This would demonstrate an enlightened approach and uphold one of the founding principles of our country. Anything less and you start to have a fascist state. And while I realize that the fascist state is your ultimate goal, this perversion of our country's identity needs to be addressed whenever it arises.Professing to being Christian and being a Christian by following God's commandments is two very separate issues. There have already been a lot of democrats that profess to be Christians, but the democratic party supports the Atheistic Lifestyle. One of the most hypocritical statement by a democrat is: I would not do that, but I would not object to others doing it. That is like saying: I would not pervert your children, but I would not mind someone else perverting your children. If it is wrong, it is wrong for all people.
So this would then make a Hindu an atheist. And a Jew. I would recommend a quick perusal of a dictionary so that you can learn what some of the words you use actually mean.I believe you greatly underestimate the number of people that are Atheists. Not many people openly call themselves Atheists, but there are a lot of people who are Atheists because the have not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and who do advocate the Atheistic Lifestyle.
Does the Atheistic News and Entertainment Industry own the black helicopters? I know, they were the gunmen on the grassy knoll, right? You give the media too much credit.I believe the News and Entertainment Industry is controlled by Atheists that support the democratic party. The only thing that Fox does that supports Republicans is to make a comparison on issues instead of an open hate for President Bush that the other news sources represent.
Specific examples to illustrate what you are talking about, please?The Atheistic News and Entertainment Industry uses the concept of building yourself up by tearing others down as stated in my Cultural War statement.
And as a small government Libertarian, I'd rather have the Dems in power as opposed to someone who believes in even half of this tripe. You had 6 years of Republicans in control. What did they do to promote your agenda? When did they have the time between all the lies, bribes, and corruption? Or is fleecing your constituents a Christian virtue?http://narj-clirus.blogspot.com/There is a cultural war in America between Christians and Atheists. This war is being fought on the battlefield of politics. The battles are in the voting booth. The prize in the cultural war is the hearts, minds and souls of the children. The Atheistic liberal news media greatly influences both domestic and foreign policy by constantly reporting only bad news about Christians, conservatives and Republicans and only good news about atheists, liberals and democrats. The agenda of the Atheistic liberal news media is to promote extreme environmentalism, socialism, feminism, pornography, abortion, homosexuality and the Atheistic Lifestyle by having democrats in control of government.
Or that few people want to hear about 'God's punishment afflicting teh gays' because is makes reasonable, rational people sick to their stomachs? Because stating that in a public arena is one small step from putting a white sheet on and burning a cross in someone's lawn?snip
Have you noticed there has not been a discussion of AIDS recently. The ALNM will not carry AIDS stories because that could hurt democrats that support homosexuality.
False dichotomy. Everything cannot be divided into atheist or christian. Nor should it. But you advocate your visions being forced upon all of us. That is the antithesis of a Democracy and much more in line with Fascism.You are right that it is up to Christians to discern what is right and wrong, not a government, nor a government-sponsored religion, however a government can make laws and fund organizations that either advocate Christianity or advocate Atheism. The people that Christians elect will either favor Christianity or Atheism.
And people that 'accept' JC in a different manner than you are Atheist as well? Or only after a group that you support gains power and puts all the real atheists into re-education camps. Then you can start to winnow out the 'false believers' in a purge. Read up on Soviet history for pointers. Take a long look at the chapters that involve Stalin...Some say they can be impartial, but I believe people either accept Jesus Christ or reject Jesus Christ. The middle ground belongs to the Atheists.

Advertising is used to influence people to buy something they do not need nor will do all that it implies it will do. Television creates false images of what is good and what is evil. Children are especially prone to explore or follow these influences.
I never want to see anyone forced to make a decision, but right now I see a lot of propaganda for the Atheistic Lifestyle and not much said for the Christian Lifestyle.
I believe that if people are presented an honest unbiased presentation of the Atheistic Lifestyle and the Christian Lifestyle, they would choose the Christian Lifestyle and the Atheistic Lifestyle would fade back into the closet.
I believe Christians need to expose the disease, death and destruction of the Atheistic Lifestyle and the blessings of the Christian Lifestyle. That would be nothing less than telling the truth, and could lead someone to follow the Christian Lifestyle by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
Professing to being Christian and being a Christian by following God's commandments is two very separate issues. There have already been a lot of democrats that profess to be Christians, but the democratic party supports the Atheistic Lifestyle.

Two other stories that the ALNM would not discuss were Bill Clinton/ Monica Lewneski and Dan Rather. These stories where not made public by the ALNM, but rather by people on the web. After the story was started, the ALNM had to respond, but they would have left the issue hidden except for web people.
You are right that it is up to Christians to discern what is right and wrong, not a government, nor a government-sponsored religion, however a government can make laws and fund organizations that either advocate Christianity or advocate Atheism.

Ben Franklin said:When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not care to support it, so that its professors are obliged to call for the help of the civil power, 'tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.
