I’m the highly suggestible type, so I’m adding a link to Total Transformation’s piece on the Death of Decency - a recap of some of the loving and tolerant comments left at Daily Kos upon the passing of Tony Snow.
P.S. Here’s a great quote from Tony:
God bids us to choose. Can we surrender our concern in things that don’t matter so that we might devote our remaining days to things that do?

Feminists truly hate women – the title was a bit of hyperbole, but the post was a terrific piece contrasting feminists’ silence on the horrors of Islam (”honor” killings, forced marriage, etc.) with their volume on such crucial issues as “men at work” signs.
I would add that the feminist pro-legalized abortion movement doesn’t speak out against gender selection abortions, 95%+ of which are done to destroy females. It is the ultimate misogyny.
When debating pro-life issues the pro-aborts often get around to saying how I must be anti-women. I must admit that I enjoy bringing up gender selection abortions and watching them squirm and then go ballistic. I also like to point out how single young men have the highest % of pro-abortion views (because they are such feminists at heart, right?) and how 90%+ of the employees and volunteers at CareNet Pregnancy Center (where I volunteer at and am on the board) are female.
The author also made a good point about how the postmoderns can’t even get multiculturalism right. If all cultures are equally good, how can they criticize ours?

Kudos to Care Net pregnancy centers for being one of the 30 of the Brightest Shining Light ministries with respect to financial integrity. Care Net: Savings lives now and for eternity.

Creflo Dollar = Blatant false teacher - even the lady from CNN knows more than that “pastor!” Why would anyone follow this guy? He can’t get the simplest story right.

McDonald’s = pro-gay all the way

Ancient tablet shakes Christianity? – Uh, not really, unless you subscribe to the “heads we win, tails you lose” skepticism where the resurrection is assumed to be false regardless of which direction the facts are pointing.
So if there was no idea of a suffering messiah present in Jesus’ day, then Jesus didn’t die and rise from the dead–his followers must have made it up later. If there was an idea of a suffering messiah (see the first quote), then Jesus didn’t die and rise from the dead–his followers copied earlier stories.

Great quote on forgiveness by John MacArthur:
Forgiveness is the most God-like act a person can do. No act is more like God than forgiveness. Never are you more like him than when you forgive someone who has offended you.

Excellent round-up.
The best explanation I have for the “feminist” (sorry, refuse to apply that label to people who don’t care when women are maimed) double-standard is that they don’t think that “Men at Work” signs are a part of our culture (and are therefore not worthy of respect), but think that honour killings are a part of the Muslim culture, and therefore, any attempt to eliminate it is an imposition of morals.
Ridiculous, of course, but, in the liberal hierarchy, multiculturalism trumps feminism.
Ever since Bill Clinton groped and sexually assaulted every woman in sight and the liberals still swooned, I’ve been unable to apply the term “feminist” to those who do not think that safety and equality are too fundamental to be trumped by other values.
Regarding the piece on feminists “hating” women…
I visit a couple of female apostate bloggers (from Islam) and the consensus is the same as my own. Many within the political left, including feminists, are so enamored with political correctness that they are afraid to call “third world” oppression what it is…oppression. Victimhood status is often forced upon and sometimes retained by people of color. To identify those among us who are just as brutal as “white western imperialists” would nearly destroy their cause. In other words, for left leaning feminist to admit this may mean that they’d have to admit their own faults. I’m sure there are plenty of feminist who don’t fit this mold, but we don’t generally hear from them.
I don’t mean to open up a Pandora’s box on your blog. Just had to offer my view on the subject as I’ve taken to writing about it myself.
Bridget & LorMarie – great comments – preach on!
I tend to look like a feminist (education, experience, self reliance, career choices) but I have never considered myself one. I hate the term and I am angry that it has been thrown in the face of women that we should be ‘thankful’ for the term and what it means. It started out for good and but it has been taken to a radical extreme (wanting no gender differences at all, PROMOTION of abortion, etc.).
This is also a race question Neil. What is the percentage of minority abortions compared to non- minority? The minority leadership should be up in arms about the promotion of abortions in their communities.
great post.

Just one more reason to ignore the Golden Arches.
I have been wondering why somebody didn’t boycott McDonald’s for some time.
On the ancient tablet, maybe Jesus and the Apostles just followed the old story. But that rsing from the dead part is still pretty impressive, if it is that easy I’m surprised it didn’t catch on.
You might want to add my latest post on the death of decency to your next weekly roundup.
In College I thought I was a feminist, now I am christian. I still favor the women of the bible.
“But that rsing from the dead part is still pretty impressive, if it is that easy I’m surprised it didn’t catch on.”
Great point! I’ll have to quote you on that. Sometimes people get into these egghead conversations about whether Christianity “borrowed” its themes from pagan religions and such (the facts show that it didn’t), but if Jesus really rose from the dead the points are moot.
