Women who begged for euthanasia has a change of heart – I’m glad she lost the argument.  There are some things such as euthanasia and abortion that you just can’t undo.

Dennis Prager on the false comparison of oxymoronic “same sex marriage” to interracial marriages.  I usually dismiss that red herring by pointing out the skin color is morally neutral and sexual behavior is not.  He goes into more detail.

 . . . no religious or secular moral system ever advocated same-sex marriage. Whereas advocating interracial marriage was advocating something approved of by every religious and secular moral tradition of America and the West, advocating same-sex marriage does the very opposite — it advocates something that defies every religious and secular moral tradition.

Obama’s unreal religion – He says foolish pluralistic things, just like President Bush has done.  Some snippets of a good analysis of what is wrong with his thinking:

Now, facts are either true or untrue – for everyone.  Either Jesus is the Savior for everyone because He reconciles us with God or He isn’t.  It’s not true for some of us, and some other fact is true for others.

Sure, we can believe Christianity is true, yet also be humble about our beliefs.  Humility and conviction about truth aren’t contradictory.  If Christianity is true, a fact, then it’s only logical that we feel compelled to offer the most important solution to our human condition to everyone and anyone.  And they’re free to tell us what they think the solution is.  What isn’t rational is to put religion in the category of personal preference and still think that it’s real.

Vicki Gene Robinson, the gay bishop of the Episcopal church, gets heckled while giving a sermon.  I couldn’t tell what the heckler was saying, but he seemed to have plenty of support.  Now if only people in the U.S. would have done this the first time someone tried to preach the heresies of pro-gay theology.  I mean, if someone stood up and preached the joys of adultery, theft, lying, abortion, etc. shouldn’t they be shouted down?  And whoever gave him the pulpit should be fired.

Stephen Green, of Christian Voice (UK), said: “It is a sad day when you get a bishop in a church preaching something that God himself called an abomination.”

However Robinson responded “When someone stands up and says homosexuality is an abomination, does that make you want to get to know God?”

Of course, statements like that show why Robinson isn’t fit to be preaching to anyone.  God is very unapologetic about what He says in his word.  And I don’t remember Jesus ever apologizing for speaking the truth.

Barnes & Noble is a great place to take your kids, provided that you don’t mind them being exposed to books such as “Ultimate Gay Sex” that contain graphic sexual pictures.  More here.
