God and Guns

With More Children at Peril, a Call to Unarm

Pfleger is taking aim against gun violence and using the church to do so. He is flying the flag outside his parish upside down, a sign of distress used only in extreme emergencies. He says the city of Chicago is in just such an emergency.

"It's an epidemic," says Pfleger. "I've had four funerals of young children so far this year. A 13-year-old going to the store, a 15-year-old killed on a bus. All gun [crimes]."........

The report, and video of, above follows a report from the previous day, below, about a preacher allowing the parishioners of his church to bear arms during church services.

The Right to Bear Arms Heats Up

They clutched their Bibles and wore their handguns on their hips at New Bethel Church in Louisville, Ky., after Rev. Ken Pagano encouraged parishioners to pack both their Bibles and heat to celebrate their right to bear arms -- even in a church sanctuary......

"To have someone bring a gun into that kind of space and to lift it up as if it were a symbol of goodness is horrific," says Rev. Serene Jones, president of the Union Theological Seminary........

As is further stated in the Video, if church's, or any house of worship, allow this that church ceases to be a church!

America in the 21st century, heading into the 19th, advancing backwards, rapidly, while the rest of the planet continues trying to move forward!

'Family': Fundamentalism, Friends In High Places

The above title comes from the NPR show Freshair on 7.01.09

About 'The Family'

In the book The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power, author Jeff Sharlet examines the power wielded by the secret Christian group known as The Family or The Fellowship.

Founded in 1935 in opposition to FDR's New Deal, the right-wing fundamentalist religious group organizes prayer meetings for Congressmen, as well as the annual National Prayer Breakfast......Read Rest Here

Part of Excerpt: 'The Family'

by Jeff Sharlet

A few weeks into my stay, David Coe, Doug's son, dropped by Ivanwald. My brothers and I assembled in the living room, where David had draped his tall frame over a burgundy leather recliner like a frat boy, one leg hanging over a padded arm.

"You guys," David said, "are here to learn how to rule the world." He was in his late forties, with dark, gray-flecked hair, an olive complexion, teeth like a slab of white marble, dark eyes so big they didn't need to move to take in the room......Read Rest Here

The Family: Prayer House and Residence is for Politicians like Governor Mark Sanford, Senator John Ensign and Senator Tom Coburn.

You can bring up their player to listen or find the link at the above site links.

Ands we talk about the Taliban and Muslims, go figure, this groups been apart of our politics for years, and we've allowed it secret or not, they work for us, especially the repubs, or now known as 'rushlicans'!!

Is This The Dole God??

On a visit over to VetVoice in an open thread there was a reply with this link that you should visit, which had this photo:

We are going to intercede at the site of the statue of the bull on Wall Street to ask God to begin a shift from the bull and bear markets to what we feel will be the 'Lion's Market,' or God's control over the economic systems. While we do not have the full revelation of all this will entail, we do know that without intercession, economies will crumble.

I say above you should visit because this blogger adds this:

Just a clue: there's this book called "the bible" that these people claim to follow, but I suspect they've never actually read it, or they might have seen Exodus 32.

And than some of the Bible Verses that might refresh some minds, certainly not these folks, they threw out what they didn't like long ago, same with their preachers.


Thing is the blogger uses 'Charlton Heston' in the subject title, I would think 'Jim Jones' would fit better.


Now looking at the post time and date apparently this happened on the 29th, just the other day, wonder why I didn't see this Outpouring of these Faithful? on the News, hmmmm.


I followed a link in the above bloggers post and that led me to another blog post, with even more photo's.

yesterday of a bunch of Christian nuts praying over a false bronze idol, the Wall Street Bull (or Bowling Green Bull for you dandies out there), asking God to nationalize the economy under the state of heaven

And 'surprise' a Video of the Prayer Vigil:


Jesus People Sing to False Idol to Save God's Economy



People the rapid evolution of the Human has rather quickly been sped up, Backward, I'm afraid and does anyone, religious or not, think that God Blesses This Country and defiantly not Any Other, just look around you!


This may bring back a memory for some:





Again I ask, "Liddy Dole is this the God you're so upset that you accuse Kay Hagan of not worshiping?", for we here in North Carolina, where the folks you represent live, haven't seen you much since getting hired. Nor have we witnessed much of what you claim you've done for the state. And I certainly don't get much in response, almost zip, to anything I send you, and it seems you're training our jr senator as well in that art, hardly get a thing from him neither.


What were your intentions when asking for the job? Were they to go to Washington and join the ranks of your religious?? breathern worshiping the 'Golden Bull' of Wall Street as these faithful? christian? believers? are doing?


Just askin!!


Oh and before I sign off, could you do us all a big favor?


Could you ask Sarah, you know the one picked to run for the Vice President position, under the political party you all claim to believe in also, if she worships the God of the Bible or the Golden Wall Street Bull as well!


From the reports about her and her church it does leave a growing question mark, especially with all the recent reports of her spending habits, spending not her money but the people's money, those she's hired to represent!
