Tolerance and Acceptance are mutually exclusive of each other. One cannot be both tolerant and accepting at the same time because once a tolerant person become accepting of any attitude or activity there is no longer any reason to be tolerant of that attitude or activity. The difficulty with these mutually exclusive terms in civil society is that minority groups tend to define “tolerance” as “acceptance.” This tends to place the civil society in the position of “the tail wagging the dog.”

In a civil society where families and individuals come together to form a community, state or nation those forming the civil society have a right to determine the parameters and limits of their mutual association. They may be tolerant of persons within their midst holding differing attitudes but they as a society do not have to accept the minority attitudes for their society.

Those with the minority attitudes are at liberty to go elsewhere and establish a civil society based upon their attitudes and activities as a majority. Such was the case with those who fled Europe to the New World so that they could worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience. It is interesting that once here they set up their “civil societies” based upon similar intolerance that they had just fled. For example, in New England if you did not belong to the “accepted” church of the several colonies, you were not permitted to own land or hold elective office.

Following this standard the majority of the thirteen colonies and later the original thirteen States had established “state religions” albeit they were all “Christian” religions. In fact, Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson, who formed the “civil society” of Rhode Island were expelled (more…)

Semantic infiltration (SI) is a phenomenon of language that occurs when certain people deliberately replace one word or phrase deemed offensive with another term that better frames and strengthens their point of view. With the help of the Courts, Media, Academia and even the Church they successfully circulate, popularize and legitimize SI jargon to establish their frequently anti-Christian agenda.

An early modern example of SI comes from the Cold War era, when the Soviet Union deployed terms like “wars of national liberation“, their real purpose being “global conquest“. Since then the use of SI has proliferated, especially in the moral sphere. Designer terms like “sexual diversity training” have been fashioned to obscure a hidden agenda. Like a Trojan horse, these code-like words release moral presuppositions and values into the minds of people who use them that are contrary to the Judeo-Christian ethic.

Some examples of SI are quite obvious, such as replacing “Christmas lights” with “holiday lights”, or “Merry Christmas” with “Happy Holidays”. Other examples (more…)

At this Easter season with all the uproar about removing prayer and Bible reading from the schools and the ten commandments from public places, etc., this is worth a moment or two of your time.

A little known detail about our nation’s capitol is that in Washington, D.C. there can never be a building greater in height than the Washington Monument. A little known fact concerning the monument is that on the East side of the aluminum cap atop the Washington Monument are displayed two words: Laus Deo. No one can see these words. In fact, most visitors to the monument are totally unaware they are even there and for that matter, probably couldn’t care less.

Laus Deo! Two seemingly insignificant and unnoticed words. Out of sight and, one might say, out of mind, but very meaningfully placed (more…)

Ducit amor Deus et patria !

I make no apology for my faith in God. I make no apology for my belief that God raised up the Founding Fathers to establish this nation as freedom’s beacon of hope in a world of darkness. Nor do I apologize for my belief that the Founding Fathers were inspired by that same God to write our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. I firmly believe that without His “almighty hand” leading the colonists our Constitutional Republic would not have been established. I also firmly believe that without God’s “almighty hand” leading us today our Constitutional Republic cannot be saved and restored to it original greatness.

One of the main troubles with our nation today can be summed up in the words of Thomas Paine, “What we obtain too cheaply, we esteem too lightly; ’tis dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.”

The majority of the citizenry of our nation have taken no thought for the freedom they enjoy because it has been handed to them. They do not even remember those (more…)

Do not know if this is true, but is a darn good story!!!

If you don’t know GOD, don’t make stupid remarks!!!!!!

A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist, and a member of the ACLU.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, “GOD if you are real then I want you to knock me off this platform. I’ll give you exactly 15 min.” The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.

Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, “Here I am GOD, I’m still waiting.”

It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently.

The other students were shocked and stunned, and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to. Noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, “What in the world is the matter with you? Why did you do that?”

The Marine calmly replied, “GOD was too busy today protecting American soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So He sent me.”

The classroom erupted in cheers! AMEN!!

I Bet this was a surprise to NBC

Their Poll Question: “Do you believe that the word God should stay in American culture?”

They had the highest number of responses that they ever had for one of their polls.

86% were for keeping the words, In God we Trust and God in the Pledge of Allegiance.
14% were against

That is a very commanding public response. Therefore, I have a very hard time understanding why there is such an uproar about having “In God We Trust” on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Why is the world catering to the 14%

In Florida, an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover Holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days.

The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring, “Case dismissed!”

The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, “Your honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my Client and all other atheists have no such holidays.”

The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, “But you do. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant.”

The lawyer said, “Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists.”

The judge said, “The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day. Psalm 14:1 states, ‘The fool says in his heart, there is no God.’ Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned.

EDITOR’S NOTE: As a Christian, I really could hope this was true, but it is really only satire!
