We must be prepared to answer these frequent questions, as asked by Michael Coulter. Do Christians want "to throw away science", and "kill in the name of life" (probably referring to capital punishment)? Is it all just superstition? Religion: "its words..so rarely match its actions"? Is there nothing good from Christianity, but "demonstrable benefits of secular thought"? Don't miss Michael's confession at the end as to where his faith stands.

God delusions cloud a world of wonders

Michael Coulter, The Age, May 3, 2009

What I see is a world slowly tearing itself apart for the sake of one faith or another. A world where an extreme faction of Islam wishes to put me and mine to the sword for my unbelief, and to shackle half the world for the crime of being born female. A world where an extreme faction of Christianity wants to throw away science for the sake of millenniums-old superstitions, and is prepared to kill in the name of life. A world where an extreme faction of Hinduism wishes to religiously purify India. A world where people are unashamedly trying to fulfil the biblical conditions for Armageddon.

So, half the temperature increase that has happened over the last century has been cleared in the recent drops. Do we have faith in scientists and politicians, or do we have faith in God - and is it a faith on solid rock, or on sand?

Global warming alarmists out in cold

Andrew Bolt, Herald Sun, April 29, 2009

IT'S snowing in April. Ice is spreading in Antarctica. The Great Barrier Reef is as healthy as ever.

And that's just the news of the past week. Truly, it never rains but it pours - and all over our global warming alarmists.

Time's up for this absurd scaremongering. The fears are being contradicted by the facts, and more so by the week.

Doubt it? Then here's a test.

Name just three clear signs the planet is warming as the alarmists claim it should. Just three. Chances are your "proofs" are in fact on my list of 10 Top Myths about global warming.

And if your "proofs" indeed turn out to be false, don't get angry with me.

Just ask yourself: Why do you still believe that man is heating the planet to hell? What evidence do you have?

So let's see if facts matter more to you than faith, and observations more than predictions.

MYTH 1

THE WORLD IS WARMING

Re: Political Correctness vs. Religion

Greg Hengler, 20 Apr, 2009

After posting my blog on George Will and Obama's Leninism and reading Carol Platt Liebau's post today on "Political Correctness vs. Religion," I would like to tie these two together--that is, what is the relationship between communism, political correctness, and the Judeo-Christian religions?

More 'religious hatred' stuff by those 'secular' who are religiously hating religious hatred. Bob Carr replies that we definately do not need these kind of laws.

Sydney Morning Herald, Bob Carr, April 18, 2009

This week we have heard about an increasing international trend to prosecute religious issues in the courts.

In Britain cases are being brought under laws such as the Religious Hatred Act, which makes it a crime to "stir up" "religious hatred". British police have even warned that insulting Scientology would be treated as a crime.

Such legislation may soon be heading to a statute book near you.

Do condoms make sex ‘safe’?

Many sex education advocates promote the ‘safe sex’ message. Use condoms and you will not suffer any adverse consequences!

Condoms are regularly distributed in Africa in an attempt to overcome the AIDS crisis and reduce the rising HIV infection rates.

You might agree that it is a good thing to try and reduce the number of people getting AIDS.

But do condoms really solve the problem?

Despite what you might have heard in sex education classes, condoms are never 100% safe. Whilst condoms may reduce the risk of pregnancy and STDs, they certainly do not totally prevent them. And they don’t protect against the emotional consequences of sexual activity outside marriage.

While the world just uncritically accepts Yoga and similar eastern practices, as Resistance Thinkers we must ask: hang on, where is this coming from, and what does it actually mean - is it just recreation, or are there other links? The critical mind would see that the positions are forms of worship to various gods. Discuss your experience and knowledge about this on the forum
