New Atheist Demand: ‘Don’t Say the Pledge’

It still fascinates me that atheists deny using the apparatus of the state to wage an inquisition against Christians. Forcing a Christian to take part in a homosexual parody of marriage, turning the First Amendment on its head to prohibit the free exercise of religion, hauling Christians up in front of “human rights” tribunals–gee! just like in communist countries!–that’s not a purposeful campaign of harassment?

Coulda fooled me!

Memory Lane: ‘Lamp Unto My Feet’ TV Show

Lamp Unto My Feet

It’s almost impossible to imagine this on network television nowadays: Lamp Unto My Feet, an hour-long religious anthology show that aired on Sunday mornings from 1948 to 1979. But we are living in a time of cultural disaster.

Now I have to admit I never saw this show. We went to church or Sunday school on Sunday mornings, and didn’t watch TV. And from the descriptions I’ve read, maybe it was just a tad too interfaith, too world-friendly for me. If they brought it back today, it would be recast as a multicultural parody of itself.

But the whole idea, by today’s debauched standards, is radical. I mean, you turn on your TV and there’s a great actor like James Earl Jones playing in a drama intended to edify a Christian or Jewish audience! If you had that today, Organized Atheism would howl its lungs out and some Christ-hating judge would shut you down.

Too bad we can only imagine it.
