‘More Religious Neutrality: NY Times Bans “Jesus on Trial” from Best Seller List’
Remember this, from 2014? David Limbaugh’s book, Jesus on Trial, was the No. 1 best-seller on Amazon, which would have placed it No. 4 on the New York Times’ list… if the Times hadn’t chosen to pretend it didn’t exist.
More Religious Neutrality: NY Times Bans ‘Jesus on Trial’ from Best Seller List
Having read the book myself, I can’t explain why the Times banned it from its list. It’s just a book about Jesus by a Christian who believes in Him. Uh, wait a minute, I think I might’ve just answered my own question….

Should the State Control the Content of Religious Sermons?
(Thanks to Susan for the news tip)
Well, they’re at it again–trying to give the state the power to control what gets said in sermons in our churches.
In cahoots with a gaggle of liberal “clergy,” a California legislator has proposed a “resolution” before the Assembly Judiciary Committee to make churches stop saying there is anything sinful or wrong about homosexual behavior (https://californiafamily.org/2019/ca-legislators-to-tell-pastors-what-to-preach-from-their-pulpits-on-lgbt-behavior-identities/?fbclid=IwAR2K4ptkHLuscKJh-hcYCMKv9hMK0nrRlfdYuX8q2G5LItPBqoXsf65I_XI). The resolution will be presented tomorrow to the full Assembly.
The measure is aimed at stopping “conversion therapy,” which helps patients deal with unwanted sexual attractions… and, its sponsors say, preventing suicide. Leftids insist that homosexuals commit suicide because Christians fail to “affirm” them.
Not so long ago, the lesbian mayor of Houston was forced to pull back on a scheme to require all sermons to be submitted to the city government for its approval before they could be preached. Nationwide outrage caused the plan to be scuttled (https://leeduigon.com/2014/10/30/so-you-think-the-fight-is-over/).
Bob Hope once joked about moving out of California “before they make it compulsory”–homosexuality, that is.
It doesn’t seem so much like a joke anymore.
War is being waged on Christian America. And either Christian America wins, or Christian America dies. Win or die. The Left does not offer any other option.
Why Do Atheists Do This?
Advanced atheist rhetoric: see with what forensic skill he makes his point.
I like to start each blogging day by posting a hymn. I pick up the video from Youtube.
And every now and then I came to a page where all comments have been deleted and from which any new comments are blocked. Why should that be?
Well, we can visit pages where this has not yet been done, and then we understand. It seems there are atheists who visit hymn pages to mock and curse the Christians and their faith, hurling profanity at the hymns and the people who wish to listen to them. ‘Cause somehow wanting to listen to a hymn is, uh, imposing your religion or something. But stopping people from listening to hymns is not imposing your religion. It’s not easy to follow this line of reasoning.
So they have to erase the comments because the page gets filled with f-bombs.
I guess when you’re *The Smartest People In The World* it entitles you to insult the peasants. In fact, they ought to thank you for it: how can they appreciate how smart you are, without being made to see how dumb they are? That you’re able and willing to control and manage their stupid lives for them should move them to do cartwheels in their joy.
“Protected minorities” have all become aggressive, always looking to pick a fight because they know the Establishment will back them up. Go ahead, name one protected minority that’s not aggressive.
We didn’t need a crystal ball to see that coming, did we?
‘The Atheist Shopping Mall’ (2014)
“Don’t let me catch you praying!”
Quick quiz! Which group gets to impose its religious beliefs on everybody else? If you guessed “atheists,” go to the head of the class!
Remember this? At a shopping mall in Dublin, Georgia, first a security guard–what the hell???–and then the mall manager told people they couldn’t pray on the premises. They had a “policy”! Jidrools always have a policy.
They backed down, of course, once the public found out about it and got rather angry–like, who do these freakin’ nematodes think they are? But they get away with so much, when it comes to banning prayer and other expressions of the Christian faith (they don’t bother trying to stifle any other religion: and what does that tell us?), you probably can’t blame them for expecting to get away with it every time they try it.
We are living in the middle of a war for the survival of Christian America. Either Christian America wins or Christian America dies.
May the Lord of Hosts give us victory.
As I Was Saying… Yeah, They Want to Ban the Bible
I had no sooner posted my old satire from 2015, about morons trying to ban Bible-reading in church, when this story came in via Worldnetdaily:
Christians have had to sue the Evergreens at–at!–Smith Run retirement center–cute name, ain’t it?–for religious discrimination against a retired pastor and his wife who had been hosting non-denominational Bible study sessions in their own apartment. That was after they got kicked out of the common area.
On top of that, they’ve been threatened with eviction and the “at” owners have refused to renew their lease. Some retirement, eh?
Oh–and while all this goes on, “a small group” of, er, residents has assaulted the Christians both verbally and physically. But you don’t see the management threatening to kick them out, do you?
The lawsuit alleges (ya think?) that the “at” owners violated the federal Fair Housing Act by discriminating against the pastor and his wife on religious grounds. Which of course is what they have done.
The Supreme Court recently smacked down the state of Colorado for its overt hostility to Christians. No, not the whole state–just the government. Because somehow aggressive atheism has become the official religion of certain states and their governments. But you don’t see the ACLU complaining about that, do you?
Let us pray for the complete success of this lawsuit. We are Christians and this is still our country.
Shame and shame on us if we lose it.
‘Lawsuit Seeks to Abolish Bible-Reading in Church’ (2015)
This was pure satire when I wrote it, four years ago. But every day it shambles just a little closer to reality.
Fair warning: a Congress capable of passing the so-called “Equality Act” is capable of banning Bible-reading.
Next time a Democrat wins the White House, watch out. They will try to erase religious liberty.
Church Wins in Battle with City and Pot ‘Facility’
Not this time!
There’s a city ordinance in San Diego, California–yes, even in California–that says you can’t set up a “marijuana facility” within 1,000 feet of a school, a playground, or a church. So along comes a bunch of potsters setting up their “facility” practically next door to a church–and demanding that the church should move, it has no right to be there. And the city immediately sprang in to side with the potsters (https://www.wnd.com/2019/05/marijuana-firm-attacks-church-loses-badly/).
We are happy to report that the church’s subsequent lawsuit against the city has been settled with the city totally capitulating, a complete victory for the church. The city will pay all the legal fees and amend its ordinances so that this kind of thing will be less likely to occur in the future.
The potsters falsely claimed the church was “in a flood zone” when it wasn’t, then tried to buy the church, and then got the city to go along with their scheme to build a “marijuana facility” practically next door to the church. (Sorry, but I’m not sure what kind of “facility” it was going to be. It didn’t get built, so probably it doesn’t matter.)
The city settled out of court by way of an unconditional surrender. What were they afraid the judge was going to do, if the case came to trial? Maybe they were looking down the barrel of punitive damages like they never imagined.
Is it just me–or is this campaign to legalize pot coming down from somewhere at the top and has an evil intent?
May the Lord our God defend us.
‘The Anti-Bible Magic Trick’ (2015)
Leftids think everyone is stupid. They think we can’t see through clumsy tricks like this.
If Jesus Christ is not the Lord and Savior, if He was only a nice guy who had some eccentric ideas, once upon a time–if He even existed at all–why do they rage against Him so? Why do they want to strip people of their livelihoods for believing in Noah’s Flood? I mean, you see what happens to their faces…
Heck, I get exasperated when they spout their fairy tales of Man-Made Climbit Change: but that’s mostly because they want to use it as an excuse to tell other people what to do.
They need new writers. Their old ones are out of ideas.
