The Hypocrisy of Rod Dreher

I hate to be the person to point this out. But, when I must, I must.

It seems that Rod Dreher shows a bit of compassion and shame when it comes to Mormons who disguise themselves to make some sort of statement about social justice:

The bishop went to the pulpit, pulled off his disguise, and shocked the congregation. More:

Ward member Jaimi Larsen was among those surprised it was her bishop. “I started feeling ashamed because I didn’t say hello to this man … He was dirty. He was crippled. He was old. He was mumbling to himself,” she said.

I am absolutely certain I would have done just as Jaimi Larsen did. This shames me.

However, when it comes to Christians who Dreher happens to disagree with, when it comes to Doctrine; Dreher has no such shame at all:

What a life Paul Crouch had. That’s the most neutral thing I can muster. If you sell people hope and meaning, you can make millions.

As I wrote about my piece on Paul Crouch; I do not make a habit of mocking or criticizing other ministries. Of course, there are exceptions to the rule; like in the case of Charles Stanley, which is more to do with his rejection of Biblical doctrine, rather than his Ministry style.

I am calling Dreher on this one; because this is nothing more than a religious partisan attack on someone who has most likely done more to further the body of Christ, than Rod Dreher as even done. Seeing he is a supposed former papist — who has turned to the idiocy of the orthodox, one should not be too shocked about this sort of tripe from him.

Videos: What kind of Nation have we become?

Before I get into my posting; I need to say the following: There are two days out of the year, that I put this blog into a full stop mode, when it comes to politics. Those two days are Thanksgiving and Christmas; and usually New Years. The reason is this: my friends, there are more things important than politics. One namely is family, another is just to take time away from this blog and from politics in general and just enjoy one day, without having to endure through the raw sewer that is the American political system.

It would be nice for just one year, on Thanksgiving and Christmas, that I would not have to highlight the stupidity of progressivism on this blog. I normally would not waste bandwidth on what I am about to show you all; but, I think it is important for those that read this blog to see what sort of awful nation that this Country has become. Thanks to stupid unconstitutional laws; such as the civil rights act of 1964. Thanks to the liberal left and their entitlement mentality, thanks to the anti-Christian left in this Country, who wishes to ruin the traditions of America.

Having said that, here is a video, which makes this writer want to wretch.

This video from The Conservative Post; which makes my Christian side of me and my deep part of me; which utterly despises the over-commercialization of the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays — want to wretch. I am all for good old American capitalism; but, my goodness; this below is not that, not at all. This below is nothing more than out of control society; who is in need of salvation.

This video is a perfect example of the progressive, herd mentality of those who are actually foolish enough to believe that somehow or another that America is actually some sort of a democracy. This is also the result of what happens when the United States of America caters to a protected minority and allows them free rein to destroy the social underpinning of this great Nation of ours.

Here is the video:

Again, I hate having to write this sort of a posting on a sacred holiday as Thanksgiving; one Holiday in which a Christian, Traditional America actually supposedly gives thanks for the blessings that God has bestowed on this great Country of ours. However, what it has become; is what you have seen above, a Godless Nation of heathen degenerates, who put possessions and power; and the foolish act of temporary joy over the timeless and perfect peace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Some people believe that prayer is the answer; some people believe that a so-called “revival” will help this Nation. I disagree. I believe that the ship of revival has sailed long ago. I believe that judgement is coming to America and it is coming swiftly. This judgement will not discriminate against anyone — white, black, latino, jew or gentile. I believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the ONLY the way out of this judgement. I pray that those who read this blog entry and realize that they need a Saviour and give their lives to Christ.

Because as bad as things are now; when the rapture of the body of Christ happens; and the Biblically warned tribulation starts, things will be much worse. I pray that you make that important decision today.

Update: It appears that Erick Erickson is somewhat on the same page as me. Outside of his use of a corrupt version of the Bible; I think he is right on target. I praise him for writing what he did. (even if he did allow anonymous slanderers to trash me before.)

Costco says that the Bible is fiction

This really does not shock me, seeing the world’s attitude toward Christianity anymore.

The Story:

What do the Bible, “The Hunger Games” and “Fifty Shades of Grey” have in common? All three are works of fiction, according to the booksellers at Costco.

Pastor Caleb Kaltenbach made that shocking discovery last Friday as he was shopping for a present for his wife at a Costco in Simi Valley, Calif.

“All the Bibles were labeled as fiction,” the pastor told me. “It seemed bizarre to me.”

Kaltenbach is the lead pastor at Discovery Church, a non-denominational Christian congregation in southern California.

He thought there must be some sort of mistake so he scoured the shelf for other Bibles. Every copy was plastered with a sticker that read, “$14.99 Fiction.”

When confronted by this, what does Costco do?

This:

I called Costco headquarters in Issaquah, Wash. hoping to get answers. The nice lady who answered the phone told me she was aware of the issue and chalked it up to a “human error at a warehouse.”

“It’s all fixed,” she said.

But actually, it’s not fixed – because there’s a boatload of Bibles in the Simi Valley store still marked as fiction.  

At that point, the nice lady on the phone became not-so-nice and promptly informed me that Costco doesn’t talk to the press.

“Nothing to report,” she said curtly.

A very important thing to remember:

On the one hand Christians should not yell out ‘persecution’,” he said. “We aren’t living in Iraq or Iran. But on the other hand, I believe that we do need to stand up for our faith and we need to be vocal about our concerns.”
That’s a message that resonates with pastor and author Robert Jeffress.

“Let’s hope Costco’s explanation is true and not the result of having been caught attempting to marginalize the very foundation of Christian beliefs, the Bible,” Pastor Jeffress told me. “Christians need to call out organizations like Costco whose actions undermine Christianity – regardless of whether those actions are accidental or intentional.”

Sometimes, a mistake is just that; a mistake. But, it does, like I am sure it does all that will read this, who are believers —- really wonder what Costco’s motivations were or are.  Also too; it would be easy for me to label this an “Obama World” thing. Well, I will not do that one; not on this one. Because what private businesses do are not the fault of the President. Most likely, if anything at all. This was done by some smart mouthed punk in a warehouse somewhere. So, I won’t blame politics or even atheists for this at all.
