Re: Bill Maher’s Malignant Mockery of Persecuted Christians is Repugnant : By Matthew Clark

it sounds like christian persecution is based on cherry picked examples. there are far more sepressed groups in far greater danger than them of lossing there culture/religion how about the indians that were nearly whiped out by christians, what of the crusades? what of the christian owned slaves of the past? what of the voiceless women of christian society in times past? if they are oppressed its no worse then they have inflicted upon others.

South Carolina: The First State in the Country to Stand with Israel Against the BDS Movement : By Miles Terry

As Jews everywhere face a new onslaught of discrimination—most notably the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement—we are beginning to see Americans fighting back on behalf of Israel.

Now, South Carolina has just fired the first salvo against this disturbing anti-Semitic movement.

As we stated previously,     http://aclj.org/israel/congress-proposed-legislation-rejects-anti-israel-movement

[T]he primary aim of the [BDS] movement is to marginalize and delegitimize Israel on the national scene by pressuring corporate and government entities to participate in economic boycotts against Israeli institutions, pull resources and investments from those institutions, and impose sanctions against the state of Israel because of the ways in which it has chosen to defend itself from the hostile, anti-Semitic forces in the Middle East that seek the outright demise of Israel as a political state."
This is an issue we are heavily engaged in through our legal and government affairs work at the ACLJ.

And now states are starting to challenge this discrimination head-on as well.

As a native South Carolinian, I'm very pleased to report that the Palmetto State has become the first state in the country to stop the efforts of the BDS movement within its borders.

Last week, Governor Nikki Haley signed H 3583, a bill designed to "prohibit the state or a political subdivision of the state from accepting a proposal from or procuring goods or services from a business which engages in the boycott of a person or an entity based on race, color, religion, gender, or national origin."

The new law will ban any public entities from "contracting with businesses engaging in the boycott of a person or an entity based in or doing business with a jurisdiction with whom South Carolina can enjoy open trade."    http://www.jpost.com/Diaspora/South-Carolina-becomes-first-US-state-to-take-action-against-anti-Israel-boycotts-405120      http://aclj.org/israel/south-carolina-the-first-state-in-the-country-to-stand-with-israel-against-the-bds-movement

Bill Maher’s Malignant Mockery of Persecuted Christians is Repugnant : By Matthew Clark

With the backdrop of a Fox News banner Reading "Christians Under Attack" and "War on Christians Around World," Bill Maher sprays his vitriolic venom for Christians, running his own headline, "Witless for the Persecution."

While I can take a good (even bad) joke and Maher's (speaking of witless) attempts to get a cheap laugh while proselytizing his leftist, elitist brand of angry atheism don't send the Christian community into a fit of rage, his hostile hypocritical vile rancor went far beyond his HBO reputation for insolence.

His most recent hit piece on Christianity aired earlier this week. It started out as his normal atheist antics masquerading as comedy to take pot shots at faith from high atop his ivory media thrown. But then he said this:

"Christians love to feel persecuted. It's part of their origin story. But we're a long way from them getting eaten by lions in the coliseum."     https://youtu.be/ybH66U72xd0

That's asinine.

No. Now, they are being beheaded on beaches. Christian children are being gunned down in Christian schools. Peaceful Christian worshipers are being lured to fake church services to be massacred.    http://aclj.org/persecuted-church/isis-beheaded-21-christians-but-it-couldnt-silence-their-faith     http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/29-boys-killed-boko-haram-attacks-boarding-school-nigeria-n37991      http://aclj.org/sharia-law/evil-personified-boko-haram-uses-fake-preachers-to-gun-down-dozens

Christians face genocide in the world today. Yet Maher has the unmitigated gall to insult their suffering, parody their persecution, and degrade their death.

Maher has an agenda. He's an angry atheist (one of the angriest). He hates religion, but Christians most of all. He's a far left liberal elitist. And he's willing to stop at nothing to trash Christianity.

But the fact that he's willing to use the slaughter of innocent Christians around the world as his atheist punching bag is beyond even his pale.                                                           http://aclj.org/persecuted-church/bill-mahers-malignant-mockery-of-persecuted-christians-is-repugnant?utm_medium=Email&utm_source=ExactTarget&utm_campaign=newsletter

Re: Abortion Industry’s “Hail Satan” Lawsuit Against Texas Pro-Life Law Goes Down in Flames : By Matthew Clark

wow people dont get sarcasm or irony anymore. clearly a joke abet in bad taste. 

Abortion Industry’s “Hail Satan” Lawsuit Against Texas Pro-Life Law Goes Down in Flames : By Matthew Clark

They chanted, "Hail Satan," as they worshiped at the altar of abortion.    http://www.redstate.com/diary/matthewclark/2013/07/03/pro-abortion-mob-shouts-hail-satan-battle-for-life-is-battle-of-good-vs-evil/

They tried to drown out the voice of the people to defeat a lifesaving law. They failed.

This was the bill the Left abhorred, abortionists loathed, and the Culture of Death feared.

Today, the abortion industry's grand attempts to bury a critical pro-life law in Texas went down in flames.

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a pro-life law in Texas that requires abortion clinics to abide by basic safety standards and mandates that abortionists in those clinics have critical lifesaving hospital admitting privileges should they botch an abortion will go into effect.

This case delivers a major blow to the abortion industry.

The court said simply: http://www.ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/14/14-50928-CV0.pdf

In plain terms, H.B. 2 and its provisions may be applied throughout Texas, except that Supreme Court precedent requires us to partially uphold the district court's injunction of the [safety] requirement as applied to the Whole Woman's Health abortion facility in McAllen, Texas, and to uphold the district court's injunction of the admitting privileges requirement as applied to Dr. Lynn when he is working at the McAllen facility.
In other words, the entire attack on the law – which actually bans abortions after 20 weeks in Texas (the major portion of the law that was never challenged) – miserably failed. Except for the safety requirements for one abortion clinic and the hospital admitting privileges for one abortionist at that abortion clinic, the entire law stands. (Unfortunately, the court feels hamstrung by Supreme Court precedent as applied to this clinic.)

99% of this law goes into effect. It's a major win for the lives of unborn babies and a major defeat for the abortion industry that puts profits ahead of basic safety standards.

The result: many abortion clinics in Texas will be forced to shut down. Lives will be saved.     http://aclj.org/pro-life/culture-of-death-suffers-another-stunning-defeat-texas-abortion-clinics-being-shut-down

At the ACLJ, we filed an amicus brief in this case cutting through the abortion industry's deceptions and detailing the dangers of unregulated abortion.       http://aclj.org/pro-life/aclj-challenges-abortion-marketing-ploys

This pro-life law serves as a model for the country and a retort to big abortion's power. This week, a similar law, banning late-term abortions, is expected to be introduced in the U.S. Senate after passing the House of Representatives with bipartisan support.      http://aclj.org/pro-life/fight-to-stop-painful-late-term-abortions-goes-to-the-senate        http://aclj.org/pro-life/two-years-after-gosnell-house-will-vote-to-protect-unborn-life             http://www.redstate.com/2015/06/09/abortion-industrys-hail-satan-lawsuit-texas-pro-life-law-goes-flames/

Re: Move to Ban Christian Club From School; Bible Deemed ‘Harmful to Children’ : By Macey France

your freaking out over nothing. they are still all over the place and they have been deemed constatutional as long as they are not obligitory. they are usually very seldom attended though to the point they have been bribing kids to come with talk of free food. #gods not enough bring out the free pizza.

Move to Ban Christian Club From School; Bible Deemed ‘Harmful to Children’ : By Macey France

Journalist Kathleen Stewart is raising the alarm on a Christian club called Child Evangelism Fellowship. If you have never heard of this club, you may have heard of the Christian clubs it has launched across the country in public schools called The Good News Club.

Stewart authored a book titled, "The Good News Club: The Christian Right's Stealth Assault on America's Children." Parents became alarmed at the possible presence of The Good News Club in their local schools and staged a protest in downtown Portland, Oregon last year. They cited Stewart's book as the reason for their protest.

Oregon Live reports:

The Good News Club has been controversial across the nation, but Portland may be the first city to organize on such a large scale against the group.

The Good News Club's curriculum includes teaching children that every person is a sinner. In the eyes of many Christians, "sin" is any failure to meet God's standards. The Bible states, for example, that "all have sinned."
"We believe that these doctrines are harmful to 5-year-old children," Robert Aughenbaugh, a a co-founder of Protect Portland Children, said last July. "They teach fear. They teach shame."

Talk about cherry picking an issue that is taught in the Club. I'm positive that the Club also teaches the other side of that issue. After all, "The Good News," (or another word for it; the Gospel), is to spread the news that Jesus died for us while we were still sinners! The Good News by far outweighs the "insult" of being called a sinner.

Before anyone gets on their "separation of church and state" argument, according to The Good News Club's website:

In 2001 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Good News Clubs v. Milford Central School that Good News Clubs can meet in public schools in the United States after school hours on the same terms as other community groups. Children attend Good News Club only with their parents' permission.   https://www.cefonline.com/good-news-clubs/415-2001-supreme-court-ruling
In my town schools offer children access to the Good News Club through permission slips given to their parents. The parents then decide if their child is allowed to get on a bus and travel to the Good News Club's meeting and then ride the bus back to school. The Club doesn't even take place in the school building.

Aughenbaugh would like to usurp parental rights by saying that he and his organization are better equipped to parent your child and decide whether or not he or she should be introduced to the Gospel.

As for the author, Katherine Stewart, she will be in Portland this week stoking the flames of hatred and prejudice against Christianity with a speech entitled, "How Religious Fundamentalism Threatens Oregon's Public Schools."

I would like to see Stewart direct her attention to the lessons regarding the 5 Pillars of Islam being taught in schools across the nation. Or maybe the LGBTQ clubs present in schools. How about the atheist clubs? It's only fair, right?

Ironically, the speech will be given at a Unitarian Church. Oh wait...
