Life On The World Of The Cross

by Michael Hart April 26, 2009

The soft light of the instrument panel shone off the large eyes of navigator Dorac. He placed the ship into low orbit, approximately over Washington, DC. Pilot Nandon, pressed a series of actions into the ship. The first was her announcement to the entire host: My friends, we are orbiting the World of the Cross; the tarnished shrine of our beloved Creator Son whom the natives put to death. We are now over the capital city of the federation of states known as the United States of America.

The Resurrection of Jesus

The Two Brothers of Emmaus (after Caravaggio) Terry Kruger

“Did not this Jesus tell you, even in Galilee,
that he would die, but that he would rise again?”
JERUSALEM — Words alone can never fully describe the Resurrection of Jesus. The Urantia Book’s account, which comes the closest to revealing the truth of what actually happened on [...]

Crucify Him

by Terry April 7, 2009

Then Pilate led forth the bleeding and lacerated prisoner, clothed in a old purple royal robe with a crown of thorns piercing his brow and, presenting him before the multitude, said: “Behold the man! Again I declare to you that I find no crime in him, and having scourged him, I would release him.” The crowd, quickly recovering from the first shock of seeing his plight, only shouted the louder and the longer, “Crucify him! Crucify him! Crucify him!”

A Higher Gear

by Terry January 27, 2009

 
“The intellectual factors of religion are important, but their over­de­vel­op­ment is likewise sometimes very handicapping and embarrassing.”— Paper 102, Section 3
 
 
In a thrift store recently I saw a framed sign for sale. I didn’t buy it, but I remembered it. It said:
 
                        Life is a test.
                        It is only a test.
                        If it had been [...]

The Divine Light of Justice

by Terry January 13, 2009

Do we, as a nation, as a race of human beings, desire to live by the rule of law and the ways of justice? Then we must actually live our lives accordingly, and demand that our elected officials do so as well. If there is no accounting, there is no justice.

Apocalypse Arrives

by Michael Hart December 28, 2008

I’m still annoyed that so many Christians are concerned about the supposedly impending destruction of the world as their apocalyptic myth would have it, and yet remain in total denial of the impending destruction of the world as it is actually unfolding via global ecological disaster. The best way to follow their endtimes fetish is, of course, through Apocalypse magazine.

Obama At The Beach

by Terry December 23, 2008

“Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”
( Click )
KAILUA —  Like a lot of people, my wife and I like the Windward shore of Oahu for supreme relaxation and a touch of paradise.  So too, does the Obama family.  We had heard they would be taking a short vacation [...]

The Unavoidable Bigotry of Rick Warren

by Terry December 21, 2008

Juan Cole shared a spotlight with Pastor Rick Warren over the weekend, at the annual Muslim Public Affairs Council in Long Beach. His post is well worth reading, especially so for those who would rather get poked in the eye with a sharp stick than listen to Warren deliver the inauguration invocation.

DIVIDING THE INHERITANCE

by Terry December 6, 2008

When the crowds who came to hear Jesus teach began to include many of his bitter enemies, he explained his decision to teach in parables this way: “I will present my teaching in a parable, so that you may each take for yourself that which finds a reception in your heart.”

The Prodigal Son

by Terry November 29, 2008

If you have never heard this parable, or only know the second-hand account from the Bible, reflect on the fact that the Son of Man created this story, not just for the confused and confounded souls of his day, not just for all future residents of our world, but for every lost soul on each and every world of a projected ten million inhabited planets.

Glossolalia Government

by Terry October 12, 2008

Examine this picture carefully. This is not a Photochop.  At least six or more full grown males are uh, shall we say, “focusing their glossolalia” upon a young female child. This is not “worship.”  This is not “prayer.”  Nor is it remotely religious just because someone claims it is.  But it is a “practice” protected [...]

The Middle Class First.
Not the Red State Middle Class. Not the Blue State Middle Class. Not the Republican middle Class. Not the Democrat Middle Class. Not the Conservative Middle Class. Not the Liberal Middle Class. Not the Right Wing Middle Class. Not the Left Wing Middle Class. [...]

Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me. . .

by Terry July 25, 2008

. . . It’s Jesus Himself, come to anoint Senter Obama! Because He would rather we lose our war than Obama lose the election! Yeah, that’s the snark we’ve been waiting for.
The Vision Thing
Ever wonder how the old dude sees anything? How many 72 year old curmudgeons do you know that don’t wear bifocals? [...]

Obama: The Real Deal?

by Michael Hart July 5, 2008

He may as well be a brother from another planet:
“Greetings; Take me as I am— not as you think I should be.”
The “new politics” of Barack Obama are leaving many Americans lost in his dust. Traditionally they may have been categorized— and understood themselves to be— “liberals,” “conservatives,” “progressives,” “Republicans,” [...]

Thwarting The Lord

by Michael Hart July 3, 2008

Phil Burress poses with full-page antiporn ad.

Phil Burress, head pin of the Ohio-based Citizens for Community Values, recently said of John McCain: “We don’t like him, and he doesn’t like us.” But Burress has even more recently found his nostrils wedged into McCain’s right armpit, following a little Come-to-Jebus moment with the [...]
