A Mockery of Faith.
Below is the movie trailer for the Bill Maher's documentary "Religulous." "According to Maher, the title of the film is a portmanteau derived from the words "religion" and "ridiculous," implying the satirical nature of the documentary that is meant to mock the concept of organized religion and the problems it brings about."
As I have mentioned in previous blogs, we live in a wicked world that is under a very strong influence of the forces of evil and the prince of this world.
Whenever you see someone making a mockery of those of faith who have a religious and moral foundation, then there should be absolutely no doubt about exactly "who" is ultimately behind it. There should also be no need to have doubt about the political affiliations or political leanings of the person or group involved. Without calling of the name of any political affiliation, party or persuasion, almost anyone will recognize that those who support and produce "comedy" of this nature are usually of the same political persuasion as those that:
-oppose the protection of unborn children
-oppose those who use moral and values based standards to make political decisions
-oppose the defense of traditional family values
-oppose the existence of "absolute good" and "absolute evil" in favor of "it depends on your point of view."
-oppose homeschooling, religious and faith based education, school vouchers, and anything that promotes education outside of their "system" of indoctrination.
- oppose a free market capitalism, and the free exchange of goods and services among free people.
- oppose the elimination of the death penalty as punishment for criminals.
-support the modern day slave trade in the form of the international importation of low-wage, unskilled, illegal alien labor from other countries.
-support the removal of prayer from public schools, removal of the 10 Commandments from the Courthouse Square, and the removal of all symbols and signs that the United States is "One Nation Under God."
-support "Religious pluralism" and a belief that all religion is created equal.
-support socialism, communism and other forms of government that limit God given freedom.
-support huge government, an internationalist "one world" government and an international world court controlled a central authority.
-support for non-traditional, non-heterosexual, or unholy matrimony.
-support legalization of illegal drugs, prostitution, sexual deviant behavior, and a "whatever feels good" society.
-support extreme environmentalism and animal rights (i.e. worshiping of the creation vs. worshiping of the Creator.)
Nevertheless.
The in our brief 200 year history, United States of America has been the most productive and prosperous nation in the history of the world. Why?
1. Our motto is "One Nation Under God." "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance." (Psalm 33:12)
2. Our nations defense of the Nation of Israel. "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed (Genesis 12:3)"
To my brothers and sisters in Christ:
The worldly attacks on faith and the marginalization of morals will become a lot worse in the times to come. Opposition to the evils of society will be viewed as intolerance and those who speak against it and refuse to participate will be criminalized or viewed as insane. This nation will cease to exist as the result of our abandonment of God and abandonment of Israel. In the face of adversity, I encourage all of you to stay strong, resist the devils schemes, and keep "...[p]raying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,...(Ephesians 6:18-19)"
"And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. (Luke 12:39-40)"
