Everyone talks about the 'religious right' as if it's a new phenomenon in the US. Clearly, it isn't. History shows that it isn't new.
The precepts presented by the 'religious right' are those that were held to by the founding fathers and then right down to the sixties.
It's not the right that's new; it's the liberal elite that's hijacked politics in the recent past.
We're just taking back what's rightfully ours!
I hope Palin and Huckabee type religion/politics is imported into U.K.
At last an import to give us hope that our way of life could be preserved for our grandchildren.
"Mickey Mouse has become an awesome character, even though according to Islamic law, Mickey Mouse should be killed in all cases."
Britain is the most Godless socialist collective I have ever visited and that includes the former USSR Albania Romania and even Holland which is another socialist nightmare. But the UK is the only nation which has a motto Dieu et Mon Droit and a Monarch which is Supreme Governor of the Church of England and a government which actively persecutes Christians (try refusing homosexuals anything they want!) - so the article is not even close to the problem. The country is on its knees now in every sense except the only one which will save it.
Israr Ullah Zehri, who represents Baluchistan province, told a stunned parliament that northwestern tribesman had done nothing wrong in first shooting the women and then dumping them in a ditch.
"These are centuries-old traditions, and I will continue to defend them," he said.
"Only those who indulge in immoral acts should be afraid."
The women, three of whom were teenagers and whose "crime" was that they wished to choose who to marry, were still breathing as mud and stones were shovelled over their bodies, according to Human Rights Watch.
The three girls, thought to be aged between 16 and 18, were kidnapped by a group of men from their Umrani tribe and murdered in Baba Kot, a remote village in Jafferabad district.
According to some reports, Baluchistan government vehicles were used to abduct the girls, and the killing was overseen by a tribal chief who is the brother of a provincial minister from the ruling Pakistan People's Party.
Some accounts said that two older relatives had tried to intervene, but they too were shot and buried alive with the teenagers.
More than six weeks after the deaths no one has been arrested and human rights groups have accused local authorities of trying to cover up the executions.
Mr Zehri told parliament that a fuss should not be made over the killings, however several politicians stood up in protest, describing the so-called honour killings as "barbaric".
Human Rights Watch described the murders as a "heinous criminal offence".
The Pakistani Daily News condemned the killings and called for those responsible to be brought to justice.
"Surely the government should be seeking the murderers, not protect (them) through some dark conspiracy of silence. The fact the act was 'kept quiet' means the government sympathises with such doings," an editorial said.
Jesus teaches in Matthew 18:3 that in order to enter the kingdom of heaven, we must come as a child. Without child-like faith we cannot experience the Kingdom. Children naturally trust and believe easily unless they have been hurt or abused. It is tragic to find a fearful, non-trusting, and suspicious child. These are symptoms of emotional damage.
"If Adam and Eve were the first humans, are we all inbred?"
If their genes were perfect then that isn't a problem. Note that according to Genesis Eve was effectively Adam's semi-identical twin sister: she was his flesh in the most complete sense (to be "one flesh" is part of the Christian notion of marriage).
Indeed the prohibition against brothers and sisters marrying is practical rather than intrinisic: genes are no longer perfect and so close relatives can't get away with it. There would have been no problem with Adam and Eve's kids marrying each other.
Catholics, for example, can marry their first cousins with the permission of their bishop (who examines their family tree).
At least 50 people have lost their sight after staring at the sun hoping to see an image of the Virgin Mary, according to reports.

The hotelier, who has since moved, had claimed that statues of the Virgin Mary in his house have been crying honey and bleeding oils and perfumes.
Muslims have complained over a police advert featuring a puppy sitting in an officer's hat.
A police force has apologised to Islamic leaders for the "offensive" postcard advertising a new non-emergency telephone number, which shows a six-month-old trainee police dog named Rebel.
The German shepherd puppy has proved hugely popular with the public, hundreds of who have logged on to the force's website to read his online training diary.
But some Muslims in the Dundee area have reportedly been upset by the image because they consider dogs to be "ritually unclean", while shopkeepers have refused to display the advert.
But some Islamic scholars believe that dogs are impure and therefore 'haraam' - or forbidden - except for use in hunting or farming, and that it is not hygienic to keep a dog in the house.
They say that the "impurity of dogs is the greatest of animal impurities", and anyone who touches one must wash the body part that has come into contact with the animal seven times.
Mohammed Asif, a Dundee City councillor who sits on the Tayside Joint Police Board, said the postcards had been raised this week with John Vine, the chief constable.
He said: "My concern was that it is not welcomed by all communities, with the dog on the cards. It was probably a waste of resources going to these communities. The police should have understood.
"Since then the police have explained that it was an oversight on their part and that if they had seen it was going to cause upset they would not have done it.
"People who have shops just will not put up the postcard. But the police have said to me that it was simply an oversight and they did not seek to offend or upset."
[Regarding two male priests marrying one another]
Any priest who can sanction this evil has no Gospel to preach. Jesus taught that He and He alone can save sinners from hell. Sodomy is a sin. Unrepentant sinners go to hell. Too bad Williams is so New Age that he can't see the hoof prints of the horned one in the Blasphemy of these false teachers participating in the Eucharist. The Telegraph comments should confirm to all those who love the Truth that
a - the world has not changed -
b - the Church of England is a false Church - it is in fact the Church of the Antichrist and those who think unrepentant homosexuals will inherit the Kingdom of God are the false teachers we are warned of in Jude.
c - Christ will return soon.
The hatred for the Apostle Paul is sufficient to know that the doctrine of these men is the doctrine of demons.
Save by Grace alone. These people have now blasphemed the Holy Spirit -
remember the words of Scripture Hebrews 6
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
Woe to the priests for they have served Baal.
Academics also believe overwhelmingly in Global Warming. And there's a lot more evidence of the existence of God than there is of Global Warming. Clearly the link between academia and IQ is tenuous, at best.
[comment on article "Intelligent people less likely to believe in God"]
I do not consider myself dumb nor highly intelligent either. All I know is God has saved me from death 3 different times in my life. Even the doctors could not figure the miracle cure of my illness out, only I knew for sure. I feel sad for those high IQ's who are going to be begging us dumb and dumber people in heaven "just for a drop of water to quence the burning" they will have to endure. Hey guys, you will be aware of your surroundings and you will feel pain, count on it. Put your brains to work and find Jesus, ASAP!!!
The New World Order plans to kill 5 Billion of the global population with war ,Disease, starvation and of course their old favourite...malnutrition.
So this is just a part of their Eugenics programme. You have to begin to see that the elite in this world do not think, feel or have any relationship with the energy we call love as the majority of the people of the world have...They are the NEFILIM...The Dragons of legend with a differing genetic mix than the majority...This is the reason they interbreed only with their own...
DO NOT LET THEM LEGALISE DEATH FOR IT WILL SOON BECOME MURDER...Remember Harold Shipman?
Paul you and your cohorts shows how some people with intelligence can be stupid. The Bible gets proven more and more correct everyday just you refuse to accept the archeologists findings that prove it. I can show you anotherway to prove it. Mine is a miracle healing documented by the Army, Air Force, University of New Mexico Med School and VA Hospital in Albuquerque. When they had to do bone grafts and realign my leg in 1995 and put screws and other hardware in my leg, it was supposed to take 9 - 12 weeks for the bones and grafts to heal. I was full weight bearing, walking on my leg in 3 weeks. I've seen other examples in friends as well, so how do you with your genius IQ mind explain that or does my genius IQ mind fully comprehend what yours can't process or you refuse to process. When someone can come up with a plausible answer other than mine and others prayers were answered, then maybe you can INTELLIGENTLY discuss what your pea brain refuses to acknowledge.
It may be true to some extent because Higher-IQ people have bigger egos as well. So despite all the evidence pointing to a supreme-being, a creator, an ultimate force governing the law of nature, they the egomaniacs think what they've acheived in their life is because they are so smart. All those atheist 7 agnostics out there, did you can not create a fly. Do you think you make babies with your semen or it is the God that makes the sperm and egg to convert to a baby? is the farmer who sows a seed makes the crops to grow or is it God that turn the seed into a plant?
So it is not higher-IQ, it is the Bigger ego that makes people to more likely to disbelieve in God. We all know, thatone may have a BIG ego without being intelligent.
Perhaps the link is more simple.....academics hate their jobs, they are geeks to they hate their social life, and this self-loathing creates their doubting of God?
Scientific evidence such as polytstrate fossil (fossilised trees going through many rock layers), are evidence for a rapid burial by a catastrophic flood... a tree trunk would not stand around for millions of years waiting to be buried, it would decay quickly.
This is strong scientific evidence against evolution (which says these layers took millions of years to form)
and strong scientific evidence for creation (which says a world wide flood occurred during the days of Noah, as described in the biblical book of Genesis.

Muslim medical students are refusing to obey hygiene rules brought in to stop the spread of deadly superbugs, because they say it is against their religion.
Women training in several hospitals in England have raised objections to removing their arm coverings in theatre and to rolling up their sleeves when washing their hands, because it is regarded as immodest in Islam.
Universities and NHS trusts fear many more will refuse to co-operate with new Department of Health guidance, introduced this month, which stipulates that all doctors must be "bare below the elbow".
The measure is deemed necessary to stop the spread of infections such as MRSA and Clostridium difficile, which have killed hundreds.
[Commenting on an article about Jesus Camp]
What an unfair and biased hack job this article is. It's insulting great swaths of folks across America, and portrays things incorrectly. This film was edited to produce a hostile reaction to the camp, and towards Christianity in general. Check out the producers of this film. You Brits have thrown away Christianity the way you are throwing away your soverignty. Your churches are deserted, almost deserted, or being turned into Mosques. Maybe this writer has a hostility towards Christianity because he's from a different religion. Or an athiest. Or maybe he's gay and can't stand the condemnation. Whatever. Just don't believe this bunk. It's mostly because of Chrtistianity that Americans are the most generous folks in the world. Check out the stats.

"In the Bible, institutional power is referred to as 'the beast', which sets itself up to control people and their morals. Our government has been playing the role of God in saying that people are free to act as they want,"
The military regime in Burma is intent on wiping out Christianity in the country, according to claims in a secret document believed to have been leaked from a government ministry. Entitled "Programme to destroy the Christian religion in Burma", the incendiary memo contains point by point instructions on how to drive Christians out of the state.
The text, which opens with the line "There shall be no home where the Christian religion is practised", calls for anyone caught evangelising to be imprisoned. It advises: "The Christian religion is very gentle – identify and utilise its weakness."
Its discovery follows widespread reports of religious persecution, with churches burnt to the ground, Christians forced to convert to the state religion, Buddhism, and their children barred from school.
