About Me

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: Im ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I dont accept His claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to." -C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Obama on Abortion

I do realize that no 1 issue should decide who you vote for in an election, but this is definitely something to think about. I had heard about Senator Obama's stance before, but never so well&nbs...

Daystar Television and its false teachings.

For the last couple of days, the Christian television channel "Daystar" has been running a 24 hours-a-day telethon to raise money for their station. Out of curiosity, I have found myself turning to it...

When is Movie Violence too much? (A Look at "300")

Ever since Clark Gable said, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" (Gone with the Wind-1939) it seems as though Hollywood has slowly but surely pushed language, sex, and violence further and further...

My Review of "Jesus Camp"

I recently viewed the documentary Jesus Camp and I have a few thoughts on the film. First of all, for those who aren't aware, Jesus Camp is a non-religious documentary that focuses on the influence th...

Mel Gibson is a genius

Quick Disclaimer: I do realize what Mel Gibson said in a drunken rage this summer, and I in no way approve of it. I also know, however, that Hollywood seems to have absolutely no problem with filmmake...

Oh, let my pride fall down.

The great Saint Augustine once said, "It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels." I have recently had an epiphany that I should have known all along- men'...
