Pastor to rabbi, imam: U.S. is a ‘Christian nation’ but we ‘let’ you worship
A Pentecostal bishop on Sunday told a rabbi and an imam that the U.S. was a “Christian nation” that was bridging religious divisions because Christians would “let” other faiths worship and “we’re not going to persecute you.”
Speaking to a interfaith panel on CBS News, Hope Christian Church Pastor Harry R. Jackson responded to Rabbi David Wolpe, who said that the Americans should “celebrate difference” because “God is greater than any religious tradition.”
“In deference to the Christian foundation of this nation, it is that foundation that allows us freedom,” Jackson explained. “I don’t see this diversity in other places. So to the credit of our Christian foundation of this nation, this freedom we’re experiencing is because folks came and said, ‘We believe this is to be a Christian nation. We feel like we’ve been persecuted in the places we came from, and we’re going to intentionally let this nation be founded in a way that if you come here and you’re Islamic and you come here and you’re Jewish, we’re not going to persecute you.’”
“Although we don’t worship as Jewish people, we’re going to let this country be guided in a place where there’s going to be liberty and freedom or worship. I feel we’d be remiss if we act like some other set of countries has operated in this way.”

Eyes Turn to White Supremacist Gangs in Murder of Two Texas Prosecutors
Kaufman Police Chief Chris Aulbaugh said recently the FBI was checking to see if Hasse’s killing could be related to Clements’. Evan Spencer Ebel, a former Colorado inmate and white supremacist who authorities believe killed Clements, died in a March 21 shootout with Texas deputies about 100 miles from Kaufman.
Investigators had been looking into the possible involvement of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas in Hasse’s killing.
McLelland, 63, said after Hasse’s slaying that he carried a gun everywhere he went, even to walk his dog. He figured that was where assassins were more likely to try to get him. He said he had warned all his employees to be constantly on the alert.
“The people in my line of work are going to have to get better at it,” he said of the danger, “because they’re going to need it more in the future.”

Much of Google’s business depends on pornography. For example, 25% of search engine requests are for pornography.[4]

The problem may be that Google doesn’t respect traditional Christian holidays, in favor of a ‘culturally-correct’ approach. In addition, Google accepts the Theory of Evolution by Charles Darwin as fact, promotes Darwin on their homepage with a Google Doodle logo. [16]
Google often honors Russia with their logo of Sputnik and for composer Igor Stravinsky. Google based their Independence Day logo on ‘This Land Is Your Land’ as an ode to leftism.

re: #96 dragonath
By the way, conservatives complaining about google doodles isn’t anything new. Here’s a National Review post bemoaning a doodle commemorating the anniversary of JFK’s inauguration.
That’s not really “bemoaning”. That’s saying “OK, they commemorated JFK’s inauguration at 50. Will they do the same soon for the 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s birth”. Seems more a demand for equal time than an attack.

Ask how many creationists are in the biology department.
None. They’re all still trying to change a bulb.

Yes, the commenters agree too:
Google won’t observe it, and you can take that to the bank. They are radical liberals, and won’t celebrate Christian holidays, American holidays, or President Reagan’s birthday. Only “holidays” like Ramadan, Kwanzaa, and “Labor Day.”

Someone’s getting an early start on April Fools… via a Facebook link… but the person posting was taking it all too seriously.
And then the quotes are priceless.

Appropriate Muslim response: Ya majnoon (what a loon)
Appropriate Jewish response: What a shmuck (self explanatory)
In line with my “choad” remark about this “man of God”, I’ll add that he’s a putz.

Never got into the show, can’t start now.
I’m instead watching classic Doctor Who (it’s been essentially a Whovian Marathon all weekend, with some Torchwood thrown in). The Spearhead From Space. Jon Pertwee. Can’t say I’ve ever seen the episode before, but it’s certainly the Mrs. first time.

The Ten Commandments was on here in Liberal Chicagostan.
It was on last night in the NYC metro area. Usually is on in and around Passover (which is what the story retells).

Just checked, and while ABC has put The Ten Commandments on during the Passover/Easter season in past years, it’s now running on Saturdays as part of their Saturday Night movie scheduling.

Arctic ‘greening’ seen through global warming
Land within the Arctic circle is likely to experience explosive “greening” in the next few decades as grass, shrubs and trees thrive in soil stripped of ice and permafrost by global warming, a study said on Sunday.
Wooded areas in the Arctic could increase by as much as 52 percent by the 2050s as the so-called tree line — the maximum latitude at which trees can grow — shifts hundreds of kilometres (miles) north, according to computer simulations published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
“Such widespread redistribution of Arctic vegetation would have impacts that reverberate through the global ecosystem,” said Richard Pearson of the American Museum of Natural History’s Center for Biodiversity and Conservation.

That might actually slow global warming, though. More trees = more absorption of CO2 .

It would trade off with lost vegetation, plus the release of greenhouse gases from permafrost.

So, everybody knows that Dr. Ben Carson, the right wing’s new hero, is a young earth creationist, right?
An unusual controversy has erupted at Emory University over the choice of famed neurosurgeon Ben Carson to deliver this year’s commencement address because he does not believe in evolution.
Nearly 500 professors, student and alumni signed a letter (see full text below) expressing concern that Carson, as a 7th Day Adventist, believes in creationist theory that holds that all life on Earth was created by God about 6,000 years ago. It rejects Darwin’s theory of evolution, which is the central principle that animates modern biology, uniting all biological fields under one theoretical tent, and which virtually all modern scientists agree is true.
The letter’s authors are not seeking to have Carson disinvited. Instead, they say it was written to raise concerns about his anti-scientific views.

Fox News contributor: ‘It gets a little comfortable to be in poverty’
Appearing Saturday on Fox News’s “Cavuto on Business,” contributor Charles Payne insisted that he knows firsthand how “it gets to be a little comfortable to be in poverty” in the United States.
“There’s this idea that between the food stamps and the welfare and the earned income tax credit and the child tax credit and the local programs, you know, it gets a little comfortable to be in poverty,” he said. “Listen, I’ve lived it first hand. I’ve seen when people don’t go to work because they get everything paid for them. The incentive is not there.”
Payne, one of the network’s more vocal critics of assisting the poor and under employed, expanded on his theory about the laziness of poor people during a broadcast last Thursday, explaining that he’s disappointed so many Americans — over 47 million, according to the latest official numbers — are on food stamps. “What we actually have ended up doing is created a wall, a giant barrier, where people don’t move out of poverty into the middle class because in that initial transition they actually lose money and lose benefits,” he said.

By that reasoning, all Catholics are opposed to abortion and birth control. He may be a creationist, but do the signers of the letter know what his views actually are?

AGW also self reinforces through subliming methane hydrates and thawing permafrost.

Ice and snow are excellent reflectors of light, back into space. When that melts, plants and dirt absorb light, making things even warmer. The tipping point may have been reached.

For the newly uncovered soil to support a large growth will take a couple hundred years. There will be sparse vegetation that will die off and start the process of soil generation, but it is not an overnight process.
And as was mentioned, the methane release from the thaw will be significant.
