Thanks to "Thy Peace" for this exhaustive list!
New links will continue to be added periodically.
It is getting to the point where it is harder to find someone living right than it is to find someone doing wrong. I wonder why anyone wastes their time going to church.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I just wish Jesus would come back and end this sordid affair called humanity. Frankly we stink. Between those who openly reject God and those who claim to accept Him, yet live as though He is not real. I am left wondering what is the point of having "freedom of religion" if this is how people are going to behave. In places where faith in Christ is a dangerous decision I doubt they have this kind of garbage.
ReplyDeleteWow, I have a lot to read! And I was already having trouble keeping up with the 3 or 4 blogs I read regularly.
ReplyDeleteNASS, I love the dog picture at the start of your post. Not sure what it is supposed to represent, but he is clearly a Christian dog, as evidenced by the cross earring.
Oh, duh, I just got it. Watch Dog. I'm slow sometimes. I was right about him being a Christian, though.
ReplyDelete"Thy Peace,"
ReplyDeleteThank you for the links. Some were already listed on the front page; others are just a link back to the newspaper article. Rather than bog people down with duplicates and sites that say nothing new, I've chosen to add relevant new links to the original list and indicate them with an asterisk (*).
Anyone who finds new articles of interest, please e-mail me the link(s) and I'll add them to the front page.
Yes, Junk. In spite of rumors to the contrary, we believe the Watchdog to be a Christian. :-D
ReplyDeleteThanks, TP. I added that one to the front page.
ReplyDeleteIF these folks had had the sense to do a bit of internet research before they did they, they would have stumbled across the Ligoneir debacle of trying to sue an anonymous blogger.
ReplyDeleteOf course, the secular blogosphere got a hold of it and it really hurt donations for a while. But being a para church organization and firing the president for such a stupid move (Sproul's son in law) they were able to live it down. And, they never found the identity of the blogger.
I don't think it is going to be that easy for the church because they did not just file an injunction in court to stop the blogger like Sproul did. They used the power of the state to go after them with subpeona's. This is a whole new ballgame.

Thanks, Thy Link. I guess I have to start another list now. {sigh}

Rather than do another list, since WD has linked to this post as the first link on his blog, you might want to edit this post and rearrange the links. Just a thought.
