Lessons In Apologetics #9: Theism
However, Geisler does not leave readers dangling by requiring them to embrace Theism simply for the lack of another viable alternative. Instead, Geisler provides an argument more positive in its orientation incorporating analytical and evidential components.
The argument is stated as such: "(1) Some things undeniably exist. (2) My nonexistence is possible. (3) Whatever has the possibility not to exist is currently caused to exist by another. (4) There cannot be an infinite regress of current causes of existence. (5) Therefore, a first uncaused cause of my current existence exists. (6) This uncaused cause must be infinite, unchanging, all powerful, all knowing, and all perfect. (7) This infinitely perfect being is called "God". (8) Therefore, God exists. (9) This God who exists is identical to the God described in the Christian Scriptures. (10) Therefore, the God described in the Bible exists.
Borrowing from Descartes' conclusion "cogito ergo sum", Geisler posits that, in order to deny that one exists, one must exist in order to do so. From reflections upon the nature of our own existence, one concludes that our nonexistence is possible. For even though we do not like to admit it, there was a time when the world was at least able to hobble along crippled without us in it.
We know that whatever has the possibility of not existing is currently caused to exist by another. Each of us resulted from the physical union of the genetic material of our respective parents who in turn came from the union of their parents, etc, etc. However, physical laws such as those of thermodynamics point out that this chain must have a cause that does not need to be caused. To accomplish this, the uncaused cause would need to be infinite, unchanging, all-powerful, all-knowing, and all perfect. Anything less would be unable to be this uncaused cause.
It is appropriate to call this cause "God" since it possesses the attributes traditionally assigned to divinity. Therefore, God exists.
Geisler further argues that the God affirmed by this proof is the God described in the Bible because there can only be one infinitely perfect and changeless eternal being. However, at this point in the apologetic task Geisler is careful to point out that, "This does not mean that everything the Bible claims that this God said or did, he actually said or did. Whether or not what the Bible says about this God is another question. What we conclude here is ... the God described in the Bible exists; second, whatever the Bible claims for this God that is not inconsistent with his nature, it is possible that he did indeed do and say (250)."
Having reached this conceptual plateau, the apologist can rest for just a moment before he must begin the sectarian and denominational wrangling to make the case that the Christian path into fellowship with God is indeed the correct one.

Afrosupremacists Plot Buchanan's Demise
Interesting how minorities can plot for cultural dominance yet Whites aren't even suppose to express concerns regarding their own survival.
Say what you want about Pat if he convicts you about participating in the demise of your own race, but he would never call to have someone removed from the media for merely expressing an opinion.

Litigation Whore Gloria Allred Interjects Herself Into The Cain Witch Hunt
The accuser's name is pronounced "Buy-A-Lick".
Some headlines just write themselves.
If false detention is defined as consisting of unlawful restraint against the will of an individual's personal liberty or freedom of locomotion and the Occupy DC protests were perpetrating this against vehicles of a perceived economic status such as luxury automobiles and SUV's, shouldn't this human excrement be charged with a hate crime? This act is not all that different than inhibiting the free movement of a targeted ethnic minority.

And What If We Do Begrudge?
Foremost among these is wallowing himself in a number of opulent luxuries he believes you as a mere commoner ought to curtail and possibly even be denied.
Often, when those in the press pool, who have to be leery when steeping off a curb afterwards, point out the incongruities of a Chief Executive that called for shared sacrifice while the First Family enjoys pleasures the rest of us can only dream about, we are told that the American people would not begrudge the President a vacation.
But what if we do?
Barack Obama, not the American people, was the one lamenting that we eat what we want, drive around in SUV’s, and keep our homes climate controlled at 70 degrees.
Barack Obama, not the American people, is the one with a deep sense of elation each time fuel costs rise. After all, he was the one that told us that, under his system of cap and trade, utility bills would necessarily skyrocket anyway.
As part of the fleet of presidential vehicles, the Secret Service unveiled to the public two modified passenger buses.
These alterations included security enhancements such as armor plating and state of the art electronics. It does not take an engineering degree to realize that neither of these contributed to the mileage and fuel economy of the vehicles in a positive manner.
So while Obama will ride around in comfort and safety, you (on the other hand) if you dare have the nerve to step outside the house since you aren’t really suppose to go anywhere these days, with all the propaganda extolling the wonders of locally grown produce and social planners corralling people into developments of higher population density, are to ride around in rolling death traps that provide little protection whatsoever.
Around the time of the debut of these behemoth additions to the presidential motorcade, Obama announced that fuel efficiency standards were being raised to 54 miles per gallon.
A true leader does not require of those he is charged with overseeing things he is not willing to require of himself.
Barack Obama might hold the highest elected office in the United States. However, he does not do so as a true leader one would gladly follow irrespective of whether or not he was the one that had all the firepower and lawyers at his disposal.

From the contemporary pieces in the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, that's a good racket if you can get break into the field. You've got people really snowballed if you can have fortune and accolades heaped upon you for pieces with less artistic merit than a dog turd steaming in the grass on a cold winter's day.
Patient Forced Back Into Abortion Clinic

A policy proposes holding federal employees in the DC Area in place, to be released in a staggered fashion, during a weather emergency such as a snowstorm. And what is going to happen if they just get up and leave, taking the absence off their sick leave, and especially if it is after the time of their normal dismissal?

Interesting. The ostentatiously pious heap Hellfire condemnation upon those committing the “sin” of voting for Romney when there is no other viable alternative. They then categorize as foolish those backing candidates with Evangelical testimonies such as Herman Cain or Michelle Bachmann. Yet little is said about Ron Paul advocating the legalization of hardcore narcotics such as heroin and likely sodomite matrimony or prostitution along with it.

Teach Immigrants About America Rather Than America About Immigrants
In this era of political correctness where Westerns particularly of a Northern European extraction are to be blamed for every disappointment known to man, it is now we Americans that are not only obligated to go out of our way to familiarize ourselves with the backwards peculiarities of the new arrivals but to also degrade our own cultural standards.
A flier for a Hispanic Heritage Month celebration sponsored by a suburban Maryland municipal agency admonishes, "Join us in honoring the traditions and heritage of our Hispanic/Latino neighbors...You will be introduced to the songs and rhythms of Latin America in an exciting interactive performance for the entire family."
No thank you. Many have already had this experience, irrespective of whether they wanted it or not, at two or three o'clock in the morning thanks to rowdy neighbors that civic authorities are extremely reluctant to tell to tune it down for fear of appearing ethnically insensitive but whom would just as easily crack down on you with SWAT raids and tear gas for removing a tree from your own property if failing to make the proper procedural oblations on bended knee before assorted eco-bureaucracies.
Though few possess the cahonies to say it, it is doubtful that many actual Americans still even remain in the area where this concert is being held. Most of those that will likely attend will be Hispanic to begin with.
Basically scarce public money is being expended in what amounts to little more than Hispanics wallowing in their Hispanicness.
In the present day, tolerancemongers would never permit government funds going to finance an activity to lavish praise upon White people over how wonderful White people are by asking minorities to fawn all over White people for simply being White.
If there is tax money burning a hole in the public pocket that just has to be spent on Hispanics, perhaps it should done in such a way that acclimates this population to our bizarre American ways.
The average American wasn't consulted as to how many migrants both legal and illegal would be permitted entrance into the country because immigration policy is crafted to meet the needs of elites rather than the good of the nation as a whole.
Perhaps high on that list of things to be taught ought to be not playing music so loud at 3 AM that it rocks windows half of a block away.

Muslims Claim Crosses At Catholic University Violate Human Rights
Interesting how Christians sporting crosses at a private university violate Muslims rights but Muslims killing Christians doesn't violate human rights.
I guess no ones human rights were violated when Jihadists flew airliners into the World Trade Center.

Does Vatican Realize It About To Open A Socialistic Pandora's Box?
And does this include the position enjoyed by the Vatican as well?
Or is this yet another example of the "don't do as I do, do as I say" mentality that prevails among globalist elites?
Before calling for the redistribution of global wealth, shouldn't an institution calling for such divest itself of its ostentatious finery that, despite having a certain beauty, wasn't necessarily part of the founder's original business plan when operating in the field?
Before lecturing the rest of us how we need a goodly portion of what we have taken away in the name of the downtrodden, how about telling the downtrodden to exercise a little control over themselves by refraining from having so many children that they can't afford?
Isn't that the greater act of selfishness, going through with one's own carnal enjoyment despite knowing the that the life of the resultant progeny will be likely destitution?
Shouldn't one of the world's foremost moral authorities instead be calling for more independent creation of wealth rather than the centralized bureaucratic redistribution of such resources?
The Vatican insists such reforms are required in order to make the world economy more responsive to democracy.
So what is going to protect Vatican assets when the enemies of all forms of Christianity vote to confiscate that institution's vast and historically varied holdings?
For the sake of sound doctrine and human liberty, patriotic and Tea Party conservatives should be no more reluctant to speak out against the Vatican's call for the redistribution of wealth than they would be of any other politician or institution proposing a similar policy that has historically resulted in the infringement of basic civil liberties and even the significant shedding of innocent blood.

A legalistic Facebook evangelist has condemned a church for selling pumpkins. Who was it, though, that created the pumpkin? Does the Bible not say that God created all foods to be enjoyed with the thanksgiving of those that decide to partake of them? I guess some of these preachers know more than God as to what time of year nature ought to make the pumpkin ready for harvest. If one sees a pumpkin an automatically assumes some kind of innate evil to it, doesn't that speak more to the evil in the heart of the one making that assumption rather than those attempting to spread this bit of organic autumnal cheer?
On the cover of the 11/11 issue of the Humanist, the winner of the 2011 Humanist of the Year Award urges readers to study philosophy "Because it teaches you to question everything." But are Humanists as supportive of such wide-ranging, unfettered inquiry when such intellectual scrutiny exposes the flimsy basis of militant atheism that turns an increasing number in that particular discipline to some kind of traditional theism?

I can tell little difference in what the Muslims are calling for and the penalties that the Christian Reconstructionists would implement under their idealized regime. At least the Muslims are bold enough to declare openly their policy agenda. Point these kinds of things out to a Reconstructionist and they threaten to report you to Facebook admins or accuse you of "despising God's justice".

Vatican Calls For Wealth Redistribution
As part of a comprehensive sex education program, New York students will be required to learn about sado-masochism. Chinese students learn to program computer viruses for the purposes of crippling the technological infrastructure of their enemies. Since in the future we will likely be chained and whipped, I guess this curriculum is to teach us to enjoy it.

Tax break proposed for companies that hire convicts. So not only will these deadbeats be exempt from the jury duty inflicted upon you every three to five years, but now they will likely be granted gainful employment ahead of you. Those of us without criminal records can only hope that they will rob their employers blind.
A proposed program will grant visas to foreigners investing $500,000 in residential real estate. What stipulations will be put in place to protect this scheme from degenerating into the next phase of the Mexican flop house where 3/4's of a single village rather than a single family moves into the common American domicile with the new residents leaning drunk against the fences of their neighbors while playing music loudly well past 1 am on Saturday nights with police reluctant to do anything about it?

Qaddaffi is dead. I was going to make a joke about starting a wager pool as to how soon Christian Reconstructionists unable to fully comprehend the threat posed by radical Islam would start lamenting the demise of this human turd, but some started doing so before I was even able to post this status update.

Democratic Party Full Of Nuts As Well As Flakes
On the 6/26/11 edition of Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace inquired if Representative Michelle Bachman was a flake. As justification for this line of interrogation, Wallace pointed out an instance where Bachman insinuated that certain members of Congress were anti-American.
So apparently in the eyes of those considering Bachman a flake on the grounds it is now allegedly a sign of instability to expose those facts that a number of elites would rather gloss over in the hopes that the American people won’t find out about such personalities and instances.
For example, Cynthia McKinney cannot be described in any other way than anti-American. Not only did this Georgia representative appear on Libyan state television. She also praised the Qaddaffi regime.
People of good conscience can disagree as to the propriety and prudence of U.S. and NATO intervention in this north African uprising. However, what cannot be denied is that old Muammar is one of the great scumbags of the 20th and 21st centuries.
For though Al Qaeda and Qaddaffi’s regime have come to blows in this rebellion, it must be remembered that Qaddaffi was, for a lack of a better term, a superstar of world terrorism decades before any of us ever heard of Bin Laden.
If McKinney wants to position herself as a feminist, she must be asked why would she even give this regime the time of day, much less speak favorably of it. It was reported during one point of the conflict that Libyan forces were using rape as a weapon of terror and intimidation.
It could be argued that, despite her ability to grab an occasional headline such as when she tussled with Capitol Hill police when she insisted regulations regarding members of Congress showing identification didn’t apply to her, McKinney’s subversive tendencies do not necessarily epitomize the foremost personalities of America’s national legislative body.
As one of America’s most prominent families and one of the Senate’s longest serving members, Ted Kennedy was such a part of that institution that he was referred to as the lion of the world’s greatest deliberative body because of his forcefulness in speaking out on behalf of Democratic causes. Though one can be a Democrat and a loyal American (despite this combination becoming increasingly elusive), it could be questioned exactly where Ted Kennedy’s ultimate political loyalties were to be found.
For example, one cannot necessarily cast suspicion by default upon the Massachusetts Senator simply for opposing many of the policies of President Ronald Reagan. After all, a hallmark of a free society is the opportunity to express one’s disagreement with ruling authorities without fear of reprisal.
It is a shame, though, that the youngest Kennedy brother felt the propriety of befriending a regime that epitomized the denial of basic human liberty, namely the Soviet Union.
Those still not convinced of this line of argumentation might observe that, unlike Michelle Bachman, none of these figures are currently in contention for the presidential nomination of their respective party. After all, Ted Kennedy quite literally drove his off a bridge when he fled the scene of an accident in Chappaquiddick, leaving Mary Jo Kopechne to drown. As airheaded as the press might portray her to be, it is doubtful anything that absentminded is to be found in Mrs. Bachman's track record.
To many that would oppose someone like Michelle Bachman winning the Republican nomination and possibly even the presidency of the United States, Barack Obama represents the pinnacle of what this country has to offer in terms of political leadership. However, if one is able to get over the giddiness that the President is half Black to examine him for what he really is as a human being, one cannot avoid the conclusion that Obama is actually flakier than Michelle Bachman.
As a number of her detractors will insist that Michelle Bachman does not have enough experience to be President of the United States. What was it other than emerging from his mother’s birth canal as a baby of mixed pigmentation did Barack Obama do to deserve to have the reigns of the highest elected office in the land handed over to him?
Both Bachman and Obama went on professionally to become attorneys. However, Bachman used her skills to administer her family’s farm and business, adding to the productivity of the United States. Barack Obama used these kinds of skills to become a community organizer in the Alinskyite tradition, meaning he led the downtrodden not into lives of self-sufficiency but rather into dependency on the public welfare roles all for the purposes of overburdening the system in the hopes that it would totter ever closer to the brink of violent revolutionary upheaval as detailed by the Cloward & Piven Hypothesis
Both Bachman and Obama served terms in their respective state legislatures. It was in such an environment that Obama would develop the decisive leadership style he is known for by voting “present” on a variety of issues so he would not be required to take a position one way or the other. One might not that this could be construed as a violation of the injunction in the Gospels of letting your yes be yes and your nay be nay.
The wisdom of the ages holds that you are known by the company that you keep. You can determine a pretty good measure of a man by examining those he surrounds himself with especially in terms of those that he considers advisors.
For example, former White House Director Of Communications Anita Dunn publicly admitted that Chairman Mao was her favorite political philosopher. What all is admirable about one of history’s greatest mass murders?
The affinity of this administration for the most homicidal brands of Communism did not end with that one incident. A Mao ornament was hung from the White House Christmas tree.
Some will laugh this all off. However, would these same fans of Obama be as of a good humor of a presidential underling lauded the political insights of Adolf Hitler or if an Adolf Hitler ornament was spotted dangling from a White House Christmas tree? If anything, wouldn’t a Mao ornament be even more vile since his numbers surpassed the nightmarish atrocities of the Nazi regime, or, since his victims were Chinese rather than predominantly Jewish, these actions weren’t somehow quite as bad?
Granted, somewhere along life’s path we all list among our acquaintances a number of eccentrics and scoundrels. I no doubt fill that role for a number of people. However, for Obama, those closest to him make Dick Tracey’s Rogue’s Gallery look like the Smurf picnic roster in terms of their overall contempt for human liberty.
For example, regulatory advisor Cass Sustein believes those promoting what the government categorizes broadly as "conspiracy theories" should have their freedom of speech curtailed. Sustein also believes that it is the role of the government to implement policies that nudge citizens into certain behaviors. For example, if the government does not want people to rely so much on personal automobiles, increased gasoline taxes might be levied or roads constructed designed in such a way to increase traffic congestion.
Science advisor John Holdren believes sterilants should be put into the public drinking water in order to decrease fertility rates. However, Holdren is not the only Obama minion wanting to do away with what Ebenezer Scrooge dismissed as the “excess population” before this famed miser's Yuletide change of heart. Obama Healthcare Advisor Ezekiel Emanuel thinks that those below or above a certain age range should be denied medical treatment. Basically put a bullet in granny's head.
Obama's Secretary of Energy believes you should be permitted to color your roof any color you want so long as it is white. And speaking of colors, Obama's FCC appointment Mark Lloyd believes White folks should be denied FCC licenses. Obama's State Department Legal Advisor Harol Koh believes that Sharia law should be consulted as a source for American jurisprudence.
It could be argued that flake is a designation in the eye of the beholder. Come election day, voters will have to decide what perspective they want steering the national helm.
Do they want someone thinking that at worst you are a worthless lump to be disposed of by the government as bureaucrats or at best a witless clod needing government control in every facet of your existence. Or do they prefer someone that believes that you are better at optimizing these kinds of decisions in your own life on your own.

There is no shame in the survival instinct. It was created by God. The young aren't suppose to want to die yet. While they should be prepared by telling them to make a decision for Christ, the young should not be condemned for desiring the joys of this life the elderly have since grown weary of. It is only the heathen that love death. It may be an insufficient imagination rather than a sign of religious devotion to go around saying how much one isn't afraid of suffering & the process of death. Usually such people have never seen a breathing tube shoved down the throat of a loved one.

On 10/11/11, I predicted that the Emergent Church crowd would eventually come out insisting it was our Christian obligation to provide nutritional provisions to the freeloaders of the Occupy Wall Street insurgency. On October 14th, the Sojourner's Magazine email alert urged recipients to donate food to these shiftless deadbeats. But not only that, it is also our duty to learn from this rampaging mob. You know, the same thing this propaganda rag most fit for lining birdcages urges in regards to homicidal Communists and jihadist Muslims.
Occupy Wall Street ringleaders should be held responsible for ambulance passengers whose health has been compromised as a result of their terrorist activities. Yes, if you block the streets for political purposes, it should be deemed an act of terrorism. Could you block in a hostile manner the Presidential motorcade without profound legal consequences?

Jesse Jackson Jr. Calls For The Establishment Of An Obama Dictatorship
Wednesday, October 12, 2011
It is one thing to explain in a primary why religion played a role in prompting you to select one candidate over another. On the other hand, it is something else if you live in a state where your vote actually counts to say that you aren’t going to vote for one of the viable candidates at all because neither contenders espouses your professed religious preference. We are not yet at the point where the only alternatives are between a Muslim and a cannibalistic Satanist.
Being Meanest Dog On Block Imperative
But it is exactly because of these kinds of conspiracies why you need to take out a number of these closet pork eaters from time to time.
To maintain our relative safety, we have to promote the assumption that, if you mess with us, you will be met with such overwhelming force that it is not worth the effort.
That is why Toby Keith's "The Angry American" is one of the greatest contemporary country songs.
