Lutheran Review Of "Transformers: Age Of Extinction"
Contrary to what these pastors harped, no one is going to be moved to see the Transformers movie because of the father/daughter relationship of the characters. Viewers are going to see Optimus Prime ride a Dinobot.

Gay Pride Whopper Slips Thick Meat Between The Buns
So of if there is to be a gay pride Whopper that celebrates slipping the thick meat between the buns, will there be a heterosexual marketing campaign for those that like to wiggle their chicken tender around in the dipping sauce container?

Fascinating how these ministries that condemn education anywhere but in the home and the concept of youth groups altogether rather than just those administered in a liquefied kidney expellant impoverishment manner rank among the first to condemn and ridicule those not married by the time they are 22.
Referencing congressional Republicans outraged at the President’s threats to bypass the process of authorizing legislation, Obama flippantly responded “So sue me.” However, given his contempt and disregard for constitutional procedure and systematics, would the Chief Executive abide by a judicial ruling rendered against him in regards to these matters?
In addressing the issue of church leadership, homeschool activist Kevin Swanson rhetorically inquired in his 7/1/2004 podcast if female bloggers are running the church. Technically, unless the blogger is on the church payroll or holding a formalized position within the ministry, how can she be accused of leading the church? The only way that can occur is if the pastor is negligent somehow in the execution of his ministerial duties in terms of either being too lenient or in a growing number of instances perhaps even too strident. As someone in the congregation as either a member or frequent attender, anyone (either male or female) can use the technology available to them to speak out as to what is transpiring in the public ceremonies, liturgy, or doctrinal teaching taking place within the assembly. To say otherwise is to introduce a procedural gnosticism leading to the festering of a cultic atmosphere potentially leading to the harm of both soul and body. And if you are going to be that secretive, don’t go complaining about how the Mormons and the Masons run things so secretively.

In an appearance at Socrates In The City, Fox News personality Bob Beckel denounced the lack of opportunity in America’s cities because of corporations that head south where, in his words, Rednecks decide to work for $4.00 per hour. Would he rather these Rednecks become more like their ablebodied shiftless urban counterparts that surrender completely to lives of government dependence during what ought to be their productive years?
In an interview at Socrates In The City, pundit Bob Beckel snidely quipped that Newt Gingrich is likely the only person to have never had an unspoken thought. But at least those that the former Speaker of The House verbalizes on national television are usually coherent. That is more than can be said of those regularly spewing forth from Beckel.

In analyzing the gluten-free fad, homeschool activist Kevin Swanson poked fun at those that cut out gluten without even understanding what gluten is or conducting extensive research tests to determine whether or not they might have a biological sensitivity to the substance. Does he intend to make similar observations of what goes on in assorted churches across the varying swaths of Christendom? Don’t just as many sitting out in the pews simply go along with a particular theological application because they have been told to do so by someone in the pulpit without coming to these conclusions on their own through their individual process of ratiocination? In a podcast just the other day, this same minister attempted to work listeners into a panic not to let their children go to the library over a pro-homosexual book that might be on the shelves even though a good library offers works on a wide array of topics from a variety of perspectives. Wouldn’t the wiser, more responsible counsel have simply been to urge parents to exercise caution and discernment rather than to impose a blanket prohibition for those that want to be considered upstanding homeschool families?
Hillary Clinton remarked that, as laboratories of democracy, states should be able to decide the legalization of recreational drugs on their own. Does she intend to make a similar policy pronouncement regarding gay marriage and decry the federal judicial intervention jamming this unnatural cohabitational arrangement down the throats of jurisdictions not wanting to approve it?
On an episode of Issues Etc defending marriage, it was said that there is nothing wrong in getting married and not going to college or getting a big important job beforehand. Shouldn’t it have also been emphasized that, if that is the path you decide to take, be prepared to paddle it yourself and not expect everyone else to float your boat financially. Not my kids, not my financial duty no matter how allegedly large my apparently invisible pile of single person money.
In reaction to the President’s continued admission that under his regime that utility rates would necessarily skyrocket, a liberal pundit on Fox News declared to Neil Cavuto that Americans do not have a right to inexpensive electricity. Maybe not. Then why do they supposedly have a right to FREE contraceptives and same sex couples the benefits of marriage? In a technological world, access to power is a more basic need than those other luxuries.
