Lesbian Minstrel Threatens To Brainwash Church Youth Into Accepting Gay Marriage
In response to Ann Coulter’s observations regarding the narcissistic martyr complex often exhibited my missionaries, a Facebook theologian quipped that Albert Mohler is more doctrinally sound than Ann Coulter. Perhaps comprehensively, but not in regards to this issue. What Coulter has enunciated here is merely a different interpretation. It can no more condemned than Paul wanting to head in one direction to evangelize and Barnabas wanting to go in another. Coulter’s missiological strategy enjoys a sounder Biblical foundation and relies less on mere human opinion than Mohler’s insistence that the unmarried over the age of 22 in a congregation are little better than street whores that should be pressured into marriage by the COMMUNITY whether they want to be one not irrespective of whether or not they have kept themselves out of each others pants.
A Facebook meme for the verse about putting away childish things pictures a man tossing teddy bears into the garbage. So is their an approved list of hobbies or things that a man is allowed to collect. And shouldn’t it be one of the most childish things that can be thought of as to allow the COMMUNITY to dictate what items that do not violate Scripture that an adult is allowed to collect?

Biomedical Developments Require Advanced Ethical Reflection
As an illustration, consider the following. A young mother with two small children has an accident one morning that does not kill her but leaves her in a coma. She is taken to the trauma center where she is placed on life support. Her husband informs the medical staff that his wife stated that she desired no treatment should she ever find herself in such a condition. Since her temperature is rising significantly, her physician believes she should be treated for an infection. Her husband does not approve.
To decide whose wishes should prevail (either her husband’s or the doctor’s), any bioethics committee called in to make a determination would first have to consider a number of factors. For starters, a bioethics committee would need to distinguish between extraordinary and ordinary means of treatment.
According to Rae, ordinary means are those courses of treatment for a disease that offer a reasonable hope of benefit to the patient without being excessively burdensome; extraordinary means are those that do not offer such hope and place undue burdens on the patient (185). In other words, extraordinary means would include things such as respirators that temporarily extend a life that would come to an end without the intervention of such a device. Ordinary means would consist of those things that ordinarily sustain or improve the normal processes of life such as food and water. Antibiotics could be considered an ordinary means of treatment since these substances are administered to curb an infection threatening life and health rather than prolonging life that is beginning to fade away.
Second, the bioethics committee should look into the quality of the of relationship between husband and wife. While such a suggestion might seem nosy, in light of certain disturbing aspects of the Terri Schiavo case, it would be helpful to know whether the spouse is sincerely seeking to fulfill the wishes of their mate in these grim matters or merely looking for an easy way out to make their way on to their next victim, I mean partner.
This case is not that difficult for objective observers with a traditional Judeo-Christian worldview. Administering antibiotics to fight off the infection in order to bide more time to ascertain more fully God’s future plans for this woman would be a moral obligation.
More extensive life support measures would be a decision best left to the family. The most difficult task might be educating the husband as to the distinctions between ordinary and extraordinary means. Though some might consider it presumptuous to speak on someone else’s behalf, at the time his wife made the statement about not wanting treatment if she ever found herself in such a situation, she was probably not referring to treatments such as food, water, and regular medicines but rather to things more like breathing tubes and respirators. For example, one could argue that, if the “no treatment” criteria was to be upheld as an inviolable absolute, the administration of painkillers would have to be withheld as well since these are also a form of treatment.
Furthermore, the medical professional must make it clear that it is not over until it’s over. The antibiotics do not interfere with the chain of events set into motion by the accident, the outcome of which no mortal can know for certain. Rather, these substances prevent an otherwise preventable or treatable secondary matter from overtaking the body and weakening it further. By administering the antibiotics, the family can better prepare themselves for the ultimate will of God in the life of their loved one, which could consist of any number of possible outcomes such as death, healing, or life-long disability.
Even though a number of these states may be far from what we would consider ideal and we might even question them sometimes as mere human beings, it is not our place to be the direct cause of the conclusion of the process known as life. It is rather the duty of the family and authorized caregivers to make the loved one as comfortable as possible and this is most likely what a person means when they say they do not want to be subject to all kinds of extraordinary treatments.

Bill Gates Insists Common Dregs Of Humanity Not Worthy Of The Second Amendment
Is his own security detail unarmed? Click On The Headline
Mental health functionaries are questioning the propriety of releasing the details of the suicide of Robin Williams. It is claimed such specifics could push those tottering on the abyss into taking the leap into oblivion. But if there is no God or morality binding upon all irrespective of circumstances, what does it matter if someone decides to take their own life or not? Almost just as important, if we are to conceal these specifics because of the few that might attempt this, why is little done to curtail the romping of sack to sack on prime time TV? Still others insist that the intricacies of human reproduction and the physiology of pleasure should be introduced to students from the first day of kindergarten. Yet only a small handful actively seek to end their own lives. Nearly anybody under the right stimuli can be lead towards carnal temptations.
Ibrahim Hooper of the Counsel on American Islamic Relations wants the vandalism of a Northern Virginia mosque investigated as a hate crime. Wonder if he has released a statement condemning atrocities committed by his fellow coreligionists such as the beheading of toddlers, the molestation of underage brides, and the burying alive of religious dissidents. Or are we to conclude that his group of jihadist sympathizers view these as acts of spiritual charity and compassion?
Rush Limbaugh is correct in part about the suicide of Robin Williams being contributed to in part by the leftist mindset. However, it might have been more accurate to formulate the tragedy as the outcome of the materialistic mindset of which leftism is that worldview’s primary socio-political manifestation. For if this world is all that there is and there is no assurance of an Afterlife to take comfort in or aspire to which could result in an eternity worse than the misery we experience here if we do not throw ourselves on the mercy of Jesus Christ, why should we resist the temptation to end it all when the burdens of this life seem unbearable without any chance of improvement.
Fox News’s Shephard Smith is being criticized for referring to Robin Williams as a coward for taking his own life. While it is commendable that light is being shed exposing the despair of depression, it should be remembered exactly who Williams is and what exactly it is that he has done. It’s not like this is the 1800’s and Williams has broken down into fits of uncontrollable crying that he can’t explain nor has he just birthed a baby. It’s not like he was unaccustomed to seeking professional help. How many other acts ought to be excused and praise lavished upon the individual because they feel irresistible impulses within their minds prompting them to behaviors outside the social norm. Applying the example of Robin Williams, instead of financially destroying Paula Deen for confessing to the utterance of a questionable word in the privacy of her own home where not a single human life was lost, shouldn’t she be honored and celebrated like never before? And what about child and wife beaters? Not comparable liberal elites will snap. But hasn’t Williams abused his family in about the worst way imaginable?
Rush Limbaugh is partially correct. Though it is not the place of government to determine the limits or to do anything about the dilemma, part of the despair that drove Robin Williams to suicide was no doubt that which besieges those that have too much or, having acquired nearly every earthly desire imaginable, have little else left to achieve. Media accounts indicate Williams was in part troubled that his career was declining onto the small screen of television rather than the more intense notoriety of successive box office blockbusters. But that said, given his own history of abusing addictive painkillers, shouldn’t Limbaugh be one of the last to criticize those with dispositions prone towards melancholy or depression?

If Michelle Obama can rearrange our lives because she thinks we are fat, then why can’t psychiatrist Keith Ablow suggest that the First Lady is fat? In response, meteorologist Janice Dean snapped as to the impropriety of a man telling a woman to drop a few pounds. If mouthy broads don’t want comments made, they should keep their mouths shut regarding those areas in which they don’t want to hear criticism.

Brookings Institute Invokes Transhumanism In Attempt To Destroy The Constitution
I guess the Christian exuding all of the politically correct platitudes one is expected to enunciate if one is to be embraced as an acceptably docile member of the COMMUNITY will lavish praise upon the Trayvonite insurgents in St. Louis for liberating the people’s goods blockaded by the capitalists.
Regarding misisonaries. Ann Coulter did not verbalize anything the average God-loving pewfiller hasn’t thought as missionaries on deputation denigrate America attempting to guilt-trip you into filling the collection plate so they can return to the heathen lands where they will proceed to pump out another half-dozen kids.
CNN propagandist Don Lemon assures that he understands the St. Louis riots even if he does not agree with such actions. Did he extend such dismissive sympathy to Paula Deen when, in proper Maoist self-denunciation, she confessed to verbalizing a questionable word in the PRIVACY OF HER OWN HOME to her husband after a gun was held to her head? Not a single business was pillaged by Paula Deen. Would Lemon express such solidarity with this ghetto rabble if had been the CNN studio torn to Sheol?
A Facebook theologian posted “We need to return to the era where men and women were very easily distinguishable by dress and appearance.” Such a sentiment sounds reasonable in an era with exposed knockers jiggling about so much that they could easily poke someone’s eye out. However, just as often the platitude is invoked in many a fundamentalist sermon as justification why women can’t wear pants and in some circles why they shouldn’t be allowed to cut their hair. Women should probably also be forced to wear a corset to the point of catatonia for good measure. To those invoking such rhetoric, who gets to determine what just isn’t sufficiently moral but adequately feminine, just other men?

Does Christian Compassion Demand Uncritical Exposure To Ebola?
For the most part, the minister condemned those such as Donald Trump as well as a number of Christians that questioned the wisdom of bringing into the United States a number of missionaries that have contracted the pestilence but not yet succumbed to the ravages.
According to the Pastor, politeness and compassion are more paramount than health and survival.
It probably won't be long if one does not want to be excommunicated that the sincere believer will be expected to sip from the same communion chalice as the souls with this particular affliction.
Those such as Rev. Kellett justify their position with appeals to passages admonishing mercy for the suffering and the examples set by these missionaries that fell ill as a result of their ministerial outreach to the less fortunate.
But what about verses and teaching that counsel the protection of one's own family as one's highest earthly priority?
Human empathy and spiritual sensitivity prompt the believer to hope and pray that these servants of God make a full recovery.
However, these missionaries made their own respective choice about subjecting themselves to these dangers.
That choice is not one being extended to the average American, whom this pastor is telling those that do not agree with flinging the doors wide open to the most horrifying of diseases, to sit down and shut up.
These average Americans (not the elites implementing these transformational policies who will be whisked away to lavish underground resorts in a time of crisis) who will be gunned down in the streets by FEMA purification squads or forced to languish in hemorrhagic agony in quarantine death camps.
For decades, the average Christian has sat quietly in the pews enduring many an outlandish claim and denunciations of the American way of life by these missionaries that expect the harangued to bankroll their pietistic wanderlust.
We should at the very least be granted the courtesy of being allowed to voice our concerns when these adventures abroad result in the most vile forms of Third World death being brought to the hallowed shores.

To mollify terrorist sympathizers, the treasurer of the Virginia Republican Party was driven from office for simply questioning online President Obama's insistence that Muslims were the ones that built the fabric of American society. A spokesman for one jihadist front group remarked how profoundly offended his coreligionists across the country were at the comment. Is such outrage directed by Muslims at adult Muslim insurgents seizing girls as young as seven to be defiled as child brides or the murder on the streets of those failing Koranic trivia? It is fascinating that Obama would rhetorically celebrate Islam's alleged contributions to America yet go out of his way to insist on foreign soil that America is not a Christian nation. If elected officials cave so easily to the demands of these savages at this point, on what grounds ought we to believe that our government will protect the American people when these heathens commence their homicidal uprising?
