America Exists Because of the Bible

1.8 billion people around the world revere the Bible as the word of God. Despite centuries of non-believers who have attempted to find fault with its teachings--casting doubt and suspicion on Christianity overall--the Bible has remained the best selling book of all time.

Yet most academics dismiss the importance of the Bible in the foundation of modern moral and philosophical thought. According to author Robert J. Hutchinson, critics are distracted by alleged historical inaccuracies, scientific contradictions, or supposed textual variants--and they miss the larger significance. In his new book, The Politically Incorrect Guide(TM) to the Bible, Hutchinson explains the mistake that so many atheists and academics make in ignoring the Bible's unique ideas about science, law, and universal human rights, ideas that permeate our culture.

In this latest installment of the New York Times bestselling series, The Politically Incorrect Guide(TM) to the Bible refutes critics' attempts to diminish the holy book's historical and philosophical significance. Hutchinson uses evidence straight from biblical passages to show how its themes and ideas are essential to our daily lives.

"The ideas contained in the Bible led to many of the things we cherish most in Western civilization, including the recognition of human rights, freedom of religion, limited government, even science," reveals Hutchinson. The Politically Incorrect Guide(TM) to the Bible busts the myths promoted throughout history by atheists and liberals.

MYTH #1: The Bible stifles scientific progress

Biblical religion was not the enemy of science, but rather the intellectual matrix that made science possible in the first place. Without the key insights celebrated in the Bible, which spread throughout Europe, science would have never developed.

MYTH #2: Religion is a threat to liberal democracy and political freedom

Secular intellectuals take full credit for the concept of limited government, while in fact the origins of liberty and a belief in limited government lie in the values and ideas found in the Bible.

MYTH #3: Modern morality does not come from the Bible

Atheists like Richard Dawkins are largely ignorant of the influence of biblical law on the development of both Western morality generally and the law specifically. Biblical commandments contain concepts of justice, mercy, concern for the poor, and equality before the law that were unprecedented in their time.

MYTH #4: Slavery was virtually mandated in the Bible

Slavery was first officially banned in Christian Europe, and almost all abolitionists who actually risked life and limb to end slavery were devout Christians.

Why are people gay?

If homosexuality is a sin (i.e. an intentional, moral deviation from God's ways), why do people become gay? Many "gay" people claim that they did not choose to become gay. However, there are plenty that do acknowledge that they did choose to be gay.


There are several reasons:
Confusion. This is the fastest growing reason for becoming gay, due mostly to societal influence and the homosexual agenda. The truth us, EVERYONE has homosexual thoughts, however, NOBODY is born thinking these thoughts. Indeed, most of us experience it pretty early in life. Now, there may be just as few "straight" people who will admit that they've had homosexual thoughts before as there are "gay" people who admit that they chose to be gay. However, it is what it is. You can either conclude that because of this, ALL people are born gay. Or you can conclude that NOBODY is born gay. Either way, the confusion factor comes into play when young people have these thoughts and immediately tell themselves: "Gasp! I'm gay!" and begin to affirm that as their identity.

Most people, when they think of perverted things, such as having sex with a family member, or having sex with an animal, or having sex with a small child, these thoughts are repulsive, vile and disgusting. Yet, for some reason, in a few people these thoughts are not rejected, they are focused upon and meditated upon, becoming an obsession until the thoughts are manifested out in the form of behavior.

The same thing occurs with the perversion of homosexuality. For most people, they have been instructed by their parents that all sexual sin, including homosexual sin, is immoral, and therefor should be avoided altogether. Thus, when these homosexual thoughts come, they are quickly rejected. However, that is occurring less and less these days, because people, not having a solid foundation with their parents (specifically their fathers, and especially their Heavenly Father), are simultaneously being taught that "It's natural, it's OK..." and so instead of rejecting these perversions, they embrace them. For many, their decision to bond their homosexual thoughts to their identity is then (often times) rewarded (via extra attention they'll receive when they "come out") and thus, psychologically, they have "learned" that being "gay" is good, it works for them.

Abuse. I believe that the number one reason for homosexuality stems from sexual abuse. In boys, if they are abused as children, (as many, many studies have shown) they are likely to abuse others in the same way. This patten of perverted dysfunction bleeds out into other areas of life such as intimate relationships. Many people don't have a positive model for successful relationships, and therefore only KNOW HOW to relate to others in a dysfunctional manner.

Addiction. As far as I know, this is a less researched reason, but I mention it more so because of my personal experience. Every "gay" person I've ever known has been addicted to both drugs and alcohol. I believe this is the catalyst that numbs their inhibitions to the point where they can ignore their consciences' and reasonings. The decision to transition from 'homosexual thoughts' into 'homosexual behavior' causes tremendous inner turmoil. By numbing the senses with drugs and alcohol, the perversions are often manifested and, sobriety becomes a bitter, painful experience.

Is there a cure for gayness?
Yes, a very simple one. Keep your pants on.

Is homosexuality a sin?

God has already answered that question Himself:

Leviticus 18:22

"Do not practice homosexuality; it is a detestable sin.

Leviticus 20:13
"The penalty for homosexual acts is death to both parties. They have committed a detestable act and are guilty of a capital offense.

Romans 1:26-27
"That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved.

1 Corinthians 6:9
"Don't you know that those who do wrong will have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, who are idol worshipers, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals,

1 Timothy 1:5 - 10
"The purpose of my instruction is that all the Christians there would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and sincere faith. But some teachers have missed this whole point. They have turned away from these things and spend their time arguing and talking foolishness. They want to be known as teachers of the law of Moses, but they don't know what they are talking about, even though they seem so confident. We know these laws are good when they are used as God intended. But they were not made for people who do what is right. They are for people who are disobedient and rebellious, who are ungodly and sinful, who consider nothing sacred and defile what is holy, who murder their father or mother or other people. These laws are for people who are sexually immoral, for homosexuals and slave traders, for liars and oath breakers, and for those who do anything else that contradicts the right teaching that comes from the glorious Good News entrusted to me by our blessed God.


So yes, homosexuality, according to God and the Word that He has given to all of us, is clearly a sexual sin.
Read more about sexual sin...





So why all the confusion?

Matthew 15:9
`BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.' "

Mark 7:7
'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far away. Their worship is a farce, for they replace God's commands with their own man-made teachings.'

1 Timothy 4:1
"Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from what we believe; they will follow lying spirits and teachings that come from demons.


Ephesians 4:17
"With the Lord's authority let me say this: Live no longer as the ungodly do, for they are hopelessly confused."

The Church has made this world better

Wherever the Gospel is preached, it is a certain, verifiable fact that the society is improved: economically, morally, relationally, academically, socially, and of course, spiritually.

I am always perplexed when pseudo intellectuals start spouting their doctrine about "all the damage the Church has done to the world"... They cite the Crusade wars, oppression, etc. as they point their fingers at the Church. But if you were actually going to study reality, you would see that, while the Church is certainly not innocent, the Church has done a remarkable service to this world. God has used His people to BE A BLESSING, and that's just something you can't take away.

Look at these lyrics from the band "Newsboys" in the song "Wherever we go":
Wherever we go, the dumb get wise
And the crime rates drop and the markets rise
It’s a curious thing
But it’s just our thing

Bullies make nice, crooks repent
And the ozone layer shows improvement
It’s a curious thing
And it’s humbling

Wherever we’re led
All the Living Dead
Wanna leave their Zombie Minds
It’s a touching scene when they all come clean
God help us, we just love our job

Hands up
Holler back here
Let’s throw this party in gear
We brought the welcome mat
Wherever we go, that’s where the party’s at

Hands up
Holler back now
We don’t claim any know-how
We’re giving God all that
Wherever we go, that’s where the party’s at


That's just a partial listing of the lyrics. The song is amazing and I'm so thankful that the light of God's truth shines through the darkness of lies in this song.

Random

There is no such thing as a random number.

Now, I've opened many a discussion with that statement with physicists and mathematicians, but they don't seem convinced. We just can't comprehend the non-pattern. There are surely more advanced beings in the universe that can understand random numbers, imaginary numbers and irrational numbers.

But still...there is no such thing as a random number.

Everlasting

My light burns out.
The stars will die eventually.
Even the Vast Universe will collapse and fade away.

But you God, are Everlasting.
And can anyone take that away from you?

Time

Time is relative. Time is a variable. Time is accelerating exponentially. Time is a substance. Time can be controlled. Time had a beginning. Time has an end. Time is measured by revolutions around our sun. ...
"Time is the currency of life." - Nathan Solla

Extraordinary

When you think about our universe...

How it's built, and how it works.

The sheer physics involved that allow it to be possible.

The fact that it is so perfectly balanced to the point that it strives to maintain equilibrium,

yet if ONE small detail were different, changed somehow... THE ENTIRE CONTRAPTION known as the universe would not work. It would fail miserably.


Then I look at it. With these soft, squishy things in my head that capture light, I see what this universe appears like in color.

Certainly, the vastness of it all could have turned out quite ugly, as long as it all worked right?

But it is not ugly.


It is more beautiful than words can begin to describe. The more we discover, the more beauty we find.

All of it. The Mathematical Artistry.

And...
I think that is extraordinary.

The Secrets to a Healthy Life

You are what you eat.

Diet. Our society has horribly botched this word. A DIET is everything you eat. Your diet consists of everything you've eaten for the past several years, and the next several years. It doesn't change, it slowly adapts if you change your habits.

Many people incorrectly think that a DIET is a temporary change in what you eat, or how often you eat, in order to lose weight.

It doesn't work though does it?
"What? For some people it works!" You say.

"NO!" "Diets work for Nobody"
But, I've said that to many people before and they don't get it, so I doubt you people will either.


So... DO YOU WANT TO HEAR THE SECRET DIET?

What would you say if I told you I could tell you exactly how to lose weight, and look great, feel better, more confident, sexier? You will have better performance in athletics and sexual activities. You will even be smarter because you are delivering more precious oxygen to your brain.

Just send $29.99 to this address! NO!
I will tell you for FREE! Even though this violates the standards of capitalism, you should know the truth.



Step # 1. Drink lots of water. You are what you Eat (and drink). Water is the source of all life.
Eliminate pop, gatorade, beer, etc. Drink mostly, only water. Your body is composed of 70% water. We are liquid beings and we need to keep hydrated. Gatorade's marketing ploys have fooled a lot of people. 33% more carbs? That means it has 33% more sugar because glucose is a simple carbohydrate! Drink water...3-4 liters a day. You will feel better in one week if you cut out that crap like pop. pop is horrible for you it adds fat cells.

Step # 2. EXERCISE!

You could ignore every other step if you would just get enough exercise. You could eat whatever you wanted if you used it all up. The reason we eat is because that's how our body get's the fuel it needs to function. If your body doesn't burn it, it stores it.

Weight Training is crucial, well, it is the best way to transform your body into supermodel shape. When you lift weights, your body builds muscle tissue. When you have a lot of muscle, your body needs to burn more calories just to keep that extra mass functioning. Even when you are sitting idle your body burns more calories. You don't need to join a gym or spend a lot of money. Lift milk jugs full of water, or buckets of concrete...be creative.

Just make sure you use proper lifting form. Check out a library book to tell you how to properly exercise the various muscle groups. This way you will avoid injury.

The key is... get 48 hours of rest in between working out the same muscle group. Divide your body in half and work out each half per work out. A & B.

A = [Chest, triceps, Quads, Hams, Gluts]
B = [Lats, Shoulders, Biceps, Calves, Abs]

M- A
T- B
W- X
Th- A
F- B
Sa- X
Su- Cheating day.

The X days above are for a different kind of work out. Cardiovascular. This is running, basketball, raquetball, biking, swimming, or aerobics or stairs or rowing. This helps melt the fat away from your body, and increases your endurance and stamina. It may be difficult when you first start, but it will get easier and easier (and fun too!)

You'll be amazed at how much more energy you have... and a cool part is...when your gluteous maximus sheds all that extra fat, it wont have anything for a soft cusion, meaning, you won't want to sit on your ass all day anymore. You'll get out there and experience life.

The seventh day...Cheat... don't exercise if you don't want to. Only if you



Step # 3. Eat more. (Do it right)
Eat more protien and fewer carbs.
Drink Protien shakes, I recommend "100% whey protien" by Optimum Nutrition. It is the best quality for the lowest price. Make sure it doesn't contain fillers like maltodextrin.
Protien is the building block of bones, muscles, skin, life. You need lot's of it. Your body is also less likely to store protien as fat, compared to carbs.
[Beware of "protien only" diets like Atkins, etc. Your body needs more than just protien.]
Eat more fruit and less junk food.
Eat more vegetables and less fat.
Eat more baked and less fried.
Eat more chicken and less bacon.
Eat more yogurt and less cheese
Eat more Tabasco and less Crisco
Eat more lean Steak and less hamburger.

Step # 4. Cheat.

IF you suddenly stop eating, your body goes into famine mode, thinking that food may be scarce, so that everything you eat will be stored as fat. So on your day of rest, do not starve yourself, eat whatever you want. If you have been faithful to your diet for the duration of the week, have a pizza and mountain_dew on the 7th day. Eat a twinkie and ice cream for breakfast. Cheat your day away so your body knows there is plenty of food to burn away.


Step # 5. Use your imagination.

You can literally "Think yourself Thin."
Close your eyes, relax. Breathe. Imagine you are watching yourself on a movie screen. What do you look like?

Toned, defined. Are your abs sculpted or flat? Is your chest massive, or just well defined? Are you sleek and slender or Buff and bulky? See it.
Watch it.
Imagine exactly what you want to look like, and your subconscious mind will know what to do with the excess fat, and the incoming protien.

Step # 6. Breathe.
Do you know why smokers feel relaxed after a cigarette? IT's not from the nicotine, which is a stimulant, nor from the 400+ toxins in the smoke. It is because they are taking slower, deeper breaths. They are taking a break and breathing.
Now, DONT SMOKE!
But do breathe. This is a crucial step that delivers precious, oxygen filled, red blood cells to our muscles and minds. Take a few deep breaths now to get that blood circulating. Flow. You'll be smarter, faster, better, cooler if you breathe more.


Step # 7. Sleep.

Even God rested after creating the universe. Human's too, need their rest. It is just as important as all of the other steps.

The beauty is this... When you do all of the other six steps (# 5,6 can be done in bed) Then the 7th step will come naturally. Glorious sleep will be automatic. But just in case you are trying to avoid sleep in order to have more time during the day, be warned that it never works out, your body will get the sleep it needs with or without your consent.

You'll feel better tomorrow if you sleep well tonight.


That's it! No special tricks, or gimmics, lotions or creams.

Just good wholesome natural living is all you need. (Except for the protien shakes, but that's just you don't need to eat 24 egg whites and 6 chicken breasts every day)


Who knew it was so easy. IT's NOT A DIET!!!

IT's a way of life. You are Choosing to be healthy and young and active for the rest of your life. This is how to do it.

Brainstorm

The awesome process of plucking ideas from the forests of your imagination.

Thoughts

Thoughts are unfertilized seeds of reality.

You must plant them in your mind, nurture them. Water them with positive feelings. Prune away the sickly branches of doubt, anger and fear. Be patient, and wait for them to grow into reality.

This is how dreams come true. This is how an Idea becomes revolutionary.

This is how an invention becomes a product.

The Atheism Conspiracy

There is a worldwide push to eradicate any and all historical references to the world's Creator. They are called "revisionists" and they have a single agenda: Rewrite History, and this time, leave God out of it.

There are alliances, networks, clubs, groups, and individuals who are working toward this goal day in and day out.

Are you ready for this? The World Wide Web is their breeding ground.

They are everywhere. They are nowhere. They are the typical pot-head, alcoholic, unemployed slob, living on welfare or in their parent's basement. Fat, bad breath. Stained shorts. You may catch a glimpse of them when they open the door for the pizza guy. You may see them at the Bar late at night. Alone. Online, they have brutal alter-egos, ready to lash out at society, blaming everyone ELSE because they are fat and lazy.

In their own minds, they are brilliant debaters who the world should be indebted too. After all, they've logged more hours playing WarCraft III than you've worked in this decade! They know how things need to be run and the world's leaders, who have earned their positions, should get in line and take advice as to how the world should be run. They name themselves "darklord" and "evil1". But in reality, they are insecure, immature and depressed. They are plagued with an entitlement mentality. They are losers.

How do I know all of this? Simple. I used to be just like them. That's how.

That's also how I know about there main competitive advantage: Time. The Atheism Conspiracy is being perpetrated by the ranks of the unemployed or underemployed, and that gives them time to conspire, collaborate, and cook up falsehoods. They can Digg and they can Blog. They can wikify and they can comment. They stick together. They are organized.

Let me tell you this: Organized Religion is the biggest threat to American Freedom in existence today. Atheism is the King Pin of Organized Religion. Satan has been practicing his "If you can't beat them, join them" strategy since the 1st century. When he infiltrated the Roman Catholic church in the 3rd century, he caused the dark ages that lasted over 1000 years.

Atheist or AntiChrist?

As I was looking though the Blogger's Choice Awards' lists of nominees, I came across a post in the "Best Religion Blog" category that caught my eye: Atheists.org/nogodblog

This was interesting to me for two reasons:
  1. Atheism IS a religion. I have been saying it for years. Thankfully, now this truth is starting to catch on. Although I'm the first person I know of to accurately label atheism as a religion, there are probably others who realized it long before I did.
  2. This blog contains nothing about atheism. Every post, every word, is ANTI-CHRISTIAN. I find it very interesting that the very thing they are trying to do, disestablish the Bible's Truth, they are actually supporting because the Bible predicted nearly 2000 years ago that an Antichrist spirit would increase in the world, particularly in the days before Christ's return.
Now, it's one thing to disregard the spiritual aspects of Jesus' message, and deny his claims to be sent from God; and instead, to simply settle for the proven fact that a man named Jesus made it into the history books by spreading his message of love, forgiveness, peace and freedom, while simultaneously healing ailments that our modern day doctors have yet to touch, such as blindness. But to actually come out against such a positive message, aggressively, with malice and hate, can only be attributed to a negative force that goes being rational thought and reason: Antichrist (a spirit which later manifests itself as a world system in a position of global rule).

Have these kids asked themselves this question: If my religion is focused on hating a positive message, can it be a classified as a "good" religion, or must it be "evil"?

Chances are, they have not. At least not seriously. Which is a shame. How can one claim to have an "open" mind when they refuse to even consider alternative viewpoints to their own. This is closed-mindedness at it's fundamental worst.

The blog is interesting to read, however, and often times humorous (ex: a photo of the Pope which uncannily resembles the evil Emperor Palatine from Star Wars. ) I especially found the comments interesting. In one example, a commenter accuses the blog poster of politicizing a tragedy to further his own agenda, a trademark of poor taste. Another poster retorted by calling the commenter a "rationally-challenged fool" and claiming that he didn't understand what he meant. Other posters chimed in with further ridicule.

Weclome to UnBlinded

This blog will serve as my writing outlet to expose truth and enlighten readers whenever I find the threat of darkness and lies. Enjoy.
