Messiah Ted Cruz Complains President Obama Has a Messiah Complex. This is funny: Ted Cruz, who has been proclaimed messiah by his father, says that “for seven years, we’ve had a president in the White House who has had a messiah complex.”
What makes it more funny is that Cruz went on to David Brody Monday about what a messiah he is, that he is going to “bring this country back” and create “a spirit of revival” that’s “sweeping this country.” Wow. Kenneth Copeland: I Need A Private Plane To Do The Lord's Work. You can pretty much take it to the bank that when televangelist Kenneth Copeland opens his mouth, idiocy is going to come out.
But even by his standards, what he said on Tuesday’s edition of “The Believer’s Voice of Victory” was way, way out there. The grand poohbah of “name it and claim it” says that he needs a private plane to get to his meetings around the world. Why? Wait for it–it’s the only way he can properly fulfill the calling on his life. Radicalized Muslims? It's Time to Speak of the Radicalization of Christians. They say you can take the measure of a man by who his enemies are.
It is at least as accurate to say you can judge them by their supporters. And Trump’s supporters represent an embarrassment of riches of America’s misinformed and ignorant. For Republicans it’s “us vs. them” but it’s a lot more complex than that. Planned Parenthood Killer Believes He Can Do What He Wants, Even Murder, As Jesus Already Saved Him.

White Christians are dwindling in number, and a new poll finds that they no longer represent the majority of the country—a historic change in the demographic make-up of America. As the National Journal reports, a new Pew Research Center survey indicates that white Christians are now just 44 percent of the U.S. population.

Ask a Russian arms dealer if the world would be better off without Kalashnikovs, and what do you think he would say?
Ask a heroin addict if the war on drugs should be intensified, and how do you believe he would respond? And query Republican 2016 contender and die-hard Seventh-Day Adventist Ben Carson if the doctrine about Jesus’ imminent return to Earth originated by his sect’s crackpot founder in the 1840s should be revered any less after having been proved entirely bogus, and what would he answer? No, no and no, of course. Self-interest, addiction and delusions are perennially powerful factors in motivating human behavior, with victims of religion managing to both sustain the most damage from all three banes and repeatedly inflict grief on the rest of us.
8 Bible Verses That Prove Conservatives Abandon God When They Want To. Republicans often take pride in rubbing their Christianity right in your face.
They have recently been the loudest voices against allowing the Syrian refugees fleeing from ISIS into the United States. This is not surprising because in the last few years the Republican Party has become increasingly xenophobic. The problem is that they use the Bible as their guide to governing, which makes many wonder if the Bible actually agrees with their crazy.
If you are in that group, grab the nearest conservative and read the following verses that prove they’re just following their religion when it’s convenient. 1. Hateful Pastor Calls Protesters Outside His NY Church 'N*gger F*ggots' Image Via Screenshot The pastor of a church in New York City thought it would be a good idea to hurl racist and homophobic slurs at protesters who showed up outside his church on Monday.

This week has seen the re-ignition of conflict between the Christian Right and the growing secular movement in the United States. Marco Rubio, in an interview with CBN, warned of Christianity becoming “hate speech” in the future, employing the same rhetoric as many before him. Sean Hannity commented on it by verbally beating the crap out of an atheist with a panel of fundamentalist Christians, employing the same rhetoric.
While newsworthy, this is, in essence, the same story that has been painfully covered over and over again for years. New Report Proves Jesus Never Existed - Christian Fundamentalist Heads Explode. Jesus never existed. Or at least so says a controversial new report by biblical scholar Michael Paulkovich.
