I guess someone had to say it. But it wasn’t those dastardly Evangelicals. It was CNN and a liberal who runs an anti-Christian Web site.

His Web site, beliefnet.com, promotes just about any religious belief you can find out there along with a bunch of stuff that doesn’t even qualify as a religion. The site even pretends to include Christianity, but in fact they only include the lamest versions of it, alternatives to it or plain old trash-talk about it.

When you contrast this to the media’s portrayal of Obama, they were the ones who started this issue. I think this blast against “Evangelicals” is just the next step in the progression as they advance their agenda of getting the Democrat nominee elected to office.

While the Obamessiah-Antichrist kerfuffle doesn’t even begin to support the idea that Barack Obama is the antichrist, it does illustrate that the world is once again ripe for just such a scam.

I just want to take a moment in grateful remembrance of those who have fallen in defense of our country and our freedom. For those who have loved ones who have made the ultimate sacrifice to keep all of us free and safe I hope you know that most Americans share the gratitude and the sorrow for your loss.

They will not be forgotten.

As a Christian minister I am keenly aware that those who have fought and are fighting to defend us are protecting each individual’s freedom to worship as each believes to be right. The freedom that I consider so vital is protected by those who have defended our country in the past and especially by those who are fighting in the War on Terrorism and it’s front lines in Afghanistan and Iraq..

Like enemies of the past our current enemies seek world domination. But what’s unique about these is that they do so in the name of their religion. Their religion seeks to subjugate or destroy all other faiths. I don’t know of a time in our nation’s history when freedom of religion was at greater risk.

While the freedom of religion is especially important to me, I am also grateful for all of the other freedoms that I enjoy.

I’ve been trying to find the right time to approach this issue on 5views.com. With the changes that I’ve mentioned are coming, I think it’s best if I take the time to spell out where I stand on the issue. Generally speaking, as a white, male, conservative Christian minister I am considered an enemy by the more extreme elements of the Domestic Violence (DV) industry. People like me are usually misrepresented to a point that comparisons to Hitler are not uncommon. So it’s important that I speak for myself rather than let others define what I believe about the subject.

If you’ve noticed the ad on the site and wondered, the answer is yes, I am the author. It’s a book that I wrote back in the 90’s, self-published as an e-book in 2004 and took to print in 2007 (also self-published). This post is to give some background on the subject and a little bit on why I got involved with the subject.

The main reason that I got involved in the issue is that I am a Christian minister and I feel that this is part of my calling. But like any human being on the face of the Earth, I have been exposed to abuses, either directly or indirectly. That, too, contributed to my interest in the subject. However, I will say that my approach is ‘unorthodox’ when compared to the mainstream of the Domestic Violence Industry. And that’s a good thing.

An old school building that was purchased by a local church a few months ago is back on the market. I’m still piecing it together, but there seems to be a lot of misinformation about it in the public eye.

A blog post on Exit133.com (Rogers Elementary Back on the Market) and the comments that followed gave the impression that a church made a low-ball offer so they could flip the property. If it were true I probably would have applauded the church for their creative effort to bring in some income while helping the community. But that doesn’t seem to be the case. What they were trying to do was to move their church. Hardly the heinous things they’re being accused of doing.

There was enough in that blog post and a linked article to indicate to me that the issue was not the way it was portrayed. So I did the unthinkable. I called the church. Yes, that’s right. Instead of giving in to the usual hysteria about how Christians are trying to take over the world and control everyone and their uterus (if they have one), I decided to get the facts. It turns out that the church was neither trying to flip the property, nor where they opening a homeless shelter.
