A Savior For The World

In the 2006 film Superman Returns, Superman comes back to Earth after a 5-year trip to the remains of his home planet, Krypton. On his arrival he discovers that the world has largely forgotten him, so much in fact that his former girlfriend, Lois Lane, won a Pulitzer Prize for an article entitled "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman." When he gets a chance to see Lois he asks her to come with him for a quick flight. He takes her up above the city and as they gaze down on the bright lights he asks her, "What do you hear?" (Just in case you don't know much about Superman, he has supersonic ears that can hear everything), Lois responds, "Nothing." He looks at her and says, "I hear everything. You wrote that the world doesn't need a savior but everyday I hear people crying for one." I always thought that line was quite deep and especially these last few days as I read the news headlines. Here are several from today: Deadly Earthquake Rocks Chile Roadside Bombs Kill Seven In Afghan Attacks Nine Killed In Weekend Violence in Philly Tornado Levels House In Texas Panhandle Suicide Bombings Around Iraq Kill 46

If ever the world needed a savior it's now. Unfortunately, we don't have a Superman to come swooping in and save us. But as a Christian I believe we have a Super God and He can save us from ourselves. But for Him to save us we need to cry out to Him. The world by and large has rejected God absolutely, its time we who haven't got up off of our butts and did something about it.

But we can't just explain to them that God can save them, we need to explain to them why they need God. The culture is saturated with violence and sex, but God is not allowed, which means this culture has no clue about who God is and what He can do for them. It's time for a change, and this means now!

The biggest story of this past week was of course the shooting at Va. Tech, "Why did it happen? people asked, are asking and will ask. The answer is because once God is taken out of the public mind human life is considered worthless, we abort babies everyday without thinking twice about it, euthanasia is everywhere, but we pretend that school shootings are more wrong than abortions. Who made the rules of right and wrong? God.

So if you don't believe in Him then there is no right and wrong, that means you can't call what happened at Va. Tech wrong, but everyone says it was and it is (I agree). But if there's a right and wrong then there is a right and wrong rule giver and He says that killing any human is wrong, whether that life is a college student or professor, an elderly person or a little defenseless baby.
Its time for the world to rethink its position, not on guns or nuclear weapons but on God. And the Christians need to help make it happen.

Ban guns? Are you out of your mind?

With the latest school shooting incident having ocurred on Monday, liberals are once again harping about gun control. Apparently liberals believe that gun control laws would stop this violence that has become all too common place in this country. This would have the exact opposite effect actually, gun crimes would escalate as gun laws became stricter. Why? For a very simple reason.
Criminals would feel free to attack more often if there wasn't a chance that the person they attacked wouldn't whip out a gun and shoot back. The thing about criminals is they don't mind breaking the law, I sincerely doubt the Va. Tech shooter was concerned about breaking any laws. What could have stopped the madman from his rampage? A bullet. If a Va. Tech student or faculty member had had a gun on his/her person the killer wouldn't have made it very far.
The fact that any student or faculty member might possibly have a gun might even have stopped this killer from attempting anything and the 32 victims might still be alive and well.
As Brad Stine (a Christian comedian) says if banning guns works so well, "Why stop there, I know, let's ban crime." Ridiculous isn't it folks? But so is this nonsense about gun control making our country safer.

"The Big Bad Rove"

How much do Democrats hate Karl Rove?

Sorry, I can't answer that question, there are no words in the English language that describe their level of hatred towards Karl Rove. Now they are going as far as to say that Rove has been purposefully deleting emails because of incriminating content about his role in the firing of eight U.S. Attorneys (unless you live in a hole in the ground I'm sure you've heard about this).

The Democrats are furious that they couldn't get him on the Valerie Plame charge and are scrambling to oust him (or at least make him resign). Eventually everything comes back to Karl Rove, if you listen to the Democrats for too long you might end up thinking the man is Satan himself (maybe that's who Muslims refer to when they say "The Great Satan." It's not America, it's one man in particular). Rove even masterminded Hurricane Katrina, he was down there smashing levees, etc. just to make sure the poor people drown.

Personally I don't think Rove deserves all that credit. Bush called him "the architect" after the 2004 election, but if he had been doing his job right it would have been a landslide, instead of just a victory, come election night there would have been no doubts. I don't think that Rove is as clever as everyone makes him out to be, however, if it keeps the Democrats happy so be it.

Returning to the email thing, I found it amusing that Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) said, "Those e-mails are there, they just don't want to produce them." Well, Mr. Leahy since you are omniscient (all knowing for those of you in Rio Linda-haha) maybe you could tell us where they are? It would save the RNC and the White House a lot of trouble.
