God in the lord of the rings

Does anyone have anything to say about the spiritual current in the lotr. There is somewhat of a heated debate over weather those books and movies are evil. I've read the books and own both the books and movies. I do not really feel distanced from God after watching or reading them. Remember the Following points.
1. All witchcraft is evil.
2. Read into the books and movies and see if you can make a connection to the Bible. If you can not maybe you ought to ask God about it via prayer.
3. Tolkien was a Christian, infact he is the human responsible for C.S. Lewis' conversion.

I hope this stuff helps you all. God bless.

Well I will probably not be posting to much on New York. But if anyone happens to be reading this feel free to comment, weather you are liberal of conservative you have a right of free speech and that right will be upheld at this blog, provided you're notusing vulger language and calling poloticians terrible names. Remember I may comment on what you've said with other things decided by me. And you cannot accuse me of slander or anything legally by what I say about your comments.

Enough immorality

I am sick and tired of this nations immoral state. If someone does not get on the ball and do something our country is going to collapse. Maybe if you live in a small town (37,000 or less) like me you do not see much of a problem, but places like Detroit as many as 40% of high school age kids drop out, thats a pretty significant number. Whats causing this? A variety of things.

1. Immorality: If our youth would have some back-wheels(english slang look it up) and say I do not care what the majority is doing I will stand for what I believe then we might see alot less drop outs. Did you notice that when America was primarily Christian she overcame outstanding odds to defeat the most powerful country in the world? (look up the Revolution if you do not believ me). Now we go to war with a third world country and lose thousands. George Washington trusted God and with just 20,000 men was able to defeat Britains 50,000, they also had the largest navy in the world at that time. What if John Jay had ruled like our judges do today? I can not imagine God is going to put up with this immoral, ignorant, foolish, and irreverant nation much longer. 9/11 God did not take His hand of America, He only lifted a finger. How much longer are we going to let our nation decay. So saints willing to take a stand now? I sur am ready to give the devil a butt-whoppin. Seperation of the church and state is never brought up in the constitution

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, OR prohibiting the FREE EXERCISE there of; or abridging the freedom of speech; or the right of the press; or the RIGHT of the PEOPLE PEACEABLY to assemble, and to petition the government fro a redress of grievences"

That is word for word what it says. The way I see it, it says "the government can not stop people from exercising their religion and the government can not make laws to control that religion". It says the government has no say over the church, it does not say "Religion shall have no say in the government, or the governments nonexistant right to oppress the church" So we see the state has no buisness in the church other then protecting it from being oppressed. Religion has whatever stance it wants in the state and the right to make that stance known.

So for any homosexual activist who wants to say the church has no say over you well yeah we do but we can not force to agree with it. If we want to say homosexuality is wrong we can, but you do not have to agree with us, but you can not say we have no right to say that. I firmly believe that we the church should stick with Romans 1:25-28 on this issue. At the same time I will not aviod being friends with homosexuals because as a Christian I am to show Christ's love to them. If you say " I do not want to associate with gays" then you are more than likely not doing what Jesus would ahve done. I give everyone a chance(or try to). As long as a gay does not claim to be Christian I will associate with them. I do not want to associate with posers who say they are Christian and are not. So if you want to blame everything on gays remember "your sin put Christ on that cross". It was just as much my sin and a gays sin and your sin as anyone elses. God bless you all and I will be praying for all the gays tonight.

New York

Well I recently went to New York city. It was fun, our hotel was in Chinatown, big culture shock. I went to the top of the empire state building, the statue of liberty, central park and all those famous places. At the top of the empire state one can look any direction and the city seems to go forever, the metropolitan museum of art is huge. I saw Van Goghs self portrait and alot of cool stuff. It was amazing seeing all these famous places. Going into some of the cathedrals was belitteling to say the least. We performed in the worlds largest cathedral, which was awesom. Seeing lady liberty up close was also humbling, I will post about all the major places seperatly though

Well I've been trying to expand my vocab with some British lingo, and some of the stuff they think is terrible is common language for us and vice/versa. Really though if you do not want to learn a second language and want to be able to talk so some people can not understand you learn some of this lingo.

Where I'm at we've been getting snow. Snow in a southern state in April, can you believe that. I can understand in Maine or other Northern states but not this far south. Hopefully school will be canceled we will see God bless you all.

Florida in trouble.

Do you know that of all the people who rape in Florida 90% have a record of raping? So why sre these judges continually letting these guys of the hook? An piece of advice to voters in Florida, do not keep electing these guys! This is a danger to you your children and grandchildren. Put a judge in there who will do something with the rapists and murderers other then let them go. Start a rehab center heavily guarded of course for these mentally ill people.

Now you get my view of the war in Iraq. I support this war whole-heartedly. British Secret Service, Russian Secret Service, and our own CIA all said they have weapons of mass destruction. Besides that Sen. Kerry saw this and voted for it(before he flipped and voted against it). People all over are saying we should not be in there, well at the begining of the war Iraq fired scud missles. Which they were not supposed to have, if we had of waited until now they may have killed alot more of us. This is not an issue of weather we support our troops or not. I think any sane American supports our troops, and that is one reason why some want them back home while others want them over in Iraq, fighting the terrorists on their own soil. Or we could wait until they fly a plane into Lady Liberty, or the Empire State Building. So Saddam needed to be removed he killed probably in the millions of his own people. This guy was a tyrant who ranked with the likes of Joseph Stalin, Fidel Castro, and Adolf Hitler. Hitler had no WMD's and no one complains about us going to war with him, Hitler and Hussein both commited the same hideous crimes just on differant scales. We are in war on terror, Iraq was a terrorist state just like Afghanistan so we had to go in there weather they had WMD's or not.

Now to touch on another offensive issue, abortion. First of all I think that if we are going to have abortion that the mother should have to have her child and before they cut the cord the mother should have to kill it, not make the doctor do their dirty work to clear their consience. Even though life has started at that point the thing is still alive inside the womb. One says "well thats murder". Exactly! welcome to what our nation is really doing. If a women has been raped I think punishing that child for the crimes of its father is unthikable. If she does not want the child have it and put it in an orphanage, or give to a relative who is willing to take care of it. It is that simple. if the mother will die at birth I think God will take the mother when he wants her anyway so she might as well have a child. Now all you liberals can say I would take away a womens right to kill her unborn baby, durn right. Science says a little germ cell without a nucleus is alive, so I think we can say that little child is alive when its just being formed. God bless you all

Whats the differance between a clarinate and an onion? Nobody cries when you chop a clarinate up. Ok maybe not the funniest thing ever said but come on did you smile? Well so far the only thing I know about the treason thing is the school is "investigating". The kid will most likely not get punished because the guy investigating is the football coach and the kid is a player and Mr. X would never punish one of his own. If anyone is reading this please tell your friends about it for quick easy access go to www.checkmate101.blogger.com that is how they can get here. So what is the deal with the minute men? I think our country can use them and should be greatful as long a Mr. Bush ignores the borders. Really we have hundreds of thousands of people coming over that border every day, the number on the Arizona stretch is down by 2/3rds, from last year. See how effective these minute men are? As long as they are not being abusive they are doin good. Really a fence aint stopping nobody( and aint is a word check the dictionary). I would like to thank all the minute men( and women) for what they are doing.

On another note does anyone know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop? Really I think I might get a team of lollipop specialists on that to find out, any volunteers? Who knows if someone proves they tried I may let them help run this blog (even though these are free go make one). Anyway good luck in your efforts, anyone who tires this and completes it deserves an award.

So have I got any Scots or Swedes out there, I am both and I would greatly appreciate if you could fill me in on some traditions of these cultures, like I said last time you do not have to be a member to post, all terms applicable which are determined by me.

Well I think I've blogged you out if you're still reading this, if you have any subject in particular you want me to talk about just let me know in a comment. God bless you all

Down with stupidity; up with morality

America is in the middle of one of the worst peroids we have been in. This thing does not just fix itself; we as the people of America muat stand strong and say "we are cictizens hear us roar". Did you notice though, that the more America and the ACLU(who have never lived up to their name) seperate from God, the worse of we become. Look at the fall in moral standards since abortion was legalized, the Bible was taken out of schools, and judges started legislating from the bench. This thing is not just morals, our economy is worse, people show no respect, more than half of all marriage ends in divorce, the majority of youth have no self-esteem and no goals, we are now the most morbidly obese country in the world( fifty pounds of food that goes to fat on 100,000,000+ million people could feed alot of Ethiopians), we have the most illiterate people in the world, and so on. How long America? How long? Maybe if we wait longer all of our scoutmasters will HAVE to be gay, we can all be fined for saying Merry Christmas, or Happy Kwanza. So how long are you really going to sit down and let our nation rot? I am ready to say "enough, lets get back to how this nation started, it worked for Washington". Did you know that out of 55 people who formed the constitution 52 were active members of their church? We can take America back to its Biblical foundations, and we can do it together!

FYI: here is a list of things that many think can not be done in school but are perfectly legal.
1. Studants, may carry a Bible, or other religious book to school; however, if the class is supposed to be working on something you can get your Bible confiscated, along with CD players, and other things. You may read it on campus before and after school,lunch, free periods, study halls normally, and during a class when the teacher has given you free time.
2. You may start a Bible, or Christian club if there are other clubs such as metaphysics at that school and you meet all the reqs.
3. Studants can pray during school as long as it does not disrupt the class, you may also pray around the flag, and have Bible study sessions before and after school.
4. You may say Merry Christmas and other religious holiday greetings regardless of ACLU threats.
5. Religious songs are perfectly acceptable for the school choir to sing.
I hope this helps you; you may comment regardless of weather you are a blogger of not, I may choose to display your comment and by commenting you recognize you are open to being quoted, disagreed with severly, verbal assult, or agreement along with anything I see fit. By commenting or coming here you agree that I may do this and what I say at my blog goes, you are welcome to comment and disagree however.

Treson or funny?

At the election speeches there was a very offensive slide show. In it one of the candidates was shown on the cross with or next to Jesus. The last slide showed her chopping of Pres. Bush's head, while her elector said "she fights the real terrorists". This is not only wrong but unacceptable; things of this nature should be severly punished, and the people in the wrong should apologize and admit they were wrong. America lets not take this, I do not care if its Bush, Kerry, or Nader, you still dod not cut of peoples head.

New Pope

Well we now find that the Catholic church has a new pope, congratulations! There was one problem I thought of that really sticks out. This pontiff is really very old. Our Catholic friends may find themselves picking a new pope in just s few years; however, God knows best. I am definatly not Catholic, but I am a Pentacostal(yes we are all Christians).
On another note my schools studant body elections are tomorrow and I can not decide who to vote for for studant body president. This is hard because neither candidates are the same faith as I(Christian). One has no religious values really and the other is Islamic, I do not know what her views on many things are so I find it hard to pick between the two candidates. I think the Islamic candidate would probably have a firmer moral backround in many areas, such as she would probably be more honest and les likely to steal and so on which makes think she may be the best candidates. I try not to discriminate by religion alot but like I said I am not sure about some of her views, but at least I know she has views. God bless everyone(even the Muslims, many of them are good citizens of their countries, and wonderful members of their community, do not judge them as if they like Bin Laden)

How about a stand?

This nation is one of disgrce. Our politics are corrupt, and our people do nothing. Everyday this nation moves to a greater evil. Well enough! I firmly believe it is time to look beyond political party lines and say to our officials we do not want your partisan games we want you to do away with your political alliances and start betering this country. God bless people like Micheal Moore and Bill O'Rielly who at least stand for what they believe even if I disagree with them sometimes. God bless the Boy Scouts who said to the United Way keep your money and homosexual supporters and scoutmasters. People I call upon you this hour to say we want America back. I love this nation and lets preseve it, we can do it together
