interesting.
Top Ten Instances of Christian Bashing in America, 2008
VISTA Calif.,
Jan. 5
/Christian Newswire/ -- The Christian Anti-Defamation
Commission (CADC) has prepared a Top Ten list of the most
egregious acts of Christian Bashing in American in 2008. Every
day in America serious Christians face increasing hostility at
work, school, and in the culture because they stand for their
faith and values.
"It is time for the Christian bashing to stop and for
Christians to no longer be treated like second-class
citizens," said Dr. Gary Cass, Chairman and CEO of CADC.
"Anti-Christian bigotry is real and growing. Those who engage
in it should be exposed and called to account."
INSTANCE #10 :
Jack Black Musical Video
In a short video posted on FunnyorDie.com entitled, "Prop 8
The Musical," an all star cast of Hollywood celebrities
perform a low budget musical farce that defames Christ, mocks
Christians and distorts the teaching of the Bible. Jack Black
played the lead role of Jesus.
INSTANCE #9 :
Bill Maher Gratuitously Attacks Pope
Bill Maher, host of the HBO program Real Time, made light of
the Pope during his recent visit and the tragic sexual abuse
scandal. Maher said, "Now I know what you're thinking, Bill.
You can't be saying that the Catholic Church is no better than
this creepy (radical Mormon polygamist) Texas cult. For one
thing, alter boys can't even get pregnant. But really, what
tripped up the little cult on the prairie was that they only
abused hundreds of kids, not thousands all over the world.
Cults get raided; religions get parades... If you have a few
hundred followers and you let some of them molest children,
they call you a cult leader. If you have a billion, they call
you Pope."
INSTANCE #8 :
ESPN Anchor Dana Jacobson's "F--- Jesus" Remark
Speaking at an ESPN corporate event in Atlantic City, N.J., to
honor ESPN Radio personalities Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic,
Dana Jacobson let go with a steam of vulgar remarks; "F---
Notre Dame," "F--- Touchdown Jesus" and finally "F--- Jesus."
Jacobson was suspended for a few days for the incident.
INSTANCE #7 :
Minnesota University Professor Desecrates Communion
A Biology Professor from the University of Minnesota, Paul
Zachary Myers, recently desecrated a consecrated communion
wafer from a Catholic Mass. Meyer's has also asked people to
steal the Eucharist for him in order that he might desecrate
it and display it on his blog.
INSTANCE #6 :
Religulous the Movie
Bill Maher released a very shallow, pseudo- intellectual
documentary entitled Religulous. The movie did not cover any
new intellectual ground. It simply raised the old attacks on
the faith. Maher studiously avoided being fair and did not
allow for legitimate Christian answers from any leading
Christian intellectuals.
INSTANCE #5 :
Chaplains Fired for Praying in Jesus' Name
Chaplains for the State of Virginia are being denied their
right to pray in Jesus' name. Six chaplains were fired for
continuing to pray in Jesus' name. Earlier this year in
Virginia, Rev. Hashmel Turner, a city councilman in
Fredericksburg, was told by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals that his prayers during city council meetings that
ended in Jesus' name will continue to be banned.
INSTANCE #4 :
Colorado Law Criminalizes the Bible
SB200, a Colorado state bill recently signed into law,
criminalizes the Bible. Section 8 of the bill entitled
"Publishing of discriminative matter forbidden" makes
publishing the Bible illegal because it contains
anti-homosexual passages. This is part of a larger effort to
criminalize the expression of certain opinions and beliefs.
INSTANCE #3 :
Barack Obama Defames Christianity
According to research into President Elect Obama's own
statements about faith, and an examination of Obama's position
on moral issues, CADC has determined that by any biblical and
historic Christian standard, Barack Obama is not a Christian,
although he claims he is a "devout Christian."
INSTANCE #2 :
Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin Is Attacked
Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin, came under sharp attack by some
in the mainstream media because she self-identifies as a
Christian. The Washington Post published a cartoon by Pat
Oliphant mocking Palin because she has a background as a
Pentecostal/Charismatic Christian. A suspicious arson fire at
Sarah Palin's home church recently caused over $1,000,000 in
damage.
And finally, the #1 Christian Bashing Instance in America
for 2008...
INSTANCE #1 :
Radical Homosexuals Assault Prop 8 Marriage Supporters in
California
During and after the November campaign stories flooded in of
pro-Prop 8 signs being taken, people verbally and physically
assaulted, church property and private automobiles vandalized,
and person's jobs and pastor's lives threatened simply for
exercising their right to campaign and vote in support of
traditional marriage.
