Blasphemy!

A Jesus Christ cartoon is in development at Comedy Central.  "JC is a playful take on religion and society with a sprinkle of dumb.”  This comment makes me wonder just how many Christians and biblical scholars are involved in the creation of this show.  My guess is a big, fat 0.

I personally believe that Comedy Central has already gone too far.  I thought cartoons were supposed to be for kids.  Since when is animation R rated?  Apparently clean humour is no longer appreciated.

While I appreciate good humour like any real Canadian, I take offense as a Christian when non-believers take all respect and honour away from my Saviour.  I have no doubts that God loves to laugh, the Bible speaks often of the joy of the Father.  I can only imagine Jesus laughing and joking around with his disciples, but to place God in the role of an apathetic, video-gaming father?  That's offensive.  That's disrespect.

I'm all for promoting Christianity in as many forms as possible, but lets keep it relevant and reverent.  Why not pitch a Jesus cartoon to a Christian or family network and let the believers take over the development?  Having non-Christians promote their skewed view of God isn't helping the cause of the Christian faith.

A while back, we here at SYPH and GH posted on religious respect.  It's time for that respect to come into play.  I'm not going to knock the atheists no matter how sorry I feel for them.  I'm not going to hate the Muslims even if I don't agree with them.  I'm not going to avoid the Buddhists just because I don't share their faith, but you'd better believe that I'm going to stand up and cry out when ignorant citizens mock my God, my Saviour, my Father, my Friend.  Take Him or leave Him, but there's hell to pay for unbelief.

You may think me harsh in my comments, but believe me, I'm calm right now.  If you've spent any time at all in the presence of the Lord, you, too should be infuriated with what the picture the world is trying to paint of the God of the Universe.  I've been called a fanatic and a zealot.  I'm okay with that.  I wish more Christians would be proud to carry those labels.  Who are we if not passionate about our faith and our God?

    I appreciate your comments and agree completely. The holy reverence once given to God has gone by the wayside, replaced by mockery that goes beyond disrespect. It's blasphemy. And you're right. There is hell to pay.

    This makes me want to cry. While God is a big God and can surely handle himself, no one should be subject to such mockery, all-powerful or not.

Wilfred Laurier 1907 Speech

--> I think this is is something that needs to be forwarded until every Canadian with a computer receives it. The year is 1907, one hundred and three years ago. -->   Wilfrid Laurier's ideas on Immigrants and being a Canadian in 1907. 'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes a Canadian and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet a Canadian, and nothing but a Canadian.  T here can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is a Canadian, but something else also, isn't a Canadian at all. We have room for but one flag, the Canadian flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and t...

Spare the rod, spoil the child...

Spanked Children May Grow Up to Be Happier, More Successful Imagine this: a biblical principle that actually works! Spanking works.  I am walking proof.  While every child has their moments, if a parent uses a spanking the way it should be used, it's effective. Here is my definition of a proper spanking: the child is old enough to recognise that they have done wrong (never spank a kid who doesn't understand what they've done isn't right), never spank in anger (if you're mad, don't even think about disciplining your child, cool down before you deal with it), explain to your child why they are getting the swat (don't just spank if the kid doesn't know why), don't wait too long to spank (kids forget - discipline while the issue is still relevant) above all, let your child know you love them and that they are receiving the discipline because of that, not because you're mad about something they did or didn't do. This is how spanking worked w...

A road not travelled

Disabled Vets Seeking to Sue Federal Government Today I will veer in a new direction.  I don't believe that I have yet to compose a post in which I actually agree with the people complaining about our government.  In this case, I do. This is not the first time where the mention of war veterans has entered the picture.  I'm all for supporting the people who fight for our country as well as the freedom of others.  These men and women often go beyond the call of duty and are true patriots in my book.  To enter a profession where active duty in a war zone is nearly a guarantee you get my stamp of approval. While the government certainly isn't to blame for 98% of the problems Canadians tends to blame it for, in this case, to deduct monetary awards from injured veterans is inappropriate and downright mean.  These are the people who should be most compensated by our government. If money is the issue here, surely there are other areas where costs could be c...
