How Can Christians Worship a God Who Allows Haiti?

How Can Christians Keep Worshiping a God Who Allows Haiti?

Whenever bad things happen, especially something on as huge and tragic a scale as the earthquake in Haiti, non-believers and believers in God alike question how God could let it happen. And depending on the answer to that question is the question of whether or not we should believe or continue believing in such a God.

Devout Christians, to the consternation of some, are relentless in their determination to hold onto their beliefs no matter how bad things get. But, why should this be? Why is the faith of so many, so unshakable in times like these?

Christianity brings several things to the table that no other religion or philosophy does.

Joe Biden Says Nation Must Spend More – or Go Broke!

By AFN

Joe Biden speaking at the AARP yesterday gave a huge insight into Liberal Economics when he said we must spend even more money or we will go broke!   The audio is a little hard to here so here is a transcript:

BIDEN: The president knows and I know that the status quo is simply not acceptable.  It’s totally unacceptable.  And it’s completely unsustainable.

 
Even if we wanted to keep it the way we have it, we can’t do it financially.  WE’RE GONNA GO BANKRUPT AS A NATION.  Now people say why do you say that… unintelligible… YOU’RE TELLING THEM THAT WE GOTTA SPEND THE MONEY TO KEEP FROM GOING BANKRUPT?  THE ANSWER IS YES.  I’M TELLING YOU!

WSJ Reports Stimulus Not Working

By AFN

economy

About the best we can say about yesterday’s June jobs report is that employment is usually a lagging economic indicator. At least we hope it is, because the loss of 467,000 jobs for the month is one more sign that the economy still hasn’t hit bottom despite months of epic fiscal and monetary reflation.

The report is in many ways even uglier than the headline numbers. Average hours worked per week dropped to 33, the lowest level in at least 40 years. This means that millions of full-time workers are being downgraded to part-time, as businesses slash labor costs to remain above water. Because people are working less, wages have fallen by 0.3% this year. Factories are operating at only 65% capacity, while the overall jobless rate hit 9.5%. Throw in discouraged workers who want full-time work, and the labor underutilization rate climbed to 16.5%. (more)


New York City Experiences Coolest June in 51 Years

By AFN

central parkNew York City has experienced its coolest June in 51 years.   It hasn’t been this cool in Central Park since 1958!  Global warming advocates keep telling us that “one day, one week, one month” doesn’t make a trend, but they’ve been telling us that for four to five years now!  WHEN does it become a trend?

The alarmists say that the “deniers” are anti-science and anti-intellectual.  Yet we go by what the actual evidence shows.  The alarmists go only by what questionable computer models show.  If the climate cools but they’re told by scientists that computer models project a warming then they will believe it’s warming – despite the actual evidence which shows the climate has slightly cooled over the last three to five years.

Of course it’s not scientific to simply look at a thermometer.  It’s much more sophisticated to follow computer models.  But what if those models aren’t making accurate predictions?  (more)

Politicians’ “Profit Motive”

By AFN

airforce1-statueoflibertyPolls show that 57% of Obama voters last year thought Congress was controlled by Republicans!  (yes, it’s true. Zogby Poll)

And Obama voters were very upset with Congress  (The Congressional approval  rating was about a third of Bush’s approval rating.  Congressional approval was at 9%).  They wanted a CHANGE in Congress, so Obama voters voted Republicans out (because they thought Republicans controlled congress)! But actually Democrats controlled congress so they voted in more of the people they were angry with!

And I predict the anger will continue.  The Wall Street Journal had articles today detailing how congress is continuing to abuse the American people. (more)

Even Helen Thomas is Beginning to See Through Obama

By AFN

Even CBS’ Chip Reid and AP’s Helen Thomas are starting to see through the lack of transparency in the Obama administration.  This guy Gibbs is so smarmy though. Geesh. He thinks he’s there to do standup comedy… apparently forgetting he’s the press secretary to the President of the United States.

Are you guys seeing it the same way?

Democrat Newspaper Publisher Becomes Republican!

By AFN

SHERMAN FREDERICK (Publisher of the Las Vegas Review-Journal) 
Why I dumped Obama’s party

I was on political easy street as a Democrat.  President Obama, the party head, is a political rock star in America and a near-god in Amsterdam and Cairo.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is portrayed as grown too big to fail, and he’s convinced everyone who’s anyone in my home city of Las Vegas to join him on the Obama freight train to socialism. Next stop: Rationed health care, union card check and $10-a-gallon gasoline. All aboard!

Democrats own Washington, D.C., as well as the Nevada Legislature.

Meanwhile, Nevada’s Republican “Luv Guv,” Jim Gibbons, couldn’t be on a more prolonged hard-luck streak. He’s in the divorce from hell with the first lady, who for a time holed herself up in the Governor’s Mansion; his staff regularly jumps ship; and rumor has it that the governor’s dog has obtained a restraining order.

Obama: NO CHANGE FOR IRAN

By AFN

Our fundamental values demand that America stand with demonstrators opposing a regime that is the antithesis of all we believe.

And where is our president? Afraid of “meddling.” Afraid to take sides between the head-breaking, women-shackling exporters of terror — and the people in the street yearning to breathe free. This from a president who fancies himself the restorer of America’s moral standing in the world.”  Charles Krauthammer (more)

Obama’s Wall of Silence

By AFN

tehran-protestsA disturbing picture has taken shape since Obama’s speech to the Muslim world from Cairo University.  It is a picture of a man who has a historically inaccurate and morally-relativistic view of the world.  For most men an inaccurate view of history simply makes them uninformed, but for a president, an inaccurate view of the world makes him extremely dangerous.

In this case, moral relativism and historical inaccuracy have produced an American president who cannot condemn murder on the part of Islamic regimes.  Let’s take a look at some of Obama’s own words. (more)
