WaPo's 'On Faith': Jesus Would Bless 'Occupy Wall Street' Movement
On Washington Post's On Faith blog, Daily Beast contributor Lisa Miller teased a piece about Occupy Wall Street with a worthy question: "What would Jesus think about Occupy Wall Street?" Her answer was simple, and predictably liberal: "The Jesus of history would love them all."
In a piece titled "Jesus at Occupy Wall Street: 'I feel like I've been here before,'" Miller portrayed the protestors as wretched outcasts, whom God would embrace because of their misery: "Born with little means into a first century world, the historical Jesus might feel right at home with the very aspects of the occupation that so many 21st century observers consider gross: the tents, the damp sleeping bags, the communal kitchen. Jesus would have sympathy, I think, with the campers' efforts to keep a small space sanitary in the absence of modern plumbing."
Poor and wretched outcasts, bringing $5500 laptops to protests.
Miller did concede that the protestors didn't really concern themselves with God or religion. "The protestors don't talk much about Jesus or God. Nor do they offer explicit guidance on transcendent, higher principles."
But according to Miller, actual belief in God doesn't determine whether a person is actually a Christian or not. "A lesson from Jesus might show them that they have moral authority within their grasp - only it won't be conveyed through banners or sound bites. Their most radical act is the company they keep."
No word on what the Savior would have thought about the public sex, drug use, violent rhetoric or criminality on display, or even the crass materialism of the protestors' complaints. Nor did Miller stop to wonder if Christ would approve of making common cause with Marxists, whose philosophy resulted in the murder of 100 million people.
Miller cites "professor of religious studies" Bart Ehrman: "Jesus believed the whole system was corrupt. The people who ran things were empowered by the evil forces of the world and his followers had to work against these powers by feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, and caring for the sick."
Ehrman is a non church-going agnostic, who is the author of a book titled Forged: Writing in the Name of God-Why the Bible's Authors Are Not Who We Think They Are. In a March 25 article on the Huffington Post, Ehrman charged the New Testament writers with lying: "It appears that some of the New Testament writers, such as the authors of 2 Peter, 1 Timothy and Ephesians, felt they were perfectly justified to lie in order to tell the truth. But we today can at least evaluate their claims and realize just how human, and fallible, they were. They were creatures of their time and place. And so too were their teachings, lies and all."
(Other scholars dispute Ehrman's contention that the Bible is a pack of lies.)
A person who claims that Christianity is a "beautiful myth" may not be the best exponent of Christianity. But to liberals, the "Jesus of history" (or, more accurately, the liberal fantasy of Jesus) is more convenient to liberal tastes, because it contradicts the Jesus of the Bible.
The Christ who sought to befriend and convert tax collectors so that they would give voluntarily of their means and who proposed the parable of the talents bears little resemblance to the demanding, grasping protestors, who seek government handouts and a utopia. His kingdom, of course, was "not of this world."
But the revolutionary character of Occupy Wall Street is clear. And perhaps they will chant from their holy text: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."
Wait, that's not in the Bible.

She forgot.

I think she forgot that Jesus was a Jew. He would be trashed for being one at OWS. Yes, Jesus would love them, but He would have a tear in his eye for their sinful ways. "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks."

Jesus did throw people out of the Temple "for a reason."
Submitted by Mike Bratton on Sat, 10/22/2011 - 1:11pm.
But not one the reason the liberal fantasy-peddlers would appreciate...
John 2:13-17 succinctly records the event: "And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up."
They were merchants, not bankers, and Jesus forcibly evicted them for reducing the Temple to a shopper's bazaar.
One would think that writers could, at least, be troubled to get their facts right.

The Washington Post's "On Faith" feature is, most of the time, despicable. It allows the forum to anyone who wants to twist and distort the teachings of Jesus to fit their own ends.
"Jesus believed the whole system was corrupt. The people who ran things were empowered by the evil forces of the world and his followers had to work against these powers by feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, and caring for the sick."
While He might sympathize with the problems of communal living, Jesus had NOTHING to say about the political system of His time. He didn't preach charity to each other because they couldn't count on the government, He preached it because He believed that's where the charity belonged! On each of us, as individuals; not as a socialist state.
Liberals simply refuse to believe this. They can't believe in a Jesus who doesn't fit their worldview.

What would Jesus think of the Occupiers? I think, after seeing the filth, immorality, and general disrespect for private property, never mind the blatant antisemitism, that the "occupiers" are publicly displaying, he'd turn to the general population and say; "And let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one."

Be Careful What You Believe
Submitted by Saltherring on Sat, 10/22/2011 - 10:51am.
Yes, but Jesus would also call them to repent of their evil, sinful ways. And repentance does not only mean to ask God for forgiveness, but to turn from evil and do what He commands in His Word, the Bible.
Jesus' love for all was...and still is...unconditional, but only those who truly repent and accept Him as their personal Savior shall receive the gift of eternal life and enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Unrepentant sinners will be sentenced to eternity in hell. This is what the Bible says. The left, however, has rejected the Biblical Jesus and conjured up their own false doctrines, which the Bible refers to as "doctrines of demons".

Dave, we're supposed to take the word of a professed, non-churchgoing agnostic about what Jesus thought, or would think.
Since agnostics, by definition, are of the opinion that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable,
Who better to create a portrait of Him based on their own personal earthly standards?
"God" or "Jesus" has to fit their world-view. The operative word being "world." Because they have no view of the Divine and/or eternal.

I have listened to and given
Submitted by buddyc on Fri, 10/21/2011 - 4:54pm.
I have listened to and given a lot of thought to this liberal argument. It is a lot like the argument over global warming or that Obama "saved" a lot of jobs. It is subjective and not capable of accurate measurement. Their claims about what Christ would have done, does not hold up for three main reasons:
1. When Christ did something similar to what the OWS people are doing, it was to persons defiling the temple, the house of God because it was the house of God. Chirst was angry and drove the money changers and others from the temple. HE never ever got involved in a similar protest of Rome, the rich, the jewish leadership, and he never singled out any group for ridicule.
2. The night before his cruxification, I believe Mary, washed and put oil on his feet. He had traveled a distance. The oil that was used was expensive. Judas criticized the expenditure and said the money could have been better used for the poor. Christ replied, in essence, that there will always be poor amoung us.
3. Christ taught about free agency. He did not preach collective love of thy neighbor, he preached individual love of thy neighbor. If Christ were there I think he would be there to preach the need for the rich to share directly with those in need, because of their love, not because they were made by a government to give. He would tell the protestors to love those they disagree with and forgive them of any sin.
People who get jobs at the NY Times and WaPo lack the ability to really understand Christ's life. They make me sick when they, who really dispise christianity, lecture others on "what Christ would have done". They don't have a clue. Had they a clue they would be exposing the charitable contributions of people like Biden, Obama, the Kennedy's and the Clintons who historically give nothing to charity.

Jesus Would Reject These Liberal Radicals
Submitted by Blue Collar Todd on Fri, 10/21/2011 - 9:20pm.
What do you think would happen to Jesus if He was alive today and preaching against sin? Particularly a sin like homosexuality? In a place where Christians are called bigots, "homophobes", intolerant and close minded, Jesus would no doubt be called the same. An old post by Herman Cainz is getting some attention for saying that Jesus would be the "perfect conservative". I would not word it that way, but Cain is clearly onto something. I would say the say the revolutionary politics of Jesus require us to reject Liberalism. For Liberalism stands in total antithesis to biblical Christianity. Here is a previous post of mine that deals with this. It is about the political implications of Jesus' teachings

Submitted by coin of the realm on Fri, 10/21/2011 - 10:46pm.
Gain his fame by giving poor and repressed people hope for a better future in heaven? This united people as his followers but it also encouraged the advocates for change among them to try and get Jesus to use his position to lead a rebellion against the Romans and their puppets. Jesus shunned the efforts to politicize or militarize his followers and instead preached peace, love and acceptance. He practiced those principles by working with those who nobody would accept. He took in anyone who wanted love or needed help. He took as a close friend/partner/whatever a notorious prostitute who was basically an outcast.
those things strike me as a bit on the liberal side, accepting all without judgment. Although he was offered opportunity to lead revolution against the powers that be, he refused. That could be considered conservative except for he want trying to keep things the same bc they were good, but bc he taught that those who did good deeds and obeyed the laws of God now would have a place in heaven while those who sinned would not.
He certainly had the conservatives of the day scared it seems. I think parts of his teaching were liberal and parts were about conservative principles like self reliance.

Submitted by ant on Sat, 10/22/2011 - 1:26pm.
If Jesus was a liberal he would have constantly worried about the racial representation and sex of his apostles and went around telling everyone that there was no God. Sorry, nice try. Jesus did not 'gain his fame' by giving to the poor. He gained followers for everything he said and did, not the least of which was giving up his life as a sinless sacrifice so that anyone who believes in Him may be counted as righteous before the judgement of God. Please read sometime, then you would know that it was taught that 'good deeds' alone do not get you into heaven and obeying the laws of God are not possible for sinful mankind (old covenant), thus the necessity for Jesus (new covenant).
This is ridiculous, '..there is no God, but the protesters own (fallible) moral authority is some standard of Jesus..'? "Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven...". Not seek ye first the wealth of others. Not seek ye first to hand power to earthly authority. Not seek ye first a free college of your choice.

Submitted by TheHistorian on Sat, 10/22/2011 - 8:47am.
Lisa wrote about the "historical Jesus" whenever she wrote his name in the part of this which I could stomach to read. The problem is, that if she is going to try to use his words, he is God Jesus or Brother Jesus, not "historical Jesus". A demonstration of how a liberal is trying to use something that she doesn't understand to try to buttress an argument based upon her own misconceptions.
One other question when she wrote about sanitation: Is defecating on a police car a new method to keep an area sanitary? If that person was not thrown out bodily by the OWS crowd, they accept his behavior and his attitude. These are typical liberals; you can believe and do anything you want and it is OK.

And my prediction should not be seen as a slight to the Cardinal. I just believe that Arizona is good enough to win this one. The defense will be the difference here, and I don't think the Stanford D will be able to stop a healthy Nick Foles. Also there's that Juron Criner guy. I hear he's the best receiver in the Pac-10.

The California DFI on Monday warned its state-chartered credit unions against using advertising statements that claim "everyone can join."Read more
According to spokeswoman Alana Golden, a DFI employee noticed the offending advertising in a credit union branch.
After a search of credit union advertising in the Golden State, the DFI discovered two more ads that used the impermissible tag lines.
According to an article included in the DFI's April monthly bulletin, using advertising statements such as "everyone can join" or "all can join" violate the commissioner's regulation concerning common-bond requirements for field of membership...

DAVID in CA
This has been a great product for me. I have saved some riding buddies a couple of times because I had tools with me. I carry a 1/4" socket set, 10 mm wrench, multi-bit screw driver, extra spark plug and plug wrench, extra master link, and one of those emergency space blankets. It even functions somewhat as a back brace. Just be careful how you pack it, because in a hard get off, it's something else that can injure you. I had a big bruise on my left hip from the tool pak once when I went over the bars and landed on my left side. Even with that risk, I'd rather have the tool pak with me and maybe not have to sit in the desert waiting for hours for someone to find me.Read All Reviews

"Atlantic Division rivals Detroit and Tampa Bay" still has a funny ring to it, doesn't it? Perhaps it's high time we got acclimated a little better with our neighbors?
More of an op-ed than a game preview, I note the ho-hum status of the new schedule that forces just too much of a bulk of meaningless games on each team's schedule.

They must have gone with illustrations of the artist "silver" century Bilibin and remind us of the wonderful modern era, when fashion was fine, live ornaments from plants, flowers and animals.

6. Give immediate feedback
If you've ever played sports, it's easy to understand this one. "Calling it at the point of the foul" creates teachable moments and greatly increases their impact. If a user falls for a company-generated attack and gets training on the spot, it's highly unlikely they'll fall for that trick again.
7. Tell a story
When people are introduced to characters and narrative development, they often form subtle emotional ties to the material that helps keep them engaged. Rather than listing facts and data, use storytelling techniques. (Editor's note: see, for example, How to rob a bank.)
8. Make them think
People need an opportunity to evaluate and process their performance before they can improve. Security awareness training should challenge people to examine the information presented, question its validity, and draw their own conclusions.
9. Let them set the pace
It may sound cliche, but everyone really does learn at their own pace. A one-size-fits-all security training program is doomed to fail because it does not allow users to progress at the best speed for them.
10. Offer conceptual and procedural knowledge
Conceptual knowledge provides the big picture and lets a person apply techniques to solve a problem. Procedural knowledge focuses on the specific actions required to solve the problem.
Combining the two types of knowledge greatly enhances users' understanding. For example, a user may need a procedural lesson to understand that an IP address included in a URL is an indication that they are seeing a phishing URL. However, they also need the conceptual understanding of all the parts of a URL to understand the difference between an IP address and a domain name, otherwise they may mistake something like www4.google.com for a phishing URL.

Kevin Smith has shared a new script on his Facebook page, despite numerous announcements of his intent to retire from film after upcoming walrus-themed horror flick Tusk. Despite his portly appearance, Kevin Smith is apparently not one to rest on his laurels; "Helena Handbag" is dated Dec. 30, 2013, with text indicating that it is based on a story from the SModcast "The (C)rapture."
The script is credited to Smith and his frequent collaborator Scott Mosier.
The new movie will have humanity teaming up with Hell and Satan against "a Rapturing giant Jesus," and will probably give Smith and friends plenty more opportunities to counter-protest the Westboro Baptist Church again in the future, with signs like the famous "Dick tastes yummy" sign.
Smith said in his Facebook post, and has said similarly before, that he's "only ever gonna make a flick that only [he] would/could ever make ... Granted, this time the plot of the movie concerns mankind teaming up with Hell to save existence from extinction at the hands of a Rapturing giant Jesus — which means the budget has to be LOW, because NOBODY'S gonna wanna make that movie. At all." He's also said, perhaps due to that belief, that the movie is "a ways off." Smith should probably look at the news-crashing Satanic Temple.

Anyone that has met Erin Haslag of WELL in L.A. online will agree with me in that her personality mirrors what you see on her website, how she interacts on Twitter, and what she shares on Facebook. Erin is a health coach that encourages people to "live well" through her writing as well as through services that help them cleanse, cook and workout. At the same time she also helps other small business owners in the health and wellness field build their brands online.
Erin's background is in public health and counseling psychology with a Masters in Counseling Psychology, a Masters in Public Health, and a Bachelors in Health Science and Psychology. Her motto is all about preventative care, and she is one small business owner that definitely "walks her talk."
Watch a short clip of her video profile to learn more about how she came to be Erin of Well in L.A.
WELL in L.A. began as a blog that slowly evolved into a business. Visit her blog today and you will find inspiration for growing your business, living out your dreams, and getting healthy. During the video profile interview Erin briefly shared what her blog has done for her business: setting her up with an expert status early on, helping her audience get comfortable around her, good SEO for her site, and a way to build a community around her mission.
"We have room for multiple careers."
After the YFE Profile interview had ended Erin shared that her mother has worked in the same job for most of her life and would often comment to Erin that she has had so many different employers already at such a young age. The reality is that most young women and men today are job hoppers. We rarely stay in one place for more than three years and she reminds us in the profile that this can be true even in entrepreneurship. Your business today does not have to be your life plan. Erin has a passion for helping people get healthy and that she can take in many directions as her future unfolds.
Show up to tonight's #YFEtv at 6p/9e for a live Facebook Chat and live stream with Erin. By showing up to the Facebook chat and live stream, as a young female entrepreneur you will meet others who are just like you. Looking for support, inspiration, community, or guidance?

UFC certainly dodged a bullet on this one.
Broadcast satellite service provider DirecTV has reached a deal with FOX to continuing carrying its family of networks. From the DirecTV statement:
"Fox Networks and DIRECTV have reached an agreement for DIRECTV to continue carrying all Fox Networks (including FX, National Geographic Channel, Nat Geo WILD, SPEED, FUEL TV, FOX Soccer, FOX Soccer Plus and FOX Deportes), Fox's regional sports networks, Fox Broadcasting (FOX), the FOX local stations, Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network. We both know the past ten days have been challenging, but we're pleased that both sides could eventually come together to ensure our viewers continue to enjoy Fox programming."
The two sides may have waited until the eleventh hour to strike the multi-year agreement but the importance of this for the UFC cannot be understated.
The world's premiere mixed martial arts organization is gearing up for what promises to be its biggest year in history in 2012, when it plans to hold 34 events. Only a dozen or so of those are planned for pay-per-view, while four shows are planned for the main FOX network channel.
That still leaves 18 events without a home. Enter FX and FUEL.
While the UFC deal with FOX paved the way for the promotion to land on network TV, which was the most high profile facet of the deal, perhaps more important are the ancillary channels.
FX, for example, will become the new home of a completely revamped version of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), which, of course, is the show that saved MMA as we know it.
FUEL, on the other hand, has become "essential" for UFC fans, according to President Dana White. That's because the channel will air live events, as well as international versions of TUF. It's more or less going to become the unofficial home for UFC.
Losing out on the 20 million DirecTV subscribers would have been a big hit to the big things UFC has planned next year.
Again, though, bullet dodged.
Any DirecTV subscribers out there jumping for joy at this news?
