Jesus Wants Poor To Pay Taxes - Rick Warren
Megachurch pastor Rick Warren created controversy with his tweet arguing that that the rich pay too much in taxes compared to the poor. Do most Christians think Jesus/God/The Bible is in favor of the rich? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss.

More False Prophets: Rapture in May 2011, End of the Kosmos in October 2011
WWW, January 2011 - It does not matter that the bible clearly states that "no man knows just exactly when the things will happen that are prophesied in the book, here we have a "pastor" that leads the sheep away from simply faith in Jesus Christ. He tries to make people believe that the rapture and subsequent destruction of creation will take place in the period from May to October in this year, that is 2011.
There are always groups and individuals who claim the end of the world on a certain date, obviously they've all become exposed later but not after they did indeed fool sometimes masses into selling their goods and wait for the pye in the sky.
This "pastor" is not the only one that claims the dat, by the way. Another one called Harold Camping is also among those that have fallen into deceiving the people with their strange predictions:
Note the fact that there are even people wearing T-shirts with the date "May 21, 2011" on their backs...

US Army: Onward Christian soldiers?
Is there no freedom of musical choice in the US armed forces? US Army posts in VA have been putting on a series of so-called Spiritual Fitness Concerts. But "spiritual fitness" is merely the military's new term for promoting evangelical Christianity. Religious scholar and US military veteran Jake Diliberto explained there is a strong Christian influence in the US military that goes back to the early founding of the military and today the religious right in America has very strong influence in the US national security system.

Christian Zionist Conference explores God's chosen countries
From the day it earned independence from the British, the United States of America was a country founded on God, commonly referenced under the notion of American exceptionalism; a theory that America's success was due to God's divine intervention.
Now, the term has expanded to include Israel, which was the theme of this year's Christians United for Israel summit in Washington, DC where participants and attendees affirmed biblical links to both countries

"WHAT LOVE IS THIS?"
CRC VIDEO REVIEW
WWW, October 2008 - Killings, Torture, Political Dictatorship: all in the Name of Jesus Christ. Welcome to the "love" of John Calvin's Christianity, which shapes the doctrines and philosophy of many of today's Evangelical Christians, including Rick Warren.
Dave Hunt is a well-known Bible teacher based in the USA. He is known for his in-depth analyses of trends and movements in especially the Evangelical part of what "Christianity". With books like "The Seduction Of Christianity", he exposed the New Age nature of many popular "prophets" and "healers".
However, it's not just those more or less recent trends within Christianity that may find themselves into the attention of Dave Hunt. Under the title "A Woman Rides The Beast", he exposed the system of the Roman Catholic Church for what she really is, too.
In "What Love Is This", Dave Hunt exposes another part of Christianity, which came into existence in Western Europe a couple of centuries ago. It's widely known as "The Reformation": the birth of the Protestant Churches in Europe.
The Reformation Movement included people like Martin Luther and also a man called John Calvin, the founder of what we now know under the name "Calvinism". He wrote a number of books, in which he created a whole philosophy around what he perceived the Message of the Divine Saviour to be. He also became the mayor of Geneva (Switzerland) where he would practice the kind of politics that even the Taliban of today are not accused of.
In this lecture, Dave Hunt sheds light on various aspects of Calvinism. He shows without the shadow of a doubt, that Calvin's ideas have nothing to do with the God Who reveals Himself in the original Bible. There is no love whatsoever to be found in the Message that the God of John Calvin has, as can be seen in the practical work-out of Calvinism.
John Calvin would torture people who disagreed with him. A child who had a bad mouth against his parents would be beheaded, for example. People who refused to accept child baptism were drowned, others were burned alive.
In England, followers of the religious dictator and false prophet turned the whole country into an even more extreme version of Calvin's Geneva. Everybody who would disagree with John Calvin's sick doctrines, would be tortured and killed.
In fact, the whole "Reformation" was nothing more than... a reformation. A system was updated, rather than abolished. Babylon wasn't left, Babylon was... updated.
The Roman Catholic Church is known for it's brutal persecution of "heretics". The stories of the Crusades and the Inquisition can be considered standard knowledge, but the fact that the so-called "Reformers" continued the practice of religious dictatorship is rather ignored by many who called themselves Protestant or Evangelical Christians today.
In fact, Dave Hunt shows that the two predominant names of the Reformation, Martin Luther and John Calvin, were Roman Catholics who actually took their ideas from Augustine, a "church father" who basically is the founder of Roman Catholicism. Luther, for example, was an Augustinian Monk.
The "Reformers" didn't step out of the Babylon that is the Roman Catholic Church System, but they rather, as the word says, "reformed" it. With the result, that those people who practiced adult baptism rather than child baptism would be persecuted, tortured and killed.
Fast forward to today. Contemporary followers of John Calvin's reli-fascism may not have the political power they used to have anymore, but if they would, the Taliban would be considered a human rights group compared to them.
We know them under various names, one of which is "dominionists". Rick Warren and his Purpose Driven Madness, for example, can also be seen as a political Calvinist since he strives to create "world peace" under the rule of his "Purpose Driven Christianity".
In Calvin's philosophy, "Christians" are a superior kind of being and destined to take over the whole world so that Jesus Christ can safely return, as if the Lord God and Saviour is a helpless individual.
They will impose by law what the Bible says is the Work of the Holy Spirit within people, creating not only an evil caricature (Dave Hunt calls it a "misrepresentation") of God, but de facto creating an environment wherein Satan's Antichrist feels very much at home.
Listen to Dave Hunt, as he simply asks himself, and his audience: "What Love Is This?"

VIDEO: GOD'S NEXT ARMY
VIDEO: GOD'S NEXT ARMY
In this remarkable documentary by British TV station "Channel 4", we are introduced to the students and staff at "Patrick Henry College", somewhere in the USA.
It's not just any college: the founder claims that the college is patterned after elite universities like Yale and it's purpose is to create a new kind of elite that will take over the country in order to change it according to their own ideas.
This is the breeding place for what the makers of the video have dubbed "God's Next Army".
New students have to sign so-called "covenants", wherein they bind themselves to the rules of the school. No drinking alcohol, for example. And if you're caught doing it, the video shows what happens then. You will have to "confess your sins" for a big audience.
The students are a great tool in the hands of the Republican party. They go from door to door, even lobby in Washington to help the big businesses in their efforts privatize everything. And there's even some perverted biblically sounding argument for it: since "The Earth Is The Lord's", this means the earth should be exploited by private businesses rather than the society as a whole.
We also see what kind of lessons the students receive. We hear quotes like "Christianity reigns" and so on. Yes, this is a bastion of Dominionism: a "Christian" New World Order!
Within the circles of Dominionism, the term "Body of Christ" is used in such a way, that they make the Body of Christ which is the church into the very Body of Christ, with all the Divine attributes. Ergo: the Church has to rule the world, take "dominion".
And of course, while the students have the idea that they are actually creating "Gods Kingdom on earth" because they are "the Body of Christ", Babylon is behind it: How many Christians have been deceived into believing that George W. Bush, the visitor of Bohemian Grove and member of Skull and Bones, is a true born again Christian?
A scaring report from a very troubling form of "Christian Theocracy" that will surely make people who have to suffer under Dominionism hate Jesus Christ even more. the "Jesus Christ" of Babylon Sponsored "Christianity", that is...

"JESUS PEOPLE": A SATIRE
CRC VIDEO REVIEW
WWW, May 2008 - Even without knowing the details about the real people and events (discussed) in the video, the satire "Jesus People" unmistakably shows the hypocrisy, vanity and essential unchristian nature of the Christian Industrial Complex.
A pastor, his wife, and four ambitious artists who want to make it in the Christian Industrial Complex form the backbone of the "Jesus People" story. The pastor guides the artists and introduces them to other celebs in the market where Christianity is spelled Chri$tianity.
Obviously no co-incidence: the pastor looks like Rick Warren and one of the artists speaks about how her former husband ruined her career in the Christian Market before: those in-the-know will recognize similarities with Amy Grant.
But even without knowing (some) details concerning the true events and people that inspired the makers of "Jesus People", the viewer of the video will recognize how little exaggeration is applied. Completely unnecessary, as the Christian Industrial Complex in itself makes a mockery out of the true Christian faith.
Time for a smile, and -when you know yourself to be involved in the Christian Industrial Complex- perhaps time to realize how blasphemic this complex is, in reality.
For it is obvious that the makers of the video know the difference between the Industry and the faith better than many who call themselves "Christian".
