Freedom of Religion and Belief in the 21st Century: A Christian Response
There are good reasons for rejecting the diagnosis that the problem with religion is that it discriminates, and the proposed cure that it not be allowed to discriminate any longer. 1. The whole approach is putting Australian law on a radically different basis. Christianity teaches its followers to think in terms of right and wrong, but the Australian Human Rights Commission, naturally, thinks in terms of rights. In Christianity, it is a sin to bow down to idols, to murder, to commit adultery, to steal, to be covetous or proud, and so on. The basic law is summarised in the…
Leftists are silent about Christian persecution because they want to maintain the lie that Christianity is harmful.
Leftists are awfully silent when it comes to Christian persecution. While they’re often quick to express concerns about the spread of “Islamophobia”, very few, if any, will ever mention “Christophobia”, despite the fact that Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world. When 290 Christians in Sri Lanka were slaughtered by Islamic terrorists, Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama, among others, chose to refer to the victims as “Easter worshippers” rather than “Christians”. Other outspoken leftists decided to say nothing at all about the attacks. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted up to 14 times about the massacre of 50 Muslims in…
Trump Jr slams The Washington Post for downplaying Christian persecution and suggesting Muslims have it worse just one day after 290 Christians were slaughter by Islamic terrorists.
Donald Trump Jr has slammed the Washington Post, after the major American newspaper responded to Sunday’s terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka by downplaying Christian persecution. Just a day after 290 Christians were slaughtered by Islamic terrorists during Easter celebrations, the paper published a piece downplaying the idea that Christianity is under attack, claiming rather “the vast majority of terrorism victims globally are Muslims.” Analysis: Sri Lanka church bombings stoke far-right anger in the West https://t.co/seWuJwgzwG — The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) April 22, 2019 The piece also went on to warn the bombings in Sri Lanka are stoking far-right anger in…
WATCH: Comedy Central accused of “colluding” with the FBI, links revealed
Avi Yemini has shared a video on social media accusing Comedy Central’s parent company, Viacom, of “colluding” with the FBI in order to prevent him from entering the United States. Yemini travelled to the States in pursuit of a follow-up story after he exposed Comedy Central’s Jim Jefferies “shocking editorial standards and bias.” On arrival in LAX Yemini was detained and questioned by the FBI before being deported back to Australia. TR.News has since revealed links between Viacom and the FBI, and accused the media giant of using the government agency to ban Yemini from entering the country. “The information…
Calling Christians “Easter worshippers” doesn’t just insult the victims of the Islamist attack in Sri Lanka, it rubs salt into a wound felt round the world.
The tally of the Sri Lankan bombings on Resurrection Sunday now stands at 290 people with around 500 more wounded (many of that number include Sri Lankan Christians). CNN reported that ‘two suicide bombers perpetrated the attacks hitting three churches and four luxury hotels.’ The Wall Street Journal noted official statements from the Sri Lankan government, who said that the attacks were perpetrated by an Islamist group known as National Thoweeth Jamath. Apart from some formal condemnations from countries such as Indonesia, the Muslim world remains largely silent. While there are live updates from news organizations, including CNN, there’s no…
Academic says, Muslims in Sri Lanka are victims of global “Islamophobic” discourse, after Islamic terrorists slaughter 290 Christians
A senior analyst for the International Crisis Group has warned that Sunday’s Islamic terrorist attacks will feed the sentiment that Muslims are a problem and a threat that needs to be dealt with. Speaking to LBC presenter Eddie Mair, academic Alan Keenan said, “this sentiment has been developing over the last five years, cultivated by a radical militant group of Buddhists, including some monks. Keenan went on to warn, “if strong action isn’t taken and the right messages aren’t sent by the government leaders and religious leaders of all groups, there’s a real possibility of further violence.” Speaking on NPO…
Dozens injured in mass panic after a man storms a Munich church during an Easter service
Up to 24 people have reportedly been injured in a chaotic rush to evacuate a church in Germany after a man stormed the service during Easter celebrations. Initial reports claimed the man entered St Paul church in Munich and set off fireworks inside the building while shouting “Allahu Akbar”. Those reports, however, have not been confirmed. Photographs and video footage of the aftermath were posted to social media, showing the church floor littered in debris. An image also appeared to show the suspect being detained by police at the scene. Germany 🇩🇪 last night at St. Paul church in #munich…
Trump Derangement Syndrome defined: CNN attacks President Trump for a typo in his condolence message to victims in Sri Lanka
CNN’s Brian Stelter has attacked President Donald Trump for a typo in a condolence message the President tweeted to the victims of Sunday’s terrorist attack in Sri Lanka. The President’s tweet, which has since been deleted, unintentionally included the word “million”, saying the terrorist attack “killed at least 138 million people…” Stelter suggested it’s not “just a typo”, because “accuracy matters”. “If someone can’t get the little stuff right, it makes you wonder about the big stuff. It makes you worry about the big stuff,” Stelter went on to say. “In this case, it makes you wonder about the President’s…
Where is the outrage? Imagine if Christians targeted mosques during Ramadan and tried to kill as many Muslims as possible.
More than 200 people have been killed during Easter celebrations in Sri Lanka after a series of coordinated Islamic terrorist attacks were carried out targeting Christian worshipers. The attack has claimed four times as many lives as the recent New Zealand massacre, in which 50 Muslims were gunned down in a Christchurch mosque. Christians in Sri Lanka, similar to Muslims in New Zealand, are a minority. Christians make up just over 6% of the population in Sri Lanka, behind Buddhist, Hindus, and Muslims. In both attacks, a minority group was the target. In both attacks, the victims were targeted in…
At least 138 people killed and almost 500 injured in Easter Sunday church attacks after Muslim group vows to target prominent churches.
At least 138 people are feared dead and almost 500 have been injured in six near-simultaneous explosions that rocked three churches and three hotels in Sri Lanka. The attackers appear to have targeted Easter Sunday services at St Anthony’s Church in Colombo, St Sebastian’s Church in Negombo, and another church in Batticaloa. The Shangri La, Cinnamon Grand and Kingsbury hotels were also hit. At least nine foreign nationals are believed to be among the dead, hospital sources told reporters. Footage circulating on social media shows the roof blown off one of the churches, with the floor littered with debris and…
Muslim threatens to kill Christian evangelist and harm his family, Facebook BANS the victim for sharing a screenshot of the threat
A Christian apologist from the United States was banned by Facebook recently after he shared a screenshot of a death threat he received from a Muslim. David Wood, founder of Acts 17 Apologetics Ministry, posted a video on YouTube this week, accusing the social media giant of repeatedly banning him on “completely bogus charges.” Facebook accused Wood of violating Community Standards on multiple occasions. One violation included posting a famous historic photograph of Adolf Hitler’s meeting with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, for which Wood copped a three-day ban. Hours after the ban was lifted, Facebook accused Wood of violating…
Abortion clinic helps rapist cover-up sexual abuse, aborts seven babies from one teen victim he raped 500 times.
A man in Florida has been accused of raping a young girl hundreds of times and forcing her to have at least seven abortions to cover his crimes. The girl was just 12-years-old when her accused rapist, Leon Norman Wiley Jr., 52, first raped her. Wiley would then go on to rape his victim “500 times” up to “three times a day”, the victim told police. According to the police report obtained by Live Action News, the victim “reported being impregnated approximately seven times during those incidents. Each time she would get pregnant Leon Wiley Jr. would take her to…
A Message to Brian Houston: The World Doesn’t Need More Watered-Down Christians
This week Brian Houston, founder of Hillsong, penned an open letter to Israel Folau criticising the rugby star’s “judgmental” approach to sharing the gospel on social media. Brian then sent the letter to the Sydney Morning Herald who published it under the title: A message to Folau: The world doesn’t need more judgmental Christians. The piece divided opinions, and many, including some of Brian’s own supporters, expressed disappointment in his decision to distance himself from Folau. But that’s not the most concerning aspect of Brian’s letter. Brian doesn’t just take issue with Folau’s approach, he quickly turns his attention to…
The Message of Israel Folau, Notre Dame and Good Friday
It’s wonderful news that all of a sudden Rugby Union Australia believe in God, Heaven and Hell. Many of us had been under the distinct impression they were largely indifferent to Christian theology and doctrine. All that was cleared up marvellously though when they judged the record try scorer of all time, Israel Folau, to be more immoral than the philandering, drunken cokeheads which litter the various Australian football codes. His unconscionable crime was that of claiming to know of an objective standard by which Scripture warns all men are measured, a standard accepted and preached for centuries, if not…
It would be a fatal mistake to reject The Ramsay Centre
My name is Aidan Green. I am a journalist and a proud alumnus of the University of Wollongong with a Bachelor of International Studies. Upon arrival to my degree, I was like everybody else, young, naive and left-wing. It is true what they say about the humanities faculties being taken over by the left. Throughout my three-year degree, I met only one politics lecturer who didn’t make it clear that they were left of centre. It was not until my second year where I began to think more critically and objectively, and it was not until my second year when…
875 Churches in France Targeted Last Year, 1,063 Anti-Christian Acts Recorded, Human Feces Smeared on Crosses, Cemeteries Vandalized
“Hundreds of churches across France have been targeted by anti-Christian “militants” who have set fire to places of worship, stolen property, and smeared feces on walls and crosses.”
The hatred and maliciousness shoved in Folau’s face exemplifies the truth behind the quote he posted
The LGBT community’s grievances and the reason for their sensitivity regarding the Israel Folau controversy are understandable. A non-biblical version of sin has been misused over the years to beat people down, not bring them to faith and repentance. (See Psychiatrist, Karl Menninger’s ‘Whatever Became of Sin?’, 1976) That historical misuse, however, doesn’t justify the unjust writhing and screaming being thrown towards Folau. None of this justifies dehumanizing a man and taking away his bread and butter. None of this justifies any corporation such as Qantas, bullying, via economic sanctions, companies they do business with, such as Rugby Australia. As…
Muslim MP says, there is “no place in society” for people who call Islam a false religion.
A Christian denomination in Scotland has been blasted after their official magazine published an article describing Islam as a ‘false religion’. According to The Times, the “hugely controversial” piece published by the Christian “sect” also went on to describe the Koran as a “lie from Satan sent into the world to deceive.” The piece, titled ‘Islamisation of the UK: The creeping influence of a false religion’, warned about Islamisation of the West and urged Christians to “pray that the Lord would halt the Islamisation of the UK.” “Across our society but unnoticed by many people, are changes which may seem…
How NOT to read the Bible
What do you get when you mix the post-modernism of an SJW with the teachings of Christianity? If you want to find out, then Richard Holloway’s recent book review How to read the Bible (Spectator, 30th March) is a good place to start. There are at least five things you will find there. The first is relativism. Early in the article Holloway outlines one of the Christian controversies about the Bible: the meaning of the very first Chapter, which is about creation. Three parties are described. Firstly, scholars who caution against believing that any of the episodes in the Bible…
The attacks on Israel Folau come from an ignorance of history. Such ignorance invites tyranny.
In August 1939, the Soviets signed a non-aggression treaty with the Nazis. This treaty was called the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact and it allowed the Soviets room to explore Stalin’s expansionist policies. Largely hidden behind the grotesque Abyss of National Socialism’s dark reach for Europe in 1940, Stalin’s Communist forces moved into Poland and Finland. The Soviet offensive against Poland began in September, 1939; the offensive against Finland (known as The Winter War) began in November. Unlike, Poland, Finland had the benefit of only fighting a war on one front. ‘The Winter War’ ended five months later. Finland lost some territory, but…
