The typical liberal misunderstanding of the Christian religion is that Christians shouldn’t judge anybody. This misinterpretation comes from a superficial reading of Rabbi Yashua’s (Jesus’) teaching where He said: “Judge not, that ye be not judged…” (Lk. 7:1-5). But when read IN CONTEXT it’s understood that God will hold us to a standard as [...]

Understanding Atheism
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008Atheism is perhaps the most misunderstood category in the range of beliefs on the market. It can be a difficult to define, incorporating, under its umbrella, a host of attitudes about the non-existence of god.
