March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

"Students in South Carolina and across the country are being encouraged to take their Bibles to school on Thursday, October 16, for the first-ever “Bring Your Bible to School Day.” While there have been controversies in South Carolina and other states over religion in schools, this one might not cause any problems.

Freedom From Religion Foundation staff attorney Patrick Elliott says, "Students have the right to bring books and materials to school, just as they would any other materials. The Bible would be perfectly fine." That group has sued the Pickens County school district and Richland-Lexington 5 in South Carolina over sanctioned graduation prayers and Christian prayers before school board meetings.

“Bring Your Bible to School Day” was created by Focus on the Family and is being promoted here by the Palmetto Family Council. Dr. Oran Smith says, "There have been cases where sharing your faith or sharing a religious Christian message has been frowned upon and students have gotten in trouble for promoting their faith. So this is an example to make it clear that that's not the case in America; you can still bring your Bible and share your faith and be a Christian in the school."

He says one student in another state was stopped from handing out at Christmas candy canes with Bible verses attached, and other students were told they couldn't pray over their meals in a public school lunchroom.

In May of this year, a teacher in Fort Lauderdale, Florida told a 12-year-old student he couldn't read his Bible in class during free reading time. A month earlier, a 15-year-old student in St. Louis, Missouri was told by a teacher that she couldn't read her Bible as she walked down the school hallway. The district later said that she could.

Smith says this will be an annual event, probably sometime in October every year."
