A Christian Thinker

David Zucker known for his satire and movie comedies such as “Airplane” and “Naked Gun” has recently created another parody titled “An America Carol.”  He takes up against far-left loons and anti-Americanism in Hollywood. It is about time that someone like Zucker and minority of other conservative film makers and actors to simply engage these prejudice and bias  idiocies that are purported against Americans themselves and its political policies. Anti-Americanism in Hollywood is a wide phenomenon which occurs simultaneously in the movies we see. Stop these loonies and start making, sensible, intelligent, fantastic, creative non-bias films! So, I’m glad that someone like David Zucker have courage to stand-up against the tide of liberal hate steaming from the likes of Michael Moore, Rosie O’Donnell, and the rest of these loonies. An American Carol ought to be very interesting besides from being anti anti-Americanism because the actors who are involve are mostly conservatives too such as Jon Voight, Kevin Farley (brother of Chris Farley), Kelsey Grammer, James Wood, Dennis Hopper, Jillian Murray, Leslie Nielsen etc. I can’t hardly wait for this movie to come out this October. Way to go. Two thumbs up!

Highly acclaimed international Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård has been interviewed (you can read the article here dagen.se)about faith and God. He wasn’t religious and according to him “believing in God is tantamount to believing in Santa Claus.” Now, one wonders what did he meant by that? Did he meant That God and Santa Claus have similarities in essence and personalities? Because obviously this is not the case. Or did Skarsgård simply mean that both (Santa and God) are nothing but child wishful thinking. A fantasy perhaps? Either way, God is not a fantasy nor a child wishful thinking. No reasonable adult person believes in the existence of a far-off being such as Santa Claus. God who is revealed in the Bible and is worshipped by Christians on the other hand does not fit in a fantasy character. There are lots of reason why God does not fit in this category because such a being – who is demanding, holy, just and casts people to hell by there own admission – cannot possibly be just a mere delusion. 

Furthermore, God or Yahweh and Santa Claus, theologically speaking, doesn’t even have the same origin, attributes and character. Santa is a mythical figure while Jehovah is not and is the creator of the cosmos. Skarsgård said that while reading the Bible and the Qur’an he found these two religious books to be horrible and even scary. But of course, he hasn’t provided the interviewer which part of the Bible or Qur’an that contained horrible and scary story. One can almost sense his apathy of not wanting to investigate the Scripture further and thoroughly in instead of just reading and treat the Bible as if it just a simple director’s manuscript. Skarsgård also mentioned from the interview that he was critical and have a negative view with religions but then he noted that he was more interested in religious mysticism. So much for being a non-religious guy! He even criticizes President George W. Bush for believing In God to be morally inconsistent but where does Skarsgård derived his morality (what is right and wrong) if the All-knowing, perfect God of the Scripture doesn’t exists? Whose morality is he trying to propose? Stellan Skarsgård is perhaps a notable actor but he is an awful theologian.

I have just read an eye-popping article on a guy who deliberately mocks and loves to ridicule Christians in particular who obviously doesn’t even have a bachelor’s degree in theology yet received a honorary doctorate in theology in one of Sweden’s respected universities at Lund university. Homosexual Jonas Gardell a stand-up comedian by profession and author who wrote a book recently called “About God.”

From what I have read from other commentators, his thesis in this book wasn’t even near to Christian orthodoxy but clattered with early Christian heresies and even have a flavor of early gnosticism theologically speaking. It also contains fallacious and fatal hermeneutics (the discipline of correct interpretation). But how on earth a guy such as Gardell who clearly disagrees most if not all biblical Christianity and its doctrines can even receive an honorary doctorate in theology. Something is wrong here.

This guy is planning to write more books but the subject will be focused on “Jesus” (probably not the biblical and historical Jesus that are recorded in the four Gospels) I haven’t read his book and probably wont, I would rather spend my money somewhere else. If anyone of you wants me to review his book About God you just gotta have to send it to me and I be more than happy to give it a critical evaluation.

It’s time for us to set aside hate, bigotry and hypocrisy and start dealing with the real issues at hand. The real issue here is not about Christians hating other different view such as those of homosexual, bisexual and transgender identity. We do not hate homosexuals! Rather, its about love, compassion and morality for the sake of our children that Christians do not agree with them. Its time for both side to call for real or true tolerance. But, the etymology of the word “tolerance” has not properly been understood and this per se causes lot of confusions. True Tolerance in its etymological value simply means “not accepting other view, but respecting those who happens to have that view.” Also, Christians want honest, fair, and well-intentioned discussion or debate with the homosexual community without being bullied and silenced by ad-hominems (name calling) such as bigots, Nazis, racist, and homophobic. These labels towards those who oppose them is repugnat and offensive. We Christians want to have a fair, well-intentioned, rational debate with the homosexual community. Again, we do not hate homosexuals, we just don’t agree with them.

Christian bashers has done it again! The art exhibition “Ecce-Homo” somewhere in Växjö describes Christians as Nazis and rape perpetrators! You know what, this does not surprise me at all. Militant homosexual lobbyists has been pushing there agenda through provocations and sometimes intimidation. This is the fruits from a “democratic” society where people who opposed homosexual lifestyle are marginalized and bullied. Christianity in particular here in Sweden has been the target of antagonizing and hostility. Christians should unite against this pathetic anti-Christian attitudes. One must be able to say, Enough is enough! But no, Christian who would want to stand against the mainstream of propaganda by militant homosexual activists will pretty much taste its fury and rage. Soon after that, you’ll end up in prison just by opposing and disagreeing with the homosexual parties. Forget about freedom of religion and freedom of speech here in Sweden and even if Swedes still believes that Sweden is a democratic state such as the U.S. they are actually living in delusional state. Imprisonment by not agreeing and criticizing homosexuals with there lifestyle is hardly a sign of democracy it is a sign of oppression and fascism! Even if our enemy hates us we must always remember what Jesus told us, “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.” (Matt. 5:44)

We all have heared the term “homophobic” and “islamophobic.” These labeling are commonly used to those who happens to oppose other life style or religion. every time there is debate about homosexuality between pro-homosexual activists against, let say a Christian, one will notice that not everyone are open to discussion. They tend to be more aggressive and even outright hostile and call you names such as  “bigot,” or “homophobic.” Yet these people are self named tolerant. They believe that tolerance is virtue. But what they really mean by “tolerant” is that they tolerate only those who agree with them but would not tolerate with those who disagree with their lifestyle!

What about being “islamophobic?” Well, in Sweden, it is a sacrilegious to criticize or even question Islam. If one doubts the Islamic integrity and its role in politics for instance, you’re labeled as intolerant, bigoted and even islamophobic. You’re an islamophobe if you try to convince a Muslim that his/her religion is wrong. This is what you get from a “democratic” state a label and name calling. Its seems now a day that criticizing other religion such as Islam is unconstitutional.

Sweden is a democratic country, well supposed to be democratic country. If Sweden were once a land of free speech, and religious freedom it isn’t now. Islamic faith is getting favor while Christianity is being marginalized and even suppressed. Christians are bullied without hesitation and respect. Homosexual activists and leftists abhor Christianity and all its tradition. This hostility towards the Christian faith is pretty obvious and clear in media, newspaper and even within the political arena. Now aren’t they who call Christians such as “homophobic,” or Islammophobic” are “Christianophobic?”

There is indeed difference between atheist and antitheist. The former tends more to concentrate on rationality,  and logic in criticizing religion in general and Christianity in particular. Antitheist on the other hand is nothing of this sort. An antitheist may use logic in reasoning but chose not to. Instead, you’ll hear just about any foul language, unsupported anger, hate, and antagonistic attitude towards opponents or those who happens to disagree with him or her. Antitheist can be labeled as either “militant atheist,” “new atheist” or “fundamentalist atheist.” In any case all three categories fits of what antitheist can be describe.

Theists and Christians of course shouldn’t be bothered, and get intimidated by antitheists’  hostile attitude. The reason why, I think, they turned to be more antagonistic in their attitude towards Christians is because they know fully well, that the majority of thinking people doesn’t buy there reasoning and ideology. They know that the antitheistic world and life view is unliveable, incoherent, irrational and even dangerous to even pressume its philosophy. They, the antitheists, are getting desperate to be heared. They want more attention. And attention is what they get.

But, a word of caution is appropiate here. While we shoudn’t be intimedated by antitheists we shoudn’t likewise over- and underestimate them. We should not relax and fallback and think that everything is alright because it is far from it. We are in the middle of culture war here. They, antiChristians, are getting foothold just about everywhere and they are out to destroy those who have faith in Christ Jesus.
