LSN: Norway shooter supported abortion for disabled babies
LINK
Some Christian. He obviously wasn't if he held such odious views. But, I'm not holding my breath that any of the mainstream media outlets are going to get this one right.
While the mainstream media attempts to paint Anders Behring Breivik, the terrorist bomber and shooter who killed over 76 people in Oslo last week, as a “fundamentalist Christian,” a 1,500 page document he wrote reveals not only that he did not consider himself a Christian believer, but that he was a mason, held such anti-Christian views as supporting abortion for disabled babies, and that he also hired a prostitute prior to his killing rampage.
The horrific death toll and monstrous methods employed by Breivik in his killing spree have been followed by outrageous attempts to paint him as a conservative Christian, a characterization that has the potential to lead to a backlash against faithful Christians in Europe and elsewhere.

So-called "New Atheists" motivated by hatred of God
Yes, you heard that right.
I'm going to keep this post simple; the so-called "New Atheist" movement (though there really isn't anything new about it) taps into not just doubts about the existence of God (who is real, praise be to Him) but by outright hatred. How do I know this? Read on.
I received a message from my girlfriend that her friend was distressed because she saw a stamp accusing God of being a child murderer and calling Him an "immoral monster" who should "burn in his own hell". It pains me to put such blasphemous bile on my blog, but I must to illustrate the point.
Does that sound like reason to you? No, it sounds more like a person who hates someone. In this case, the person, I can only deduce, hates God. Such a view is becoming so common amongst non-believers, I daresay that it is their creed, alongside such reliable standbys as religious believers as stupid, violent robots and the world being better off without faith.
Why do I draw attention to this? Because, forgive me my melodrama, but when the Nazis spread filth about the Jews, everyone was told to ignore it. We all know how well that turned out. I don't suggest something similar will happen, but when hate rears it's ugly head, it must be identified and opposed. We are all worse off if we don't.
Heavenly Father, soften the hearts of those who hate You and Your Son and all who follow You, and grant them peace and guide them along the path to truth and salvation.

CIVB to the NFLPA and team owners: SHUT UP AND PLAY FOOTBALL!!!
Day in and day out for the past month I've heard no new football news other than the never ending "labor talks" between the NFLPA (aka the most pointless union ever formed) and team owners. I've had to listen about the players whining that they're not making enough money besides having multimillion dollar contracts, and the owners calling a completely pointless lockout over something that should have been solved in an afternoon (other than no guaranteed contracts for rookies there's nothing wrong with the NFL).
I'm finally sick of it all. The players need to sign the new CBA and get back to playing football or I'm not going to bother watching at all. My mother just finally got to see her dream and got tickets to a Patriots game against the Redskins. I want my mom to see that game.
Plus, the greed is astounding to me. What, the millions the players make a season aren't enough? You want more? What's it gonna be, contracts worth billions of dollars? I can honestly foresee that happening someday, what with what the players are being paid now. Most of us fans can see through the dog-and-pony show that the owners and players are putting on. It's all about making money and nothing else. I'm sick of it. The fans who scrimp and save every season to go to one game a year deserve better than this garbage.
If nothing comes of this, if the players refuse the new deal, I will not watch a single football game this season. I mean not even one. Not even when my Patriots are playing. If the season is cancelled, I'm done with football forever.
What's it gonna be guys? You gonna play or what? Cuz I'm done with you.

Are you kidding me? Please tell me you're kidding me?

You're whining because you can't get porn in prison? When last I looked, prison wasn't a place where you were supposed to get enjoyable things because, well, you're being punished.
How dare this man try to twist the Constitution into knots in order to feed his porn addiction while serving prison time.
DETROIT, July 8, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A man serving time in Macomb County jail for bank robbery is suing Governor Rick Snyder and the State of Michigan on the grounds that depriving him of porn while locked up is “inhumane and unconstitutional.”
In his lawsuit, filed in federal court, Kyle Richards, 21, said the state’s ban on most forms of pornography in state prisons reduces his standard of living and subjects him to “sexual and sensory deprivation.”
Richards was charged with bank robbery in January after police followed a trail of cash and snowy footprints from the scene of the alleged crime to his apartment in Fraser, Mich.
Richards pleaded guilty last week in Macomb County Circuit Court and is scheduled to be sentenced on August 2.
