Sign the Petition: Act in the case of Meriam Ibrahim in Sudan and her baby and toddler in prison.

The petition reads thus:

We strongly urge the administration to take action in the case of Dr. Meriam Ibrahim, the Sudanese mother who with her toddler and newborn baby (who pending the proper documentation are American citizens) is languishing inside a prison in Khartoum. While Meriam awaits execution for the “crime” of converting to Christianity, her children are forced to be at her side in a prison that a 2008 U.N. document reported as having an infant mortality rate of one per day in the summer. No innocent child should be in this situation. We urge you to pressure the Sudanese government to release Meriam and her children so she can escape execution and possible death of her children and be rejoined with her husband in the U.S. Please grant her expedited safe haven in the U.S., where she could seek asylum.

Obama's Judicial Struggle to Be god

March 25 is a classic case of Christ vs. Caesar, and will be fought in the Supreme Court. Show your support for Hobby Lobby’s freedom to run their private business in terms of their ethical stance against being forced to pay for abortion-causing services for their employees.

Israel Providing "Free" Abortions

People have wondered for an entire term and one half if Israel and the Obama administration would ever find common ground. Well, now they have it: Tax-supported, “free” abortions!

One also wonders if even this will provide a sufficient stumbling block to stunt the millions of dollars spent each year by nutty Christian Zionists supporting the nation of Israel. To think that the same fundamentalists who are marching on Washington, fighting against tax funded abortion in the U.S., will in turn still send support for Israel is unfathomable. Well, if the idea that their monies are used to supply artillery to the Israeli military, which has undoubtedly killed innumerable Palestinian Christians, I doubt this will thwart their earthy Zionist dreams either.

C. Ben Mitchell, a professor of moral philosophy at Union Univ. in Jackson, TN, nailed it. “Israel has been wracked by bloodshed for centuries. It seems almost unimaginable that the state would now fund violence in the womb.”

Deus misereatur!!

Fighting the Good Fight of the Faithful

Anugrah Kumar of The Christian Post reports, “The Obama administration on Friday filed a brief, urging the Supreme Court to strike down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act, which keeps the federal government from recognizing same-sex couples legally married in states, and calling the law unconstitutional.”

Let us therefore fight this further attack on normative values with the mightiest weapons we have!  “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds” (2 Cor. 10:3—4). All of the Right’s lobbying and protest is impotent, without recognizing and fighting the spiritual darkness back of the personalities and powers.  So, let us, “in one accord,” pray for courts of justice in our land.

ALMIGHTY God, who sittest in the throne judging right; We humbly beseech thee to bless the courts of justice and magistrates in all this land; and give unto them a spirit of wisdom and understanding, that they may discern the truth, and impartially administer the law in the fear of thee alone; through him who shall come to be our Judge, they Son, our Savior Jesus Christ.  Amen! (BCP, 1928, pp. 35—36). 

How Long, until we will hear the voice of Wisdom, who beckons us, saying, “Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.  Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding” (Prov. 9:4—6)?
