Pastor Steve

"I hope that God strikes Barack Obama with brain cancer so he can die like Ted Kennedy and I hope it happens today."

The above quote is from Pastor Steve Anderson of Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona, in a sermon entitled, "Why I Hate Barack Obama." I find this man and his followers disturbing, not only because of what he says, but because he claims to be a Christian.

"I'm gonna pray that he dies and goes to hell when I go to bed tonight. That's what I'm gonna pray."

No, I'm not going to say I like Obama, but I don't wish him death and damnation. Firstly, because, God wishes that all men might come to the knowing salvation of Him, and secondly, Joe Biden as president freaks me out even more than Obama. Christian's should pray that Obama repents of his sins and becomes a Christian, not that he dies and goes to hell.

"Look up the word hate. Look up the word abhor, the word loathe. You'll see there are a lot of people that God hates, and so we should hate. But see, I didn't write that, that's in the Bible."

Where? In Luke 6:27-29? "But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either." Hmmmmm... sounds a little different than what Pastor Steve is saying. Does God hate? Yes, he hates that which is evil and those who have violated His laws and do not repent. But he does not tell us to hate others. We can have righteous anger, but do not hate. Obama is a lost soul, the same as everyone else, including Pastor Steve. Pastor Steve should stop preaching his gospel of hate and actually become a Christian, because right now, he is just making Christians look like hypocrites.

I thought the Wii was supposed to be family friendly...

I have been under the impression that the Wii is more family friendly than the Xbox 360 or Play Station 3, but now I'm not so sure. I was recently surfing the internet when I came upon a couple of questionable games. The first game wasn't that big of surprise for me. It was Cursed Mountain, and basically teaches kids all about buddhism. Yay! It is a horror game or something designed specifically for the Wii. "Players will immerse themselves in the local Buddhist traditions and rituals" and is "designed to mimic the physical aspects of sacred prayer rituals, mantras, and gestures of Buddhism" Okay, it is rated M for mature, meaning that you have to be over 17 to buy the game, but realistically, 10 year old kids will be playing this game, learning how to be little buddhists.

The second game shocked me completely. It is a WiiWare game entitled Sexy Poker. WiiWare means that the game is downloaded off of the Wii's Wi-Fi network. It's basically strip poker with anime girls. The biggest complaint from people is that they only strip down to their underwear. I don't even know what to say about that game, but I do know that Nintendo isn't the family friendly company that they advertise themselves to be. At least not for any family that has Christian morals and values. In conclusion, parents have to supervise their childrens' video games even if they are on a Wii.

Michael Vick Returning to NFL

I don't understand the big deal about Michael Vick returning to the NFL. He was deep into dog fighting. Dogs got killed and maimed. He served jail time, but people think he shouldn't be allowed to return to football. Child molesters often get less jail time than he did, why doesn't anyone care about them? Hundreds of babies are getting murdered every day under the guise of woman's choice, yet no one in the media cares. Michael Jackson molests little boys, yet is basically worshiped after he overdoses and dies on medication. Something is wrong with our culture when dogs are valued over children. People need to wake up and give Michale Vick a break. Was it something that he should get punished for? Yes, but their are much worse things that are going unpunished.
