Andrea Tantaros: Liberals Indicting Entire Religion… Christian White Republicans

In the wake of the Planned Parenthood terrorist attack, there was another sort of concern that Fox hosts raised. Some thought the left was too quick to jump to conclusions about the man shooting up a Planned Parenthood.



Ana Kasparian (The Point) and John Iadarola (Think Tank), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down.

"Fox News host Andrea Tantaros blasted liberals on Monday for “indicting an entire religion” of “Christian white Republicans” following last week’s domestic terror attacks on a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado.

“I think this was pretty predictable,” Tantaros said. “You saw on Twitter a lot of people rushing to judgement. The same people who hesitate using the phrase Islamic terrorism were very quick to use the term ‘Christian’.”..

Fox News contributor Rachel Campos-Duffy argued that liberals were trying to tie the attacks to the anti-abortion movement as a plot to derail upcoming congressional hearings on Planned Parenthood.

“They are deeply embarrassed about these videos,” she insisted. “It pulled the curtain on what really happens in the back rooms of those abortion clinics. And that’s what this is about, they want to muzzle us.”

Tantaros added that “the left” wanted to stop all talk about “the illegal harvesting of baby parts on the off chance that some lunatic out there might hear that rhetoric and decide to go shoot up a clinic.””*

Crazy Tennessee Baptists Will Make You Smile

Baptist pastors ranted, whooped, and stormed across the pulpit before a cheering crowd last week at a teen camp meeting.

Satan and Equal Rights are Kind of The Same Thing

A Tennessee pastor said this week that his church was “not trying to offend anyone” when it put up a sign linking “equal rights” to Satan.

Members of the community expressed outrage over the weekend after photos of marquee outside the Knoxville Baptist Tabernacle Church were circulated online. The sign read, “Remember, Satan was the first to demand equal rights.”

“Who was your target audience? Who were you speaking to when you put it up there?” Knoxville resident Rick Staples, asked, according to WBIR. “And when you say you’re asking for your equal rights, who’s asking for their equal rights and who are you comparing to Satan? That was very strong language.”

Andy Henry said that the church was trying to make a statement about gay rights.

Debate Topic: Which Better Explains Reality? Atheism or Theism?

Silverman asks Turek, "Why Did God Setup Adam With the Tree of Knowledge?" Turek avoids that question. Basically, God being all-knowing knew ahead of time that despite the warnings he would give to Adam & Eve, they are still going to eat the apple. What was the purpose of creating this tree of knowledge? Who was it meant for to be eaten by? At the time, Adam & Eve were the only 2 people in the garden.

Obviously this tree of knowledge was specifically created to be eaten by Adam & Eve. They did exactly what god wanted them to do, It was God's choice to create and place the tree where he knew the outcome he desired would take place. This has nothing to do with "Free Will" of Adam & Eve because the choice and outcome were all determined by The Christian God.

Is Santa Satan?

“A Georgia pastor warned over the weekend that children who believe in Santa Claus could grow up to be atheists.

Many Christians in Harlem, Georgia said that they were outraged last week after the Born Again Independent Baptist Church changed its sign to read “Santa is Satan.”

In an interview on Sunday, Pastor Edward Carothers explained to WRDW that he posted the message because “Santa Claus is robbing Christ of his glory.”"

Do You Know God?

Billions of people claim to “know” God. How could they all be wrong? Simple. Just listen to them. If ten people claim to know your friend Jimmy, yet they all describe Jimmy in different, incompatible ways, then either they don’t know Jimmy, or Jimmy has been doing some lying.

Southern Baptist Pastor embraces gay son. Congregation reacts in a surprising way

A Southern Baptist Pastor did something remarkable not too long ago. Danny Cortez, a pastor in California, told his congregation that he no longer accepted the church's teachings on homosexuality. He didn't think it was a sin to be gay. He said that just a couple days after his own son came out publicly as gay so it was personal for him.

The reaction was kind of what you would expect. The church decided they would vote on whether Cortez could still be their pastor, whether he would still have a job.

But the amazing thing is that they voted to keep him. And they changed their own rules instead. They now allow members to hold LGBT-affirming beliefs. The church is now called a Third Way church, meaning they agree to disagree on "controversial" issues like gay marriage.



It couldn't have happened at a more important time either, because the Southern Baptist Convention just met this past weekend and a major SBC leader Al Mohler denounced Cortez and his church. He said there can't be a third way. There's the biblical way... or the way that'll send you to hell.

This is precisely the sort of thinking that causing so many young people to leave Southern Baptist churches. And it's not going to get any better while people like Mohler are in charge.

So yay!

By the way, I've heard a lot of criticism of Pastor Cortez saying that it shouldn't have taken him having a gay son for him to change his mind on this. He should just realize that all gay people are somebody's sons or daughters. That's a fair point. But you know what? That's how a lot of people with bigoted views change. They happen to know someone who's gay and, all of a sudden, it becomes an issue they have to deal with directly. It's not just something that happens over there. It's not abstract. They have to deal with their stereotypes being proven wrong right in front of their faces.

And by the way, it's not even a correct criticism in this case, because Cortez had changed his mind BEFORE his son came out to him.

But let's say that wasn't true. So what if it took a gay son for him to change his own mind. At least he had the courage to change it. And good for him for standing up for his son when he might have lost his job over it.

Corpus Christi atheist debate

Report on the atheist billboards in Corpus Christ, Texas, with the message "Don't believe in God? You are not alone" sponsored by the South Texas Coalition of Reason.

Listen to talkback from the viewers and the prist Ronny Marriott from First Baptist Church of Corpus Christ.

Ronny Marriott: "I hate to see it when groups use that freedom that we have of speach to put a negative message to spread what I believe to be lies".

Once again: The message on the billboards is "Don't believe in God? You are not alone". What the negative and lie is in that message, I think you have to be Christian to find.

Pastor Robert Jeffress calls Mormonism a Cult

Evangelical pastor Robert Jeffress stole the Friday news cycle with his comments that Mitt Romney, as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, was a "non-Christian" in a "cult"-- shortly after having introduced Rick Perry as speaker at the Values Voter Summit. Jeffress elaborated on his comments last night to CNN's Anderson Cooper in an interview where he argued Catholicism defied the New Testament and suggested President Obama's "purported" Christianity was not enough to sway his vote.
