Persuasion using, lies, “fuzzy” math, and manipulation. Replacing the truth with lies. Creating truth rather than voicing it. What the biased media uses to “report” the news and persuade you. What has replaced traditional education in the public schools and universities in this country, and based on assumptions and hypothesis rather than truth.
Propaganda is what the liberals, politicians, and the media like to use to convince you that the war in Iraq is over oil or that George W. Bush is "evil" or that 9-1-1 was a government conspiracy---all hogwash crap based on crap.

Get the propaganda mug.The Good Book. The number-one selling book of all time. The living, breathing, inspired Word of God. God's message to us on how we can find the only way to him---through Jesus his Son, so we can obtain salvation. Composed of the New and Old Testaments and 66 smaller “books,” the Bible was written over thousands of years from Moses (who wrote Genesis) around 3000 BC to John the Revelator (who wrote Revelation) at the end of the first century. The general theme of the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is that human beings are stuck in the middle of a spiritual war between God and Satan for the souls of mankind. Luckily, the Cross of Jesus Christ, the central figure of the Bible, allows human beings to choose which side they will swear allegience to. The Old Testament looks FORWARD to a coming Messiah and the Cross for our redmeption, while the New Testament looks BACK at the Cross. The Bible opens with the creation of the Universe and “the fall” of mankind and finishes with the Great White Throne Judgement, when all evil (including Satan and his followers) will be thrown into the Lake of Fire, putting an end to evil once and for all. The Bible is used for reporoof, for correction, for teaching and instructing in the way that human beings need to live. The Bible calls itself a “sword,” proving that it is very divsive among people. Yes, the truth will be divisive but effective to save the lost. People have tried to disprove it for centuries but it will never happen. Its message will NEVER be destroyed as it claims, proving to be the true Word of God Almighty.

Get the Bible mug.The American media that distorts the news into propaganda, in order to get high ratings. The drive-by media has told us: blacks were denied the right to vote in Florida during the 2000 election, that New Orleans floods after/during hurricane Katrina resulted from white people blowing up levees to destroy black neighborhoods, that 9-1-1 was a government conspiracy and an “inside “job”, that Bush “lied” about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction just so he could invade Iraq and make amends for his father’s war, that global warming is going to exterminate human beings from the earth, that the war in Iraq is only for oil, and that bigger government is the answer to improving your life. Basically, the drive-by media specializes in brainwashing and charcater assassination.
The drive by media specializes in distortions of the facts in the name of "ratings." The funny thing is that many people are nieve and believe what they are told.

Get the Drive by media mug.What I don't do or ever will because women can't stand my presence. A complete waste of time for someone actually wanting to get in a serious relationship with someone. Nothing but an act between two fake people trying to put their best foot forward and impress each other so they can potentially jump each other's bones. In Western culture dating is a precursor to marriage but, ironically, will do no more for you in getting to know a person than watching a sport on tv will make you a professional ballplayer. It's also an incredible waste of time because getting together for a romantic rondezvous or outing will do next to nothing in making you connect emotionally or spiritually.
Dating is a new phenomenon and didn't come around until the mid to late 20th century. Before the era of dating, a couple would often "court" each other or marriages were even prearranged. If one is religious, especially with someone who practices Christianity, dating is NOT Biblical because not only does dating usually result in heartache when the two persons involved go their seperate ways, but there is no comitment between the two parties. It was never practiced for cultural reasons. For Christians, dating is not Biblical because God himself does not want people to experience the emptiness and heartache it often brings. For the secular world, however, dating is as normal as taking a nap.
Dating CAN lead to marriage but usually doesn't, unlike courting.

Dating is pointless in my opinion. It usually doesn't work and is a futile effort in actually getting to know someone on an emotional or spiritual level. Dating is stupid!

Get the dating mug.Forget New Nork. Chicago is better! It has everything New York does (including a a large Stock Exchange) except with friendlier people and a more affordable cost of living. Chicago has anything and everything: a better location in the center of the country, culture, quisine (like Chicago Deep Dish Pizza and the Gold Coast Dog), education, mass transit, enormous lakefront, an IVY league university, architecture (Chicago has America's tallest building while New York does not), China Town, shopping- especially on Michigan Avenue, sports teams (dont forget 'da Bears!), the world's 2nd busiest airport, the Chicago Symphony, The Museum of Science and Industry, the Adler Planetarium, the Art Institute and dont forget numerous jobs of all types. Chicago may only be one-third the size of New York but it can kiss Chicago's ass.

Get the cheap bastard mug.The events surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem. Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary in Bethlehem and placed in a manger in an act of humility. We are taught in Sunday School that Jesus was born in a manger and that three wisemen made a long journey to the manger. But Bible scholars, researchers and historians are finding, while these events were true, our understanding of the events is actually a bit different than what history dictates. Here are some myths surrounding the Nativity:
1. Jesus was not born on DEC 25. According to Messianic prophecy and the Jewish calendar, Jesus was born sometime during the spring. DEC 25 would have also been much too cold for the shepards to be out at night. DEC 25 is just the day chosen by the early church to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Historians have found the Roman Census mentioned in Matthew and Luke (which was the reason Joseph and Mary migrated to Bethlehem), took place in the spring around 5 BC. This would be a huge clue that Jesus was born around that time.
2. There were NOT three wisemen as we are led to believe. The Bible does not mention three--it only mentions that there were wismen bearing three gifts. We don’t know the real number of wisemen, but we give it as three because of the three gifts.
3. The wisemen were actually astrologers from Persia who made a long journey westward to Bethlehem, perhaps as long as a year before they saw the Christ child. The astrologers saw the “star” as a sign of the birth and followed it to Bethlehem. They knew this “star” was the divine sign.
4. The “star” the magi followed was actually the planets Jupiter, Saturn and the next closest star appearing extremely close together, appearing as a single bright star. Astronomers confirm this fact as happening around 4 BC (which also corresponds to the time of the Roman census around 4-5 BC).
5. The wisemen (majii) did NOT come to the manger as tradition says. Luke Chapter 2 specifically states they came to the HOUSE where Joseph and Mary were staying, just a few days after his birth. After their visit, they were warned in a dream not to return to King Herod for their safety.

The Nativity story is the greatest story ever told and is a humble story of God's love for the souls of mankind. The Nativity story IS Christmas.
