Hitchens attacks Gore Vidal for being a ‘crackpot’

February 7th, 2010

Christopher Hitchens ought to know how to spot a crackpot! Mr. Hitchens enjoys some sort of success by peddling the same vitriol and clap-trap he decries in others.

There is a small bit of a feud playing across the pond.

“It does seem like a kind of bizarre personal vendetta being carried out on the pages of Vanity Fair, replete with factual inaccuracies and not very much substance.”

“Factual inaccuracies and not very much substance” seems to be the stock and trade of Mr. Hitchens! And it is correct that Mr. Hitchens makes money from “the crank-revisionist and denialist history he is now peddling."

One man is a literary genius and the other a philosopher. These so-called intellectuals, read that as we’re smart – you are dumb, have tangled themselves into the tin-hat crowd.

Ask yourself, do these two men really encourage you to live a better life? I thought not. So do we really care when the intellectual elite fight amongst themselves?

Sorry I brought it up! ;)

Brit Hume’s Firestorm with American Pastors

January 7th, 2010

Usually television is a huge sewer pipe running into peoples’ homes. But, there is something terribly wrong when a pastor has a problem with truth being proclaimed on television. Seriously… there are pastors who have a problem with Brit Hume and the statements he made on nationally televised news programs?

The bible tells us there will be scoffers (2 Peter 3:3) in the last days… and this “firestorm” has truly identified many of them. And as times marches to its climax, the bible also warns of increasing delusion. Even to the point that some of the very elect may be fooled, if possible. (Matthew 24:4-26, 2 Thessalonians 2:5-11)

I think it is refreshing to have this issue discussed on a channel other than the Laodicean TBN! It also helps us to identify those shepherds who may have been deceived. After all, like me, they are dust, and will make mistakes. Let us follow Jesus, and not others as they follow Jesus.

Jesus didn’t say preach it except when you are working or are a government employee. There were no exceptions.

In fact, let us pray for boldness in sharing our own faith! Ephesians 6:19-20
