The parent company of Fox News Channel and Fox Entertainment Group is coming under fire for airing a program on Fox Television Sunday night that blasphemed Christ.
The show “Family Guy” created an episode called “The 2,000 Year Old Virgin” in what the show was considering their “Christmas episode.”
The cartoon has Peter Griffin, the father of the show’s central family, finding out that Jesus is a virgin and then in a parody of the movie “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” seeks out to arrange for Jesus to lose his virginity.
“After running into Jesus at the Quahog Mall, Peter is stunned to discover that the Son of God is still a virgin,” a description of the episode outlines. “So, he enlists Quagmire and Cleveland to help him throw Jesus the best birthday ever by finding a way to help him become a man.”
The show then has the Jesus character admit he lies to men about being a virgin so he can sleep with their wives. At the end of the show when Peter and Lois thank Jesus for teaching them a lesson about resisting temptation, Jesus says he’s fake.
“Who cares? I’m not even real. Merry Christmas,” he says.
The show’s creator, Seth McFarlane, has spoken before of his bigotry toward Christians.
“I consider myself a critical thinker, and it fascinates me that in the 21st century most people still believe in, as George Carlin puts it, ‘the invisible man living in the sky,” he said.
A group of Australians are calling for the Bible to be banned at retail outlets that are refusing to carry a sexually explicit, violent video game.
The anti-Bible group is claiming that the Bible is just as bad as the video game and therefore should be banned at any location that does not carry the game. They say that Christians are just trying to earn “God points” by obeying scripture that calls for violence against women.
Kmart and Target stores in the country announced they will not be carrying a new version of the video game Grand Theft Auto Five, which was released last month for two new game systems. The ban came after a petition of 50,000 asked for the game to not be carried because it is a “sickening game that encourages players to commit sexual violence and kill women.”
“Games like this are grooming yet another generation of boys to tolerate violence against women. It is fueling the epidemic of violence experienced by so many girls and women in Australia—and globally,” reads the petition.
“We have firsthand experience of this kind of sexual violence. It haunts us, and we’ve been trying to rebuild our lives ever since,” the petition continues. “Just knowing that women are being portrayed as deserving to be sexually used by men and potentially murdered for sport and pleasure—to see this violence that we lived through turned into a form of entertainments is sickening and causes us great pain and harm.”
A New York anesthesiologist is under arrest after police say he forced a woman to take an abortion pill.
Thomas Pfeiffer, 44, reportedly grabbed a woman by the throat, choking her until she opened her mouth. When she did, he forced an abortion pill into her mouth and made her swallow it.
The woman had told Pfeiffer that she was pregnant because she had taken a home pregnancy test that returned a positive result.
Pfeiffer faces charges of strangulation, abortion and assault. The strangulation and abortion charges are second degree felonies. He was placed in county jail on $50,000 bond.
The woman was treated and released from an area hospital. Police would not release if the woman suffered an abortion because of the drug.
The Satanic Temple of New York will have a prominent place at the Florida State Capitol building during the Christmas season.
The group will be posting a display for “Festivus”, a fake holiday created on a television sitcom. The display from the group will be a six foot tall stack of beer cans.
The display had been rejected last year by the Florida Department of Management Services as being “grossly offensive.” There was no explanation by the group this year why the display was given approval.
A spokesman for the Satanists said the difference was that this year the group showed up with lawyers.
Christian groups say that these outside groups posting displays are not doing it to wish well to residents during the holiday season.
“This is not a religious endorsement by our state government. It’s freedom of religion and freedom of speech, and we will all be up there,” Pam Olsen of the Florida Prayer Network said. “But are they really putting them up to wish everyone a happy holiday from the atheists and the Satanists, or are they up there to protest baby Jesus?”
A young girl’s decision to give life to her unborn child resulted in her losing her own.
Now a New York man will be going to prison for her killing.
A jury deliberated about an hour before convicting 22-year-old Christian Ferdinand on a second degree murder charge in the death of 14-year-old Shaniesha Forbes. Ferdinand met the girl on Facebook in 2012 and met up with her for sex. She text messaged him a few months later saying she was pregnant with his child and would not abort the baby.
“Are you serious? Kill that [expletive],” Ferdinand texted back to her. He then killed the teen when she met him at his cousin’s house by smothering her with a pillow. He then stuffed the girl’s body into a suitcase, burned it and then threw it into lake.
“He intentionally smothered a 14-year-old girl to death and burned her body to get rid of the evidence,” prosecutor Robert Walsh told jurors on Monday. “He had a problem that needed solving. He didn’t want to pay child support, and Shaniesha got in the way.”
Ferdinand actually told investigators he didn’t think the killing was a big deal. He asked them if they could just give him community service for the murder.
He faces 25 years in prison. Ironically, the medical examiner said it was likely the girl was not pregnant in the first place.
A Florida city who has been harassing pro-life protesters is being taken to court by two women threatened with loitering citations for their protest.
The American Center for Law and Justice says they are representing Judith Minihan and JoAnn O’Connell in a federal suit. The women hold protests and plead with women seeking to kill their children through abortion at the Fort Myers Women’s Health Center.
“When individuals who are driving into the medical office complex stop to speak with Plaintiffs, Plaintiffs will generally hand them literature and speak with them about abortion-related topics, including information about the possible emotional and physical effects of abortion, nearby maternity homes, local and national helplines, and fetal development,” the ACLJ wrote in their complaint.
The women take care to stand on the public sidewalk while they are there and do not block pedestrians from entering the abortionist. However, police have taken to harassing the women.
“Defendant Officer Conticelli stated that he would enforce the loitering ordinance against them if they (1) stood in one spot on the public sidewalk in front of the medical office complex and abortion clinic and did not keep walking on that public sidewalk, (2) approached any vehicles entering or leaving the medical office complex and abortion clinic to hand out literature or speak with the occupants of the vehicle, or (3) blocked vehicular traffic entering or leaving the medical office complex and abortion clinic by handing out literature or talking to the people in vehicles,” the complaint reads.
The women handed the officer a consent decree from a previous lawsuit with the city that said they would not interfere with their pro-life activities but the police continued their threats necessitating the current suit.
The city’s attorney said they would be reviewing the situation.
If you want to thank God, you can’t do it on the website for the Disney Channel.
A girl celebrating her 10th birthday went on the Disney Channel website and noticed they were asking their visitors for what they were thankful. Lilly Anderson wrote that she was thankful for “God, my family, my church and my friends.”
When she tried to enter the message, a message in red letters said “Please be nice!”
Lilly called in her parents where mother Julie Anderson said they kept entering information until they removed God and the post was approved by the website.
“I’m not at all anti-Disney but to shame a ten-year-old, to tell her to ‘please be nice’ for thanking god and sharing her faith with others is what is upsetting to me as a mother,” she said.
“I want my daughter, and all children of faith, to know that it is OK to share God and Jesus with their peers,” Julie told me. “I want her to know that she doesn’t have to be silent about her faith. I want her to be strong and soldier on.”
Fox News correspondent Todd Starnes contacted Disney about their banning God from their website.
“Disney employs word filtering technology to prevent profanity from appearing on our websites,” Disney said in a statement. “Unfortunately, because so many people attempt to abuse the system and use the word “God” in conjunction with profanity, in an abundance of caution our system is forced to catch and prevent any use of the word on our websites. The company would have been happy to explain our filtering technology to the inquiring family had they contacted us.”
Rioters burned down multiple businesses and destroyed property throughout the night after hearing the grand jury’s findings that Michael Brown charged at Officer Darren Wilson resulting in the officer’s actions being justified.
KMOV-TV reported that the majority of the businesses that were destroyed by the looters were minority owned.
A large block of businesses on West Florissant Avenue were burned to the ground including Walgreens, Little Caesars Pizza, Title Max, Family Dollar, Autozone and O’Reilly Auto Parts.
Fire department officials say at one point last night there were so many fires started by the supporters of the Brown family that they did not have enough manpower and equipment to fight them all.
The rioters were shooting so much that the Federal Aviation Administration put in place a temporary ban for aircraft over the area out of fear they would be struck. Flights into the St. Louis Airport had to be diverted around the area.
Police reports say 80 people were arrested as a result of the riots.
Rev. Billy Graham says that our children are enduring a “lawless and wicked age” that is driven by the Devil’s philosophy of “Do as you please”.
“We have taken God out of our educational systems and thought we could get away with it,” said Rev. Graham. “We have sown the wind, and we are now reaping the whirlwind. We have laughed at God, religion and the Bible.”
The commentary that Dr. Graham first delivered in 1955 was published in Decision magazine as a warning from Dr. Graham to today’s society.
“Many Christian parents are becoming fearful that they cannot properly train their children in this lawless and wicked age,” and are asking, “What can I do with my son? My daughter?” said Rev. Graham. “We are beginning to reap what has been sown for the past generation,” he said. “We have taught the philosophy of the Devil, who says, ‘Do as you please.’ Behaviorism has been the moral philosophy of much of our education in the past few years.”
Rev. Graham says that parents need to step up and institute discipline on their children because to not do is disobedience to God.
“If you fail to discipline your children, you are breaking the laws, commandments and statutes of God,” said Rev. Graham. “You are guilty not only of injuring the moral, spiritual and physical lives of your children, but of sinning against God. The Bible says that if you fail to discipline your children, you actually hate them.”
Rev. Graham says that there is one answer to all of the ills of society.
“Christ in the home, in the lives of the parents, is the only permanent solution to the menacing teenage social problems in America.”
A Muslim worship service being held at the National Cathedral was interrupted by a Christian protester offended by the Christian church being used for worship by those who deny the divinity of Christ.
“Jesus Christ died on that cross over there!” Christine Weick yelled after the announcements at the start of the service. “He is the reason why we are to worship only him. Jesus Christ is our lord and savior!”
Weick continued to yell her objections as she was being removed from the church.
“We have built, and allowed you here in mosques across this country. Why can’t you worship in your mosque, and leave our churches alone?”
The National Cathedral’s website said “Leaders believe offering Muslim prayers at the Christian cathedral shows more than hospitality. It demonstrates an appreciation of one another’s prayer traditions and is a powerful symbolic gesture toward a deeper relationship between the two Abrahamic traditions.”
One of the Cathedral’s officials has previously said she believes Muslims and Christians worship the same God.
