			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To those who would claim Christ, yet bemoan conservatism, Fox News, and Ann Coulter&#8230; I have a message for you &#8212; repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near!   <img src='http://negative99.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />   For all the whining and bellyaching that leftist &#8220;Christians&#8221; do about Ann Coulter and Fox News I would love to see them stew in their own juices after Ann&#8217;s latest piece.  No woman is more hated by the left (including so-called Christians who are left) than Ann Coulter&#8230; yet it&#8217;s hard to remember when a prominent female political analyst said something so accurate&#8230; AND POLITICALLY SCRIPTURALLY accurate at that (yes, it is possible I guess)!</p>
<p>It started with Brit Hume&#8217;s initial statement on Fox News about Tiger Woods and his recent sexual troubles:</p>
<blockquote><p>The extent to which he can recover, it seems to me, depends on his faith. He is said to be a Buddhist. I don&#8217;t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So, my message to Tiger would be, &#8216;Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.</p></blockquote>
<p>Of course, as Ann says, any public mention of Christianity gets the usual liberal media elites into a crazed frenzy.  Brit was wrongfully attacked&#8230; and Ann&#8217;s article not only points out the sheer idiocy of the many liberal responses to Brit, but does it while presenting the gospel (ah yes, presenting the gospel&#8230; something else Christo-leftists have a hard time doing)!!!</p>
<p>I agree 1,000 times with her.  <a href="http://www.anncoulter.com/cgi-local/printer_friendly.cgi?article=349">Feast your logical Christ-following senses on her piece</a>, partially quoted below:</p>
<blockquote><p>Someone mentioned Christianity on television recently and liberals reacted with their usual howls of rage and blinking incomprehension.</p>
<p>On a Fox News panel discussing Tiger Woods, Brit Hume said, perfectly accurately:</p>
<p>&#8220;The extent to which he can recover, it seems to me, depends on his faith. He is said to be a Buddhist. I don&#8217;t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So, my message to Tiger would be, &#8216;Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hume&#8217;s words, being 100 percent factually correct, sent liberals into a tizzy of sputtering rage, once again illustrating liberals&#8217; copious ignorance of Christianity. (Also illustrating the words of the Bible: &#8220;How is it you do not understand me when I speak? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my words.&#8221; John 8:43.) </p>
<p>[...]</p>
<p>On MSNBC, David Shuster invoked the &#8220;separation of church and television&#8221; (a phrase that also doesn&#8217;t appear in the Constitution), bitterly complaining that Hume had brought up Christianity &#8220;out-of-the-blue&#8221; on &#8220;a political talk show.&#8221;</p>
<p>Why on earth would Hume mention religion while discussing a public figure who had fallen from grace and was in need of redemption and forgiveness? Boy, talk about coming out of left field!</p>
<p>What religion &#8212; what topic &#8212; induces this sort of babbling idiocy? (If liberals really want to keep people from hearing about God, they should give Him his own show on MSNBC.)</p>
<p>Most perplexing was columnist Dan Savage&#8217;s indignant accusation that Hume was claiming that Christianity &#8220;offers the best deal &#8212; it gives you the get-out-of-adultery-free card that other religions just can&#8217;t.&#8221;</p>
<p>In fact, that&#8217;s exactly what Christianity does. It&#8217;s the best deal in the universe. (I know it seems strange that a self-described atheist and &#8220;radical sex advice columnist &#8212;&#8212;&#8221; like Savage would miss the central point of Christianity, but there it is.)</p>
<p>God sent his only son to get the crap beaten out of him, die for our sins and rise from the dead. If you believe that, you&#8217;re in. Your sins are washed away from you &#8212; sins even worse than adultery! &#8212; because of the cross.</p>
<p>&#8220;He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.&#8221; Colossians 2:14.</p>
<p>Surely you remember the cross, liberals &#8212; the symbol banned by ACLU lawsuits from public property throughout the land?</p>
<p>Christianity is simultaneously the easiest religion in the world and the hardest religion in the world. </p></blockquote>
