All aboard the "Jesus Express" The morally superior all away in a manger
The morally superior all away in a manger
Roger Franklin
The Daily Telegraph
December 27,2013
Brothers and sisters, let us shun those who every year at this time proclaim that Joseph and Mary were a homeless couple! There are lies, which all Sunday schoolers know are sins, and then there are those gigantic, jaw-dropping whoppers which come with little horns and pitchforks and do the devil's work, and this annual misrepresentation of the Holy Family is one of the biggest of the lot.
Those who would have us believe that Mary and Joseph were a couple of down-on-their-luck bums are also inclined to drop a lot of hints that Jesus might have had a better start in life if only Caesar had collected just a bit more tax to "invest" in government-approved mangers.
Others seem to be under the impression that Mary and Joseph arrived in landlocked Bethlehem aboard a leaky boat.
Atheists and believers differ on whether or not God can move mountains, but there is no doubt Jesus is always being asked to lend a hand when there is a barrow to be pushed, and often by the most unlikely suspects.
Consider NSW University of Technology professor of journalism Wendy Bacon, who earlier this week tweeted a message of support for the illegal arrivals she prefers to call asylum seekers.
She was commenting favourably on another Twitter user's photo of a sign outside a Brisbane church that assured refugees "there's plenty of room at the inn."
Now it should come as no shock that Bacon, a lifelong radical, rejects the quaint notion that it should be policy rather than people smugglers deciding how and when they arrive.
What does surprise is Bacon's sudden respect for Christianity. The last time there is a record of her tapping into the spiritual came when she was charged with obscenity and appeared in court dressed as a nun. Just to make sure the magistrate knew how she felt about religion, her habit bore a graphic announcement claiming intimate knowledge of "God's steel prick".
How many refugees saw that church's sign and appreciated its sentiment is unknown, although the ready guess is that the number would have been few.
Then again, boat people were never the intended audience. Why shouldn't the self-righteous give themselves a little Christmas treat by putting their virtue on display for all to admire? Moral superiority, real and imagined, always makes you feel lovely and warm inside - warmer than a drowned boat person, certainly.
In Toowoomba, copies of the Australian Catholic Bishops' latest statement on social justice, entitled "Lazarus at the Gate", were distributed to the faithful and - surprise! surprise! - Australia was relegated to Santa's naughty list.
"The recent increase in the number of people arriving by boat is insignificant by world standards," the bishops wrote. "In 2012 … as Pakistan struggled to accommodate 1.6 million refugees, Australia's political leaders and media whipped up hysteria over the arrival of 17,000 asylum seekers."
At Eureka Street, a website run and funded by the Jesuits, St Vincent de Paul Society chief executive John Falzon came in on cue with a Christmas hope that capitalism ("not a natural system") will be replaced by something kinder to outcasts and people like Jesus, who, he assures readers, was "born on the fringes of society".
This is just too much. It is one thing to see Wendy Bacon misrepresenting a theology she once thought worthy only of a blasphemous, look-at-me parody, but quite another when the chief executive of a religious charity can't grasp the real meaning of that night in a stable long ago.
Fact is, Mary and Joseph were victims of Big Government - and you can take that as the gospel truth, courtesy of the Gospels themselves. Why did they leave their home in Nazareth? Because the Emperor Augustus ordered all Roman subjects to return to their ancestral homes for a census, thus wasting the couple's time, money and sandal leather to extract information that might have been just as easily obtained if they had been allowed to remain in their own home.
Why were there no rooms available? Because, after issuing the order to hit the road and be counted, Augustus made no provision to accommodate the overnight population surge.
But surely Mary and Joseph were homeless outcasts, right?
Well, they were away from home but certainly not homeless. Joseph was a carpenter, according to the New Testament, and therefore a skilled artisan - about as likely to be mistaken for a homeless man as the next tradie you see scooting by in a ute.
How Jesus might feel about these misrepresentations is anyone's guess, but one thing is for sure: those who paint Him as an outcast should give thanks that the Jehovah of the Old Testament, forever afflicting wrongdoers with plagues and torments, was replaced in Jesus' teachings with the God of love.
Otherwise we could expect an annual blitz of lightning bolts raining down every year at this time.

Sharia Unveiled
A Muslim woman by the name of Fatima Ali and her friends from the Islamic Center at NYU have crossed the line of disrespect by posing in a mocking photo of the ‘Last Supper of Christ.’
One of our readers pointed out the fact that there are “only 12 people” in this picture, where there should be 13.
The 12 disciples and Jesus. The 12 disciples are represented but Jesus is not. We believe that this omission of Jesus is intentional. The Muslims are essentially making the claim that Jesus did not exist. Credit: Angelos Gavriel

IT is a good thing Jesus is the bringer of peace and forgiveness because every Christmas He must be sorely tempted to do quite a bit of smiting. It's not the commercialisation of his birthday that would bother him so much as the slanders on the good name of his earthly family.

Jesus #1 in Top Ten of Human History, Satan's Paedophile Slave Trader Pirate Moon Worshipper and Mass Murderer runs a poor third behind Napoleon.
Jesus towers above everyone in history
Michael Frost
Manly Daily Pg.26
21 Dec 2013
IN CASE you have wondered why we still celebrate Jesus’ birth in our increasingly secular society, his influence on history alone should be enough of an answer.
He was recently ranked the biggest name in human history. Ever.
So say the authors of a new book, Who’s Bigger: Where Historical Figures Really
Rank, who used “culturometrics,” a fancy term to describe quantitative data analysis, to figure out that Jesus stood above all.
Their top 100 was a bit of a surprise to most people. Everyone is overwhelmingly white and 97 are male, with the only women being Queen Elizabeth I (No.13), Queen Victoria (No.16), and St. Joan of Arc (No.95).
The top 10 people in history were (in order) Jesus, Napoleon, Muhammad, William Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Adolf Hitler, Aristotle, Alexander the Great and Thomas Jefferson.
The research was primarily based on Wikipedia and Google ngrams (a searchable collection of words in scanned English language books), which is why the list was biased toward an Anglo-American, English-language version of history.
Nonetheless, as you enjoy Christmas Day, even if you’re not religious, spare a thought for the towering historical figure whose birth you’re celebrating.
His teaching about loving your neighbour, forgiving your enemy and caring for the poor has found its way into our collective consciousness and our legal system.
His view of God as a loving father shapes much of our thinking. His example of sacrifice and service has moulded many of our beliefs about human excellence.
All this is incredible when you consider that he was born in an obscure village, the child of peasants. He never wrote a book, never held office, never went to college, and never travelled more than two hundred miles from the place where he was born.
And yet as James Allen once wrote: All the armies that have ever marched All the navies that have ever sailed All the parliaments that have ever sat All the kings that ever reigned put together Have not affected the life of humankind on earth

Third Prize goes to Muhammad
Dante described hell for Muhammad
A cask by losing centre-piece or cant
Was never shattered so, as I saw one
Rent from the chin to where one breaketh wind.
Between his legs were hanging down his entrails;
His heart was visible, and the dismal sack
That maketh excrement of what is eaten.
While I was all absorbed in seeing him,
He looked at me, and opened with his hands
His bosom, saying: "See now how I rend me;
How mutilated, see, is Mahomet;
In front of me doth Ali weeping go,
Cleft in the face from forelock unto chin;
And all the others whom thou here beholdest,
Disseminators of scandal and of schism
While living were, and therefore are cleft thus.
A devil is behind here, who doth cleave us
Thus cruelly, unto the falchion's edge
Putting again each one of all this ream,
When we have gone around the doleful road;
By reason that our wounds are closed again
Ere any one in front of him repass.
- Dante's Inferno, Canto 28

Israeli TV Mocks Jesus Christ , Blessed Virgin Mary
Catholics outraged over Israeli TV spoof
News.com.au
February 20, 2009 09:54pm
CATHOLIC bishops in the Holy Land have expressed outrage over what they call "repulsive attacks" on Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary after an Israeli TV program spoofed them.
"We, the members of the Assembly of the Catholic Bishops in the Holy Land deplore and condemn with utter dismay the repulsive attacks on our lord Jesus Christ and on his mother, the blessed Virgin Mary, carried out on Channel 10 of the Israeli television," the group said in a statement.
Earlier this week, the private channel broadcast a series of skits, one of which suggested the Virgin Mary "was impregnated at the age of 15 by a school friend."
Another said Jesus died at a young age "because he was fat" and that his excess weight would have made it impossible for him to walk on water.
In the program, Israeli comedian Yair Shlein joked that since Christians "deny the Holocaust, then I want to deny Christianity."
Following protests, he later apologised to Arab Israeli Christian dignitaries.
The bishops said they viewed "this recent incident in the larger context of continuous attacks against Christians throughout Israel over the years" and urged authorities to launch an investigation.
"It is unconceivable that such incidents have to occur in Israel which hosts some of the holiest shrines of Christianity," said the statement, signed by the Latin patriach of Jerusalem as well as Armenian, Chaldean, Greek, Maronite and Syrian Catholic bishops.
Uneasy relations between the Vatican and Israel have been further strained a by Pope Benedict XVI's recent decision to lift the excommunication of Holocaust-denying English Bishop Richard Williamson.
The pontiff is scheduled to visit Israel in May.
I guess when you have as many friends in the world as Israel does you can afford to shit down the throats of those who are most likely (Christians) to support Israel in their fight against the planed Islamic Holocaust eg that promised by Iran for instance, great work Channel 10 Israel, talk about PR.

Chicago's Islamic "Al Taquia" Bus spreading the lies of Islam
A Chicago bus..in Islam's "Western Capital" as Louis Farrakhan proclaims.
"Soft Jihad...get ready it's coming...beginning in Obama's home town; the same guy who doesn't celebrate the birth of Jesus. But then, Muslims don't celebrate Christmas."
