The Delusion of Deception

How does one know when they are deceived? How does one know when they have been convinced by people, situations and circumstances that simply are not being honest with them or honest at all.
It is in this situation that I find most people who are secular humanists within our Polite Canadian Culture. I find an intelligencia that proposes to all who will listen their exalted position of keeper of the real truth, as opposed to those lowly pions who live a faith based, God centred existence.
It is these wise individuals who carry the torch of wisdom for those of us who "just don't get it" or simply are too immature to understand their man centred philosophy. So what is a faith based person to do? What should be our response?

To answer these questions I had not choice but to go to the bible and see what God has to say about it. 1 Cor. 4:1-4 Says...Since God has so generously let us in on what he is doing, we're not about to throw up our hands and walk off the job just because we run into occasional hard times. We refuse to wear masks and play games. We don't maneuver and manipulate behind the scenes. And we don't twist God's Word to suit ourselves. Rather, we keep everything we do and say out in the open, the whole truth on display, so that those who want to can see and judge for themselves in the presence of God.
If our Message is obscure to anyone, it's not because we're holding back in any way. No, it's because these other people are looking or going the wrong way and refuse to give it serious attention. All they have eyes for is the fashionable god of darkness. They think he can give them what they want, and that they won't have to bother believing a Truth they can't see. They're stone-blind to the dayspring brightness of the Message that shines with Christ, who gives us the best picture of God we'll ever get.

So what do you think? Do you think that the god of darkness has blinded your eyes so that you cannot see the truth that is right in front of you?

What do you think?

So the National Media are at it again... here is the quote.
A national coalition of women's groups called on CBS on Monday to scrap its plan to broadcast an ad during the Super Bowl featuring college football star Tim Tebow and his mother, which critics say is likely to convey an anti-abortion message. "An ad that uses sports to divide rather than to unite has no place in the biggest national sports event of the year - an event designed to bring Americans together," said Jehmu Greene, president of the New York-based Women's Media Center.
The ad - paid for by the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family - is expected to recount the story of Pam Tebow's pregnancy in 1987 with a theme of "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life." After getting sick during a mission trip to the Philippines, she ignored a recommendation by doctors to abort her fifth child and gave birth to Tim, who went on to win the 2007 Heisman Trophy while helping his Florida team to two BCS championships.

Do the Womans groups mentioned in the article comment on the sexual demeaning ads running throughout the Super Bowl? No!
Do they mention the use of woman as props rather that intelligent human beings ready to compete on equal footing with men? No!
No! Instead they continue to ridicule the promoters of the advertizing, Focus on the Family as being unworthy to even be considered to purchase airtime during the superbowl because they have done the unthinkable... they promoted the worst kind of social engineering... and corruption of real social liberal ideologies... they promoted, the family! Wow and I thought Amercia was free. I know Canada isn't but I thought they were.
Here is their contention...

The protest letter from the Women's Media Center suggested that CBS should have turned down the ad in part because it was conceived by Focus on the Family. "By offering one of the most coveted advertising spots of the year to an anti-equality, anti-choice, homophobic organization, CBS is aligning itself with a political stance that will damage its reputation, alienate viewers, and discourage consumers from supporting its shows and advertisers," the letter said.

Since when does forcing women to work equals equality? My mother was equal to my Dad even though she never worked as much as he did. No inequality there...they called it a team, a duet, a family. Equal... different but still equal.
So just because the advertizment was conceived by Focus on the Family they have no right to communicate their support of the traditional family? This is freedom? Like I have said before, the liberal media and the social engineering leadership believe that real tolerance is achieved by stamping out intolerant people. (sigh) How Orwellian is that? Everyone is equal, just some are more equal than others.
I do appreciate CBS and their position, as Schneeberger from Focus on the Family has said, "CBS officials carefully examined Focus on the Family's track record and found no basis for rejecting the ad." Way to go CBS!
Finally the hypocrasy of the complainants reached new heights of comunication when they used the very language of excusivity that the church has been criticized of for years to defend their rejection of their family friendy ad. Here it is...

A national columnist for CBSSports.com, Gregg Doyel, also objected to the CBS decision to show the ad, specifically because it would air on Super Sunday. "If you're a sports fan, and I am, that's the holiest day of the year," he wrote. "It's not a day to discuss abortion. For it, against it, I don't care what you are. On Super Sunday, I don't care what I am. Feb. 7 is simply not the day to have that discussion."
The Holiest Day of the Year? And they call us fundamentalists!
