Funny Christian Joke: The End is Near

A priest and pastor from the local parishes are standing by the side of the road holding up a sign that reads, "The End is Near! Turn around before it's too late!"

"Leave us alone you religious nuts!" yelled the first driver as he sped by.

From around the curve they heard screeching tires and a big splash. "Do you think," said one clergy to the other, "we should just put up a sign that says 'Bridge Out' instead?”

Inspirational Quote

We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people.

-Martin Luther King Jr.

Leap of Faith

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washing up on a small, uninhibited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but noneseemed forthcoming. But he kept praying. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. "God, how could you do this to me!" he cried.

Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

Is prayer something we use only to solve impossible situations? When and if we cannot change situations ourselves? We may think prayer is a final bid for something desperately needed, a last ditch effort instead of rightfully placing it as first priority. Like the man in this story some people think God does not hear our prayers or if He does, we cannot see how He can or will fulfill them. Being human we want to have Him answer immediately. We don’t want to sit back and wait.

The Rules

In 1971 the father of "Community Organizers" Saul Alinsky wrote a book called Rules for Radicals (dedicated to Lucifer, "the original radical") on how to "Community Organize" (re: how to push America toward communism via protest and "direct action" by leftist "community" groups).



You may have seen me say something like "Nice use of rule 5" or "Geez, put down the Alinsky" when arguing with liberals. This is the list of Alinsky's rules to which I was referring (and I love to point out when I see liberals using them because realizing its a game they are playing makes it easier to beat them).



So read through these rules, keep them in the back of your mind when you see what the Obama administration and their surrogates are up to (remember Barry was a "Community Organizer" too). Also keep them in mind when you see how the "formerly mainstream" media treats conservatives and conservative ideals.

• Rule 1: Power is not only what you have, but what an opponent thinks you have. If your organization is small, hide your numbers in the dark and raise a din that will make everyone think you have many more people than you do.

• Rule 2: Never go outside the experience of your people. The result is confusion, fear, and retreat.

• Rule 3: Whenever possible, go outside the experience of an opponent. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.

• Rule 4: Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. “You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”

• Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.

• Rule 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. “If your people aren’t having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.”

• Rule 7: A tactic that drags on for too long becomes a drag. Commitment may become ritualistic as people turn to other issues.

• Rule 8: Keep the pressure on. Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period for your purpose. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this that will cause the opposition to react to your advantage.”

• Rule 9: The threat is more terrifying than the thing itself. When Alinsky leaked word that large numbers of poor people were going to tie up the washrooms of O’Hare Airport, Chicago city authorities quickly agreed to act on a longstanding commitment to a ghetto organization. They imagined the mayhem as thousands of passengers poured off airplanes to discover every washroom occupied. Then they imagined the international embarrassment and the damage to the city’s reputation.

• Rule 10: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Avoid being trapped by an opponent or an interviewer who says, “Okay, what would you do?”

• Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.
