Belief is defined as: “an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists. Trust, faith, or confidence in someone or something. Something that is accepted, considered to be true, or held as an opinion : something believed. an individual’s religious or political beliefs. especially : a tenet or body of tenets held by a group.”

Belief, by its very nature requires a degree of uncertainty in that certainty requires proof while belief requires faith in the absence of proof. So, what is faith? Faith is defined as: “strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.”

It would be remiss not to mention that while belief and faith can be disproven by scientific fact, scientific fact cannot be disproven by belief and faith, but before some reading this get too upset, allow me to point out that in some cases, scientific fact has disproven belief and faith in ways that lend credence to some of the stories contained in the Bible.

Embellished By Faith, Predicated On Facts

The story of the birth of Jesus, as told in two books in the Bible, is a good story full of hope, and promise. That story eventually gave rise to a major religion, Christianity, and it has been told, and retold for the past couple of thousand years.

It’s a story…but it’s a good story.

That story has Jesus being born in a manger, because there was no room at the inn, shepherds, wise men, gifts meant for a King, and so much more. Christians around the world celebrate the story of the birth of Jesus, and hold it dear. There’s nothing wrong with that.

But it is a story that relies on faith rather than on fact…and one should not try to replace the latter with the former.

Let me explain…

A Martyr to Idiocy

John Allen Chau’s name has been splashed all over the news lately, and all over social media. To some, he’s seen as heroic…as some sort of martyr.

The holier-than-thou crowd is putting this guy on a pedestal.

Normally, I wouldn’t give a guy like Chau two minutes of thought, but I’ll make an exception in this case because the notion of raising this guy to a level of near sainthood despite the reality of the situation is so absurd that it simply grinds on my nerves.

Those who are actively elevating this guy, Chau, past any reasonable level are doing nothing but trying to justify their own agenda in a cloaked, self-serving manner.

Where John Allen Chau is concerned…it’s high time for a dose of reality…and here it is…

John Allen Chau isn’t some sort of martyr…

Politics and The First Christmas

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen – Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

chr 1It is difficult to escape the political undertow in today’s world. Politics is in play in everything we do, from our daily routines to events half way around the world. Our schools, our streets and roads…regulations imposed on everything from our businesses to the water we drink…wars, conflicts, diplomatic relations with nations both friend and foe…we can’t get up in the morning, proceed with our daily business or go to bed at night without political interference.

This time of the year, we do our best to ignore, to whatever extent possible, the world of politics in favor of time-honored traditions that revolve around Christmas or Chanukah, but we should not forget the role of politics IN Christmas…the first Christmas to be precise.

Just as the death of Jesus on the cross was politically motivated, so too was the story of his birth.

While the scriptures reveal that Joseph and Mary traveled to Bethlehem to pay their taxes, the truth goes politically deeper than that.

Prophecy and Politics – The End is Near

By Craig Andresen – Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

So much to do, and so little time.

Actually, whatever it was you had planned for the next week, month the rest of the year or perhaps even over the next several years…forget about it.

If you’ve been worried about bills that need to be paid, and who hasn’t been, or if you about to make some big investment hoping it will pay off down the road…

Forget about it.

There just isn’t enough time left to be concerned about anything.

Why not?

The Scale of Self-Righteous Indignation

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen – Right Side Patriots on American Political Radio

Self-righteous indignation is defined as: “Confident of one’s own righteousness, especially when smugly moralistic and intolerant of the opinions and behavior of others, which do not match their own.” and dare I say it…there are two groups who, in today’s politically-charged American culture, embody that definition to a tee.

The first, of course, are liberals.

Liberals feel entitled to what others have earned through hard work and tenacity. Liberals claim the right to be offended by those who think, or believe differently than they do, and they believe their offense takes priority over our actual rights as outlined in the Constitution.

Liberals go stark-raving, foaming at the mouth mad when they don’t get their way, or when what they feel entitled to is not simply handed to them on a silver platter.

Low-Info Voters vs High 2016 Expectations…Part 2 of 2

Posted on by

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots on http://www.americanpbn.com/

Low-information voters…the bane of us all as my Right Side Patriots partner and friend Craig Andresen pointed out in Part One of our two-part series ‘Low-Info Voters vs High 2016 Expectations.’  A brief recap for those who still do not see themselves for what they are…as in the aforementioned low-information voters…folks whose vote is cast either out of misdirected anger that their candidate of choice did not get the nomination; folks who cast their vote based upon media-generated misinformation about the candidate who did; folks who vote solely based upon where a candidate stands on the social issues, which by the way belong on the state not federal level; folks who think that Jesus is on the ballot never mind that He has never nor will ever be; or those folks who don’t vote at all simply because they are just too lazy to get to the polls. And this last group of low-information voters will be the most vocal group of complainers when, just like in 2012, things go horribly wrong.

But possibly the worst of all low-information voters are those who vote third party…misguided sorts who use the excuse that they’re voting their ‘conscious’…never mind that it’s a ‘conscious’ wasted on a fringe candidate who has absolutely no chance of winning anything, but then again they know that. And they also know the reality that most third party candidates are nothing more than avowed anarchists claiming to be ‘warriors for God’ or simple ‘facebook’ candidates who think if they can only get a million ‘likes’ on facebook it will propel them to the White House…in other words low-information candidates custom made for low-information voters.

Low-Info Voters vs High 2016 Expectations Part 1

Posted on by

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot and Right Side Patriots on americanpbn.com

li 1As we draw closer and closer to the first primary elections of 2016, now just a month away, there are some things which must be said. Things that will rile some, anger some and distress some who purport to be on our side of this election matter.

I really don’t care if I offend them as being politically correct has never been in my wheelhouse. I don’t pander…not even to those who are either on our side or to those who pretend to be on our side.

I’m talking about low information voters.

There are far, far too many who claim Conservatism as their political ideology who are being duped, led like sheep to a slaughter and it’s high time somebody said something.

They are being led by trolls…by plants whose goal it is to disrupt and destroy any chance of a Republican victory in 2016 and their intention is clear to see…they are trying to split the vote and in desperation, since their real agenda I suspect, lies with the liberals, they are expediting their wave of nonsense before the first primary votes have been cast.

Kim Davis – Agenda of a Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot and Right Side Patriots on cprworldwidemedia.net

kd 1When my Right Side Patriots radio partner and friend, Diane Sori and I wrote and published yesterday’s article, “First Amendment Held Hostage in Kentucky,” I had no intention of writing a follow-up article but, considering the comments received after yesterday’s article…I felt compelled to address a few things which some folks out there just refuse to grasp.

Far too many of the holier-than-thou religious Conservatives out there, and one can only guess from some talking points memo, are feigning ignorance which makes them appear foolish…their top question has been…”What law did this woman, Davis, break to be sent to jail?”

That of course was followed by an often repeated, in nearly the exact same wording…”What law did congress pass making gay marriage legal?” And the direct talking points memo statement of…”She’s in jail for her beliefs…not for breaking any law,” was another oft repeated comment being made so…let me make this clear for the terminally religious fabricaters of spin out there…

First Amendment Held Hostage In Kentucky

Posted on by

By: Craig Andresen and Diane Sori / Right Side Patriots on CPR Worldwide Media / www.cprworldwidemedia,net

“I’ve weighed the cost and I’m prepared to go to jail, I sure am…this has never been davis 10a gay or lesbian issue for me. This is about upholding the word of God.” – Kim Davis, the woman who has made herself the flag bearer for the anti-gay marriage issue

Diversions…deflections…and all modes of roadblocks for a woman who’s been turned into a martyr by the religious far right as she, a civil servant, used her personal religious beliefs as a weapon of sorts to stop others…in this case a same-sex couple…from accessing their now SCOTUS awarded Constitutionally given legal right to civilly marry.

Now please understand before we go forward that this co-written article in no way is an attack on Christianity nor on anyone’s personal beliefs, know that we both are straight, and that we both are believers in the one true living God of the Christians and the Jews.
