It is amazing the way the Muslims are rioting because of some cartoons, including one about Muhammad being depicted with a turban shaped like a bomb with a lighted fuse. The Muslims make bad caricatures of Jews and Christians all the time and we do not destroy their embassies in retaliation.

I have read the Koran and about the life of Muhammad and it is evident that this ³Great Prophet² was an illiterate liar, robber, murderer, adulterer and pedophile. He was an Arab descended from Ishmael who God stated in Gen. 16:12 that ³He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone¹s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.²

It is obvious from all the happenings in modern times that the Lord¹s prediction came to fruition.

Eighty-six evangelical leaders calling for a law to control climate change is not really news. I have suspected for some time that most evangelical leaders have more faith in government than they have in God.

Most of you probably know how last year the box office went into its first slump in 10 years. The reason why? The cost of seeing movies in the theaters these days, DVD sales, big screen digital TVs, and I think there¹s one more thing the movie industry¹s lacking that may have also contributed to the slump. It¹s Hollywood¹s anti-Christian and liberal lifestyle with a lot of their actors, resulting in lack of traditional family values and morals, contributing to bad movie-making and movies gone dumb, as well as 21st century spoofs making fun of 60s movie classics and mother goose stories.

The movie industry is coming up with this idea that theater owners think could hurt their profits, as well as business. Ultra Star Cinema Theater here in Poway is somewhat affected by this. They want to put new movies in theaters and release them on DVD, PSP and VHS at the same time. What do I think? I think one of the news reporters from ABC News said it right, ³What the movie industry needs is another Passion of the Christ.² And that¹s no lie. That¹s the truth! What other factors do you think could be making the movie house and the DVD wait for months a thing of the past?

I have been homeless for a number of years in my life. I think I understand the plight of the homeless. They need help! I¹m calling upon the church to activate and prioritize and get together and come up with a comprehensive plan for the homeless.

The mega churches have money for everything else. I see pastors living in nice houses, going to Europe on vacation, leading a good life -- but what about homeless people? Like I said, they need our help! I mean, what would Jesus do?
