In the MSM\u2019s annual \u2018screw Christianity\u2019 Holy Day\u00a0instalment, CNN\u2019s belief blog<\/a> offers a heated debate between those who deny the divinity of Christ and those who deny everything about the Christian Faith.\u00a0 That\u2019s fair and balanced.\u00a0 I noticed that, for a while, the MSM was forced, by way of the surging FOX News, to have a balanced representation in its panel discussions.\u00a0 But as FOX has become relegated to the domain of partisan hackwork (some of which is deserved), the MSM has begun to pull back to the glory days when a fair and balanced panel meant three liberals, a leftist, and a moderate.\u00a0 Its internet versions have, naturally, followed the same path.<\/p>\n

So we have this debate, where near atheist agnostic Bart Erhman has to come out and actually defend the historicity of Jesus.\u00a0 That\u2019s right, he who has made a living writing books telling the world how unreliable the New Testament is suddenly becomes the voice of reason as he explains that only kooks and nutcases in line with flat earthers and people who deny the moon landings would ever suggest there was no such person as Jesus in some form or another. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s right.\u00a0 The radical defender of Orthodoxy in CNN\u2019s Easter installment is a man who makes it his mission to turn as many away from belief in God as possible.\u00a0 It goes down from there.\u00a0 Again, I ask you.\u00a0 Is there anyone left in the world who ever utters the phrase \u2018it must be true, I read it in the newspaper\u2019 without a massive dose of sarcasm behind the words?\u00a0 I can\u2019t imagine it.\u00a0 It\u2019s also worth noting that CNN, like so much of the post-Western progressive movement, hates, and I mean H.A.T.E.S. the traditional Christian faith with the white-hot fury of a thousand suns.\u00a0 This simply should be one more small piece of evidence\u00a0to demonstrate its contempt for the Faith that so many millions hold dear.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
