Jesus Really Saves!!! Even Atheist.....

Recently, I had a conversation with a friend about a problem that he faces. From this exchange of words I had a revelation about tough situations we all find ourselves in. Within this revelation I found that my friend could of avoided this situation if he simply lived by Judeo-Christian values, morals, and principals.

You don't agree? Try this out:

1. Take an awful situation in your life that has caused you pain, whether it was physical, emotional, or mental.
2. Now, think of all the actions you did up to the point where the bad incident occurred.
3. Did any of the actions taken by you create the opportunity for the bad situation to happen?
4. Now if you had applied Christian principals to your conduct, would the incident been totally avoided?

• Example 1:

A guy, who is an illegal narcotic peddler, is on the corner of his neighborhood when the police bend the corner with guns drawn. He attempts to run but it is too late. He is caught, but what he didn't know is that fifteen minutes prior to him taking up his post on the corner, somebody was murdered on the next street. He fits the murderer's description, and with all of his prior convictions, he is suspect number one.

He is eventually charged and convicted for a crime he didn't commit. All of his appeals are lost and he must now spend the rest of his life in a cell for somebody else. Only if he decided to never sell drugs and lived a life filled with Christian values this incident - most likely - would of never took place.

• Example 2:

A young girl is contemplating having sex. She goes to public school and is basically lead to believe that sex is fine as long as protection is used. She meets a boy that she likes and decides he is the "One". She makes sure that he uses a condom and gives him what should be saved for a special person - her husband. During sex, unbeknownst to her, the condom breaks.

Next two weeks the guy avoids her calls and she feels bad about what she did, but even worse she has missed her period. She goes to the doctor and finds out that she is pregnant. Planned Parenting is visited and murder is committed.

Now two lives are affected by one simple act of pleasure, that probably wasn't enjoyable to her. One dead and one that has to live the rest of her life knowing that she ended her first child's life. Had she applied Christian morals to her life this incident would of never come to fruition.

Although we can not avoid every bad situation in our lifetime, we do often create an atmosphere, through "sinful" actions, that makes us vulnerable to life-altering situations that we regret happening.

That is why Christian's moralistic values and principals can benefit everybody, even the Atheist. You don't have to be a "Bible Thumping" religious zealot to have common sense. If you take a moment and read you will find that Christian morals are very logical and - when followed - they lift many traps set in our lives.

Look, nobody is perfect (trust me, I'm not), but living by a few rules can greatly improve all of our situation.

Try it. :)

What about Angry Black Man?

There was a op-ed piece titled, “In election 2008, don’t forget Angry White Man”, written by Gary Hubbell, a columnist with the Aspen Times Weekly. In column Mr. Hubbell described the attributes of ‘The Angry White Man’, basically stating that the Angry White Man isn't being represented in this election period. Not that I totally disagree with this notion, but Mr. Hubbell alienates all of the Angry White Man’s fellow patriotic Americans - The Angry Man of Color and the Angry Woman.

I am an Angry Black Man so I will give my perspective to this piece, respectively.

Every minority group has preferential representation of some sort - homosexual or transsexual, Black to Latino (given that they are liberal), handicapped to senior citizens, and yes, even the Angry White Man.


The Angry White Man is usually represented by his choice candidates, but feels a bit of bamboozling on the rise. He is upset that he is unappreciated and overlooked by the party that he has always supported. This election is forcing him to put some of his fundamental principals to the side for the sake of the country, but what he doesn't understand is that he’s not alone.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with him is the Angry Black Man. A minority within a minority, the Angry Black Man is barely recognized or considered. His politics make him a leper within his own community. He battles with a love/hate relationship with his own people. Names like Uncle Tom, House Negro, and race traitor are not uncommon to the Angry Black Man. Labeled a traitor to his own people, he continues to champion individualism.


The Angry Black Man - white or blue collar worker - must always be 2 steps ahead of his white counterparts so as not to get labeled as the ‘Token Black’. He despises affirmative action and worked hard for all of his accomplishments. He suffers from racism in the work place but doesn't file million-dollar lawsuits against his company. He is also the ‘go to man’ when his white co-workers ask condescending questions beginning with “Why do black people...”.


The Angry Black Man is law-abiding citizen. He is frequently labeled a 'rat' and a 'snitch' when standing up against the criminal activity in his neighborhood. He owns a gun and won’t hesitate to use it in defense of himself and his family, but is very apprehensive on using it for fear of the liberal court system. He is very familiar with law enforcement's abuse of power and is occasionally a victim of racial profiling.


Al Sharpton never stands up for the Angry Black Man. The Angry Black Man is considered the Judas of the new civil rights movement but was the main contributor to the old. He is quick to declare that the 'race hustlers' do not represent his views but his declaration usually falls on deaf ears because of the media’s liberal bias.


When the Angry Black Man rises in politics he is ridiculed - pelted with Oreo cookies while giving speeches - and is often not supported by like-minded voters simply because of his color. He is haunted by the victim-hood vendors because he decided not to carry their products, disparity and entitlement.


With all of these adverse entities working against his moralistic values and principals, he still finds the courage -through God - to stand besides his melanin-deprived brethren who shares the same conservative beliefs, The Angry White Man.


So, the next time around, it might be a bit more fitting to recognize all of the Angry Americans who share your beliefs.

Just a thought, not a commandment.
