Atheism and Youth: On Sunday, 5PM eastern time, we’ll be covering what pulls teenagers away from God—from peer pressure, to lies, to fear and wanting to fit in. We’ll also be covering some common atheist lies and tactics that are used to seduce teenagers into the lie and distortion that is “Atheism”. This is a show especially for teenagers and parents. Don’t miss this one! LIVE, Sunday, 5PM eastern time at www.vericast.net.
You look like them. Maybe talk and walk like them. Have the same mannerisms as they do. In many ways that we often fail to acknowledge, we are a reflection of our parents. We’re “mini versions” of them. At the same time, we fail to acknowledge that we aren’t merely human beings, but we are “mini gods”—that is, a simplified version of God Himself by our nature and divine heritage. Not creatures of sin, but creatures of Eternal Good who happen to commit sin. This should put a whole new spin on how we regard ourselves, our place and role in the world, how we regard our faith, and how we regard sin. I go over it at length in this episode.
This show was so insanely hot that even MICHAEL VORIS of ChurchMilitant.TV called in. Starts off steady and easy, but it erupts after several minutes. Give it time. Enjoy!
This is what you support
“A saline abortion is performed by injecting a caustic saline solution into a woman’s uterus, where it poisons the amniotic fluid that the baby breathes and kills the child over the course of several hours. The woman then goes through labor to give birth to a dead baby. This method of abortion was abandoned in the 1990s because it caused so many live births and because it was dangerous to women. It was replaced by dilation and evacuation, a brutal procedure where the baby is torn apart with forceps and extracted piece by piece.
Saline abortion was abandoned because it threatened the mother’s health. No one cares that it also tortured the baby to death? OH…that’s right…the baby doesn’t count. Because we can’t hear it plead for its own life. Saline was replaced by dilation and evacuation. Because tearing a child apart limb from limb is more comfortable for mom.
This is the state of the collective conscience of the culture. This is what you support, pro-choicers. And the really creepy thing is that I’m sure none of this bothers you…because for all your talk about human rights, you really don’t care about humanity. If you did, you’d be outraged by what abortion really is. Your sense of basic decency is distorted and your conscience is in a coma. So own it. And when you become the next object of someone’s inconvenience and they’re passing laws legalizing your torture and death, all in the name of “a constitutionally protected right to be selfish and heartless” maybe you’ll begin understanding exactly the measure of evil your “pro-choice” distortion has injected into the conscience of the culture.
Catholic Myths: Covered and blown to bits
abortion is murder, and a death sentence for the unborn, and the born.

What gems of cinema can be thought of as telling a story of the Catholic experience?
If you missed last night’s show, you missed a really fun show that is sure to become a fan favorite. It’s now available on-demand for your viewing pleasure :-) Don’t miss it. It was a great show! ”Cinema and the Catholic Experience”. Check it out, if you missed it. You’ll love this episode!
NEXT LIVE SHOW! We all know about The Ten Commandments and The Passion of the Christ. But if you put religious movies aside for a moment, what other movies seem to tell a story about the Catholic experience? Some movies tell stories of heroes and villains, glory, suffering, honor, truth, right and wrong. Some movies tell love stories. Some movies are about war. What are some of your favorite movies whose stories can be thought of as a story of the Catholic experience? Does Braveheart remind you of the rise of the Church against ancient Rome? Does Up tell us a story of Christian charity? Let’s talk about it! This will be a really fun show. Show link here… http://bit.ly/XF9Jve

Over the past 50 years a new “catholic church” has taken form within the True Catholic Church, leaving countless Catholic abandoned to indifferentism, relativism, and secularism. But the True Church is Christ’s bride, and His mystical body on earth. It is a place of love, mercy, and above all, truth. This is our most important show to date, discussing the True Church, and the false church. We’ll empower you to know the difference and to get to know the True Church all over again. LIVE at 5PM (eastern time). Taking your calls, questions, comments, toll free. Don’t miss it! See you there. (Please re-blog this and help spread the word)
