The Christian group Campus Crusade for Christ decide to compromise.
How?
By changing the name of their organization to Campus Crusade Cru.
I say this organization has lost sight of what really matters.
Why should after all this time the group decides to care about what the world thinks about them instead of what God thinks about them?
Isn't the whole purpose of this organization to reach the world for Christ across the globe by reaching students on different school and college campuses?
Compromising may keep them from being sued, or looked down upon by ungodly groups out there, but it will not help them to do right by God.
Compromising never did anyone in the Bible any good at all.
Samson compromised and his life ended in a tragedy.
Others compromised and the end results were far from good, or pleasing to God. In fact God called their acts of compromise "doing what was right in thier own eyes..." "...wicked,...sinful..."
So shame on you Campus Crusade for Christ by turning your backs on your roots.
Compromising in this one area, can only lead to compromising in other areas and becoming a bad example to those you claim you seek to reach for Christ.
It is about time Christians groups like this one,and Christians as a whole quit compromising, and starting doing right by God even when it is not popular because it is the right thing to do.
-disappointed in this organization for its great compromise along with others that decide to heed to the worlds way of thinking

Even More Quotes by the Forefathers
If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny. – Thomas Jefferson
Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry. – Thomas Jefferson
If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so. – Thomas Jefferson
No nation was ever ruined by trade. – Benjamin Franklin
To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. .I place economy among the first and most important of republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared. – President Thomas Jefferson
To say that a bad government must be established for fear of anarchy is really saying that we should kill ourselves for fear of dying. – Richard Henry Lee (1732- 1794), Member of Continental Congress, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Senator
It is our true policy to steer clear of entangling alliances with any portion of the foreign world. The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. – George Washington
Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government. – James Madison
Quotes on the Second Amendment-
The Constitution shall never be construed … to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms. – Samuel Adams
The usual road to slavery is that first they take away your guns, then they take away your property, then last of all they tell you to shut up and say you are enjoying it. – James A. Donald
Armed people are free. No state can control those who have the machinery and the will to resist, no mob can take their liberty and property. And no 220-pound thug can threaten the well-being or dignity of a 110-pound woman who has two pounds of iron to even things out … People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence, they're begging for rule by brute force, when the biggest, strongest animals among men were always automatically right. Guns ended that, and a social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make it work. – L. Neil Smith (from The Probability Broach)
The police can't stop an intruder, mugger, or stalker from hurting you. They can pursue him only after he has hurt or killed you. Protecting yourself from harm is your responsibility, and you are far less likely to be hurt in a neighborhood of gun owners than in one of disarmed citizens – even if you don't own a gun yourself. – Harry Browne
To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them. – George Mason
Gun bans don't disarm criminals, gun bans attract them. – Walter Mondale
The Second Amendment is the Equal Rights Amendment. – Jannalee Tobias
We should not forget that the spark which ignited the American Revolution was caused by the British attempt to confiscate the firearms of the colonists. - Patrick Henry
When the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised by an artful man, who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually...I ask, who are the militia? They consist of now of the whole people, except a few public officers. But I cannot say who will be the militia of the future day. If that paper on the table gets no alteration, the militia of the future day may not consist of all classes, high and low, and rich and poor... - George Mason, Virginia Constitution Convention

Quotes by Our Forefathers
"The Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount contain my religion.”-John Adams
Amendment I of the Constitution
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
The government is trying to attack the freedoms we have!
AMENDMENT XI
Passed by Congress March 4, 1794. Ratified February 7, 1795.
Note: Article III, section 2, of the Constitution was modified by amendment 11.
The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.
Labor Unions are UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
WAKE UP CITIZENS!
WAKE UP TO REALITY!
Declaration of Independence-
WHEN in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

Fiction vs. Fact :Evolution vs. Creation
Fiction-anything that is not true,reality (real),having nothing to do with real life,made up,includes imagination
examples:myths,fables,old wives tales,evolution,etc.
No proof to back up any of this stuff.
Evolution-claims that people were evolved over millions and billions of years from an ape,that came from some other evolved animal,and so on,also claims that the earth came from a big explosion "big bang theory", or from a cell (made up by Charles Darwin a long time ago)
