Don't look for Captain America

Kirk Cameron on Elon Musk and freedom of speech:

" I like Avenger movies. While we all love a savage superhero… looking to one man with lots of money and power to fix our problems is how people unwittingly enslave themselves. How? By looking to the wrong source for their freedom and protection. While I’m thankful for Elon’s crusade to save free speech, it should have been “we the people,” (all of us) full of faith and character who render bad companies powerless (by holding them accountable) and build good ones in their place (by putting our money and time where our mouth is).

 
Perhaps, and I hope, that is exactly what Elon is doing. But if we want lasting freedom and blessing, we must not look for a Captain America to be our free speech Savior. The Savior position is has already been permanently filled by the only qualified candidate, and “we the people” need to step up our game and self-govern with our combined powers of faith, character and courage or a bigger, badder Thanos will gladly fill the void and do the governing for us."

You can do anything, but stay off of my Darwin!

Ray Comfort and actor Kirk Cameron plan to give away 100,000 copies of a special edition of Charles Darwin's "Origin of Species" on 100 university campuses for the 150th anniversary of the book. Their book challenges the theory of evolution with a 50-page introduction that includes an overview of Darwin's life and presents a case for a universe created by God. [OMG--how shocking, just shocking!] Although I wouldn't expect this campaign to get many followers, or converts to Christianity, the vitriol and hysteria from their detractors are off the charts. Just google "Kirk Cameron Darwin" if you want to see how far we haven't evolved in terms of allowing someone with a different viewpoint freedom of expression. You can read the introduction at
Living Waters web site.

Someone once graciously said, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” However, it seems that some contemporary atheists don’t share such honorable convictions. When they learned about this publication they threatened lawsuits, book burnings, and even censorship in vowing to tear the Introduction out of the book. If the Special Introduction has indeed been removed from this publication, you may view it freely on www.livingwaters.com to learn what some don’t want you to know.

It was Irish playwright and skeptic George Bernard Shaw who warned, “All censorships exist to prevent anyone from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions.” Ray Comfort
