How come the media come out with anti-Christian articles as Easter and Christmas approach each year?
Easter Attacks on Christianity in the Media by Dr. D ~ April 10th, 2012
 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Its Easter season which means it’s time to seriously attack Christianity in the media. Magazine articles, documentaries on TV, books, pseudo research into Christian origins and the Bible. All stacked heavily against traditional teachings about Jesus and the origins of Christianity. Each with a variety of professors supposedly exposing the real Christian origins as myths coming down to us from pagan traditions. Just to make it ‘fair’, they always throw in a couple of uneducated preachers to support the Bible and then add some liberal Bishops that support the ‘re-interpretation’ of historical Christianity.
First it was the new ‘patio Tomb’ by James Tabor and Simcha Jacobovici who brought us the supposed ‘Jesus Family Tomb’ a couple of years ago. The Patio Tomb supposedly supports Christian teaching of the resurrection but according to Tabor it is nothing like what the New Testament teaches. These are the same two which ‘proved’ Jesus was married and had a family with Mary Magdalene because of some names they found on a ossuary. Of course they rush their research to make the deadlines in printing their book and finishing their documentary for the Easter season and then complain about scholarly reviews that show up on websites.
Next a book by Thomas de Wesselow: "The Sign: The Shroud of Turin and the Secret of the Resurrection." Who claims that Jesus never appeared to the Apostles but that it was the sight of the burial shroud after the crucifixion that convinced the apostles to believe that Jesus came back to life. Therefore, the resurrection as recorded in the Gospels is nothing but an illusion. Wesselow’s theory is all conjecture with no real historical evidence to support it. He would have you believe that the Apostles spent their lives preaching a lie and went to their deaths all because of an image on a cloth? Ridiculous!
Finally, on the CNN Belief Blog there is a debate on whether Jesus was even a real person or only a myth: The Jesus debate: Man vs. myth
You know that your side is in trouble when the strongest argument for Jesus is made by an agnostic anti-Christian professor. Yet the CNN debate is as close as you can get to a fair hearing in today’s secular media.
Can you just imagine the outcry if Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran received similar attacks during Ramadan? Easter is the holiest time of the year for Christians and yet every year at this time we are subjected to anti-Christian propaganda in the form of ‘new’ discoveries that turn out later to be far different than originally presented after all the facts are in. ...

Holy Week: Media Worship Earth Day, Attack Easter
By Erin R. Brown | April 20, 2011 | 09:49
Easter is the quintessential Christian holiday - the celebration of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection. Although it has been celebrated by billions of people around the world for nearly 2,000 years, the mainstream media would rather celebrate the liberal holiday known as "Earth Day" and connect Easter to the abuse scandal that surrounded the Roman Catholic Church. Some major Findings:
Media Undermine Christian Holiday: Nearly two thirds of all stories about Easter were negative (22 out of 34).
Easter Used to Attack Catholic Church: Ninety-one percent of the negative Easter stories were about the pedophilia scandal in the Roman Catholic Church.
Love That Mother Nature: 100 percent of Earth Day stories were positive.
Holy Week marks the seven days between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. Christians around the world celebrate it by attending services, praying and piously observing the holiday.
But in 2010, ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows mentioned "Easter" primarily in connection to the pedophilia scandals that swirled around the Vatican last year, being sure to highlight the "gravest outrage," "scandal," "sexual abuse" and "crisis."
Instead, the networks chose to worship something else: Mother Earth. In contrast to Easter, the 40-year-old eco-holiday Earth Day that focuses on the "plastic lying around the earth" and "going green," managed to get nothing but positive attention from the broadcast media.
The Culture and Media Institute examined reports during Holy Week (Mar. 28 through Apr. 4, 2010) and Apr. 15, 2010, through Earth Day to contrast the two weeks of media coverage.
Easter: a Chance to Bash Catholic Church
ABC's "World News Saturday" provided the perfect juxtaposition of how the networks disparaged Easter and praised Earth Day in 2010. "This is the holiest weekend in the Christian calendar," said ABC's Dan Harris on April 3, 2010. "But Easter is providing no respite whatsoever from what may be the gravest outrage in the modern history of the Catholic Church."
The next evening, Harris again used the word "outrage" saying, "on this Easter Sunday, an extraordinary effort to defend the pope amid growing public outrage over pedophile priests ... an apparent reference to the continuing crisis over pedophile priests. It was a very rare altering of the Vatican's Easter celebration."
.....
Harris' broadcasts were just 2 examples from the 22 negative stories about Easter in a total of 34 stories the Culture and Media Institute examined.
NBC "Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams showed the same pattern as ABC in its reporting on the Vatican's scandal. "This, of course, is Good Friday," Williams said on April 2, 2010. "And in a service at the Vatican today there was an unusual defense of the pope and the growing sexual abuse scandals in the Catholic Church."
NBC correspondent Anne Thompson weighed in on the scandal as well saying, "On a rainy Roman morning, the Vatican produced a typical Easter Mass with all the pomp and pageantry - until Cardinal Angelo Sodano rose to speak, offering not a prayer, but a vigorous defense of Pope Benedict, accused by some of not doing enough to protect children from abusive priests." Thompson's remarks came on Easter Sunday.
She continued to discuss the crisis throughout the broadcast, later stating, "Throughout Europe, the scandal dominated Easter services … And in the pope's homeland, in Munich, the traditions of Easter, for just a day, superseded the pain many feel at the disclosures that some priests abused children for decades."

NPR Anchor Lauds Atheist Author on Palm Sunday, Says He's Bought His Tapes: 'You Are the Guy'
By Tim Graham | April 03, 2012 | 06:58
If it’s an important Christian occasion, you can predict National Public Radio will seek out an atheist expert. In 2008, NPR marked Good Friday by interviewing John Dominic Crossan, who believed the body of Jesus was not resurrected, but was perhaps eaten by wild dogs.
On Palm Sunday, NPR found it was the perfect day for atheist scholar Bart Ehrman, who has a new book out titled "Did Jesus Exist?" NPR weekend All Things Considered anchor Guy Raz was a big fan: “There are probably few people in the world who know more about the life of Jesus than Bart Ehrman. He's a New Testament scholar at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, where his lectures are among the most popular on campus.” Raz was such a fan he even told Ehrman later that he had bought his lectures on tape:
RAZ: My guest is Bart Ehrman. He's a professor of religious studies at UNC Chapel Hill, and he's got a new book out. It's called "Did Jesus Exist?" And if you're wondering what the answer is, it is yes. Bart, I - a few years ago, I downloaded a series of lectures that, you know, are available on these - like, you see these ads in magazines. Great courses, right?
And I downloaded your series of lectures on the life of the historical Jesus. And a lot of people listening will know you. I mean, you are the guy. You're the expert on the life of the historical Jesus. So how are we able to build as accurate an account of his life from the existing material?
Ehrman started from the premise that Jesus existed, but the Bible is junk. Raz coyly began the segment by saying “Ehrman’s not a particularly religious man,” which is like saying that a nudist is "not particularly clothed." It gets more honest as it goes along:
EHRMAN: One of the things I argue is that historians come away with a different view of Jesus from what is popular in the wider culture so that Jesus doesn't really look like the Jesus you might have learned about in Sunday School or that you hear from a televangelist.
RAZ: You say he wouldn't recognize himself if he heard that.
EHRMAN: No, he wouldn't.
RAZ: You write that in the book.
EHRMAN: He most definitely would not recognize himself if he turned on TV on Sunday morning. Jesus, according to the majority of scholars in North America, Europe, was some kind of Jewish apocalyptic prophet, by which, I mean that Jesus believed he was living in an evil age controlled by the forces of evil but that God was soon going to intervene to overthrow the forces of evil and set up a good kingdom on Earth, a good utopian kingdom where there'd be no more pain, misery or suffering, and this cataclysmic break in history was going to happen within his own generation.
In short, Jesus was a delusional man, and not God. Jesus had a very poor idea of history. NPR doesn't see any need for debate on this matter. NPR's fan-boy anchors don't even politely suggest what Christians might offer as a rebuttal. It's just an offering of free publicity (with the financial support of many God-fearing taxpayers).
RAZ: We are, of course, speaking on Palm Sunday, Bart. And as a scholar, how do you sort of begin to assess and analyze what you think is true and what you don't think is true?
EHRMAN: Yes. Well, at this point, the mythicists [those who argue Jesus was invented] have some right things to say. The Gospels do portray Jesus in ways that are nonhistorical. There is absolutely non-historical material in the Gospels as we know because there are contradictions in the Gospels and discrepancies in the Gospels and completely implausible events in the Gospels.
As an example, the idea that's being celebrated on Palm Sunday that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey and all the crowds came out crying out hosanna, the highest, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, celebrating the coming of the Messiah to Jerusalem, if that had really happened the way it's described in the Gospels, there's no way to explain why the Romans didn't have Jesus arrested on the spot. In the Gospels, Jesus spends another week in Jerusalem preaching to the crowds. But anybody who calls himself a messiah is making a political statement.
RAZ: He would have been arrested right away.
[ And the Gospels say as soon as one of his disciples betrayed his whereabouts, he was arrested. ]
EHRMAN: He would have been arrested right away. And so, probably, the event would've been a much smaller, toned down version from what you get in the Gospels. Jesus certainly came to Jerusalem the last week of his life, and he ended up being crucified there. There's no doubt about that. But the way it's celebrated in the Gospels, simply, is not plausible historically.
RAZ: Bart, a lot of people listening will know you as a well-known scholar of early Christianity. You are controversial - I should point this out - because you are something of a lapsed Christian yourself. You've been described as an agnostic. Is that fairly accurate?
EHRMAN: Yes, that's right.
RAZ: So what is your relationship with Jesus about? I mean, is it historian to historical figure? Is there any part of it that is spiritual?
EHRMAN: Most of it is historical. Jesus is the most important figure in the history of Western civilization. And so people ask me, well, why would you be interested in somebody you don't believe in? I mean, he's tremendously important. So...
RAZ: I mean, is Jesus to you [is] what Lincoln is to Doris Kearns Goodwin, or - I mean, you know? (Laughter)
EHRMAN: To a large extent. Although I must say that I continue to be attracted by the teachings of Jesus. Jesus' teachings of love and mercy and forgiveness, I think, really should dominate our lives, that it really is better to love your neighbor as yourself. On the personal level, I agree with many of the ethical teachings of Jesus, and I try to model my life on them, even though I don't agree with the apocalyptic framework in which they were put.
In other words, in public he will proclaim he favors "many of the ethical teachings" of Jesus that match his liberal beliefs. But he doesn't agree with the "apocalyptic framework" that Jesus is God. The Jesus-is-a-myth people were only wrong in that pagans would have had a superhero narrative:
RAZ: You contend that had he actually been invented by pagans at the time, they would have turned him into this powerful figure of grandeur that was like shooting laser beams out of his...
EHRMAN: Yes.
RAZ: ...his fingers rather than a man who was crucified.
EHRMAN: The Messiah was supposed to overthrow the enemies. And so if you're going to make up a messiah, you'd make up a powerful messiah.
RAZ: Like a superhero.
EHRMAN: A superhero. You wouldn't make up somebody who was humiliated, tortured and then killed by the enemy.
A religion built on a crucified carpenter is not exactly a compelling narrative -- unless it became to many millions of people an inspiration of self-sacrifice to imitate. NPR did not wonder if Jesus is "the most important figure in the history of Western civilization," that this might be the handiwork of the Holy Spirit, inspiring such devotion that believers would go to the lions for their savior. If Jesus Christ were a transient myth, why are there still two billion Christians? But atheists don't get questioned on NPR. They are honored.

Nothing new at NPR Submitted by John21 on Tue, 04/03/2012 - 7:46am.
NPR does it assault on religion at least twice a year, normally around EASTER and Chriatmas. The do not understand or tolerate anything that interferes with the socialist agenda that they have been selling for at least the last decade.
More than one decade.
It is the standard liberal ploys to de-moralize America so the socialist / global government argurments can be made. They have already began the propaganda on global taxes and a need for the support of America to improve the worlds standard of living. They think it will raise it but the fact is it will only lower ours totheir standard, but they do not wish you to understand that, they only require socialist solidarity.
They refuse to believe that there is anything that is above or more important then them and the liberal agenda. Anything that stand in the way of that must be eliminated or caused to be wrong.
Christians mock gays at shocking EASTER service
[Actually of course, this was the exact opposite of that. Apparently this is a big annual EASTER event in SF. There are loads of pics at zombietime's link and I'm only going to post two showing the presence of young children at this very obscene event. Why is this okay in San Francisco?
Zombie notes there were "many kids in the crowd". What is the matter with people in CA? ]
April 27, 2011 - 12:10 pm - by Zombie Share | Thousands of Christians gathered for an outdoor EASTER Sunday service in San Francisco to publicly mock gays and humiliate gay heroes.
The flagrant attack, which included skits, obscenities and impersonations satirizing gays and gay stereotypes, sent shockwaves of outrage and disgust throughout the region and across the nation.
This report features photo and video documentation of the free public EASTER service, which was attended by a majority of Christians in the city, who laughed at and insulted gays and the homosexual community.
Thousands of Christians make fun of gay stereotypes by dressing up as gays in Mission Dolores Park as they watch an anti-gay religious service and performance.
One of the Christian performers paraded around nude on stage, in an attempt to make gays look bad.
Another Christian satirized gay behavior by standing on his head and displaying his anus to the crowd.
This 7-minute (NSFW) video shows highlights of the shocking EASTER service:

booooooooooooop!
THIS HAS BEEN A TEST OF THE
EMERGENCY DOUBLE-STANDARD SYSTEM
If this had been an actual case of Christians mocking gays, you would have heard about it in the mainstream media.
As you’ve undoubtedly noticed by now, everything in the report above is the exact opposite of true. Yes, there really was a huge public event in San Francisco on EASTER Sunday involving Christians, gays, mockery and humiliation. But it was gays mocking Christians and it involved thousands of people laughing at the Christian “hero,” Jesus.
The event in question is known as the “Hunky Jesus” competition, a semi-serious annual male beauty contest seeking to crown the “hunkiest” — i.e. most sexually appealing — gay (preferably half-nude) Jesus lookalike in San Francisco. Actually, Hunky Jesus is only part of the story; it’s the culmination of a day-long EASTER Sunday festival in the city’s Mission Dolores Park. The massive public party/picnic is the closest thing San Francisco has to a municipal EASTER celebration, and features several events including an EASTER egg hunt for kids, burlesque shows, a campy EASTER bonnet contest, musical groups and so on, with Hunky Jesus as the headlining final performance.
As you will soon see in the report below, Hunky Jesus is intentionally as blasphemous as possible, an over-the-top religious-themed sexual beauty contest steeped in mockery of Christians and Christian beliefs.
Now, you might think, considering how I started this report, that I’m opposed to the Hunky Jesus contest and everything it stands for. But you couldn’t be more wrong.
I actually like Hunky Jesus; I’m not a Christian, nor am I religious in the slightest, so the “blasphemy” doesn’t bother me one bit.
No, what bothers me is the double standard. In San Francisco (and places like San Francisco, including most newsrooms and TV studios), it’s perfectly acceptable to mock Christians. But to turn the tables and mock gays in a similar way is considered totally beyond the pale; a hate crime; bullying; bigotry and oppression of the worst kind.
If the story as I originally titled it was true (“Christians mock gays at shocking EASTER service“), it would indeed have been national news. But when the reverse happens — silence. And what this tells me is that our society is currently enduring a condition of mass rank hypocrisy.
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Since the gay community has carte blanche to mock Christians (as proven here), then the reverse should also be true — Christians should be free if they so choose to publicly mock gays or the stereotypical gay lifestyle. Why not? Neither side may like the mockery, but fair is fair.
To be consistent, we should either allow even-handed free speech for (and against) everyone — or ban all critical speech whatsoever. And that second option is the road to totalitarianism (not to mention being unconstituional), so Option 1 it must be: free speech for all.
As you will see in the photos and videos below, the gay community is very, very good at dishing it out. But can they take it? The moment anyone attempts the slightest mockery or put-down of stereotypical “gayness,” an entire class of professional victimologists and whiners and lawyers go apoplectic; no criticism or mockery is allowed!
This double-standard (and similar double-standards — take your pick) is destroying our national soul. I demand equal rights for all — the right to mock the target of your choice. The gay community wants to mock Christianity? Fine. Go for it. But then you necessarily must be prepared to take it on the chin uncomplainingly when it’s time to turn the tables and you are on the receiving end of the mockery.
Sound fair? Sounds fair to me. Now let’s have some apolitical fun at the Hunky Jesus contest!
Hunky Jesus 2011
“Hunky Jesus” is an annual gay beauty pageant hosted by San Francisco’s “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,” a satirical order of transvestite faux nuns who frequently host stage shows and also organize various charity events in the gay community. (Personally, I think dressing up as a drag nun stopped being funny about 25 years ago, but that’s just me.) Since the event is always held on EASTER, and since the “Sisters” are based on the concept of mocking Christianity, the goal of Hunky Jesus is to make as much fun of the image of Jesus as possible. To that end, each contestant is encouraged to come up with his own unique campy Jesus-themed persona. Either that, or actually be hunky, which is a much taller order. Most opt for camp. So, this year, we had…
“Pain Slut Jesus” and his very sexy dominatrix…
“Fat Drunk Redneck Jesus” and his bottle of cheap wine…
Samurai Jesus, or as he called himself, “Son of God-zilla”…
…and “Yoga Jesus,” who did not win but got my vote for “Contestant Who Most Resembled What the Real Jesus Probably Looked Like.” (Not including the nipple rings.)
In the “serious contestant” category, one entrant was the indisputable early front-runner, probably the hunkiest Jesus ever, who gave himself the optimistic name…
“The Hunky Jesus.” He wasn’t kidding! Each contestant lined up for an official portait by a professional photographer; the crowd cheered when “The Hunky Jesus” posed for the camera (click picture to see why).
“Lady Gaga Jesus” had her photo shoot interrupted by…
The photographer’s young daughter, who suddenly had a kid crisis that needed urgent attention.
Kids, I say? Isn’t this event a little too outré for kids? Well, not in San Francisco. In fact…
The most obscene contestant, “Jesus Fucking Christ,” whose act involved humping the rear end of a secondary Christ mannekin…
…frequently showed off his Christ-fucking skills to the many kids in the crowd. (Remember, the afternoon started off with an Easter-egg hunt, so countless families with children were on hand.)
Speaking of the audience, and of fucking things…
A tranny watching the show had a tattoo depicting a “Tom of Finland” stud literally fucking the world.
Before I get too off-track, I should stop teasing and deliver the goods. Above, in the “double-standard” version of the report, I presented a 7-minute video that showed just a few highlights of the contest itself. Here, in all its glory, is the full 12-minute (NSFW) video showing everything you need to know about the Hunky Jesus contest:
Hunky Jesus 2011
UPDATE:
Someone in the front row with a high-end video camera has posted an even better YouTube video of the contest; if you want to see it all in even more glorious detail, watch it HERE and then come back and read the rest of the report.
For those of you who don’t want to watch the whole thing, I took a few screenshots of memorable moments, which I’ll display here, with explanatory captions:
The very first contestant was a baby, whom his parents (“Mary and Joseph,” naturally) dubbed “Baby Jeebus.”
“Pain Slut Jesus” and his nun dominatrix were early favorites, and entertained the crowd with some on-stage whipping.
“Pass Around Party Bottom Jesus,” who simulated inhaling “poppers” (amyl nitrate, taken to facilitate anal sex because it loosens the sphincter), bent over and offered himself to the cheering crowd.
Blond Jesus upped the ante by whipping out a long rubber dildo.
But the moment “The Hunky Jesus” came on stage, everyone knew that the rest of the candidates were merely jokes, and this guy was truly “in it to win it.” Especially when he took off his loincloth and displayed his divinity in its full glory to the ecstatic audience. (Don’t click the picture, unless you want to be struck blind.)
One of the MCs then at first tried to cover up Jesus’s modesty, but it was all a ruse — he soon began masturbating Jesus’s limp noodle, saying “We can not have this! This is absolutely wrong!”
A barely-clad “Yoga Jesus” said he had climbed off the cross and wanted to show us some other positions. So he…
…stood on his head to exhibit his minimally clad naughty bits. (Again, don’t click the picture.)
But “Jesus Fucking Christ” was the crowd favorite; the roar was deafening when he started humping.
In the end, the Sisters couldn’t decide between The Hunky Jesus and Jesus Fucking Christ, and so arranged a cheer-off, letting the audience decide. To my disappointment, J F’ing C drew the loudest cheer, defeating T H C and winning the crown of Hunky Jesus 2011.
In case you’re wondering how a joke candidate could defeat the hunkiest Jesus ever, this is why: What you see here is a view of the stage from the middle of the vast crowd. Most people in the audience were so far away, they couldn’t even really see the contestants clearly. The Hunky Jesus was the obvious favorite of those within eyesight of the stage; but Jesus Fucking Christ was a simple joke that even those way in the back could appreciate, so the great mass of attendees cheered him on.
A Stroll Through the Crowd
Not all the action was up on stage. People-watching was the day’s primary form of entertainment, and countless shutterbugs like me wandered through the crowd snapping pictures of the many fantabulous show-offs.
Shaolin Drag Peep, I dub thee.
Catholic schoolbears.
Who is this “Chris”? I’d like to shake his hand!
Steampunk Jockstrap EASTER Bunny?
This guy wasn’t in the contest, but he should have been: a true “fisher of men.”
Well hello, sailor!
This being the Bay Area, you can’t escape the Che-worship, even at a putatively non-political event.
But the real low point was spotting one of my fellow photographers proudly sporting an anti-Israel message. Yeah, just try having a Hunky Isa contest in Gaza or the West Bank, and see how long you survive. Jerk!
The day’s MC was a 7-foot-tall transvestite (heels included).
Immediately before the Hunky Jesus contest was a highly entertaining performance by Boylesque, a sexy male stripper/burlesque troupe featuring a Great Gatsby/Roaring ’20s dance routine.
By show’s end, only one dancer still had his bunny-undies on; the rest were starkers, except for strategically placed hands.
The Contestants
For those who want an official run-down of the various amusing Hunky Jesus contestants, here are some snaps I took as they wandered around before and after the show:
“Beverly Hills Jesus” as he dubbed himself, a.k.a. “Homoboy Jesus” according to his cross.
“Grilled Cheesus” won my award for most ill-conceived costume. He occasionally would “cheez-jaculate” on people with a can of Cheez-Wiz.
Hula Hoop Jesus was definitely the most narcissistic of the bunch. He really seemed to think he was going to win.
“Your Chocolate Savior” was easily the second-hunkiest of the Jesuses, and also had among the most authentic costumes, but unfortunately only made it to the semi-finals.
Here’s “Peepus,” the Peeps Jesus.
There was, in my estimation, a four-way tie for Worst Hunky Jesus. The nominees were:
“Our Lady of the Generous Dumpster,” as he dubbed himself, who was definitely the laziest contestant; all he did was grab some flowers out of a Dumpster and put on a robe.
“Union Rep Jesus,” who wore a utili-kilt.
“Lefty,” who carried an upside-down cross, wore evil-clown makeup, and occasionally assaulted the other contestants.
And finally, the unexpected winner in the “worst” category:
“Jesus, minister of Allah.” Seriously, that’s what he called himself (as you can see in the full video above). He was the only contestant who seemed to have an actual “Jesus Complex,” and sincerely believed he was a messenger from God — or in his case, Allah. The crowd fell silent when he announced himself and the Sisters quickly hustled him out of the spotlight.
More Jesuses:
Blond Jesus, with his ding-dong still safely hidden in his robe.
Baby Jeebus, waiting patiently to go on stage.
“Pass-Around Party Jesus,” savoring his triumphant stage appearance.
Though he did seem inordinately fond of bending over.
“Sunscreen Jesus,” who definitely was the least “hunky” of the contestants.
“Stimulus Package Jesus,” the only contestant with a political theme.
I know all you non-gay male readers want more of Pain Slut’s dominatrix, so here she is again.
“Jesus Fucking Christ”‘s official portrait.
After winning the whole contest, he came off stage and confessed, “It amazes me that a joke could win out over good looks.”
In case anyone out there wants a G-rated version of The Hunky Jesus exposing himself, here’s the moment from a safer angle.
The best and one of the worst seemed to make friends when the contest was all over. Awwwww….
After I left and was walking through the Mission District, “Lefty,” still clutching his upside-down cross, came careening down the street on his bike yelling “No brakes! No brakes!”
And I thought: No brakes indeed. A fitting summation.
