The Great American God-Out
San Francisco is already renowned as a godless city, but atheists in the Bay Area want to emphasize their intolerance for anything religious by holding a "Great American God-Out" day this November 15th.
According to the web site, the Great American God-Out is "a newly demarcated holiday wherein, like 'The Great American Smokeout', individuals are encouraged to combine their supportive efforts to help prevent and cure disease. Even if just for one day-- people will live as as if there is no god; people will live as if there only exists the goodness of self and others to sustain healthy living!"
This is just the latest example of that religious intolerance is growing at an alarming rate. Churches and people of faith have been targeted in particular for their support of Proposition 8. In the election aftermath, many churches have experienced protests and even vandalism by homosexual activists. The Great American God-Out is nothing more than an attempt to belittle and ridicule people of faith
More persecution is coming, as followers of Christ let us maintain our devotion to God's Truth, stand firm in our convictions and pursuit of being in His presence 24/7/365, in other words be "ALL-IN"

More from Oz
He seemed so nice at first. He would sit and listen to our problems and his tone and manner was soothing. He seemed to offer real hope to our plight and have solutions for all our concerns.
He told us that what was happening to us was not fair , that we deserved better and that only he could help us. The others we had trusted in had betrayed that trust and only he could fix our problem. He explained that he was destined to be our benefactor and all we really had to do was follow Him down the Yellow brick road.
But what he said sounded Just too good to be true. Could this man really be our "Savior"? Could what he says be true? We must think, think, think! Oh, if we only had a brain and could think for ourselves.
How could he help us for free? Wouldn't it cost a great deal of money? How could he do this for free? It sounded too good to be true.

We're off to see the Wizard!
The scene above is famous as an urban legend. It is reported to include a "Munchkin suicide" in the distance, where the yellow brick road turns. It suggests that all is not well in Oz. In actuality it has been explained as a large bird used in the movie, being brought back into control by an animal wrangler, similar to a campaign manager.
My dear friend Chan sums up last nights election results nicely:
Whom did the country just elect?
After journeying along the Yellow Brick Road during this election cycle, our country, with its diverse band of Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, Good Witch, Wicked Witch, Munchkins, and Flying Monkeys, finally reached the Emerald City last night. On January 20, we'll pull back the curtain on the great and terrible Oz and discover his true nature.

The time has come
The time has come my friends for all of us to decide the fate of our nation. Each of us, as citizens of this great nation, have the true privilege of letting our voice be heard. The results of tomorrows voting will shape our next four to eight years and very likely the ensuing decades to follow.
No matter who or what you vote for, seek the Lord for guidance and make your voice heard. Voting means that you are actively involved in the community at large.
God Bless us and keep us!
