ban christianity

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to let a high school student sue over school officials’ refusal to let her play an instrumental version of “Ave Maria” at her graduation, a decision one justice says could lead to wide-ranging censorship of student speech.

The high court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from Kathryn Nurre, a former student at Henry M. Jackson High School. Nurre, who was a senior in 2006, wanted to play “Ave Maria” — Hail Mary in Latin — with the band’s wind ensemble at the graduation.

Administrators raised red flags at the Everett, Wash., school when they heard about the idea from the wind ensemble seniors, who had played Franz Biebl’s uptempo 1964 rendering of “Ave Maria” without controversy at a winter concert.

A year before, choral performance of the song “Up Above My Head” at the 2005 commencement drew complaints and protest letters to the town’s newspaper. Therefore, school officials said the seniors could not play the song since the title alone identified “Ave Maria” as religious and that graduation should be strictly secular.

Nurre sued, claiming unspecified damages from infringement of First Amendment rights. The federal courts threw out the lawsuit, with judges saying it was reasonable for a school official to prohibit the performance of an obviously religious piece.

The court’s majority turned away her request for appeal without comment. But Justice Samuel Alito said he would have heard her case.

There are nearly 10 million students under the jurisdiction of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Alito said. The decision by the San Francisco-based appeals court could lead to censorship of other forms of student expression outside of music, like student speeches and other school events.

“A reasonable reading of the Ninth Circuit’s decision is that it authorizes school administrators to ban any controversial student expression at any school event attended by parents because of the importance of the event for the participating students,” Alito said. “A decision with such potentially broad and troubling implications merits our review.”

  2. Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
    What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
    Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
    O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
    And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
    Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
    Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
    O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
    On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
    Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
    What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
    As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
    Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
    In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
    ‘Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
    O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

    And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
    That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
    A home and a country should leave us no more!
    Their blood has washed out of of their foul footsteps’ pollution.
    No refuge could save the hireling and slave’
    From the terror of flight and the gloom of the grave:
    And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
    O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

    Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
    Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
    Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land
    Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
    Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
    And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
    And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
    O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

    This is also then is illegal. it is religious. The U.S. national anthem.

    The U.S. Declaration of independents is also religious statement, if it is illegal do we need to recant it and return to the king of England. But
    that is religious too. Oh what to do: oh what to do.

  3. james, i cannot tell u exactly whether is possible or not to measure the distance between stars etc. it is true in ancient times they and romans were quite advanced in many fields.
    we were discussing about “preaching the salvation to all the people”. in my understanding it says that the negros/yellows/arabs etc can be saved if they accept Jesus.

  4. You are right Vlad, but it doesn’t make its meaning less valid.

    There was a separate Greek word for “World”, as in planet, and another Greek word, meaning territory, people, kin. In both cases, the later was used. I have my notes on that somewhere around here and I’ll present them to you as evidence, if you want.

    Certainly the Greeks and the Romans were cognoscente of both concepts. In fact the Greeks were far more tribal than any other White nation I have studied.

    Please wait...
    • The Greeks had great knowledge Vlad. They weren’t backwards. They knew the circumference of the earth.

      And if we go back (some same 4,500 years and others say 10,500 years) we know the ancients understood very intricate mathematical theories. The pyramids themselves are a testament to their genius.

      The knowledge lost is only recent. We think ourselves so advanced, but could you measure the stars and their distances? Could you build a television from scratch? How about a plane?

      Knowledge is lost when those in charge decide to hide knowledge. Israelites have ALWAYS been thinkers, explorers, artists, mathematicians, designers and architects. It’s in our genes.

      It is only through enchantments that knowledge is lost and distractions which induce a lazy sleep over the eyes of our people.

      Our people knew MORE; not, less the further back you go.

  5. fuck the Jews and their bullshit, America was founded on Christian values, not the Jew.

    Please wait...
    • America was not funded as a Christian country. Read the constitution about separation of church and state. America was fouded as a country that has freedom of relgion, and freedom of worship without persecution.
      Our founding fathers were not all Christians. Thomas Pane was an atheist, but could quote te bible at will ad very liberally. Washington and Jefferson were deists.
      America was “founded on Christian values?” What are you calling Christian values? Values of humanity and fairness? Christianity doesn’t own those values.
      or does Christianity own love or faith.
      Wasn’t it the Christan bigots who genocided the Indians and enslaved the blacks?

  6. alright james. it’s striking what it has been posted under your name. i never met a catholic to proclaim that Jesus is the Almighty!
    instead they claim Maria is their saviour and the pope is CEO of “Catholic Multinational Company PLC/Ltd etc” or deputy of Jesus Christ.

    Please wait...
    • Yeah well Vlad if you look at all of my posts, I have never had a kind word to say about Catholicism. Early on that cult was infiltrated by Edomites. Edomite Merchants were very instrumental in who was chosen as poop. There have also been MANY jew poops, the last two being the most obvious. That is a historical fact.

      The Catholic church was also responsible for deliberate mistranslations of scripture. They added to and took away from scripture which would alert the White race to their true identity and put in its place their version of UNVERSALISM (which is what Catholicism means – Universal.)

      Anyone can name ANY scripture to me, which supports the idea that “salvation” was meant for non-Israelites and I can QUICKLY dispel that myth. No where in scripture does it state that non-Israelites can become sons of the living GOD.

      All this talk about adoption is pure nonsense as the word there actually means HEIRS and only children, by birth are heirs.

      When Yahshua said that HE came only for the Lost Sheep of Israel; HE meant it. Yashshua NEVER rescinded that mandate and NO ONE but NO ONE has any right or authority to tell Yahshua what HE meant when HE said what HE said. PERIOD!

      Please wait...
      • to be honest james, i never heard/questioned before this opinion “the salvation is only for His people”.
        I thought is for everyone who believes in Him..quite interesting what u say…
        what would you say about “go and preach to all nations”, “who believes will be saved” etc?

        Please wait...
        • what would you say about “go and preach to all nations”, “who believes will be saved” etc?

          Let me first quote you some scripture and then ask you a few questions:

          Luke 2:1-3 (King James Version)

          1And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.

          2(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

          3And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

          Did Rome tax ALL the world? Did they tax China? Did black Africa also have to pay this tax? Was Australia taxed? Was America taxed?

          Whenever reading historical texts, it is imperative to keep it in its original context and terms as defined by those times; not ours.

          And still there are other “universalist” scripture, which are common in many of today’s Bibles, but do not appear in any of the earliest manuscripts. IOW: They were added by someone later.

          Please wait...
          • alright james,as you mentioned “defined by those times”.
            in this case,if we stick to those times (ancient) their knoweledge of the world was limited. they meant that, “all world” resumes to the boundaries they had/knew or simply to the people? In some of latin based languages (romanian,french,italian)”world” means people. you can’t ask those people about America,China etc. Also,u cannot ask them about outer space or Nokia’s “connecting people”.Every “time” has its own knoweledge and limitations.

            Please wait...
    • Vlad, you obviously had a high fever as a baby. The Catholic church says Jesus is God. Tje Catholic church deified Jesus. The two parts of the mass are the liturgy of the Word and the liturgy of the Eucharist, both about Jesus.
      Mary is not worshipped. She is loved, honored, and respected as the mother of Jesus.
      You need to learn something about the Catholic church before opening your mouth.

      now, before you ask if I’m catholic, I will say yes. I was baptized and confirmed a Roman Catholic. But I will also tell you that I AM A FREETHINKER.
      Personally, I don’t believe in deified martyrs. That’s an old theme, and Christianity adopted it.
      All religios are articulated in terms of concepts and symbols, and the characters in the Christian system represent or teach some valuable truths and insights, not to speak of offering us a moral code. Paul gives us Greek ethics. Nothing wrong with this at all Vlad, but it’s just another religion, and they all teach the same basic spiritual principles: surrender the self, ego, pride, suspend or bypass judgement, practice love and forgiveness, and arrive in the “kingdom within,” “nirvana,” “spiritual awareness/elightenment,” or whatever you want to call it. Yes, we can reach a state of mind that is simultaeously peace and power, and yes, if we work it right, we can believe in ourselves and explode our potential all over the place. “All thigs will be added unto you.”

      Vlad, whether we are believers or non believers, or whatever our respective levels of interpretation may be, we have these dreams in common. To realize our potential and to find love and happiness.

      So Vlad, I wish you the best of life, health, and happiness and hope your dreams come true.

      In the final analysis, I do not subscribe to the Judeo-Chirstian creation myth. The bible is only one holy book, written by men. It represents the mesoptamian (Tigris-Euphrates) cradle of civilizaton. Other cradles have their holy books ad various religions and deities.
      Man invents gods, gives them names, and sticks them in “holy” books.
      To each his own.
      I’ll go with what science can rationally demonstrate. And, through conditioning and maybe because of necessity, we all “believe” on some level.
      I respect your freedom to choose your level. I respect James the Just’s freedom to choose his level.
      May we all arrive.
      You have my respect.

  7. I think it is time to start an imprecatory prayer against those of “OUR RACE” who betray us by slutting around with inferior races. May YHWH bring them eternal death! May HE make each day of their miserable lives utter hardship. May the baboons and slatty-eyed gooks that have defiled themselves with, turn on them and rend them in pieces! And may their names be removed from the Book of Life and they be remembered no more.

    Give them the same options Muslims give.. convert, or DIE
    They were already given that option. Their response was to openly convert and then infiltrate the churches and take power. That’s how we got the Baptist Church today. The Merchants appointed the Baptist Pastors. The most powerful among the merchants were the White Saxon family’s.
    From the moment they seized power, they conducted a campaign of mass murder against White Christians and introduced Baptist paganism.
    There’s so much pain and real suffering I’d like to cause… I do not want those sub-human Baptist snakes to die a quick death. That would be too kind… Slow. Real slow like…”
    If I had my way, there would be no one but pure White Roman chatolic people in the Christian religion today. It is not a good idea to force any Non White Non Adamic person to convert to Christianity.

  9. I knew before reading what is explained in the link u gave me,james.
    YHWH=YAHSHUA or Jesus Christ. that’s when i asked u once about that u confirmed it.
    there is one god and one name.no trinity or infinity.
    I read in english james,since i do not speak hebrew :-D or arabic :-D

    it is quite obvious,His name is Yahshua or Jesus Christ. I do accept the explanations you give as well. and in my opinion it does not make a big difference: you call Him Yahshua I call Him Jesus Christ. hope both we, are right?

    Please wait...
    • Of course Vlad. I only call HIM Yahshua because of its meaning. But I would never fault someone who called HIM Jesus Christ.

  10. James,let’s have a look bellow:

    **”herefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”***

    ***”Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.”***

    we’ve got a “name” not “names” for baptism.
    Peter knew exactly His name – Jesus Christ!

    here is the Corner Stone (Father,Son and Holy Spirit). all of them are titles as you said,not name/s.
    YHWH indeed is the name of Almighty in the old testament.in the new one we’ve got a different name.

    Nelson,
    i do not care who james is jew,afrikaans,russian, transylvanian gypsy or mexicano. i do care what he says first of all.

    Jeff,did u jump this jewish girl at the end :) ?

    Please wait...
    • Vlad,

      You are reading from the English Bible. HIS name is a transliteration; not a translation. Did you read the link I gave you?

      PS: I hope he didn’t jump the jew girl. That would be a violation of our law to keep our blood pure. Even worse than “jumping” a non-Israelite would be to “jump” the seedline of Satan!

    Don’t you see, this guy JTJ is a Jew, only Jews try to make us think that YHWH is instead of our lord Jesus Christ.
    YHWH is the god of the filthy JEW.

    • Don’t you see, this guy JTJ is a Jew, only Jews try to make us think that YHWH is instead of our lord Jesus Christ.
      YHWH is the god of the filthy JEW.

      Nelson,

      You should read my post above. The jews DO NOT use the name of YHWH.

      Do you really think the Hebrews or the Greeks used the name “Jesus” when there is no “J” or “J” sounding letter within their alphabet?

      Like the Swedes of today, they wouldn’t even know how to pronounce it, let alone spell it. Prior to the 1600’s there wasn’t even a “J” in the English alphabet.

      OBVIOUSLY HIS NAME, could not have been Jesus. The word “Christ” is from the Greek “Christos” and it simply means ANOINTED.

      ALL Israelites, that is to say all people of the White race, are “Christs”…anointed, otherwise MANY versus in the bible make no sense. If you’d like for me to explain that further, I’ll be more than happy to.

      We are the anointed race with Yahshua (YAH our Salvation) as our anointed King.

      Please wait...
      • Nelson, as far as I know the God of Jews is named ELOHIM not YHWH but well I can surely tell you that I’m no expert in religion and I could be wrong.
        But I don’t think I’m wrong because once I knew a Jewish girl who was in love with me and I lied to her that I’m also Jewish just to see her reaction and I asked her “who do you believe in? do you believe in Jesus Christ?” she said “no” then I asked her “do you believe in God?” and she said “no, we Jews believe in Elohim” and she was liked shocked that I didn’t knew that. I told her that I am a “lost Jew who is converted to Christianity but I want to convert back to Judaism” so that’s how I got her to speak.

        Please wait...
  12. well james,may i ask you something:
    why are you using YHWH instead of Jesus Christ all the time?
    Jesus Christ is the last name of the Lord as far as I know it and you confirmed it.

    Please wait...
    • Vlad,

      The sacred name of our Father was removed by the jews from scripture over 7,000 times. This “tradition” of the elders started approximately 60 years prior to the birth of Christ. No Israelite was allowed to utter HIS name under pain of death. This was AFTER the Edomites had murdered all of the Israelite priests and had taken over the temple in Jerusalem.

      If you read scripture, you will see such idiocy as “Ye shall utter the name of the LORD” or “Call upon the name of the LORD”, but then the scripture never gives HIS name. Why is that? Everyone should be asking that question.

      The terms “lord” and “god” are not names. They are titles. There are many lords and many gods. The god of the jews is Lucifer, for example, and they even admit this!

      Here is a good link which is a primer for this study: http://thy-weapon-of-war.blogspot.com/2010/03/sacred-name-of-creator-mighty-one-of.html

      The name Yahshua, Joshua in today’s English version, means “YAHWEH our salvation” or “YAH our salvation”.

      If you look at the names of the prophets, many of them have the name of YAH embedded at the end and each of these names have a specific meaning.

      The scripture tells us that THE NAME of our GOD has power in it and that we are to use it; that we are to CALL upon THAT name.

      Now, Nelson doesn’t understand this because he, like most people today are ignorant of history and truth. That is understandable, but also not acceptable. IN FACT, the Edomites do not use the name of YHWH. They use “HeShem”, which means “THE NAME”, and alludes to THE NAME that they cannot utter (at least in public). And they will not utter THEIR god’s name in public because it is Lucifer!

      Many prominent Edomites jews have even admitted this publicly, but most “christians” are so engrossed in worshiping the jews, they cannot even see the OBVIOUS!

      We are commanded by YHWH that we are to study to show ourselves approved unto HIM. That is a command; not a request. So although we can see how the “traditions of men” and the “traditions of the elders” can cause people to err, we must research history and truth in order to remove error from us. Ultimately each of us must bear the consequences for our individual actions. We will not be able to blame our preachers, teachers or “priests”.

      I hope this helps explain your question and I hope that you will start using HIS NAME. There is power in HIS NAME.

      HalleluYAH! Praise YAH!

      Scripture SCREAMS it. The prophesies CONFIRM it. Archeology, historical accounts, language studies – ALL OF IT, blasts the truth of it.

    • I’m with you Vlad, but it goes beyond even the influence of the Universalist (NWO) Catholic cult. Imagine our wonderful children being required to engage in Buddhist chants or noon day prayers to allah. I can see all kinds of problems with this.

      These things would not be a problem if we had NEVER allowed the Edomite jews into our nation! THEY are the ones who started all this crap. It’s their same demonic M.O. for thousands and thousands of years.

      We were COMMANDED, as a people, to be holy and separate. There was a very good reason for this COMMAND and now we can see why. Of course we already had plenty of historical examples in the scripture, but we are so hard headed that it seems we never learn.

      Please wait...
  17. I am glad they will not allow this religious music; not because I disagree with Christianity. This nation was formed as a Christian Republic and it was Christian ideals which made it great. But now that the Edomite jews and their treasonous lackeys have allowed every heathen under the sun into this once great nation, I would not want to even open the door of possibility that a damned Edomite jew or Muslim mud could have the opportunity to fill our airwaves with their FILTH at public events of this type.

    In this nation, parents still have the option to privately educate their children either at home or some other venue. Parents should exercise this right and remove their pure White Israelite children from the effects of disgusting heathen races.

    Be ye separate! That’s not just something nice to do. It is a command.
