More young New Zealand youth have gone to jail, this time for killing a little girl, Nia Glassie. They are all victim's of New Zealand's slack attitude and failure to protect the heart's and mind's of our most vulnerable. From conception you can be sucked out with a suction machine and if you are one of the chosen generation you might get to be born into a house where your mum prostitutes in the same bedroom you sleep in, she shoots- up drugs using needles supplied by governmnent agencies, dad is 'out of it' on home distilled gin or whiskey or just literally out of it, away in another country...all totally legal in New Zealand. Then there's your bro's and bro-like sister's who are 2nd or 3rd generation out-of-it's and they too have some terrible pastimes too. When you wake up and when you go to bed/school/kohanga reo, there's killing and cursing and beating and robbing and maiming on the life-like sized television screens and there's more of it on free-to-air government TV stations when you can't buy it, and sex between two men or two women if that's what you're into or accepting as norm...The Green Party, Labour, Progressives, National, Act parties, and well all the pollies think it's all good, well they must do, none of them ever puts a stop to it! The young men who have just gone to jail look just like my own sons. Young, athletic, and with so much potential. My heart goes out to them because if they'd had a better start in life, loved in a good Christian home or been brought up religiously in say a muslim country, they wouldn't have killed Nia would they....
People who had the power to make a difference to the moral fiber of our country didn't and people who will now have the power to change hopefully will.

Thank's to Fox for this report. I've added a comment at the end of this article.
'Why Believe in a God?' Ad Campaign Launches on D.C. Buses
Wednesday, November 12, 2008
WASHINGTON, D.C. — You better watch out. There is a new combatant in the Christmas wars.
Ads proclaiming, "Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness' sake," will appear on Washington, D.C., buses starting next week and running through December. The American Humanist Association unveiled the provocative $40,000 holiday ad campaign Tuesday.
In lifting lyrics from "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," the Washington-based group is wading into what has become a perennial debate over commercialism, religion in the public square and the meaning of Christmas.
"We are trying to reach our audience, and sometimes in order to reach an audience, everybody has to hear you," said Fred Edwords, spokesman for the humanist group. "Our reason for doing it during the holidays is there are an awful lot of agnostics, atheists and other types of non-theists who feel a little alone during the holidays because of its association with traditional religion."
To that end, the ads and posters will include a link to a Web site that will seek to connect and organize like-minded thinkers in the D.C. area, Edwords said.
Edwords said the purpose isn't to argue that God doesn't exist or change minds about a deity, although "we are trying to plant a seed of rational thought and critical thinking and questioning in people's minds."
The group defines humanism as "a progressive philosophy of life that, without theism, affirms our responsibility to lead ethical lives of value to self and humanity."
Last month, the British Humanist Association caused a ruckus announcing a similar campaign on London buses with the message: "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."
In Washington, the humanists' campaign comes as conservative Christian groups gear up their efforts to keep Christ in Christmas. In the past five years, groups such as the American Family Association and the Catholic League have criticized or threatened boycotts of retailers who use generic "holiday" greetings.
In mid-October, the American Family Association started selling buttons that say "It's OK to say Merry Christmas." The humanists' entry into the marketplace of ideas did not impress AFA president Tim Wildmon.
"It's a stupid ad," he said. "How do we define 'good' if we don't believe in God? God in his word, the Bible, tells us what's good and bad and right and wrong. If we are each ourselves defining what's good, it's going to be a crazy world."
Also on Tuesday, the Orlando, Fla.-based Liberty Counsel, a conservative Christian legal group, launched its sixth annual "Friend or Foe Christmas Campaign." Liberty Counsel has intervened in disputes over nativity scenes and government bans on Christmas decorations, among other things.
"It's the ultimate grinch to say there is no God at a time when millions of people around the world celebrate the birth of Christ," said Mathew Staver, the group's chairman and dean of the Liberty University School of Law. "Certainly, they have the right to believe what they want but this is insulting."
Best-selling books by authors such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens have fueled interest in "the new atheism" — a more in-your-face argument against God's existence.
Yet few Americans describe themselves as atheist or agnostic; a Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life poll from earlier this year found 92 percent of Americans believe in God.
There was no debate at the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority over whether to take the ad. Spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein said the agency accepts ads that aren't obscene or pornographic.

NOW FROM THE ONEWHOKNOWS DESK...
Anyone who uses the GOOD word should consider where it comes from. It is from GOD who is the only one worthy to be called 'GOOD', for ONLY GOD IS GOOD. Read Matthew 19:17 in The Bible.
Maybe the churches should put up some proclamations on buses too.
Some declaring:
"USA FOUNDED ON CHRISTIANITY AND BLESSED WE KNOW WHAT GOOD IS"
'GOOD AND EVIL, BLESSED TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.'
"'ONLY GOD IS GOOD. (The reason we sinners need the Savior now!)' MATHEW 19:17.
"ON THE COIN OF AN ATHEIST STATE: 'IN MAN WE TRUST'" ( a large coin with those words on it would be an eye catcher)

Happy Birthday Radio Rhema
A blessing of 30 years on air in New Zealand is Christian Radio Rhema. Thanks be to people on a mission beginning with Dick Berry, who didn't cave in when some didn't believe God would see it to fruition but then other's also believed in His provision and the rest is history, 30 good years of it. Thank you Lord, please protect the stations from those who would seek to get it off air or the message of your Gospel watered down.

Palin Significance
United States of America have voted for a new President and it's neat he's a black man and I say that only because of the slave and discriminatory history black people suffered there. But if Barack Obama is truly a child of God, he knows God doesn't care about the colour of his skin.
It was sad Sarah Palin's day to shine as Vice President hasn't come yet but I think she will shine on anywhere and all the time. She is a breath of fresh air woman and copped heaps of flack for being a lady significantly comfortable in skirts, high heels and lipstick and not knowing her geography! That is so cool in this day of hairy legs, butch haircuts, intelligentsias and the like...
I can't wait to vote here tomorrow. I cannot vote for any party but a Christian Party and so will be voting for the Family Party. I want change Lord, please.
