Sir Issac Newton (1642-1727)Did more than have an apple fall  on his head, he made astounding discoveries about light, gravity, invented Calculus, and theorized that artifical satellites could be put into orbit. His 3 laws of motion are STILL used today! Yep, he was a Christian. Oh, and he even tried alchemy and the occult. It took him 20 years to realize it was a huge waste of time. When he finally realized it though, he quit and stuck with Christianity.  Maybe some of you could learn from him?

Sixpence None The Richer
 
This alternative rock band that hails from the U.K. are all Christians. They even dedicated their first album to God (and says so in the liner notes). Their song titled Breathe Your Name is about God.  Yes, Christians can be "kewl".

 

 Billy Preston (1946-2006) Known as "The Brown Beatle". Grammy winning musician, song writer, performer, & session man who's career spanned five decades.

His marriage to Miss Vicky on The Tonight Show was the highest rated show in history for decades. Even though Anton LaVey thought Tiny Tim's style of music was "Satanic", in reality Tiny Tim was a Christian who read his Bible everyday, and was actually quite conservative in many ways! He publicly professed his Christian faith many times, including on T.V. interviews.

Bob Dylan 60's music icon;   



Alice Cooper - 70's Rock Music legend and golf addict. After 15 years of drugs and booze, Mr. Cooper wised up and gave his life back over to Jesus. Cooper's embrace of Christianity was more a return to faith than a coming to faith. "I was pretty much convinced all my life that there was just one God and there was Jesus Christ and there was the Devil," he said in a KNAC.com interview. Oh, and he was never really a Satanist. Deal with it. "You couldn't believe in God without believing in the Devil. I always tell bands that the most dangerous thing you can do is to believe in the concept of the Devil or the concept of God, because you're not giving them full credit. When you believe in God, you've got to believe in the all-powerful God. He's not just God, He's the all-powerful God and He has total control over everyone's life. The Devil, on the other hand, is a real character that's trying his hardest to tear your life apart. If you believe that this is just mythology, you're a prime target because you know that's exactly what Satan wants: To be a myth. But he's not a myth, of this I'm totally convinced. More than anything in the world, I'm convinced of that."  -- Alice Cooper, one of those "aful xtians" .

His career spanned 60 years. A pretentious wife beating Satanist with a criminal record, who's name bears no mentioning here, later claimed to be Montalba. How pathetic! Hit Thing records has re-released Montalba's recording on CD with liner notes that will hopefull clear up the slander!

Johnny Cash Grammy Award-winning American country singer-songwriter  He sold over 90 million albums in his nearly fifty-year career and came to occupy a "commanding position in music history". Cash is widely considered to be one of the most influential American musicians of the 20th century. The original "man in black", Johnny had a strong faith in Jesus Christ. As a young boy, Johnny had tapped his toes in schoolhouse revivals to the rhythm of guitars, mandolins, and banjos. He'd sung "Shall We Gather at the River?" during baptisms at the "blue hole." He'd been converted at age 12. "A beautiful peace came over me that night. I felt brand new," he recalls. He felt a touch of heaven when he put his cheek against his dying brother Jack's lips and heard him whisper, "I'm going to a beautiful city… I can hear the angels singing." He had his ups and downs, and friend Kris Kristofferson once remarked he was "a walking contradiction". In a behind the scenes look at "The Johnny Cash Show", Cash claims to have "tried every drug there was to try". Cash quit using drugs in 1968. Recommitting to his Christian faith, he answered an "altar call" in Evangel Temple, a small church in the Nashville area, Cash chose this church over many larger celebrity churches in the Nashville area because he said that there he was treated like just another parishioner and not a celebrity. Perhaps "Amazing Grace," written by John Newton after the hard-drinking, profane slave trader found God, best describes the journey of Johnny Cash from the pit of despair to the pinnacle of glory. The record shows that he has more lives than ten cats. He wrecked every car he had for seven years, totaled two jeeps and a camper, turned over two tractors and a bulldozer, sank two boats in separate accidents on a lake, jumped from a truck just before it went over a 600-foot cliff in California, brawled and incurred permanent scars, and drove himself into a wild frenzy many times with drugs.Yet when the raging voices quieted, there was always the "still, small voice" whispering, I am your God. 1 love you. I am waiting."The hand of God," Johnny Cash once said, "was never off me." In all of his wanderings, Johnny could never escape the "hound of heaven," which pursued him from his childhood. He has inspired Musicians from  Reba MacIntyer to Nine Inch Nails . In addition to Gospel songs, Cash also recorded a reading of the Bible and appeared at Billy Graham crudases. "There is no person in the world whom we [Ruth and Billy] have more affection for than Johnny Cash," said Billy Graham. Youth for Christ International named him "Man of the Year" in 1979 for helping young people. He attended a Pentecostal church outside Nashville, & received an honorary doctorate in humanities from Gardner-Webb College, a Southern Baptist school in North Carolina.  Johnny Cash, one of those "awful xtians".

Sir Alec Guinness (1914-2000) best known for his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars. He was one of the few cast members who believed that the film would be a box office hit and negotiated a deal for two percent of the gross, which made him very wealthy in later life. Guiness used to consult Tarot cards in one point in his life prior to that, until one day he decided the cards, with their  spades, cups, Heriophant, and such mocked the life of Jesus. He then burned the cards and later converted to Roman Catholicism ( from X-Rated, by Michael Munn, pg 93).

Alfred Hitchcock  Mis-identified as an atheist by some. One of the masters of cinema, Hitch was actually a devout Roman Catholic who attended church regularly throughout his life. His film North by Northwest (1959) is listed as one of "The 50 Best Catholic Movies of All Time". It is interesting to note that the three best directors who ever worked in Hollywood, Frank Capra, John Ford, and Alfred Hitchcock, were all practicing Catholics. So much for the idea of the detrimental effects in these times of the Church upon art.  "Almost without exception, they [Hitchcock's films, as well as DePalma's, Capra's, Scorsese, Copolla--all Catholics] display a Catholic sense of sin, guilt, atonement and redemption. Their most virtuous heroes struggle with grace as members of a communion of sinners. They seek redemption within a community rather than as individuals, and often salvation is mediated by a loving, self-sacrificing savior."  (from Afterimage by Blake)

Michael Gross Mike was the dad on "Family Ties". His sister Mary was on Saturday Night Live in the 80's and was Sabrina The Teenage Witch's teacher.

Chris Gardner A real life rags to riches story. Gardner escaped the poverty, alcoholism, and abuse that he had been exposed to growing up to become a multi-millionaire. After suffering many hard knocks in life, including being a homeless single parent for a year, Gardner overcame the obstacles to eventually establish the Gardner Rich and Co. Investment firm in Chicago. Today Gardner is also a motivational speaker and philanthropist. He is a contributer to the Cara Program and to the Glide Memorial United Methodist Church in San Francisco, where he and his son received desperately-needed shelter. Gardner remembers the encouragement he received from Reverend Cecil Williams, pastor of Glide Memorial . When he and his son would attend the church’s Sunday services, often something Rev. Williams said would stick in his mind. One such phrase, Gardner said, was the idea that “baby steps count too.” That simple word of encouragement helped Gardner press through the difficult days.  “As long as you are going forward, baby steps count too,” Gardner said. “And rolling my child through the streets of San Francisco, and up the hills and down the hills, and through the rain, I just kept saying to myself, 'Baby steps count too.'” His story became the basis for the 2006 Will Smith film "The Pursuit of Happyness". And he did it without gris gris bags, prosperity talismans, or knowing which Enochian Key to use. Just think, you can be a success with out sorcery!                
 

 

 

Rosa Parks She was a member of the African-Methodist -Episcopal Church, and actually believed in it too. Her Christian faith only made her feel sorry for the white tormentors who called her "nigger" or threw rocks at her as she walked to school. Reading Psalms 23 and 27 early on had given Rosa McCauley the strength to love her enemies, and eventually overcome them. All haters who mock Christians as weak take note: Christianity made her powerful and strong!

Dr. Rev.Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) Rev. King often quoted the Bible in his many speeches, and compared the 60's Civil Rights movement to the Exodus of the Jews under Pharo.  He was a Christian minister, husband and father, a civil-rights leader, advocate of non-violence resistance to achieve desegregation in the US, and an internationally recognized Nobel Peace Prize recipient. "I have a dream today. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the GLORY OF THE LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope...This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, 'My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring'." The words of Rev. King continue to inspire many people today to find the courage and energy to work for social changes that serve equality, extend freedoms, secure justice, raise human dignity. Martin Luther King Jr., one of those "awful xtians".    
 
Abbot Iscu Many people nowadays are too young to remember the Cold War and the evil Soviet Union that enslaved half of Europe. The Christians were targeted for elimination in this “worker’s paradise”. In Romania, 1951, Abbot Iscu was one such “awful xtian” who was jailed and tortured by the Communists. He was tortured and beaten and ordered to renounce Christ, which he would not do. Ironically, one of the very men who tortured the Abbot was later imprisoned himself…in a cell with Iscu. An occultist no doubt would have probably uttered some kind of death hex at this point (pointless of course, since the man was going to die anyway, but that’s how “Magick” usually works!). The guard was restless and afraid of the certain death that awaited him. But as both men awaited death from their injuries, the Abbot forgave the man for torturing him, and even led him to Christ. Both men died peacefully on Christmas Eve, 1951. Abbot Iscu, one of those “awful xtians”.
Richard Wurmbrant  (1909-2001) Born in Romania, Richard suffered imprisonment and torture under both the Nazis and Communists. While in prison, the Communists (who were atheists) forced the prisoners to have a mock communion using urine and feces in place of the elements. The torture Wurmbrand said he dreaded the most was a refridgerated cell. The guards would place a prisoner in the cell naked and leave them until the prisoner was almost at the point of death. Then they would take the prisoner out and revive them…only to place them back in the cell for another round of torture. Wurmbrand would later write the expirence was so terrible, even in his later years of freedom he dreaded to open a refridgerator door because of the flashbacks it caused. The man’s only crime for which he recived fourteen years  of imprisonment (and don’t expect to read about it on the OCRT website, run by Wiccans and atheists) was that he wanted to share the Christian faith with people. He became known as the "The Voice of the Underground Church", doing much to publicize the persecution of Christians in Communist (atheist run) countries. [Note: for information read Tortured for Christ by Richard Wirmbrand available from Amazon.com or Voice of the Martyrs].  Richard Wurmbrand, one of those “awful xtians”.



Maximilian Kolbe Many people are under the delusion that the Nazis were “xtians”. In truth, the Nazis leaders were Neopagan Odinists and athiests who sought to exterminate us “xtians”. After an escape from a concentration camp, 10 prisoners were rounded up by the Nazis to be executed in retaliation. One man begged for his life, pleading the Nazi’s not kill him. Fr. Kolbe stepped forward and asked to take the man’s place. The prisoners were taken away to slowly starve. While an occultist might have tried chanting spells to free himself (which wouldn’t have worked. Caglisostro and Franz Bardon and Edward Kelley couldn’t free themselves from prison, for instance ), or throwing some kind of hex (which also wouldn’t have worked). Fr. Kolbe comforted the other prisoners with prayers, songs, and stories of Christ’s sacrifice for them. The Nazis finished the job they started two weeks later, by injecting Fr. Kolbe with Carbolic Acid. The man who Fr. Kolbe had saved would later live to see his freedom, and tell the world of the man who saved him. Fr. Kolbe, one of those “awful xtians” killed under a Neopagan regime for being a Christian.

Bishop Ignatius of Antioch While many Neopagans fantasize the Pagans of ancient times as being wise and enlightened and possessing the magical powers they so crave, the truth is quite different. They were usually cruel, intolerant, and brutal. The Pagan Roman Emperor Trajan began the third period of persecution during his reign, believing Christians to be “superstitious”. One such Christian was Ignatius of Antioch. Brought before the Emperor for refusing to sacrifice animals to Pagan idols (gods), Trajan condemned him to death. In an arena he was torn apart by two lions while throngs of Pagans cheered in 111 A.D. His writings still survive among the works of the early church fathers.

Bishop Ignatius of Antioch: one of those “awful xtians” murdered by Pagans.

Chang Shen In the 19th century, Chang lived a life most Thelemites and Satanists dream of. He was a gambler, a womanizer, and a drunk. The people of his village thought there was no good in him. One day he lost his sight, which the villagers credited to punishment from their Bhuddist gods (idols). Chang heard of a hospital run by Christian missionarires (yep, those awful “xtians” again) hundreds of miles away that might be able to restore his eyesight. He made the long trek to the hospital…even though he was blind. When he arrived at the hospital, it was full, but the Hospital’s evangelist agreed to give up his own bed. Chang not only recived some of his eyesight back but he also became a Christian. During the boxer rebellion, many Christians were murdered by Chinese Pagans. Chang agreed to die in the place of other Christians who had been captured. The Chineese took him to a temple of the Chineese god (idol) of war…the equivalent to Roman Pagan Mars…and ordered him to worship. He refused. They ordered him to worship Bhudda, he refused again. He turned his back to the idols and sang a hymn to Christ. Three days later the Pagan Chineese murdered him. Fearing Chang’s ghost would seek revenge, the superstitious boxers fled the area, and many Christians were spared further wrath of these enlightened followers of Chineese Paganism. Chang Shen was murdered in 1890 A.D. and his only crime was he would not bow to Pagan idols. Chang Shen: one of those “awful xtians”.

Janani Lulim He was one of thousands of Christians murdered in Uganda. Idi Amin Dada was the butt of many jokes here in the U.S.A. in the 1970’s. The rolly-polly dictator, with his chest of medals seemed like a living joke to late night comedians. But Amin was no laughing matter for the thousands of Christians whom he slaughtered during his reign as Uganda’s dictator. Janani Lulim was one such Christian. He was tortured and killed and his only crime he was a Christian who refused to keep silent. Janani Lulim, one of those “awful xtians”.

Japanese “Kirishtans”In 1596  followers of the goddess worshipping Pagan religion known as Shinto and Bhuddists begun the persecution of Christians known as the “Kirishtan Holocaust”. You probably haven't heard of it, since hating Christians is politically corrct nowadays. The first victims were executed by crucifixion. The youngest martyr was only 12 years old. An estimated 1 million followers were killed over a period of 260 years which did not end until Japan was defeated by the Allies during World War II. The Japanese martyrs: some of those “awful xtians”.

     The Thundering Legion The bloodthirsty Pagan butcher Marcus Aurelis Antoninus was once the Emperor of Rome. He considered worship of the Pagan gods (idols) important to the success of the Empire, and thus considered Christianity to be heresy. He led the fourth major Pagan Roman persecution of Christians during 163 A.D. to 180 A.D. (Gee, Pagans are starting not to sound so tolerant, are they?) But during a war in Germany against the Quadi and Marcomanni (also Pagans), he and his army found themselves trapped in the mountains with no water. Antonius and the other Pagans beeged their gods for help and …nothing happened. The Pagan gods of Rome were just idols after all, and to paraphrase Ned Flanders, they might as well have been praying to Hawkman. A legion made up entirely of Christians stepped up and asked if they could pray for help with their situation. Antonius, feeling he had nothing left to lose, agreed. The Christians prayed, and a short time later it rained. The Romans were saved, and collected all the water they could, thanks to Jesus. The storm rumbled so loud that most of the enemy defected to the Romans out of fright. The Romans easily defeated the holdouts. The legion later became known as “The Thundering Legion”. Antonius in true Pagan fashion stopped his persecution...for a little while...but then when right back to it a few years later (ingrate!). The Thundering Legion, some of those “awful xtians”.                        

 Bishop Stanislaus of Krakow in 1097 this Bishop confronted King Boleslaw (known as “Boleslaw the Cruel”). The King pretended to listen to Bishop Stanislaus when he confronted him about his cruelty. Later, after his soldiers refused to murder the Bishop in church, the King himself murdered the Bishop with a dagger. Throughout the centuries, many Christians have stood up to tyrants for what we now call “social justice”. It isn’t a new thing. Bishop Stanislaus of Krakow, one of those “awful xtians”.



Teddy Roosevelt President of the U.S.A. and cousin to Franklin. Built the Panama Canal. First Prez to fly in an airplane. Also  created more protected land and natural parks than any other President. He was a Christian who once said "A good knowledge of the Bible is more important than a college education". Seems you CAN be a success without magic spells and be a "xtian" to boot! Bully!

 



Frankiln D. Roosevelt The guy on the dime. Also a president, and an unprecendented 4 termer at that. He put people to work during the Great Depression (my dad for one) with projects like the Conservation Corps. He kicked some Nazi posterior in WWII and showed handicapped people are handi-capable. He also proved the Nazi idea of handicapped people being "inferior" to be bunk like all their anti-Christian ideas. Once a reporter asked how FDR would describe himself, he replied "A Christian first and a Democrat second."

 
Harriet Tubman Tubman (1820-1931) became a friend of many of the best-known abolitionists and their sympathizers. John Brown referred to her in his letters as "one of the best and bravest persons on this continent—General Tubman as we call her."The pioneer of the underground railroad. Tubman's friends and fellow abolitionists claimed that the source of her strength came from her faith in God as deliverer and protector of the weak. "I always told God," she said, "'I'm going to hold steady on you, and you've got to see me through.'"  God always did. It wasn't Voodoo that freed Sister Tubman, it was Jesus Christ! Tubman said she would listen carefully to the voice of God as she led slaves north, and she would only go where she felt God was leading her. Fellow abolitionist Thomas Garrett said of her, "I never met any person of any color who had more confidence in the voice of God."


Saint Nicholas Yes Habondia Star Raven, there really was a Santa Claus! Saint Nicholas (Greek: Άγιος Νικόλαος , Agios Nikolaos, "victory of the people") is the common name for Nicholas of Myra, a 3rd Century Christian saint and Bishop of Myra in Lycia of Anatolia (in modern-day Turkey). Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercessions, he is also known as Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker. His name in Dutch is Santa Claus. His acts of charity saved three girls from being sold into prostitution. Inspired by his anonymous gifts of money, Christians remember his act by exchanging presents at Chistmas. So the next time someone mocks you for believeing in Jesus and says "Is Santa Claus real too?", now you can wipe that little self-righteous smirk right off their face!   

 

 

Corrie Ten Boom She and her family risked their freedom and their lives to save 10 Jews from the Holocaust. She and her sister were both sent to Dachau by the Nazis. Her sister lost her life there. Corrie was freed by a clerical error (i.e., a miracle) and after the war became an evangelist.This picture was taken after the war. Corrie is showing where the secret entrance to the hiding place was. Corrie never lost her faith in Christ, and her faith made her courageous and strong! Concerning difficult Bible passages, she said she just waited patiently, and eventually the answer to them came.                

                 
 
The Menonites These good folks live simple lives and wondrous works of charity. While Wiccans and Neopagans talk about getting "close to nature", the Menonites (and their cousins, the Amish and the Brethren) really do live close to nature! You may not have heard of them because they've never had a scandal for haters to gloat over. The Mennonite  Disaster Relieif Orginization helps out everytime there's a disaster.  They use their vacation time to help people rebuild their houses after hurricanes,  tornados, floods, and earthquakes. The people of Hardee county and several neighboring counties in Florida sure appreciated all the help they got when they got hit 4 times in 2004. The people devestated by Hurricane Katrina loved the help they got too! These folks cleaned debris, put new roofs on houses, did electrical work, carpentry, masonry, etc., whatever was needed, and all free of charge. Number of Neopagans who have helped to date: zero.If you guys want to prove how much better you are than the evil "xtians" you better get on the ball!  
 

 

 

 
 
The spread of Christianity in Western Europe eventually led to the abolition of slavery by the 13th century. Abolishonoists in the U.S.A (Christians) helped end slavery in the 19th century. Hundreds of Christian Abolishinists like the 3 pictured here helped end slavery in America.  
 

Florence Nightingale
 
The mother of modern nursing. She devoted her life to helping wounded soldiers during Crimean War . Inspired by what she took as "a Christian divine calling", experienced first in 1837 at Embley Park and later throughout her life, Florence committed herself to nursing. This horrible person was one of those awful "xtians", too. She cared for poor and indigent people. In December 1844, in response to a pauper's death in a workhouse infirmary in London that became a public scandal[citation needed], she became the leading advocate for improved medical care in the infirmaries and immediately engaged the support of Charles Villiers, then president of the Poor Law Board.During the Crimean campaign, Florence Nightingale gained the nickname "The Lady with the Lamp", deriving from a phrase in a report in The Times:
    She is a ‘ministering angel’ without any exaggeration in these hospitals, and as her slender form glides quietly along each corridor, every poor fellow's face softens with gratitude at the sight of her. When all the medical officers have retired for the night and silence and darkness have settled down upon those miles of prostrate sick, she may be observed alone, with a little lamp in her hand, making her solitary rounds. Nightingale wrote Notes on Nursing, which was published in 1860, a slim 136-page book that served as the cornerstone of the curriculum at the Nightingale School and other nursing schools established. Notes on Nursing also sold well to the general reading public and is considered a classic introduction to nursing. Nightingale would spend the rest of her life promoting the establishment and development of the nursing profession and organizing it into its modern form.In fact, many nurses are those awful "xtians" as well.

MERE CHRISTIANITY BY C.S.LEWIS You're probably familiar with C.S. Lewis. He's best remembered for the Chronicles of Narnia, which was inspired by the Gospel of Christ. Unlike LaVey, Lewis really did have a doctorate, and was a college professor to boot! Lewis lost his faith early in life and became an atheist, and later rediscovered Christianity through his friend J.R.Tolkien (of Lord of The Rings fame). Mere Christianity is perhaps is best non-fiction work. In it he presents a thinking person's Christianity, showing you don't have to ditch your brain to be a Christian!
