Wanna know what "Christian" Valentine's Day
is all about? Here is an excerpt from the latest Christian Book Distributors
catalog for a book under the category of "Valentine's Day":
==Stories for a
Romantic Heart Compiled
by Alice Gray. Do you still have that musty, timeworn letter from your
first beau? ,,, If you're a hopleless romantic,
you'll cherish the 25 faith-filled stories in this heartwarming collection
...==
We know what "first beau" is implying. It is
implying that the "first beau" isn't one's current husband but is
that "first boyfriend" that a woman had. It's like when a
"Christian" author encourages the reader to reminisce about her "first
kiss." This should be utterly disgusting to every Christian. Some think
this is just "harmless reminiscing," especially if there was nothing
but hand-holding and kissing (no sexual intercourse). But it is utterly evil
and wicked. Why would a Christian look back with fondness on such wickedness?
THAT'S what "being romantic" is all about.
Which reminds me ... people like John Reisinger would
call me a cultist for saying that Christians should throw away their old high
school yearbooks with all the wicked writing from all your wicked former
friends that reminded you of your old wicked times. He says it's just like a
cult leader to tell people to deny their past and believe that their life
started when they met the cult leader. But what would a Christian want to have
these reminders around for, anyway? Would a Christian want to look back with
fondness on such times, wishing to relive them?
And if you want to fill up the rest of the "Popular Christianity is
Disgusting" vault, all you have to do is look at the "Christian
Romance" section of your local "Christian" bookstore or see the
descriptions of them on the Christian Book Distributors web site, such as:
"Jordan Ferguson and
Shawna Frye became good friends a few months back--when Jordan made it on the
cheerleading team and started hanging with a new group of friends. That's how
the Timothy Lawrence incident happened. ... When Timothy suddenly dumps
Shawna--to start seeing Jordan--rumors start flying. Shawna gets her revenge,
first by smearing her former friend's reputation. Then she steals back Timothy
by tempting him with an offer he can't refuse. Jordan feels absolutely green
with envy--so much so that she considers doing everything in her power to get
him back. Everything. Luckily, her old friend Kara
Hendricks has been down that road too and knows Someone who just might be able
to help Jordan as well."

"Jace Randall is a hard-working young man, so

answer to Scott's prayers?"
"A gripping story of human relationships, passionate love, faith and
spiritual testing. Set in the world of high finance, intrigue, and
international terrorism, the lives of David, Jonathan, and Leah intermingle on
many levels - especially their relationship with one another and God. Immersed
in her research, Leah Beaumont has no time to fall in love. Undaunted, Jonathan
Grante falls in love with her. Challenged and
fascinated by her French-Jewish background, he pursues her with determination.
David Rothman, a Penn State gymnast, is also smitten by this Jewish girl. As he
seeks her friendship and affection, an emotional triangle is set up that begs
to be resolved. As the two men tangle with each other in a rising whirlwind of
excitement and danger, each hopes to win the fight for Leah's love. One of
these rivals will move Leah to a level of commitment and love she has never
imagined - or dared to dream. Whom will she choose?"
"Against her better judgment, young widow Clemma
Laird finds herself attracted to Dr. Paul Blaine, a man shunned by the
community. As she is drawn into Dr. Blaine's life work, she discovers the truth

use Paul's suffering to change Clemma?"
"Not able to ignore his traveling companion's plight, Edward abandons his

measures."
"Soon after aspiring author Amy Hawkins moves from New York City to sleepy

carpenter, Ben Callan, start vying for her attention.
But when the beautiful Mallory Powers is hired to
train horses for Jake, will it create a love triangle that's destined to bring
grief?"
What's the difference between these "Christian" romance novels and
the worldly ones, other than that the "Christian" ones aren't
explicit? There's still sexual attraction and innuendo everywhere! It's
soft-porn for pseudo-Christians!
PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKE!!!!!
