Right on cue, Israel and Hamas exchange blows. Jesus, this is going to be tough. I have to say, frankly, neither McCain or Obama are ideal leaders for this country right now. I mean I know you guys are happy with the positive message and all, and the election of a black dude to the Presidency is indeed significant, but neither person really has shown me that they are (potentially) capable of handling the delicate times ahead. We're not out of the woods by a long shot on many fronts: the economy; the real puppet masters to the east, Russia and China are acting like the cold war never ended (which it didn't, so I guess I can't blame them); some seriously {censored}ed up domestic matters. On the latter, especially, I don't trust Obama at all. For foreign relations, I hope, at least, O is as conniving and ruthless as he was during his campaign. Sort of a Putin-west. In my view more government is the antithesis of what we need now, and O has promised heaps more instead. Ugh. I wish the country good luck, and I mean that.

he's black and that scares neo-conservatives. thems pesky negroes be going to run amok and rape our white women. I can not believe YOU just typed that. I guess you're out of the closet, too. Must be the high from the victory.

yea, it was such a huge margin were not splitting hairs like 4 years ago.. I'll give the messiah his due, but the electoral margin is pretty insignificant compared to popular vote. The popular vote was/is somewhat tight.

Yeah, I'm going to call it for HCKSS. The messiah wins. I hope I'm wrong about him.

simply said; pighood is a lifelong loser Says the person with 11,665 posts in two years on a music forum.

I'm alright with abortion; liberal democrats ought to practice it more - no age limit. The more the democrats abort themselves, the better, frankly. You know, and if the abortion fails, then Obama can lay you on a table near a closet and let you starve to death. You'll die, eventually.

I thought the bible was written way before there even were governments... Just becasue "you think" doesn't mean you're thinking, or, you know.

I feel the global climate change is real and man has probably accelerated it through pollution. I also see absolutely NO PROBLEM with industries' taking stronger measures to make less of an impact on the environment. Why do you want to force your beliefs on the rest of us?

relevance? Im kind of confused by the propaganda by both sides honestly. I dont believe Al Gore, and i dont believe the deniers. I believe people shouldnt get so crazy about this buzzword, and just take care of the earth, dont put bad stuff in the air, dont mess with it too much. that being said, the earth is a strong mofo. thats all you get, baiter I see. So, you feel that your position is centrist?

sorry, one freak at a time, please. Do you feel global climate change is real and caused by man?

I was making a distinction between interceding to God in someone's favor (I've seen people making a board with people's pictures so they wouldn't forget who they are praying for), and praying to a person instead of God. I think everybody knows catholics pray to people, not just God. Just not living people like Bush, they have to be Rome-approved saints. I know catholics who only pray to God, by the way, and in that way they are more in line with the bible. But catholic doctrine does teach that people can and should be encouraged to pray to Mary and the saints. I'm not trying to pick a fight here, just pointing out the differences between the Roman Catholic church and the evangelical churches. Evangelical churches were portrayed in "Jesus Camp", not catholic churches. I see where you are coming from. This would be a different thread, then, because I think it's a technical point on Bible interpretation rather than a rational point.

however, scientifically there is (as of yet) no way to really prove when life begins, no? so how can you possibly force this belief upon people who dont share your view of god? Hi. What do you feel about global warming (or cooling, depending on the election year)? Thanks!

Let's apply Occam's Razor here and take an intelligent guess: http://volokh.com/posts/1216451854.shtml It was clear what Hitler intended long before he came to power. Likewise, I think it's also pretty clear what Obama intends. I can't believe I'm actually engaging this absurd argument. Please bow out, then. The Sturmabteilung awaits you!

I tend to think that founding Israel was a mistake in the first place but that's another thread. Why is it that for you wingnuts it's always 1939? Where is Obama's Mein Kampf? I'm talking 2008. You are talking 1939, which, if you're trying to pwn me somehow, wouldn't be the correct year to point out anyway. You leftist goons are like bricks. Obama has several books he has "authored" - although how much of each book he actually wrote is up for debate; and there are hours and hours of audio, and pages and pages of transcripts, of the things Obama has said. Obama has laid out the framework for destorying the country as we know it.

Why do you say they were? Because they were kneeled down by the Bush image? They were talking to God, who is a spirit and not an image, and they were interceding for our government, as all Christians should do. And any christian knows that we pray go God and not to things. I call BS on you having bible training, unless it's catholic training (they make tons of images and will pray to anything. Sorry if some here are catholics, but it's true... there's some catholic churches where people get into where they have literally hundreds of Rome-approved images of saints, and people pray to each and every one of them). That's not true, CR. Anyone, regardless of the religion they subscribe to, is capable of being materialistic, and does not understand, appreciate and/or respect the greater truth. I guarantee you there are people of your faith who prayed to win a football game, or the lotto. There's a point where dogma becomes irrelevant and "religion", or more precisely "God", transcends the shackles of the human capability to comprehend.
