He pretends to be a Christian and he incriminates himself everytime he speaks about Christianity. To lie about being a believer in Christ is very dangerous. Lightning could strike him at any minute!

Victoria Jackson's entire comedy repertoire consisted of talking like an 8 year old girl and acting confused. Even her political opinions aren't as painful to endure as her "comedy."

I always thought her comedy routine was an act. It turns out she really is an idiot.

I went ahead and switched in the booth today. I was going to write in Paul, but said what the heck, and hit Obama/Biden. Palin was a no go for me from the start. I could have gotten behind a moderate VP if McCain would have chose one, but his utter lack of regard for the office and this woman's critical thinking skills and lack of understanding of things outside of Alaska was too much.

My decision was based on the fact that Obama's message of bipartisanship and working together with repubs appealed to me. I also have always agreed with his stance on the Iraq war. Taxes and government spending are big issues for me to overlook, but I saw no other choice in the end. I hope the national healthcare system gets put on the very back burner.

One more point, I also voted for him because I think it will go a long way in repairing America's image in the rest of the world. We will have a person in office that, at one time in our country's short history, would have been enslaved. I think that's a major step for America and shows that the American dream is still alive and well.

I love this because this may be the one and only time ever in our lives when we agree on something.

I'm glad you exercised your right to vote, regardless if you voted Marxist...

I think when it comes to issues of faith- as discussed above- that people are called to move beyond the simple notion of saying-- I trust God so now I do not have to do anything. As if that is all that is expected. But I do not agree with that. I believe in faith and believe in trust, but God still calls me to thought and action. I am required to use my gifts and intellect to make choices-- all with the proper focus and intention. But it is not accurate to say that somehow I can do whatever I want without any investigation or attempt to discover the issues and claim it is all fine and justified because I said I trust God. I believe very deeply in personal responsibility. We all have choices to make in life. We do not sit and do nothing, so somehow we make decisions. That is where people do not understand, because to make a choice or a statement without any regard for the facts of the matter is careless and irresponsible, and to lay the responsibility at God's feet is not, in my opinion, correct. Sure, you can pray to make the right choice, and you can ponder all in the context of your faith, but at some point and time you do become responsible for your choices, and you have to own up to how you have made them. I do not know about you, but God does not come and tell me what to do. I can try to discern it in my life, and I think my intentions do matter, but to me to make a decision in good faith requires that I use all at my disposal to make an informed choice within the context of my beliefs.

That is why i asked Angel- how much she had researched both candidates' faith fully and equally so that she could make an informed choice. Your criteria can be faith-based, but the information you put through that process must be as well-informed as possible.

I agree with this.

I do believe in using common sense in making decisions.

At the same time though, I must remain open in the case which God instructs me to do something which may not make complete ( or any) sense to me.

I can testify that I have prospered every time I listened to God.

Would you end somebody's life if god instructed you to?

Is this true prosperity, like, "I'm so glad I demanded a raise from my boss and got it!", or the fake prosperity, like, "I know that I just lost my job... but now I have opportunities to get a better one!"

[ratm1221]

Would you end somebody's life if god instructed you to?

I'm sure she would. I wouldn't put anything past this lunatic.

[angel_luv]

I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt that this was a sincere and not a sarcastic question.

God would not instruct me to do something which is in violation of His Word.
See the Ten Commandments for the answer to your question.
(Exodus 20)

I have two jobs and in the past year was given raises at both, without even having to ask.

It was sincere.

Well, you said:

"I must remain open in the case which God instructs me to do something which may not make complete ( or any) sense to me."

that's why I was wondering...

So was Joshua obeying the commandment that says "thou shall not murder" when he stormed Jericho and killed all those people inside the walls?

You can tell it's sarcastic by the way he spells God.

[Shastafarian]

Not everyone thinks god reads the interwebs. A lowercase "g" isn't gonna kill anyone.

[ElNono]

That's pretty much how I always spelled it. Why? Is there something wrong with that?

[romad_20]

No, but old testament god will.

[Shastafarian]

He thinks as long as you capitalize the "g" in god you aren't breaking the "thou shall not use my name in vain" commandment. He's wrong but it's still funny.

[Trainwreck2100]

Christian god is spelled God.

[Shastafarian]

No, but old testament god will.

Nice
