When Atheists Attack

Wow. It still amazes me that there are so many spirit haters out there! A joyful believer that trusts
in the creator's dynamic powers, how sharemeful! What if I told you I prayed for a mishap to occur
on that big 10 billion dollar underground atomic projec? That I've been asking the Angels to
use their powers to divert the energies because I believed it went against the spirit?
Hmmmm....it happened. And I'm going to continue asking the angels to bring
many troubles to that project.
The spirit exists. Get over it. Embrace whatever you want (or don't want) but to attack
the fruits of the spriit will only leave you in greater darkness, shame, misery, sorrow, worry,
fear, pain, anxiety, emptiness,confusion,etc. . Call it Karma, whatever. The shield is mightier than
the sword. Shine on Sarah Palin!

What's alarming is to equate a resume with good decision making and/or effective leadership. If folks really think that bumming around the UN or having a Harvard degree makes for a "better" leader, then we best restrict the pool of political candidates to just those deemed "educated and experienced." Don't think Palin's the person for you? Fine...don't vote for her. But the notion that by tearing her down, discrediting her "experience" etc...somehow boosts the qualifications of Obama is silly. Look at Biden...30 some years of political hackery and what has it done the citizens of the US. Nothing. Still making stupid comments, still making self-interested decisions; still having to defer to a HUGE beauracracy of career government employees to fill in the details and provide him "his position" nearly every day. Obama? Community organizer....yeah...that says a lot. Harvard lawyer...impressive...not really; lawyers most certainly can screw things up just as easily as anyone else. It would be refreshing to see folks like Harris remember a core principle of what makes this country so unique and special. Its the freedom to strive and achieve regardless of social strata and other's perceptions of your "qualifications." Vote Obama...fine. Just spare us the smug "but she's not worthy" attitude.

Thank you Sam Harris! When I see a Pentecostal running for any office I have to shiver. They are as fringe and the Phelpsians. This country and the globe for that matter are doomed to self destruct as long as the religious are allowed to wield power in our political and social discourse and as long as "faith" is not evaluated as a neurosis but instead given carte blanche as truth (no matter whose book you're using at the time) with no burden of proof. The sun is green I say, the sun is green and so you must obey me!

PALIN DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT THE DOTS> FOR EXAMPLE TAKE HER DENIAL OF MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING!
There enlies the greed vs. being concerned with issues that are at the center of National Security. Global warming is caused by human activity. No one can dispute that. If we fail to curb our hunger for fossil fuel we might get our short term addiction satisfied but there is a higher price to be paid in the form of, just to name a few:
Rising temperatures mean
1. more viral diseases, for mosquito populations thrive in warm climates
2. More warming of the ocean temperatures mean less fisheries available in the entire planet. there is a direct connection between dead zones- coral bleaching, the increases in jelly fish population and the extinction of fisheries around the planet- In fact jelly fish will one day become our main seafood dish! YIKES!
3.meaner hurricanes, yes!! hurricanes get their fuel by warm waters and somehow the gulf region seems to be prone to them- exactly where almost 49% of all of our oil refinery capacity is located not to mention thousands of oil platforms! Mother nature is cleaning them up!!Paybacks are hell!!
3. Droughts, and extreme flooding are all related to global warming
4. Huge, massive famines will hit 3rd world countries , with it more spreadable diseases and huge population shifts. Guess where all like to come to, America baby, the land of opportunity
5.Forest fires and with it land erosion will add to the maladies that will trigger all types of global chaos
Now, what are the evangelicals calling this events:-JESUS IS COMING TO RESCUE THEM IN THE RAPTURE - PALIN shares this world view. HER family is immune for she is one of the saved ones!!
That is why they could care less for empirical science, in their world view they are giving God a hand. God will come when the last tree falls down!!
They can not connect the dots of a failing energy policy that makes us and the world more vulnerable economically, enviromentaly, and geopolitically for our wars are mostly around nations that have VAST OIL RESERVES.That is why American oil companies got no bid contracts to extract Iraki Oil fields this year. Yes! Our veterand died for enriching the oil barons.
McCain will put her as head of the Whit House energy commision because he could care less about global warming and more about oil companies. He thinks money , wealth makes his family immune to the environmental hazards of Global warming.
C'mmon Republicans, Independents, give up your ideological obssesions and vote for the most reasonable candidate to tackle these coming Tsunami, vote for Obama 08!


Palin is George Bush with lipstick.

OK so you hooked me with the headline "When Atheist Attack", which I thought would be expose an atheist. I am a Christian. 90% of Americans are Christians. And you and Newsweek consider it OK to attack the majority of Americans. The more the media, using flunkies like you, attack Sarah Palin and Christians, the more you unite all of us to vote Republican in this coming election.

As an Independent I had not made up my mind as to who I would be voting for. You have made my decision very easy. I now know that I must vote Republican come what may. You locked my vote in. Thank you for helping me decide. As I read your article I started to write my feedback which is:

You are a fool... we have been getting bad weather and there are many wars going on right now. Isn't that a sign of the end of an era and the beginning of a new one? Aren't those signs of the end times?

How do you justify your "intelligence" when you label Methodist as non-Christians? This makes you a bigger fool than I thought. When you attack religion and especially Sarah's faith you show yourself to be an ignaramus. She was not brought up as a Pentecostal... she converted to it in her teen years. So in essence you are saying "If a person is a Christian that person is not qualified to be a leader". But, how about Obama? Isn't he claiming to be a Christian, not a Muslim? How does he qualify?

Then you consider it fair game to attack Sarah's daughter while you attack her. You are the scum of the earth.

As see that you consider the "elites" the saviour of mankind. The "elites" where born with a silver spoon in their mouth and have been sheltered, from birth, from the realities of life. You must consider yourself to be one of those "elites" who supposely have all the answers.

Sarah Palin definitely is not one of those "elites". Who she is and what she has acomplished so far is due to her Christian upbringing in small town America. She is not a Washington "elite". Not one of those that act as if they are gods and pay no attention to what the citizens want. She is just like the average 90% of Americans. Hopefully Americans will vote in groves this fall for the Republican ticket, the party that has allowed such a worthy candidate as Sarah to be included. Yes, you made my vote easy as I read through your biased article I made my choice.

I must correct you that the "elites" we are talking about are those born with a silver spoon in their mouth, not those individuals who have risen to the top of their fields through dedication and hard work. I do want a competent pilot flying my plane. I do not want an "elitist" flying my plane.

I end my comments with: "You are a moron!"
