When Atheists Attack

RightThinker- Way to make baseless assumptions - did you ever stop to think that maybe someone is an atheist because no one can logically prove there IS a God? A belief in God is based on faith, not on fact, otherwise you do not truly believe. You should know that as believer in God.

While I personally believe in God, I can understand why someone does not, I struggled with the question of faith for a long time, because no one could prove it to me. I came to my own conclusions. An no book will prove it to a person either, it is a personal journey. The book by Strobel is an attempt to make money off of Christians. Look more into his history.

As far as Palin goes, Harris has only talked about hard FACTS with her. The things she has said and done. I believe in God and this woman still scares me. Her belief in God does not match anything I was taught or believe in the Bible. She is judgmental, when you are not supposed to judge and she is critical of anyone outside her family, but forgiving of her families indiscretions.

As far as McCain is concerned, he has lied far more than Obama in this campaign which does not match what I have been taught by my faith in God. In my view, Obama's behavior is closer to what I have been taught about faith than McCain or Palin.

Picking a president is more than about what you believe in abortion or what God you worship. God will hold me accountable if I pick the wrong person to lead my country. I believe God is already holding us accountable for picking Bush for a second term- look at our financial markets and the fact that people's homes are being taken away if you truly believe God tells us what he wants. Bush continues to kill more of God's children in Iraq and Afghanistan, and now America is suffering the consequences in all aspects of their lives.

God is telling us what he wants with this financial crisis caused by the Republicans who pretend to believe in Him. And for that reason, my faith tells me to stay away from Republican pretnenders.

"You can learn something about a person by the company she keeps. In the churches where Palin has worshiped for decades, parishioners enjoy "baptism in the Holy Spirit," "miraculous healings" and "the gift of tongues."" -- What a hypocritical statement here. We can judge Palin by her church but not Obama? What about the fact he went to a church which preached Anit-Americanism for over 20 years? No, no, no says the liberal media, this is just


What

In the time of George Washington and Lincoln, physicians believed that blood letting and putting leaches on people was healing them. In fact many healings are attributed to such foolishness.

Lets discuss all the other things people believed in 200 years ago as well. I think Hitler prayed too. What good did that do us?
Whether someone prays or not is not of my concern. What they do with the supposed sacred answer from on high....IS my business.

if they are to be president or vice president of the country in which I live my day to day life...I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED.

Harris is not simply attacking her faith. He is bringing light to her incompetence for the job of world leader of the leading, most influential nation in the modern world.

May he continue to attack and bring reasoning to light.

Thank goodness. Finally I feel like people are starting to take notice of the ridiculousness of this situation. Not only had I feared the american public had been sitting idly by, tuned out, happy to just push a button on election day, voting not on political issues, but on personality (and perhaps sex appeal), but I was equally appalled that no one seemed to take this conversation to the next level: she is a real threat to the public by her "every day" attitude. I have never been able to comprehend people wanting a politician who isn't above average. People liked George Bush because he seemed like a good ole boy, but it's always made me nervous to see people in a place of power that aren't more intelligent than I am.

I can't stop laughing....this "writer" is a joke.....he truly thinks he is superior to the vast majority of humans....All I can really say is....I'm glad he is an obamamohammed. He's why the McCain/Palin will win this election...IN A LANDSLIDE.

Sarah has more class and authority in her pinky finger, than these type even understand. She will SMOKE JoeBlowhard in their debate. It will go a long way to sealing the deal.

And NewsWeak prints this junk.

NOBAMA!!!

What is it about our country that two people can see the same facts and come up with two entirely different opinions. How does the fact that obama has written two books and gone to Harvard Law give him FAR more expierience. Last time I looked John McCain was running aginst Obamma. I do not have a collage degree but I have a sucessful business. Does this make me less inteligent that my degreed compition? Why must the liberal state of mind opperate on emotion rather than fact. I'm not talking about the facts that are put out by one side or the other,but real sources like the congressional record. It will soon be known WIDELY that Christopher Dodd and Barny Frank are personally responsible for encouraging the lowering of mortage standards and the lack of oversight. Yess ets help all the poor people. The ones who drop out of school, the ones who don't want to apply themselves and the ones who should never have gotten a home loan in the first place. Let's continue these policies and indeed expand them by electing Obama and watch as our economy circles the drain.

Please dear God take from us all the Bible beaters in a great rapture and leave the world to the rational people so that we may once, in history, be free from the idoit Christian fanatics. I pray to you, God ,that you may give them quick deliverence to the heaven they so desire and to let us stay here on this planet Earth.

dmorris@cebridge.net - In regards to your comment on leadership, have you been watching Obama's campaign? It has been the most innovative campaign we've seen in modern history from the way he has raised money to the way he played the delegate game with Hillary during the primaries. He hasn't lied during the process when everything out of McCain's and Palin's mouth has been a distortion of the truth or a flat out lie. If they are already lying to you now, can you imagine the lies if they get in office?
McCain is literally changing his positions from day to day even hour to hour in some cases, he has no idea where Spain is located or that Iraq and Afghanistan do not share a border and he doesn't know what a Sunni is versus a Shia. And worse of all he wants to do the same thing with healthcare that he endorsed for the financial markets (deregulation) and look how well that turned out.

If you can't vote for Obama, then write in Ron Paul, for the love of God, do not vote for McCain/Palin, they are a disaster waiting to happen.

Alabama for Oboma - 08

Speaking as one who was a member of the Assemblies of God church for over 20 years, I can confirm that this article is right on in its conclusions. The prospect of a Vice President Pallin just a heartbeat from the position of chief executive of the world's most powerful state is beyond scary!

And just what is Obamas qualifications to be in charge of the nuclear arsenal. He has never even managed a taco stand-much less earned a living from business- and does not even qualify as a McDonalds manager- you want this guy in the white house??????

As voters we need to know the facts. I think you are spot on. what else do they the McCain camp have to hide about the likely next President?

The reason the left have so much stress, about Sarah is very simple. It is not her education. It is not her experience. It is not her looks. It is not her success. It is...GUILT......you can not handle the fact...you have been involved in the MURDER of the most innocent and vulnerable among us. To MURDER the innocents is a huge burden to carry.

Sarah, not only rejects that option...she has been willing to accept and LOVE a child....you feel should have disposed of...like yesterdays trash...Your GUILT is unbearable...she FRIGHTENS you.....because she is REAL and is not going away..

There is an answer to your pain. There is an advocate. There is forgiveness. His name is JESUS. All you have to do is ask.

Sarah is annointed. The gates of Hell will not prevail. This is way above your pay grade.

NOBAMA!!!

Obviously Mr. Harris speaks on topics for which he has no personal experience or knowledge. There are a number of items that given the space could be debunked here regarding this article. However, to call Mrs. Palin's religious affiliation a "nuts-so" religion because the believers speak in "tongues" is to truly display a lack of knowlege on the topic of the "Holy Spirit" and what her particular religious association believes. I, too, am a firm believer in this "tongue-talking" faith, but to try to explain that kind of faith-enriching experience in this column would only be tossing my pearls to the swines! There are many fringe religions of this world, but the denomination that Mrs. Palin is associated with is not one of those weird, snake-handling, religions. Get your facts straight before you begin bashing someone's faith. Why not do a piece on Islamism and the strange beliefs those extremists have - kill myself and take as many infidels with me so that I can have my 70 virgins! Now, that's a religion to fear, not one in which the believers give money to feed the poor, help the homeless, provide children's homes for children that have been abused and abandoned, treat drug addicts. Check out the Convoy of Hope - it's one the greatest benevolent causes that assists hurricane and other victims of disasters. Teen Challenge has the highest "cure" rate of any drug rehabilitation ministry in the U.S. The U.S. Government was so impressed by their stats, that Teen Challenge was asked to minister to the Viet Nam Vets who returned home with drug addictions. There are many other community services that I could point to that these "wierd tongue talkers" provide. Instead of criticizing someone's faith how 'bout checking on the service that this organization provides. None of us are perfect, but your harsh rhetoric is a display of ignorance and probably a bit of jealousy! I hope you discover your own mortality and what lies ahead for you after this life before it's too late!
