Jesus and Witches

When are true journalists going to investigate the truth about Obama's ties to Arabs; has anyone looked into where the huge amounts of donations are coming from? What about Dr Surhan the Islamic radical who used influence to get him admitted to Harvard. How about the huge interest in Obama from Europe and the British college students who came to Ohio to fraudulently register young voters?? Why is England, which now is 33% Islamic so interested in the US elections?? Just follow the money trail. Think about it.

lol blossom, I dunno what you're responding to, but if everyone read the bible and did EVERYTHING that it instructs we'd be worse off than those who were under the taliban. It's ironic that you would call anyone a moron when you are displaying such ignorance about your own ideology. By the way, there is a hedonistic cultureout there, but many of those people still go to church on Sundays and get the same heady and arrogant feeling of righteousness that you're displaying right now. Religion doesn't make good people, it just happens that some good people buy into religion.

I have been reading the comments on this story. Some of you people really need to get a grip. Nowhere in this story does the name Barack Obama appear. NOWHERE!!! The only political statement at all mentions that one of the pastors told people they had a slim chance at salvationif they had voted for John Kerry. This is simply an article outlining the various factions of Evangelicals. They go from moderate to extreme. Sarah Palin is a national figure and an Evangelical Christian. Newsweek is doing is an article about Evangelical churches. The USA was founded on Freedom of religion. I am amazed to read the amount of hate generated by this article. Their is nothing negative or untrue about anyone in this article. A news magazine is not allowed to print a news story without arm chair analysts inserting invisible between the lines editorials???? Many of you must have read a very different article than I just read.

Freemason33,
Much of your information is entirely false. Most everyone knows that MOST of the mainstream media is LIBERAL. And had you been reading the responses on this matter, you would have faith in what was meant and not take it out of context!

Oh yea everybody knows most of mainstream media is liberal, of course, and you came to this conclusion because you looked at the groups of people that own and run these news outlets. You didn???t did you?, go look up who funds cbs and fox and get back to me, and also look at what other media outlets these companies own. Or better yet everybody goto youtube.com and watch a movie called ???wake up call??? it might wake some of you up.

as for taking what was said out of context, read the posts at the start of the blog, if I was muslium I???d be a little affended, wouldn???t you? Why can???t we all just beleave in people and good will toward all without the fear that god is watching, judging us, and ready to punish us. Because more then half the country is brain washed into some sort of religion.

Why does the McCain campaign say that Palin's religious beliefs, which will most likely form the basis of her attitudes, if not her behavior, is a private matter for her? When by contrast, the deeds that someone committed when Obama was 8 years old, are fully relevant to the understanding of the democratic candidate because of the fleeting association that Obama had with that person some twenty year later. Am I missing something here???

But rich in wisdom and truth. And also still love all of you regardless. God Bless America.

WHERE is Mitt Romney ??

SAVE US Mitt !!!

Save us from McStupid and Pain-in-the- *** !!

Your right McCain your no BUSH... HE WAS SMARTER !!

There is no "slippery slope" it is simple equal analysis of facts. Obama was roasted for weeks with the Rev Wright issue and successfully dealt with it head on. Palin has got to deal with this head on as well. If her believes are at the fringes of most peoples' faith then we need to get some setails. The woman wants to be running the show so we need to know if she believes in witchcraft or not....or are you just judging Obama by the color of skin?

I vote for Bill Maher for president.... at least he understands just how rediculous organized religion really is - and he'd keep that cr*p out of the white house. There's enough in the House and Senate already.

So then,???to all Palin antagonists, please explain what parallel, transitive arguments may be made of Obama???s faith and affiliations?

If your arguments hold true, then they apply to Obama???s beliefs and relationships as well.

What a nice Slippery Slope you???ve built your houses upon.

Common sense is worth repeating: Friends, who made their presidential choice based on their religious commitment, have recently made the McCain-Palin recommendation to me and I have real difficulty understanding that. First, I think that the strong memory of what has transpired over the last eight years makes anyone???s 2000/2004 decision to support Bush-Cheney, based on their appeal to conservative Christians, highly questionable. Next, talking about ???Christian values??? amounts to more than just ???pro-life???, marriage between a man and a woman and stem-cell research ethics, to really include honesty, integrity, equitable consideration of others and responsibility in government and also should be seen as appropriate ???human values???, not just Christian. Additionally, it has always been my understanding that all religions really teach that connecting with God/Allah/Yahweh/? is only achieved through humility, by getting out of one???s self rather than being egotistically ostentatious (which is then about one???s ego rather than God). Too many times it appears that many who are running around yelling ???alleluia, alleluia, praise be to thee??? are actually just saying ???look at me, look at me, aren???t I something to see???. I???ll match my faith with anyone without ever needing to flaunt it, personally feeling that the quiet connection has the real quality and sincerity. All of that said, I really question the forthrightness of those who solicit the benefit of the religious vote based on what they say and on how religiously demonstrative they are, yet who lack honesty, integrity, compassion and humility as clearly demonstrated in what has transpired over the last eight years, and in their supporting that and now in how they conduct themselves when campaigning. Once considering these things, I then have no hesitation in giving Obama and Bidden credit for their superior conduct and more convincing faith orientated consciences and feel that when I vote for them, I won???t be co-responsible for ???more of the same???.
