    I don't question her faith, but given a choice would she be to quick to die? In otherwords does she believe so fervently that she is saved that she also believes her death would be a reward from God?

    Talk about mocking God and others' personal beliefs, how about this article mocking Christians? Even if you're not a member of the Assembly of God beliefs? And how come we only hear about Palin's religious beliefs but nothing about Obama's? Atleast Palin's beliefs come from a source: the Bible, rather than Obama's which come from 'popular' 'feel-good' 'make everyone happy' christianity.

    I've never heard anything so biased in my life. Mainstream media--there you go.

    And if Obama doesn't win... well, since the media told us differently (which may be a lie)everyone will blame it on race since nobody would obviously vote for someone who has beliefs which go against the grain... right?

    May you please mind your own religion & beliefs. As long as she believe in Christianity, she's a pro life, follows the commandments of God, with morale and cares for people that is what matters in human life.
    The problem in this country are, people can not be their own self anymore, they don't have their own originality, they copy everything they see on television. This Obama thing, he is not a man who is true to himself, he's just been dictated by people who has the money, he can't run the country just by relying on what he knows and what he can do. If he wins, he will run the country based by what the people who have contributed to his campaign will tell him. These media people, of course they are getting chunks of money from Obama's financiers. So people of America open your eyes, open your mind, and most of all open your eyes to God. He will not let America ruled by a man who will make this country be under muslim nations. Obama is a muslim no doubt. If you love your children, grandchildren, family and yourself don not vote for him. Do not make those singers, stars, actors, actresses lured you to vote for Obama. These people in hollywood has nothing to offer you. They don't have morals, no sense of value. They would like you to vote for Obama so they can marry their gay partners. Do you think they knew Obama so well that they are telling you to vote for him?
    NO, no, and no, they just want him to win so they can marry their gay partners, they can have abortion, and they can live their immoral life, no dignity. Don't make them your model.
    Please preserve America, remember our forefathers, grandfather, father who all give their lives just to save this country from all evils. Let's all be children of God not children of satan.
    they always see

      In your first sentence you say to mind your own religious beliefs....then go on to preach about your god and how everyone should be looking to "him/her/it." Then there's a reference implying that anyone who doesn't adhere to the whole jesus/god thing is "satanic." What a bunch of rubbish. Satan is a creation of Christianity and there are MANY others on this planet, good people mind you, who do not - and will never - buy into the "jesus/god savior crap." How about YOU mind YOUR OWN religious beliefs. Spirituality is a personal matter and no one else's business unless they start using that religion to try and hurt and/or influence the general rights of others.

    THE REAL JOHN MCCAIN

    Make-Believe Maverick ; A closer look at the life and career of John McCain reveals a disturbing record of recklessness and dishonesty

    I am not voting for a spiritual leader for the White House. We can not rely on our government to spread Gods love and grace though out the world. That cross is not for our government to bare but for each individual to accept. I myself am pro-life X2. Wars, poverty, greed and indifference kill too. I don't see or sense that McCain has a heart of compassion aside from his ideology. Yes, he is pro-life but that not enough.
    eeenough.

    To hell with religion... All of them believe in some magical occurrences and everything that we can see in our world in some manifestation of "God". Anyone who tells me that man walked with dinosaurs makes me sick and anyone who thinks that the world has been around for only 6,000 years should not be allowed to run any kind of government.
    If we would be knowledgeable about the world, then religions would vanish just like the dinos did 65 million years ago...

    "Nowforthetruth": You just reposted again a stale old posting with the same old innuendo.

    In an earlier posting your exposition is that Palin is not a Socialist since she took money money from oil companies and redistributed it to Alaska citizens... It's not Socialism because "Alaska has no State taxes... It is not taking money from one person and giving it to another person." Where did the oil companies get that money?

    Palin took all the earmarked federal tax money she could, hired a lobbyist to get more, took the 'Bridge To Nowhere' federal tax earmark funds, while repeatedly telling the electorate that she told Congress "no thanks". And then she cuts a check to everyone in Alaska. You say that's not Socialism or Redistribution, you say that's "capitalism".

    But I should fear Obama as a "The Redistributionist In Chief" and a "Socialist" because he wants to roll back a tax break for the rich that (before he sold out to the right wing) McC opposed and called 'irresponsible" because it benefitted "only the rich"?

    Is your most recent reposting here directed to fears about "Socialism", or is it just innuendo, or are we trying to fold in a little racism too?

    I've got an idea, since we have no more ideas, let's keep running our campaign on fear, smears and hypocrisy.

    Yeah, that's the ticket!

    Keep repeating the same old stuff "Nowforthetruth", you're really helping!

    LDJ Alabama: Christian nation? You just don't get it, do you? Where does that leave Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists, or any others who don't call themselves Christians? You're so self absorbed in your own beliefs that you don't even accept the fact that this country was founded on freedom or religion. And this notion that Christianity is the answer to saving our youth is going to get us nowhere. It is the responsibility of parents to raise their children, not the church, not schools, and not our government. Soon to be President Elect Barack Obama is already spreading this message.

    I will thank God when the power in this country is taken away from the "Christian Coalition"

    Genesis 1:26-27 says that Adam is considered male and female by GOD. Human beings says that women are inferior. JESUS' Ministery on earth was supported by many women and women were among HIS disciples.

    all you guys that are blaming the liberal media should do some research, last i checked cbs, nbc, msnbc, and fox are all majority owned and supported by the republican party. This is also true of pretty much every mainstream media news paper and magazine out there. Its amazing the amount of ignorance displayed here. This entire election all these news outlets have done nothing but bash obama, who I might add is not even Muslim. He did not attend rev. wrights church at all, was 4yrs old when his family knew him as an acquaintance, and who obviously doesn???t hate America. Unlike palin who has been documented saying more hateful things about America then obama has, which he hasn???t said any. This has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with personal character, qualifications, and political views. Religion should have no part in government, and should be entirely personal. Every body should keep their beliefs to themselves, learn to have an open mind, and stop judging people based on things you have no idea about. Obama and biden have done nothing but address, issues and go over plans of action that will boost the economy, and help the average person like me and you. McCain palin, well they have done nothing but avoid answering questions, state falsities that attack character, and make hasty decisions based on outside interests.

    Oh dear.............
    When it comes to the media these days, they majoratively portay a loud claim to some kind of intellectual superiority to those of us, who know, that we serve a risen Saviour and follow the one true God.... and intellectually that might be true!!. ( But I challenge the writers to read the book of John- New Testament section of the Holy Bible or read the Sermon on the Mount in the book of Matthew in same section- with an open mind at least, before espousing the damning and stinging comments to those of us who know its truths.). America has much to cherish......but sadly many have turned their backs on their first love, God;that which made America in the first place. Jefferson it was who said " God who gave us life, gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the mind of people that these liberties are a gift from God?That they are not violated but with His wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just and that His justice cannot sleep forever". Christians cannot help but empathize with that view.and tremble! Meanwhile the writers of the article concerning Sarah Palin and her authenticity as a Christian clearly set out to discredit her and write with the assumption that the reader is ignorant. That is appalling. It is the same failing we are all gulity of that surfaces time and time again. Our arrogance, our lack of humility, our lack of teachability, our greed and our blindness and our personal agenda's.. It is no coincidence that the global economy is collapsing under the weight of humankinds exercising of all these characteristics. Dear authors of said article, I implore you to learn some objective , gentle (not patronizing) critiquing of all, not just Sarah Palin, that you write of, (especially if you know not what of which you speak!! ). Jesus Christ was servant to all and is the greatest leader the world has ever seen, and will ever see, and continues to be today to all who follow his teachings and His living word.(Read the Bible, study it, it is so contemporary and relevant at all times). Sarah Palin, by her actions and words ,says she know the truth in following Jesus Christ. That should be exciting news and knowledge for the American peoples.. Even though I am not privileged to be an American, I am praying that God protect Sarah and her family, guide her in all she says and does, (along with all others in power who profess Jesus Christ), and that on election day, leads all who can vote for your great country to do so, and in the understanding that all peoples are equal in Gods sight and that the choices made, for whichever party, are made without the taint of outrageous prejudice.
    May God Bless America and may you authors of this commentary on Sarah Palin, have your eyes opened to the reality of a world in denial of the creator God!

    • Posted By: elithian @ 10/29/2008 1:44:27 PM

      Yes, Jefferson wrote that reflecting on our practice of slavery in this country. He surely thought there would be an accounting for this injustice. Well, there was and it is not Obama; it was the Civil War. It is also notable that Jefferson, one of the most influential framers, specifically wrote and voiced opposition to a state religeon fearing those in power would abuse the authority to subjegate and exploit the people, to subject them to unjust punishments, sanctions, and even death for what they believed. In Jefferson's America, one is only held accountable for one's actions, not one's beliefs. As you see, we have abandoned Jefferson in practice. Shall we now abridge his words and add Christianity to the constitution?

  • Posted By: dbbmdd @ 10/29/2008 1:39:50 PM

    Voting any way for someone who is not for our God or our Flag and troops as Obama is not for. I believe is sinning against our country and our Lord. You want a Muslim then move over seas.

    • Posted By: bronny72 @ 10/29/2008 9:59:09 AM

      First of all he is a Christian, remember when the media and you all were criticizing him for being in Jeremiah Wrights ministry, now you are calling him a Muslim because the Jeremiah Wright issue did not work. Why don't you just be honest and say you do not want a black person in office and stop covering it up with everything else. The bad thing about it all his name is not even muslim.

      • Posted By: viler @ 10/29/2008 1:36:04 PM

        I am black. And further more. Being for Muslim or any hate ministry he was in is wrong. Anyone who could sit under such pastoring is not my vote. By the way Obama is white too.

    We as christians, and yes I am a saved, santified and filled with the Holy Ghost pentecostal chriatian, we cannot blame all of the problems on the liberals. We stood back and did nothing when one women worked to have prayer taken out of school or when they removed the ten commandements from our buildings. How many of you who claim to be christians have planned to vote for Obama who will step on every christian standard this country was founded on just because you think he will get us out of this financial crisis. Christianity being under attack is nothing new, remember Saul's persecution of the church, but that only made it grow and in the end, he joined the cause. Nothing will defeat God, we need not worry about that. What we need to do is keep ourselves pure to the time of Jesus return (he is comming back, ready or not) and not stand back and say let someone else fight this battle or we may find ourselves having to hide our churches underground like so many other countries do. Those who spread the negative christian views are only blinded by Satan and need our prayers, not our anger. Vote for the one who holds christian views if you say you are a christian or check up on where your soul stands with God.
