Jesus and Witches

My final comment is in regards to the ???crazy end-times scenarios??? comment. Whether people think are greatest issue in war is Oil or not- I can promise with all that I have observed, even after going through a strong time of questioning my faith that INEVITABLY, all wars are fought on matters of right/wrong -good vs. evil- and RELIGION. And our final wars WILL be about the latter, which of course is what the Bible tells us. PS. Maybe you should look into Revelations, last book of the Bible. It is, of course the only book that predicted the Jews reclaiming Israel, having taken place in 1950???s ???A key ingredient in the Biblical recipe for Christ???s return. If you had any idea about what is going on in Israel, you would see how Revelations consistently lines up. If you???d like any of your readers to consider your opinions on politics and religion again, I suggest you start writing more educated/informative based articles.

"We battle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, and rulers in high places." Christians are called to love everyone, but pray against what controls them.
To the person(s) who wrote this; your sentence "an intensity rarely seen in America's mainstream churches" refers to the prayers. No offence, but you haven't been in church lately. This is the 'kingdom attitude' of prayer. More and more people are finding that there is power in prayer as they tap into the power of Jesus Christ. Being 'more charismatic, very evangelical' is, to a point, what we need to be doing. We need to step out in faith and prayer and pray our guts out for our nation and our leaders and our troops. "we are not given a spirit of timidity, but one of power and strength." They fight the battles everyday so we can be free to do stuff: you know like write stuff on the internet.

Although I somewhat understand what you are trying to say, this particular passage "Alaska is a place of all types of extremes???including religion. Alaska has a large number of Russian Orthodox, and adherents of Native American religion" seems a little off the handle. What does the Russian Orthodox church have to do with the Pentecostal Church or extremism? If you look at the history of the two churches as well as the incredible difference between the two, you would not put them underneath the same category. Please before you write such an off handed comment, please do your research!

WOW - I would fire the reporter who was one of 30 and came back with Sarah being blessed. That is funny. At least the pastor wasn't yelling and sreaming god damm america and blaming the US for Aids and all of the black's problems with gangs and drugs on white people. Seems to me they were praising God for God - I think that's a plus. Americans are used to that type of religion - but we're not used of farakahn wanting Blacks to kills whites and Wright's black radical idiologhy. See more Americans can relate to Sarah being blessed - unlike the majority who finds Obama's religion crazy.
One thing is for sure though NOT News Week Anymore - Sarah won't have to have a 30 min spot on TV reasuring Americans she is not radical like her precher and close friends.

We NEED someone in the White House who seeks after God and His will. Whoever gets elected is certainly going to need divine help

How really low can you go showing Sarah Palin or anyone else in their religious worship. I thought this was America? At least she wasn't participating in a church which seems to sanctify ridicule of our country!

I love how the liberal spin doctors change him rebuking"witchcraft" to your inferrence that she follows witchcraft or believes in witches to try and cast a few more votes away from McCain. Print the truth and let the chips fall where they may.

I didn't know there was anything wrong with being a Christian and worshiping God. This country was founded by men that believed in God and their religious beliefs swayed them in the decisions they made for our country. Now, christians are made fun of and people like Obama that sat under a man that taught hate in the pulpit and used God's name in vain is being put on a pedestal. Something is sadly wrong with this picture.

I have not read the article and more than likely won't until the same research is done on Barrak Hussein Obama's religious beliefs. I can tell you... his story is far more interesting than Sarah's.

Furthermore, I'm calling on all born again believers to cancel their subscriptions to Newsweek and boycott all other associated periodicals.

I remember seeing a news article with the view it doesnt matter one bit if Obama is Christian, Muslim etc. Well why should we care about if Palin is Christian, a weird Christian or not a Christian.
(Please try to be consistent Newsweek/News outlets)
As for her views on other topics I think her problem is that she actually has a view and says what she thinks (right or wrong) and that draws fire from McCains campaign officials, Obama staff, and everyday individuals. However I would rather have someone speak there views/opinions based on self judgement and thought rather than what people told you to say and how to not step on anyones toes. Just my thoughts.

Unbelievable! We find out Obama pals around with terrorists, lied about opting into public financing, holds socialist values, and you are worried about Sarah Palin's religious beliefs. If the author knew anything about Christianity in Africa, you would know that it is common for them to encounter people who actively practice witchcraft and that would be a natural thing for a Kenyan pastor to pray. another sloppy piece of journalism by Newsweek.

Liberal media strikes again! Anything to malign this woman!!

I just don't understand how so many of you could actually think that having your religion in my face is OK. What if it were the other way around? Would you squeel like a pig? Religion has to be considered when a candidate is chosen. Once they're in office and changing our laws to suit their own ideologies is not the time to find out that they are not mainstream and could be a threat to our civil rights. I don't begrude anyone their right to practice what ever religion they choose but, I do when they try to tell me that I have to practice theirs. Isn't religious persecution why our ancestors landed in America?

This article was biased and offensive. It exudes liberalism and skepticism and attempts to cast doubt on Sarah Palin's rationale and capabilities. Shame on the media. Why don't you try reporting news instead of using your voice to sway public opinion?

The only place where I read Jesus and Witches in the same sentence was where the author of this article wrote it. Never did I see or read where Palin said Jesus and witches in the same sentence. Leave it to the media to exaggerate everything a conservative does and down play everything a liberal does. This type of behavior from the media is what is helping to corrupt our country. This type of attitude is spreading because of the media and this a the media's way of desensitizing society to the more liberal views. We need prayer for our nation now more than ever. So, people need to lay off and find a life and stop picking on people that do nothing to you.
