Jesus and Witches

Clearly, when it comes to Sarah Palin and John McCain, NOTHING is sacred and many members of the media will absolutely stoop to ANYTHING, if it serves their personal agenda and world view. The ironic truth here is that the American media is MUCH more likely to "go off the reservation" to see their world view promoted than Sarah Palin ever would be. The fact is that the American media, in the hands of such influential personalities as Bill Maher, Keith Olbermann, Chrs Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Oprah, Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper, Campbell Brown, David Gergen, James Carville, Paul Begala, George Stephanopoulos, Gloria Borger, Maureen Dowd, Kitty Kelley, Arianna Huffington, Katrina vanden Heuvel, Katie Couric, Brian Williams, Barbara Walters, Joy Behar etc. etc. etc. is MUCH more scary to the American public and MUCH more dangerous to the American electorate and MUCH more subversive for this country than anything that Governor Palin would ever be capable of. The fact is that whether you personally believe it or not that everything that is going on in the world right now makes alot of people, good people, smart people, kind people, NORMAL PEOPLE very concerned about the end of life as we know it. Maybe YOU should be to!!!

I believe the 1st amendment, freedom of religion should put an end to this discussion altogether. Who really cares what her religious beliefs are? I am not a fan of organized religion because of the hypocrisy that can almost always be linked, but if someone professes their fath as a Christian, a Muslim, a Buddist, or whatever, it is not my place to pass judgement. I wish people would stop trying to pick this woman apart and focus on issues that actually matter.

Your headline is very twisted and misleading. The pastor simply prays that any form of witchcraft (or evil) would be unable to affect her. There was nothing negative in his prayer and if praying to God for prosperity (in finances, politics and life in general) is wrong, than what should we pray to our God for? It is sad that you choose to take something positive and faithful and attempt to make it evil. Shame on you.

This is alot better than OBAMA's CHURCH of TWENTY EFFING YEARS that said things like G0D D@MN AMERICA and BLAMED AIDS ON THE US GOVERNMENT.

I'll take a kooky pentecostal over a racist anti-american hate machine any day.

Newsweek fails.

What is it that bothers you about John Hagee? This article is just another subtle smear tactic. They are not "invoking" Jesus and witchcraft. Rebuke means to be against silly. A journalist should know that. Blessing in the name of Jesus and the REBUKING of witchcraft.

It is interesting how people can judge something they know very little about. I challenge you to come to my chuch (Assembly of God) and somehow not be changed. If this country wants change we must turn back to our founding (Godly) Fathers. We have lost our way as a Godly nation. Keep leaving God out and I am sure he will keep leaving us alone.

I must have missed it. The story about Barack Obama's religion or Joe Biden's religion. I mean it is obvious that Obama started life being educated as a muslim though he may not be today. Why deny it? Biden's Catholicism is opposed to his and Obama's radical pro-choice politics. Shouldn't that be investigated?

Article VI , section 3 of the Constitution states, "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." Thus, whatever Palin's (or Obama's, or anyone else's) religious beliefs are, so long as they do not affect how they would govern, is not a legitimate issue.

That said, I really question whether most Americans are intelligent, educated, and/or informed enough, to adequately examine the candidates' qualifications on real-world issues. But that's a topic for other forums.

I agree, This is the usual garabge from the liberal madia! Someone who has "NO" personal religous belief but thinks they are enough of a critic and a "know it all" to make "Head in the sand"statements. Ya you bet the world is going to last forever and We all evolved from a pit of slim, genuis. Look out everybody! It's those crazy christians you need to watch out for!

I would just like to say to Newsweek and the rest of the media: Look at all these comments. What do they tell you? The same thing that Fox News consistently making #1 tells you. YOU ARE LIBERAL AND OUT OF TOUCH WITH AMERICA. YOU CAN'T EVEN REPORT FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE PEOPLE YOU ARE TRYING TO SERVE. You're a joke and all of these comments telling you so should open your eyes.

Why is it that Jew reporters can not resist a chance to bash Christians, under the guise of news?

So are there any Christians working at Newsweek? I am confused by this article. Is it the end times the writer disagrees with, or the church in general? You can't take a one day peek at any religion and think you have it all figured out. People need to do their homework. Look up these churches online...and find out what they believe. Most churches put all that info on their websites. And most churches have websites these days. As for the writer...pull out a bible sometime. It is a great read. And God's word is for everyone!!

You guys are sick. Why would you put up a title, "Jesus and Witches?" The video is clear that they were blessing her for the tough job ahead. She needs more prayers to deal with you liberal garbage. The Kenyan pastor is the one that mentioned witchcraft, and he probably deals with it in Kenya. Taking things out of context? How about spending more time on Obama's pastor that want to DAMN AMERICA!?! It's in the vidoe!

You have got to be kidding me! This article is absurd for so many reasons!

1) 95% of the beliefs reported here is true of main-stream Christianity, though the authors want it to sound frightening.

2) The 5% that is less main-stream is still not as radical as Pastor Wright, Obama's pastor and "uncle" for 20 years.

3) Palin is running for VP, not President. Obama is running for president. Newsweek needs to focus on the front of the ticket, and his questionable beliefs.

4) Past presidents such as Ronald Reagon and Jimmy Carter have held similar beliefs as Sarah Palin.

Wow all of you zelouts out there had better watch out. Talk about witchcraft. You all are quoting lines from a book called the bible and scaring a lot of people. Remember that witchcraft is the ability to be controlled by something or somebody. You all are controlled by a belief that it's your way or no way. Unfortunately most of you don't see the big picture. You want four more years of Republicans taking the country down. Jimmy Carter was a christian and was unable to control any of the worlds problems because he wanted to use peace as a weapon instead of the strength of the military.
