Jesus and Witches

Ironically, many of the comments by the Christians critical of this article reveal an ignorance of their own Bible. As a careful reading of Jeremiah indicates, it was usually the false prophets who identified their own government's activity with the will of God. It was the false prophets in 1 Kings 22 who said that their leaders were doing God's will in going to war. The true prophets like Amos were critical of political policies that supported the rich at the expense of the poor. Paul emphasized that people should give according to their ability (and even more) to people according to their need (2 Cor 8:3, 13-14). The author of Revelation was critical of an imperial power that had invaded the Middle East from the west and tortured and executed the founder of his movement. People who think that the USA has a special plan from God in its own invasion of the Middle East for the profit of the rich are rather selective in their use of their own Bible.

This is worse than following a black preacher who invokes hate about whites??

This article is an outrage! Put a sliver of this energy into Barack and Reverend Wright's Black separatist world view and hatred for America. Get real! He is who we truly have to fear!

" Christian nut " as you call it, pertains to how many millions of Americans? I'm glad to live in America where I can worship my God ANYWAY I want and I don't care if you Youtube it. Life is good, eternal life is better. Unless you're not a "Christian nut" in which eternal life could get a little, er, testy. have fun. God bless Sarah Palin and God bless you.

This article is an outrage....if you spent a quarter of this enregy on Barack and Reverend Wright we'd really have something to fear from a Black separatist who hates America. Get real!

Just another negative article where the writers don't really understand a thing they are writing about and are obviously putting their own views into it trying to make a mockery of God's work. Sarah, you are in good company, they said the same things about our Precious Lord Jesus!

Cryptic blessing? Have you never been to a church? DO YOUR RESEARCH IDIOT!!! This is not an awkward service. What a moron you are to write this article without having attended a church service prior to slamming Palin. End times scenarios are part of what Christians believe in, it's not a "crazy" thing to us. There are many issues this election that need coverage, and this is what we get from the media! Imbeciles!

I am a Christian, and while I definitely believe that individuals should be allowed to worship as they please, extremists on either end of the spectrum frighten me. Rev. Wright's rampage as well as this video clip make me uncomfortable because they both are 'using' God to support their own agenda. No one scares me more at this time in our history than Pastor John Hagee. The fact that John McCain sought his endorsement (even though he later denounced Hagee) is worrisome.
I do wonder why the American people seem to be so obsessed with Palin and Obama's faith while totally ignoring the religious beliefs or practices of Hillary Clinton or John McCain (or lack of).
May God's will be done. It will in the long run.

I pray daily for Sarah Palin. I think it is VERY sad that she must endure the cheap shots that the media attacks her conservative christian beliefs and values. Not to mention the attacks on her family. I believe she is an Esther in this most precarious time in the history of America. I am forever grateful that someone has enough backbone not to cave in to "mainstream" religion. I personally don't agree with the mainstream philosphy at all. Coming from over seven generations of conservative Apostolic family ministers, I am extremely excited and pray daily for God to guide her steps and keep the forces of darkness (which includes demons and witchcraft) at bay. The prayers and sermons that you seem to question are completely normal and exactly what I personally like to hear when I go to church. (Which is several times a week....just to make that clear also). Jesus I pray for this campaign and ask that you keep the enemies of our souls at bay so your will may be done> AMEN!!

Come on Newsweek. How about an expose about Obama and all his questionable friendships/affiliations? I can't believe how biased the news outlets have been this election season. It is utterly appalling. Who gives a rip about what church Sarah attends when Obama is hanging out with terrorists? At least TRY to be fair. I'll be waiting for the story about this. .

If this artical in anyway is trying to compair Obamas radical ways to Sarah you failed miserably and while I agree that witch craft a religion of nature is vastly misrepresented by mainstreem religion. Who is to blame for that hollyweird of course.

For two years we have been disecting Barack Obama. Two months ago most of us had never even hear of Sarah Palin. If its fair to look at the candidates on one side its fair to look at the candidates on the other side. Personally I'd like to see an article that details her and her husband's relationship with the Alaska Independence Party. These are people who don't want to be part of the United States.They sound dangerous to me.

Come on.... what about a true expose about Obama and all his associations? The news media has been truly biased in this election. It is utterly shameful. Come on Newsweek, step up.

Amanda and TIna - Hmmmmm I wonder if your names or in the "Book of Life".... Oh go ahead and laugh, but I promise you won't be laughing in HELL. Why don't you go pick on your messiah Obama who believes in anything that fits his audience!!! I can't believe you are so blinded to the truth... BUT, I have to say... God did say people (non believers) will be blinded to the truth in the end days. You still have time to change your mind today. Who knows what tomorrow brings. Dont blasphemy - use your journalism in better ways. Or youll be sorry.

Judging from the obvious lack of understanding of the history of this country in regard to religious freedom and our constitution I have to wonder what is being taught in our school systems. Could it be liberal revisionism?
