For some strange reason they seem to believe atheists need to 'open their hearts' or 'find a purpose'. There is usually some reference such as this which suggests atheists are lost or something.
Are these religious people so methodically and effectively brainwashed that they can't even grasp how people can happily function (and therefore be open-hearted) without the need to trust an invisible god?

It’s getting harder to deny that General Petraeus is making progress.


“The only thing this surge will accomplish is a surge of more death and destruction.” That was the prediction of blogger and antiwar activist Arianna Huffington back in December of last year — one month before the Senate unanimously confirmed Gen. David Petraeus as commander in Iraq.

"I believe ... that this war is lost, and this surge is not accomplishing anything.” That was the judgment of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in April — two months before the reinforcements General Petraeus needed to fully implement his new “surge” strategy had arrived in Iraq.

In mid-June, just as troop strength was reaching the level needed to carry out the revised mission, Senator Reid added: “As many had foreseen, the escalation has failed to produce the intended results."

But now those intended results are being seen — as even some critics of the war, to their credit, are acknowledging. “More American troops have brought more peace to more parts of Iraq. I think that’s a fact,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill) told reporters.

“My sense is that the tactical momentum is there with the troops,” Sen. Jack Reed (D., R.I.) said to PBS’s Charlie Rose.

The debate over the war in Iraq is shifting, though more slowly than is the war in Iraq, thanks to a well-funded and determined anti-war movement and too many in the media for whom good news is no news.

A few days ago, CNN’s Kyra Phillips interviewed Lt. General Raymond Odierno, General Petraeus’s top deputy. She might have asked whether his troops now have both the will and a way to defeat al Qaeda suicide-bombers and Iranian-backed death squads. Instead, her inquiring mind wanted to know: “Do you think that this job that you've taken on could be career suicide?”

Because of scant media interest, most Americans don’t even realize that the so-called surge is a new and different strategy, implemented by General Petraeus because the approach of his predecessors — not least former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield — failed.

Rumsfeld wanted a “light footprint” in Iraq, not an intrusive military occupation. He thought more troops would mean more targets for our enemies. He pushed hard for Iraqis to provide their own security as quickly as possible.

Under the Rumsfeld strategy, most American forces spent most of their time in Forward Operating Bases (FOBs). Cut off from the local population, they received little intelligence. And since they were providing security for themselves but not for Iraqis, Iraqis turned to sectarian militias which grew larger, stronger, and more violent.

Meanwhile, al Qaeda in Iraq deployed suicide-bombers to mass-murder civilians as a way to stoke sectarian violence. Al Qaeda calculated — not unreasonably — that Americans would withdraw rather than remain in the crossfire of a civil war.

General Petraeus, the Army’s top counterinsurgency expert, decided it was time for a different approach. He moved troops out of the FOBs and put them into Iraqi cities and villages where they have been providing security for Iraqis — who have shown their appreciation by providing intelligence that spy satellites can’t retrieve.

He is targeting al Qaeda, as well as the Shia militias trained, funded and equipped by Tehran — their cells, strongholds, and bomb factories. And with added troop strength, he has been able to hold the neighborhoods he has cleared.

It also is true that most traditional Iraqi leaders have been repelled by al Qaeda’s brutality and extremism. Americans, by contrast, have shown the local sheiks respect, while training and partnering with Iraqis — making it clear they would like nothing better than to see Iraqis take charge of their own security as soon as they are ready.

On top of all that, U.S. soldiers have been doubling as diplomats: helping to reconcile Sunni and Shia tribal groups, and even bringing insurgents — those not affiliated with al Qaeda or Tehran — into line with the Iraqi government.

This week, General Odierno launched “Operation Phantom Strike,” a new offensive that aims to pursue the al Qaeda terrorists and Iranian-backed militias displaced from their safe havens by this summer’s earlier actions: Operation Phantom Thunder, and Operation Fard al-Qanoon (the Baghdad Security Plan).

Operation Phantom Strike, if it is successful, will mean more “death and destruction” — mostly for America’s sworn enemies. No doubt, the anti-war crowd will both oppose that and pronounce it a failure even before it’s fully underway. But other Americans — if they learn what is really happening in Iraq — will support the troops. Most will favor giving them the time and resources they need to complete their mission.

Whose was it? How badly were you hurt? What did you do?


I was walking in a school yard once when I was attacked. It lunged for my throat and ripped my shirt and tore a hole in me along my rib cage. When it came back at me I kicked it in the head as hard as I could. The owner showed up and all I wanted to do is kick his butt for letting his dog run loose

I was inspired by an answer one of my contacts received with a link to demonology, and upon reviewing the vast list of Demons and their purpose, some of them were the bringers of inspiration, love, music, returning runaways, aiding soldiers etc, so is it safe to say that not all of the fallen were evil and have actually contributed more than the ideology of the Guardian Angel, and the cruelty of the Powers, the term Demon has always had such a negative reaction when the punishment from God for their rebellion was the separation from Him, why is it that the general popular belief is that when they were cast out of Gods presence that they lost their original nature and became evil and ugly? any and all replies welcomed.

How do YOU keep your firearms safe from others (children-unotherized users), but able to get to fast in an emergency?

I personaly use 2 guns for home protection, a 12gauge remington 870 express (with 00' buck) in my room under my matress and boxspring so when im sleeping i can get it as soon as i wake up and during the day i just lock my bedroom door.

The other gun is use is a 40. Smith and wesson and i keep that mounted behind a dresser as soon as you open the front door. (it also has a holster which is very hard to get open if you dont know how) and no one would think to look behind a dresser so i consider that safe.
