I would like for that to happen. Would you vote for me as president so I can get the ball rolling on bringing true democracy to America?

Okay.... I believe in God. I go to a presbaterian church although i've also went to lutheren school and my mother used to be catholic. I see things in my dreams and they come true almost everytime. I also have feeling like I kno something is going to happen. I also see spirits that have passed away. Like last night i was with my friend and his mother who was in her car and i turned around and saw his grandmother who always used to stand there... except she died a couple days ago. I can also sense spirits like if there in the house or not. Only my boyfriend knows and i dont want other people to know. But Can i still believe in god and be pyhsic. My mom said a while ago that ghost were'nt real and it had something to do with this whole jesus thing. Can someone plz help me.

I personally think she is mosty full of s***.
I have seen her on the Montel Williams show quite a few times.
as soon as someone asks her anything , she has the answer in specific details in a matter of seconds. I don't care what you ask her, she knows instantly what the answer is . where your dead loved one is , who killed them, what kind of car they were driving. the month and year that you will have a child. what sex it will be.
ANYTHING, she has the answer. She even said on the show that she knew where Jimmy hoffa's body was but she wouldn't say because she was afraid that she might lose her gift. I don't remember what her reasoning was. But i thought, why the hell can't she say where he is? he is a murder victim. He has a family that would love to know where he is and be able to give him a proper burial. I do believe in psychics to some extent . but i don't believe that anyone is that gifted. To have the answer to any question in a matter of seconds.

Maybe faith is just a mental comforter for what you've been brainwashed to believe.

Atheists dont think about faith. We dont need a mental comforter to make us feel secure about our disbelief

I am not sure what is says about this in the gospel of the FSM. Even though it hurts absolutely no1 and provides myself with pleasure I am sure the great FSM would not agree. What do you all think?

Recently, I worked in an ER and an elderly woman came in by EMS who was very dead after having been coded for some time.

It was sad as she had recently come to the US from Africa to be with her family, who were present and obviously loved her very much.

After we finished our work; we straightened up the body and let the family in to be with her.

For the next 5 hours, they proceeded to LOUDLY command that in the name of Jesus, she get up and rise from the dead....The charge nurse allowed their rituals out of respect, but the staff was visibly uncomfortable as we continued to care for other patients.

I said to another coworker, "if she gets up, I'm going home."

Now my question is, that with that amount of faith, why do you as a Christian believe that God did not answer their request and show everyone around that Jesus is king?

I'm about to give up. I have just officially realized you can not reason with a true believer because it is not so much that they are brainwashed--a state which they can recover from with help, but they are in fact really, really, simple. -- And there is NO help for that, all the reasoning in the world will not help expand their minds because some people's minds are just not wired for deep philosophical thought and reasoning out contradictions.
I am throwing in the towel.

I often wonder if they are currently embarrased. Or maybe preparing for the rapture or something.

KORAN SAYS :

Jesus WAS NOT CRUCIFIED:
[4.157] And their saying: Surely we have killed the Messiah, Isa son of Marium, the apostle of Allah; and they did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them so (like Isa) and most surely those who differ therein are only in a doubt about it; they have no knowledge respecting it, but only follow a conjecture, and they killed him not for sure.

[4.159] And there is not one of the followers of the Book but most certainly believes in this before his death, and on the day of resurrection he (Isa) shall be a witness against them.
JESUS IS NOT SON OF GOD
[4.171] O followers of the Book! do not exceed the limits in your religion, and do not speak (lies) against Allah, but (speak) the truth; the Messiah, Isa son of Marium is only an apostle of Allah and His Word which He communicated to Marium and a spirit from Him; believe therefore in Allah and His apostles, and say not, Three. Desist, it is better for you; Allah is only

This question is directed more towards non-Americans. So many people like to hate on America, but there are a lot of good people who have done a lot for the world. What things about Americans do you like?

Besides the obvious two way:
Saying someone's name in casual conversation and
Dropping someone's surname
how else can you drop someone's name?

And don't even say write their name on something and drop it, cause that's just stupid.

lets be honest, im not trying to be a jealous or power hungry person, but why does god get to be the alpha and the omega, omnicious and omnipotent? does that mean were all god?cause thatd be the most logical explanation to me?and is the thought of a life with no higher power at work that scary, that we have to categorize something so simple as the conscience as "god"?cause if we take a look at the ten commandments, they're pretty much things one doesn't do consciously.after all humans do fear the unknown, and they do have an infatuation with labeling?

They go nuts over the horrors of abortion,
yet when you ask if an abortionist_- THe very person who is doing the killing of sometimes tens of thousands of fetus', --Is going to hell they say "well, if he's really sorry and excepts Christ as his savior, you know, all sin is the same in the eyes of the Lord",
Well, then what was the fuss you were making over Partial Birth Abortion!!!!!! Funny, I think there is something special about the brutality of that act compared with stealing or even cheating on your wife.
-- yet it would sound like Christians don't want real offenders who really would deserve it punished in an eternal firey pit , only people who don't believe in God? --What?

furthermore, going a bit deeper, does it make any sense that ANYONE wouldn't accept Jesus in the end once he was proven to exist? Dah!
