The Man Who Started It All
In WALKING THE BIBLE, he's still sitting there forever, behind a cloud of smoke, saying, "People like me don't have time to talk to people like you," then calling me at home that night to introduce me to Avner. Now, nearing 100, he has finally passed.Avraham Biran, an archaeologist of biblical site

Feiler Faster in Denver -- Final Thoughts
The last of my brother's blogs.

I was on the floor the other day and came across a man of about forty who wore on his left breast what looked like a military medal. A small ribbon pinned to his chest with a medallion hanging from it. It was the credential that his grandfather wore at the 196

Considering I described myself yesterday as a pop culture moron, the funniest response I've gotten so far was, "Who's Angela Bassett?"
In the wake of opening night there's been a lot of play about Carville and

To me, this poll only makes sense in the context of other polls that show that very few people are paying attention this early in the race. Clinton is in fact quite religious– ask David Kuo. This poll is about how uninformed people are at this point, not about what candidates are really like.

Considering how the “religious” folks run things, I think electing a less fervent president would be good for us. And the rest of the world.

We can live a good, long time without a President who thinks that God wants us to do what that President wants.

I believe it is quite presumptuous for anyone to attempt to evaluate anyone else’s “religiousity” — because it becomes just that: a facade! No one knows the deeper regions of anyone else’s heart except God. For anyone else to presume to be able to do so would be “heresy” of the highest order. We don’t need a “SHOW” of religion, we need action that is based on Godly principles. That would surely not mean waging an unust war as Bush, the Republicans and even the Democrats has allowed this country to do — slip into the miry clay of demagoguery, elitism,imperialism. There is nothing Godly about destroying another country for the price of oil and camflaging it to the American public by assigning it to retribution for 911. To fight Sadam is like killing the cousin for a crime committed by someone else and doing so in the name of religion, thinking the American public is stupid enough to swallow that — and most times it did. But we have to be reminded that 1) our Bible tells us to go into our secret closet to pray — go and extrapolate that! 2) Turn the other check and do good to our enemies — that’s the Christ-like way! and 3) both Old and New Testaments carry the adage that “Vengence is mine, saith the Lord. I will replay.”

This looks like one of those polls that tries to measure the unmeasurable, using a term “religious” that is itself hard to define objectively. Does it mean regular church attendance? Regular prayer? Fruitful prayer? Humble prayer? An awareness of God or mere belief? Obedience to a set of rules set forth by a particular denomination, or a personal striving to learn more about God without being told what to think? It makes the head spin if you really analyze the question.

I thought we were fighting a war to free the people in the middle east from the religious persecution imposed by Islam.
This has been the most offensive of any American President, pushing off his religion like he know it was the only way.
I hope we get a competent leader in office. As long as he does his religious gig on his own time, I’m gonna be happy. We need someone who will deal with health care, the infrastructure, The buying of the country by lobbyists, crooks in office, elderly problems, doesn’t anybody get it??? Global warming, shortages of food and water coming, over-population, the last gasp of oil as we suck the well dry..get it? Got it? Shake the cobwebs out and wake up to reality. We got work to do in this country and all everyone worrys about is gays and making more $$. Ther constitution is under attack.
Are you proud? I am not proud. I am sad. We are killing and destroying innocent people. God must be very proud of us. Does he hear our prayers now? Would you?
