On The Religious Left, Great Expectations
The first priorities for Barack Obama's administration will be the economy and a variety of foreign policy issues. But the burgeoning religious left, which worked so hard to get Obama elected, expects some movement on its issues, including a robust White House office of faith-based initiatives, pove

More Innacurate Faith Storylines From the Media

Gravel for president.

You know, Gravel’s references to love are because he is a Unitarian. You know, one of those other religions? By commenting on Love as the center of his religious views, he is expressing a far more religious view than any of the other candidates who where there.

I’m impressed with the wisdom and courage of this man, Mike Gravel. He has my support. Love IS all we need. Religion is dead. We should know better by now that it has always been a fallacy. There is no god. It was just a bogus idea man created. Love, however, does rule. It never fails and everything has to do with loving and not loving. But only the brave strive for it. The rest hide behind their imaginary god(s) and the entire world has been sufferring as a result. Let’s wake up and embrace reality and love and then really give peace a chance. Are there enough brave and intelligent people in this country that can do so? Love help us. I sure hope so, or we’re certainly doomed to keep repeating our mistakes, wars, poverty, and what have we until we finally do.

For all we know, The man may be an Agnostic or Atheist whom simply enjoys the cathartic poetic value of religious exersize. Some Universalistrs are rationalists such as Atheists,Agnostics,Deists, humanists,etc.
If I were American, he’d have my vote.

I BELIEVE IN LOVE AND THAT WITH LOVE ANY AND ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE AND YOU CAN GET THROUGH ANY THING IN THIS WORLD WITH LOVE IN YOUR HEART. GRANTED, PAIN IS A HARD FEELING TO OVERCOME, ESPECIALLY WITHOUT LOVE, BUT WITH LOVE, EVEN PAIN IS A FEELING A PERSON CAN GET THROUGH. ITS ALL A MATTER OF THE LOVE YOU HAVE IN YOUR HEART. LOVE IS THE BEST FEELING AND IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FEELING IN MANKIND AND WITHOUT IT THIS WORLD WOULD BE MORE COLD THAN IS SEEMS TO BE THESE DAYS. THE WAR IS COLD AND THE CHOICE TO FIGHT AND KILL IS COLD AND IT EFFECTS THE WHOLE WORLD AS A WHOLE, WE ARE ALL UNITED LIKE OUR KINGDOM IS UNITED AND DIVIDED WE ALL FALL. YET, WE CONTINUE TO THINK WITHOUT OUR HEART OF LOVE AND WE KILL THE VERY MOST PRECIOUS, NON TOUCHABLE, YET TOTALLY RELIABLE AND NEVER ENDING FEELING JESUS GAVE US AND DIED TO GIVE US A CHOICE TO LOVE. NOW! FORGET THE WANTS OF OUR FLESH AND THE GREED IN OUR HEARTS AND REMEMBER WHAT HAS BEEN SACRIFICED FOR OUR VERY LIFE, WE WOULD BE IN COMPLETE HARMONY AND PEACE. THANK YOU JESUS. AMEN!
