Who Would Jesus Castigate and Scorn?
PfAW:
A viewer wrote in to ask Pat Robertson a question
Why [do] evangelical Christians tell non-Christians that Jesus (God) is the only way to Heaven? Those who are Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, etc. already know and have a relationship with God. Why is this? It seems disrespectful.
Robertson replied that it is not all disrespectful because all other religions really just worship "demonic powers."
No. They don't have a relationship. There is the god of the Bible, who is Jehovah. When you see L-O-R-D in caps, that is the name. It's not Allah, it's not Brahma, it's not Shiva, it's not Vishnu, it's not Buddha. It is Jehovah God. They don't have a relationship with him. He is the God of all Gods. These others are mostly demonic powers. Sure they're demons. There are many demons in the world.
For those who missed it earlier, it appears that our preznit is not going to be happy with the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group.

After seeing the video of Pat Robertson, I come to believe that his secret of eternal youth (age defying protein pancakes) is just as full of shit as his religious beliefs.
For those who missed it earlier, it appears that our preznit is not going to be happy with the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group.
"President Bush, though, has not seemed open to dramatic policy shifts. During an appearance in the Oval Office on Monday, Mr. Bush called on Syria to withdraw from Lebanon and stop “harboring terrorists,” and said Iran must suspend uranium enrichment before talks could begin.
Asking these countries to give something up before they will be allowed to help us is a moronic approach, yet at this point, that appears to be the road that the president prefers.
It's going to be a long two years."
That about says it all. If he's not going to listen to even his dad's people even now, whom will he listen to? Maybe it's time to figure out a way for him to start hearing that "higher father's" voice in his head.

the fact that marshall wittman will likely go work for john mccain should not invalidate all of the good advice he's given to democrats over the years
The electoral wave that battered Republicans last week rolled well beyond Ohio and Arizona, traveling as far south as Nicaragua, where voters rejected intense U.S. pressure and elected Daniel Ortega president.
And even as George W. Bush was stumping for his candidates in the heartland, Oliver North was traveling down to Managua to urge Nicaraguans to vote for anyone but Ortega.
The ex-Marine colonel told Nicaraguans that they had "suffered enough from the influence of outsiders" -- a remark meant to criticize Hugo Chávez's support for Ortega but that some, considering North's role in running the covert operation that illegally funded the anti-Sandinista Contras in the 1980s, must have mistaken for a confession. In addition to North, Bush's Ambassador to Nicaragua, Paul Trivelli, threatened that the United States could cut off aid, while congressional Republicans warned that they would pass legislation prohibiting Nicaraguans living in the United States from sending remittances home if Nicaraguans voted the wrong way.
They are a shameless lot. These repukes were so busy with their attempted conquest of the middle east they neglected the south american nations under their managment. Now they want them back as democracy raises its ugly head in those very nations.

People on the previous thread were talking about the Christmas decorations already showing up on homes.
I put it down to the noveau riche hiring decorators at thousands per pop to decorate their homes for Christmas. The good decorators get booked early, so to fit in clients they have to start earlier and earlier.
Sickening.
I don't know about you, but I think if you've gotten to the point that you're paying other people to decorate your home for Christmas, then you not only have lost any idea of the original meaning of the holiday, you also have way too much money. And you've probably been voting Republican in the hopes of getting even more.

From Alice's linky: "The initiative will require Western companies doing business in some parts of Africa to own their workers outright. Schmidt recounted how private stewardship has been successfully applied to transport, power, water, traditional knowledge, and even the human genome. The WTO's "full private stewardry" program will extend these successes to (re)privatize humans themselves."
i guess this is an effort to put some controls on slavery which would go on anyway without controls...but it is pretty sickening...

Pat Robertson, who is truly a disgusting human being, is another biblical idolater. They worship the bible. It is no longer a text read to help understand the nature of God, it is God itself. Creation and God himself must bow down to the bible. There is no God and no creation outside of the constraints of the scripture. It's a sick and it's twisted development. I blame Gutenberg.

Told me not to question a police officer. I apologized but said I disagreed with that suspicion and was not going to confess to something I didn't think I had done. Then he called another campus cop who showed up quickly.
