Steve,
I have a goyish question before I head for bed. (And I am serious)
This exhibition of the candidates tonight, (I am more Christian that thou) was, to my mind, a little offensive. I found the IDEA offensive because, from my perspective, religion SHOULD be a personal thing and not something that a politician should be judged upon by the public and my background is actually very very conservative Christian.
How does this appear to someone who is Jewish?

Hecate, Runnymeade Conspirator
That was my assumption.
It is like they have closed their eyes to the fact that there are a great many people who believe that religion is simply NOT a proper topic for public discussion.
After many years of consideration that is my conclusion. What I believe about "God" is really not something that I wish to share with anyone.
If I mention it here it is not because someone is demanding that I do so to be included in the discussion. That is the flaw in this appearance. If Barack was invited and declined, it would have been used against him even though, from my perspective, that would be the correct course of action.
It is like your beliefs, Hecate. While I do not believe in what you do, I do not choose to question your beliefs because they are not mine. You, as all people are, are welcome to them as long as you do not demand that I show fealty to them beyond respecting your right to believe in them.

Perhaps.
Still, he used humor and related on a non-academic level, I thought. He made his points, and didn't have to apologize for anything. I think it was a slight plus for him to have done this.
.
"McCain was prompted and prepped."
Hindsight again for me is the difference becomes obvious with Obama for comparison.
Mccain did little that was an original of the moment thought. It was one hundred percent his stump material. Of which Obama was waved off by whats his face.
Speaking of Marv Albert--that's his real hair, by the way. Not a piece, contrary to popular opinion.

After many years of consideration that is my conclusion. What I believe about "God" is really not something that I wish to share with anyone.
Well, I certainly can't blame you, but it is after all just a bunch of pixels here. Whatever you believe is probably of interest to a few here, offensive to some, and of no interest to most. But if we can't hold forth on fairly anonymous blogs, I don't know where we can.
Excellent. Was it apparent that McCain is not religious at all?
ellroon presuming
it didn't matter.
all that mattered is that when obama was asked when a baby had legal rights, he went into a thoughtful, serious explanation of tha balance between some peoples sense of morals and the rights of women to make their own choice (and came down on the side of women being treated as sapient adults)
mccain, asked the same question answered "at conception"
McCain was not very good at escaping.
Night, all.
Also, Obama called the moderator "Rick" or "Reverend Rick" throughout.
McCain fell back on "my friends..." throughout. I don't think he ever said Rick's name except at the introduction, if then.
.
Was it apparent that McCain is not religious at all?
It was apparent, to me at least, that McCain was handed the questions for advance review.
He barely mentioned God, other than that he knows he's saved and forgiven.
He focused quite a bit on war, fear, and terror.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — They called it the church riot.
Sen. John McCain, who is known for his reticence and even discomfort invoking faith on the campaign trail, was once dubbed a "Hell's Angel" for rioting against his captors in Vietnam in order to hold Sunday church services.

They reconcile his longtime association with a Christian church by asserting that his "background" (i.e., upbringing) was Muslim. As we know, that is false. His father, who did not raise him, was a Muslim. When they say "background" they mean "heritage," and they consider his ancestors' religion relevant to their presidential selection.

Like giving to the poor, not killing your neighbor, not making shit up just to start a war. Simple things.

Although there is a dichotomy in the book that no one seems to talk about. God is really adamant about not killing, but then he tells his followers to kill wizards and sorceresses.

Georgian captives are reportedly being used to clear debris in South Ossetia [AFP]
Russian forces are advancing towards Tbilisi, according to the Georgian government, despite a fragile ceasefire being agreed by the two sides.
The reports on Sunday come hours after Russian troops were seen beginning to withdraw from Kaspi and Igoeti, towns close to the Georgian capital.
Fighters from the breakaway region of Abkhazia, who are backed by Moscow, have also taken control of 13 Georgian villages and a hydropower plant, according to the Tbilisi government."

Hell, that's terrific progress for a Christian preacher. Damn few of them seem to have reached even that stage yet.
Of course Warren's immediate reaction to this revelation was to ask "How can I make a buck off of this discovery?" And sadly enough, he found one.

"Bill Would End Ban on Photos of Returning Military Dead
A bill that has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives -- and this week won the endorsement of the National Press Photographers Association -- would, for the first time since Vietnam, let photojournalists capture the powerful images of flag-draped caskets arriving on American soil during wartime. - August 15, 2008 12:15 PM ET"

Old Testament God is as bad as Roman gods when it comes to interfering with humans and causing death and destruction.
New Testament God in the guise of Jesus is the one who talks about all the good, kind stuff.
American Christians like to think of themselves as New Testament faithful, but they always resort to the Old Testament to justify their bigotry and intolerance.
Oh, and talking about bloodthirsty - if you're going to decide that the world needs a reset, and you're God, why would you choose to drown the world?
How bloodthirsty is that?
Well, a quick drop-in, as I said. Sweet dreams, all.
Yes I have. The different sects haven't begun savaging each other on the political stage. Right now they're united against the "secular progressives".
I don't think you'll see it. Just because they all have the same political outlook doesn't mean they're united. They're all afraid of anyone outside their own little circle; ecumenism is for liberals.
If they were really working together, you wouldn't see the sort of discomfort that a lot of them have about Romney. The LDS and the Southern Baptists have enough political interests in common that there shouldn't be any such misgivings if there really was some sort of alliance.

I was Church of the Nazarene for eight years, Methodist for fifteen, and Episcopalian for twelve. I figure there ain't no point in asserting that anyone who calls himself Christian isn't.
This is exactly what I mean; the one thing that all Christians love to do is point fingers at each other and sort out the acceptably Christian from the pretenders who aren't really. I've had a couple of fairly bitter arguments with Snow about this; he seems to think that everyone should keep track of which Christians are good ones and which ones bad, and I no longer give a shit. In my book, if you're a Christian, you're aligned with these people you were watching tonight.

"I won't go to a place where bigotry is still OK, nay, encouraged."
Most evangelical Protestant churches put women in second-class (or worse) positions. We know how evangelical Protestant churches feel about GLBT persons. And, if you happen to belong to a minority religion whose beliefs do not mesh with those of, say, Rick Warren and Saddleback Church, well, they will look down at you and cluck sadly as they tell you you're going to hell.
It was wrong to have this shindig in a church. Even though I'm a disaffected member of my minority religious group, there's no way I would have felt comfortable among a bunch of evangelical Protestants who would think I'm going to hell because of my Mormon background. I can't even imagine what it must be like to be Jewish, Muslim, Wiccan or of no religious belief whatsoever. What an alienating experience.
And Rick Warren Doesn't Get It At All. Rick, these guys are going to be the president of the whole United States, not just Saddleback Church of a bunch of overprivileged white people in Orange County, California.

But to be fair to the Mormons, they follow the same messiah that the rest of the Christians do. Their roots are in Christianity, and there is a fairly continuous spectrum of belief reaching from mainstream Christian to Utah LDS.
The LDS merely have some historical and theological beliefs that other Christians consider strange, although it's difficult to understand why Jesus making a second coming to Mexico would be any stranger than some of the things you can read in the King James Bible.

Not Joseph Smith, Jesus Christ. That's why they call it "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints".
Joseph Smith is referred to as "the Prophet". This is no different than the sorts of titles you can see in all sorts of one-off baptist, apostolic, and nondenominational churches today, and the role Smith played in his church is not really all that different from the role Oral Roberts played in his church, or the role Jim Jones played in his, or even the roles that Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, and many other famous nondenominational pastors play in their churches today. Evangelical Christianity is very much an antrepreneurial business, and Joseph Smith was a very successful entrepreneur, until he got himself killed.

According to Rick Warren, his call to full-time ministry came as a 19-year-old student at California Baptist when, in November 1973, Warren and a friend skipped out on classes and drove 350 miles to hear W. A. Criswell preach at the Jack Tar Hotel in San Francisco.

why would a Christian God place most of the good oil under the Muslim Countries?
Oh, not just the smaller churches, Barry, the mainline protestants have been on board with ecology & climate-change stuff for quite some time. Except, see, they're the polite mailine protestants, so they don't get any attention from the press at all.
Interestingly, they do get attention from the Dems, or so I hear. A couple years ago a group of prominent congressional Dems convened a little chat with some of the prominent liberal mainline protestant types to talk about how to talk to voters of faith.

focus, lost in words | 08.17.08 - 1:59 am
every good crusader knows those aren't muslim countries. they just happen to be currently inhabited by muslims.
Saddleback's first public service was held on Easter Sunday, April 6, 1980, with two hundred people in attendance at the Laguna Hills High School Theater. Warren's church growth methods led to rapid growth. The church has used nearly eighty different facilities in its 28-year history.
Saddleback did not build its first permanent building until it had 10,000 weekly attenders. When the current Lake Forest campus was purchased in the early 1990's, a 2,300 seat plastic tent was used for worship services for several years, with four services each weekend. In 1995, the current Worship Center was completed with a seating capacity of 3,500. The multi-million dollar Children's Ministry Center and staff office building were completed over the next few years. In June 2008, a $20 million student ministry facility called the Refinery, was completed. The Refinery houses the middle school (Wildside) and high school (HSM) ministries, consisting of nearly 1,500 students.
TCM is worth it.

Avoiding religious voters because it "reinforces republicans" is silly.
Rick Warren was named one of "America's Top 25 Leaders" in the October 31, 2005 issue of U.S. News and World Report. Warren was elected by TIME magazine as one of 15 World Leaders Who Mattered Most in 2004 and one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World" (2005). Newsweek magazine called him one of "15 People Who Make America Great", an award given to people who, through bravery or generosity, genius or passion, devote themselves to helping others
CNN used to be worth it, too.
Elmer Gantry had a better haircut.
-
Warren no longer takes a salary from Saddleback Church and has repaid all of his salary from the last 25 years back to the church, due to the success of his book sales. He says he now "reverse tithes", meaning giving away 90% of his income and living off of 10%.
So folks in Rick Warren's church consider the Purpose Driven Life to be a few add on chapters to The Bible a la the Book of Mormon?
You're saying "Bible" as if it was a well-defined document. Protestants, Catholics, and Episcopalians all have different bibles, without taking into consideration all the noncanonical books ("Gnostic gospels", among others) that are just as reasonable and relevant as the ones that made it into the new testament canon, not to mention all the patristic writings that came afterwards.
You're also pretending that there's a great deal of agreement among "mainstream" Christians as to the inspiration and authority of scripture.
Clearly there are people here who are very much invested in labeling Mormons as non-Christian. As I've said, I don't see the point, possibly because I no longer see myself as a Christian.
As I recall, W.A. Criswell was one of the first Southern Baptist preachers to embrace the "God wants you be wealthy" routine in a big way (they actually teach classes in it at Criswell's First Street Baptist Church).
So, in some ways, Warren fits right in with the Criswell message by selling tickets to the highest bidders....

Oh puhleeeze, the differences between the Catholics, Lutherans and Episcopalians are minor compared to the obvious differences in beliefs with Mormons.
The comparison to the other 18th and 19th century charismatic churches is much more apt.
And Rick Warren and company aren't Mary Baker Eddy or Joseph Smith, but more like the tent revivalist preachers of that period.
Doesn't it seem like most of these evangelicals have never read the Bible? Thing is, I know for a fact that many of them do. They definitely need to work on their reading comprehension skillz.
Doesn't it seem like most of these evangelicals have never read the Bible? Thing is, I know for a fact that many of them do. They definitely need to work on their reading comprehension skillz.
What's funny is when they tell you that they just read the straight text with no interpretation. "Literalism", they say. Until you get to "if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out!". Or hell, "turn the other cheek". All of a sudden it ain't so literal.
Chillacks baby, because it rests there in your hand, its cold and its eternal and its never going away.
Oh, yeah, that "literal" bit is just so much hooey. But they get deeply weirded out if you try to tell them that, say, Job is a parable or Esther is a novella. Deeply. Vocally. Scares 'em out of their wits -- mostly because they haven't learned a thing since catechism class when they were 12 years old.
Doesn't it seem like most of these evangelicals have never read the Bible?
If one is encouraged to read selectively, one is bound to come away from it with some strange ideas. The primary one, of course, is that the entirety of the Bible is the inerrant word of God, immutable and inviolate, and yet, much of it can be safely ignored by the faithful, and can be "interpreted" in such a way as to render large chunks of it meaningless.
That, to me, is one of the principal inconsistencies of modern evangelical thought.
Maybe, religion and polyester make for a bad combination.

One thing I really liked about the book was you reminded people of how strongly allied the American conservative movement was with the apartheid regime in the 1980s. Did the depth of that association surprise you, or did you know about that going in?
I did not know about that going in, and it did surprise me, and I was shocked the first time I came across it in my research. And I would bring it up with people that I was interviewing and they would be embarrassed by it. It's a chapter in American conservatism that they would probably rather forget.
Why is it that, so many decades later, liberals are still labeled 'hippies' or 'socialists' and 'Hanoi Jane' is still trotted out as a punching bag, but conservatives get a free ride on so many of their past misdeeds?
Oh, gosh, I wish I knew the answer to that. A lot of it is that they're so much better at playing the game. You gotta remember, conservatism is an organic expression of American business. It's an organic expression of the most powerful element of American society. There are other parts of the coalition — the blue collar conservatives that I wrote about (in "Kansas") — but that's where it comes from. And it gets results; they aren't fooling around. Liberalism just doesn't seem to have that kind of drive and that kind of force behind it anymore.

which is why the movement conservatives in Kansas thought they were powerful enough to purge the middle.
Now the movement conservatives are losing to Democrats once again in Kansas, as the folks recognize that the Club for Growth and their ilk do not have rank and file Kansans' best life in mind.

It's going to happen in rural Ohio too, from what I'm seeing with all my visits to Wilmington. The McCain DHL deal isn't setting well at all there.
Over 400,000 pastors and church leaders from around the world have attended a seminar or conference led by Warren and other pastors who share best practices as they seek to be more effective in fulfilling the Great Commission and the Great Commandment.
Over the years, Christian leaders in 162 countries have used materials which stem from this movement. Through this organization over 400,000 ministers and priests have been trained worldwide in his theology and practical methods. 189,000 church leaders subscribe to Ministry Toolbox, the weekly newsletter.
Rick Warren was named one of "America's Top 25 Leaders" in the October 31, 2005 issue of U.S. News and World Report. Warren was elected by TIME magazine as one of 15 World Leaders Who Mattered Most in 2004 and one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World" (2005). Newsweek magazine called him one of "15 People Who Make America Great", an award given to people who, through bravery or generosity, genius or passion, devote themselves to helping others

How many times would we have to clone Lou Grant and restaff all the editors desks?
McCain got a lot of mileage tonight out of confessing his sins when he cheated on his first wife and hooked up with Cindy. He glossed it as "my biggest moral failure" without going into any of the details.
The evangelicals eat this sort of thing up, they love to watch sinners grovel, even if (especially if?) it's done euphemistically and with the proper amount of self-flagellation. It's how Jimmy Swaggart made his comeback. Sick, isn't it?

Celebrate Recovery was founded in 1991 by Pastor John Baker of Saddleback Church with the goal of overcoming habits like sex disorders and drug addictions with a twelve-step program based on Christian principles. Other churches and some prisons implemented the program, and as of March 2004 more than 150,000 people are said to have participated.
Liberalism just doesn't seem to have that kind of drive and that kind of force behind it anymore.
We've never had what could be called a modern progressive party in this country--certainly not in the last century or so--that could fundamentally move the country past the notions that business always knows best.
The closest to it was the FDR administration, and even that was slow going for the societal benefits produced, and likely would not have ever been in place at all without an extreme internal crisis.
Admittedly, it's a master stroke that the right has been able to convince a significant part of the citizenry that it is doing well, when, by most international standards--quality of life, general health, access to government, social safety net issues, efficient transport--it is not.
It's as if GDP is now the only standard that has meaning, and wholly obscured in that measurement is that 10% of the people control 90% of the real wealth. It's a genuine conundrum.

It's the schtick that got McAint off the hook for the Keating 5 corruption.
The most 'progressive' election in modern american history was in 1912.

Maybe teh agents of social control have perfected their techniques, and the likes of Russert and Hiatt and Murdoch have made their way easy and sure, and the republic is being cashed in.

Eight Recovery Principles based on the Beatitudes
Saddleback Senior Pastor Rick Warren devised a set of Principles based on the Beatitudes.
1. Realize I'm not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and my life is unmanageable. "Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor"
2. Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to him, and that he has the power to help me recover. "Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted"
3. Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ's care and control. "Happy are the meek"
:::Debs ran in 1900,1904,1908,1912 and 1920, the last race from Atlanta Prison. The slogan on a campaign poster in 1920 read: “From Atlanta Prison to the Whitehouse, 1920,” and a popular campaign button showed Debs in prison garb, standing outside the prison gates, with the caption: “For President Convict No. 9653, Debs received nearly one million votes that year!
Perhaps the most colorful campaign was in 1908, when Debs used the Red Special Train to whistle-stop the country. There also was a Red Special Band. Debs spoke from the train to enthusiastic crowds dozens of times a day as he toured the country. Political campaigns before television generated interesting and sometimes novel memorabelia. A 1912 almanac (calendar) printed by the Socialist Party has the months of the year bordered by quotes from Debs such as “I’d rather vote for what I want and not get it, than for what I don’t want and get it.”:::

They know if they forced him to answer the question, McAint would be giving that deer in the headlights look again and ask "what was the question again?"
Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Church is targeted to pastors and church leaders and advises them to base their ministry on God's purposes, not their own ideas of ministry, hence the term "Purpose Driven". Warren suggests that these purposes are Worship, Fellowship, Discipleship, Ministry and Mission and that they are derived from the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:37-40) and the Great Commissions (Matthew 28:19-20).
"The issue is church health, not church growth!" declares Warren.
The author emphasizes an intentional people-building process. He says, “If you will concentrate on building people, God will build the church.”

Landrieu, The Lone GOP Target
By Reid Wilson
It is rare that a Senate candidate merits the attention of the First Lady of the United States. Then again, it is rare this year that a Republican Senate candidate is actually competitive against a Democratic incumbent.
So Laura Bush's stop in Lafayette, Louisiana yesterday, on behalf of State Treasurer John Kennedy, served to underscore just how critical the GOP sees the state as a factor in their efforts to blunt what is expected to be a banner year for Democrats. In fact, most Republicans who follow the Senate landscape admit that Kennedy, who faces two-term Senator Mary Landrieu, is the party's only hope of winning back a seat this year.

Not a new idea. In fact there's a video game called Iron Storm that takes place in Germany in 1964, and it's still going on, just more modern. And that's with the USA involved. But, nah, I just wonder what the map would look like. With Germany pretty much having its way but for the Russians, things would be very different "over there"...

Yay! I've finally been name stolen!
All true, but...Visualize a Europe of today, if we'd stayed out of WWs I & II...
We (meaning, then, Wilson) helped create WWII by the inclusion of war reparations in the Treaty of Versailles.
WWII was effectively over, without much of our help, the moment Hitler invaded the Soviet Union. That mistake sealed his fate and future.
What would Europe look like today? Nobody knows, because that's not the way history turned out. But, chances are that the fighting could not have gone on for long, and after two very bloody wars, the same impulse to avoid the stupidity of the past might well have taken hold, as it has today.
Howard Zinn makes an interesting case for not entering WWII. He suspects that had we not, internal resistance, along with the attrition caused by the Soviet army, would have caused the collapse of the Third Reich, anyway.
None of us know for sure, though, because that's not the way it played out.

But Germany didn't really have its way, but for the Russians until WW2.
Take away the Treaty of Versailles and you get a whole different socio-economic dynamic in Europe. Instead of the Weimar being saddled with the blame for the economy failing, the global depression in the 30s might have caused a worker's rebellion to topple the Kaiser and turned Germany red rather than brownshirted.

That's not bad then.
Considering they only live 5 years.
Itching and irritation probably occur because the lumpy piles stop acting as soft pads to keep the mucus in; instead, a little mucus leaks out and irritates the area around the anus. Pain and discomfort comes from swelling around the pile, and from scratching of the lining of the anal canal by faeces as they pass over the lumpy area. The scratching also causes bleeding, which is a fresh bright red colour and may be seen on faeces or toilet paper or dripping in the pan. A pile that has been pushed down (a second- or third-degree pile) may be felt as a lump at the anus.
