"For the uninformed who voted no, go back and read why the committee voted to give the President the peace prize. Once you know you will change your myopic opinion."

Being pretentiously condescending to people doesn't make you suddenly right. I know exactly why the committee voted for him. I knew BEFORE I came to the conclusion that it's full of it.

I guess according to you, Obama is "myopic" as well. As he too made comments about not deserving it.

This is no way is an attack against Obama.

I don't know why those that staunchly support him are being so knee-jerkish about anyone that believes he didn't deserve it yet. Which does include Obama himself.

Those that added Obama's name to the list of those to vote for did so only 2 weeks into his presidency. They said that they didn't vote for him for things he DID, but things they BELIEVE he will do. Lets hope that he lives up to the hype.

The sad part is, many of those that have gotten the NPP in the past claims that this incident doesn't make them feel as special as they used to for winning said award. And I can't blame them. Those that think that Obama didn't deserve this aren't just the usual anti-Obama people. Those that voted for him, and generally agree with what he says believes it was pretty hokey.

Even Obama had his doubts..

What is funny is, it's probably the first time those that think Obama can do no wrong, is in disagreement with those that think that this call was not deserved, even when Obama agrees with them.

I think some heads probably exploded over that one.

I applaud Obama for being generally humble about the whole incident by hinting around that he probably didn't deserve it.

Lets hope that he lives up to the hype.

I've always said that a lot of Europe are jealous because they couldn't vote for Obama. Those in charge of the NPP has also been known to be negative against America's conservatives. I mean Reagan should have won it for his role in bringing down the wall. But who did they give it to instead?

Come on..

BTW I am also not surprised the Pope could run the demons out of that girl. In the bible some so called Christians tried to as well. These demons mocked them.

They seem to know who is full of the spirit, and who is a fake Christian.

Only the latter can remove them. And it usually doesn't take WEEKS to do. One simple command of them leaving in the name of Jesus works.

If the person saying it is of the spirit. That is how it was in the Bible, and that is how I've seen it.

These priests that have taken WEEKS to get demons out, may have just taken that long to get their faith in check.

IMHO of course. And the Catholics don't have a monopoly on exorcisms. MANY MANY Christians have done them and practice them today.

I don't however think permission from the Pope is needed.

Jesus gave us this power and ability himself to use. He never mentioned having to ask a Pope before.

The Bible also said that the Church would collapse from within too as time went on.

Worshipping false idols is one of the ten commandments.

I meant "Not watch the movie" Read the book. It's nothing like the movie.

And it's NOT religious.

Keen came to the conclusion that ghosts/ufos, paranormal happenstances and the supernatural all seem to be coming from the same source, or sources.

He called them "Cosmic Pranksters" but said he wasn't going into what HIS opinion as to what they were. But said they were very interested in making people believe that a new usher of secular humanism will wash away the old way and views that have kept our people back for so many years. That there would eventually have to be a cleansing out of these people that cling to old outdated ideals that seem to be keeping the human race back.

Though any mention of Jesus, or if he was the son of God caused them to

1. Not directly answer the question and say "Jesus was a prophet of ours"

if you again ask them "but was he the son of God"

they would often get violent and or turn into different beings than they were before. As if their cover was blown. And would soon disappear.

Yes demons exist.

Read the Mothman Prophesies. (Not the book) to find out what all these "shenanigans" are about.

And yes, people have been possessed by good and BAD spirits for centuries.

I've seen people possessed by the holy spirit. It wasn't a scary thing at all.

Doesn't anyone remember in the mid 90s when the Clinton Administration said that Gas would be in the $5.00 per gallon range by 2010? (Note, I am not blaming Clinton for this, that would be silly) I do. Everyone laughed and said NO WAY..

Having said that, I wonder how they knew.

Of course the famous bumper stickers I've seen lately put direct blame on Bush. When I see those the only thing it says to me is, the person who put that on his or her bumper are pretty dense as to how the system works.

"You’d have to be crazy to vote Republican after the last 8 years."

Because ALL Republicans are the same?

I guess under that type of thinking all Democrats cheat on their wives and have sexual relations on the job and lie under oath.

Of course I'd never make such an absurd statement.

This country will stay at a standstill until the political party zealots (Left and Right) stop with their dividing the country in half by demonizing anyone that simply doesn't belong to that particular person's party.

That is what I'd love to do away with the same Lame two party system we've had.

I know some political zealots that would rather see America fail under the "other guys side's" leadership than for it to prosper under it. It should be what is best for the country as a whole, working together no matter what "side" you are on. After all both sides have about the equal amount of losers. Politicians are Politicians. If you think of Clinton OR Bush as a hero then you haven't been paying attention. We need better options. The two we have now stink.

Not to be a party pooper...

red·neck (r?d'n?k') Pronunciation Key
n. Offensive Slang
Used as a disparaging term for a member of the white rural laboring class, especially in the southern United States.

nig·ger (n?g'?r) Pronunciation Key
n. Offensive Slang
Used as a disparaging term for a Black person

Now, I don't condone the use of either word. To me it shows the intelligence of the user, or lack of.

But why is one still being used, and considered ok?

And please, no one bring up Jeff Foxworthy. As I could easily just bring up the zillions of rap songs that have the n word in it.

Doesn't make using it right. And I am not one of those politically correct police.

I just think things should be equal so to speak.

Too funny, that’s the same reaction I have when someone say’s, “I’m a republican.”

That probably says more about you than it does the republican...

"Why not poke fun at Christians? Lord knows there’s plenty of material. Maybe this is “insider humor”, but as a pastor, I found the site hilarious.

I’d like to think that adherents of a religion have a right to lampoon it from time to time."

Oh I have no problem with it. My point was however, I am not sure the author is an equal opportunity jokester. ;)

doesn’t seem like satire so much as a guy just complaining about christians"

alison as most christian "humor" does. I don't know what is worse. Evangelical Christians that simply wont shut up about people going to hell, or the secular humanists that put stuff up like that to convince their own brand of faith.

I am wondering what the author of said site would think about putting up a similar link to a site belittling black people, or gays, or atheists?

Cause you know, white Christians are the only people that it's ok to poke fun at now..

weird.

Hmm I bet there was interbreeding within families. These are politicians you know..

I am waiting for the vulva shaped ones.

Just lock him up and keep him there. Idiot.

Karma is a bitc*. It's always the stupid ones this happens to.

Yeah if you are getting workman's comp, don't let people catch you doing stuff like this. :rolleyes:

I hope they throw the book at him.

Don't see how the story is "NEAT" however.....
