...I left catholicism a few decades ago and am atheist.

I wish to be excommunicated so they quit including me in their tally of adherents.

Giant boulder nearly collides with Massachusetts church

...and switch with a loved-one that you knew wasn't going to be in heaven?

Elaborate if you wish.

...then why do christians claim these things are from Satan?

1Ki 22:23

Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a [lying spirit] in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken [evil] concerning thee.

1Sa 16:14

But the [Spirit] of the LORD departed from Saul, and an [evil spirit] from the LORD troubled him.

1Sa 16:15

And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an [evil spirit] from God troubleth thee.

Why do Republicans not get this?

They even call Social Security an 'entitlement'

I PAID cash for my Social Security insurance. Our benefits aren't some charity or handout.

Now let's look at the congressional benefits and see which is really an 'entitlement' or 'welfare':

Congressional benefits = premium federal health care, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, 3 weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days.

Now which is really 'welfare'?

...when they have never held any other candidate (including their own) to the same standard?

I was just listening to 99.7 here in Nashville. Chris Plante stated that since people accept government assistance, I.e., welfare and food stamps, then the gov has the right to say what they can and cannot buy with EBT cards.

Then he totally flip flops on the current issue between the catholic church and Obama concerning contraception. He stated that, even though catholic hospitals and such receive government funding, that the gov has no say in how the money is spent.

Are all conservative pundits as hypocritical as this guy?

...even work?

Look where it got Greece and the UK...

Some of you act as if by making abortion legal, the government, is making women get them. Fact is, legal or not, women will still choose to have an abortion or not.

By making it legal, at least women aren't forced to have back alley abortions or use a coat hanger on themselves?

Which is the best choice and why?

We're you born into and raised up in it?

Was it because of religious views?

Or was it for another reason(s)?

Tea Party is always claiming they want to get back to states rights and they claim that following the constitution is the way to do this.

However, since the US Constitution was made to keep the states somewhat, in check, especially since the states were getting crazy about religious intolerance and such, is it not antithetical to the tea party's goal?

...approval rating has now jumped to 51%, making him reelect able ?

Are you against it (because it's bigger gov) and are you now against the candidates saying they will use it to fix Medicaid and social security?

From factcheck.org: They show that under President George W. Bush the number of recipients rose by nearly 14.7 million. Nothing before comes close to that.

Under Obama, the increase so far has been 14.2 million. To be exact, the program has so far grown by 444,574 fewer recipients during Obama's time in office than during Bush's.

CBS News noted that the increase in food stamps enrollment "hardly makes Obama the 'best food stamp president in American history,' " pointing out that the "percent increase in beneficiaries during George W. Bush's presidency was higher than it has been under Mr. Obama."

...instead of hiring workers here in the USA?

Steve Jobs had told Obama that he has created over 40,000 jobs in China manufacturing the iphone.

When Obama asked when these jobs will return to the USA, S. Jobs replied, "Never."

This is the norm with big business.

Labor rates are are unbelievably cheap overseas.

The USA cannot compete with them.

So:

Why blame Obama for this when he had nada to do with it?

Why cuddle these 1%ers as if they are "job creators" in the USA when they clearly have no desire to creates jobs here?

Why are so many of you worried about what happens to these 1%ers since they, cheat the government out of 100's of billions of dollars in tax revenues (via Cayman Islands, etc.)?

I'd rather we look out for the middle class. They are the true "job creators". 70% of jobs created are thru the small businesss.

"A Republican lawmaker from North Carolina is seeking a return to the days of public hangings, according to WRAL-TV.

Rep. Larry Pittman delivered an email this week to every member of the state’s General Assembly, describing that hangings needed to be reinstated as a “deterrent to crime,” including those who provide abortions.

“We need to make the death penalty a real deterrent again by actually carrying it out,” Pittman wrote. “Every appeal that can be made should have to be made at one time, not in a serial manner. If murderers (and I would include abortionists, rapists, and kidnappers, as well) are actually executed, it will at least have the deterrent effect upon them. For my money, we should go back to public hangings, which would be more of a deterrent to others, as well.”

Is this guy really that warped?

...that he isn't trying to win the election? And that he's just trying to get more people to join his movement?
