I hear a lot of people say that God is in their lives because they pray for something and it happens, therefor God answered their prayers and therefor God exists. Isn't that flawed logic to automatically assume God answered your prayer because what you prayed for happened?

If nothing can escape a black hole, not even light, then how can it's gravity escape the black hole and pull objects around it? Aren't there gravitational waves and gravitons, (which haven't ever been detected but have been theorized to exist), which propagate away from a massive object? How could these gravitational waves or gravitons escape a black hole?

I never thought of him that way and neither do any democrats for that matter.

It's not a human when it's a sperm and an egg, but it's a human when the sperm does enter the egg? If it's human before the sperm enters the egg, then men are committing mass murder every time they masturbate, right? Even the bible says the soul doesn't enter the body until the day of birth.

If the economy recovers under Obama's watch, he'll probably be re-elected, but if it doesn't recover, he probably won't be re-elected. Also, a bad economy gives the republicans a way to justify cutting social programs they don't like such as planned parenthood, social security, medi-care, student loans, etc. It also gives them an excuse to cut environmental programs, institutions, and laws they don't like cause they hurt corporate profits, such as the EPA, or laws curbing green house gases.

If our pledge of allegience to America is a pledge that says we are, "One Nation Under God", then doesn't that imply that non-believers are less American or not American at all?

The "Under God" part was added during the 50's to separate us from the Godless Russians. So was the, "In God We Trust" on our currency; so this is not what the founding fathers intended. In fact, the founding fathers wanted freedom from religious indoctrination.

freedom of religion, government sponered college grants and loans, healthcare for the poor, etc?

They want do away with the EPA so our waters can be polluted so big polluting companies like the big oil companies can make more profit, they want to decrease spending on education, they don't want to make healthcare affordable for the poor, they don't want freedom of religion for Muslims by fighting them on where they can put their mosques, they want to change the history books so that there is less emphasis on Thomas Jefferson because they don't want the public to realize that the founding fathers wanted a separation of church and state, (it's as if they want the Christain Church to rule the country), no more Mexican immigrants, the list goes on and on.

If a woman's life is at risk by going through with a pregnancy, (pregnancy is always risky and many women die from it), should the woman not have the right to terminate the pregnancy because the fetus is more important?

Wouldn't it be akin to giving alcohol to a minor?

Mexicans are some of the hardest workers I know and pay taxes every day they are here spending money. They bring down the costs of many items we take for granted like labor costs and food costs.

what country he was born in? Of course he was born in Hawaii. His name was printed in both Oahu news papers, his Birth Certificate has been provided on numerous occasions, and he has child hood friends in Hawaii. He could have been born in Afghanistan and still be president because his mom was a U.S. citizen when he was born; so why still the doubt about his legitimacy?

Socialism such as the fire department, public education, the police department, medicare, social security, welfare, etc....

Using data from MRI scans, researchers at the University College London found that self-described liberals have a larger anterior cingulate cortex--a gray matter of the brain associated with understanding complexity. Meanwhile, self-described conservatives are more likely to have a larger amygdala, an almond-shaped area that is associated with fear and anxiety.

That it's been a mass conspiracy to make Obama president since he was born?

They have never wanted to be part of the U.S. and still don't. It was only voted to be part of the U.S. by white residents of Hawaii because non-white votes didn't count back then. If it were put to a vote by the people there now, it would quickly become it's own nation again.

They criticize him for helping impose a no-fly zone over Libya, yet before there was a no-fly zone, they were criticizing him for not imposing a no-fly zone. Do they only care about political gain or what?

At first, republicans were all for a no fly zone over Libya. But now that Obama has made that happen, they're all against it.

He took a huge surplus and turned it into a massive deficit, while at the same time republicans deregulated the lending market which led to the house market collapse which led to the current world recession. But now that a democrat is in office, republicans want to make deep cut's in spending?

Now's not the time to make deep cuts in spending when we're trying to create jobs. Making deep cuts in spending will only cost hundreds of thousands of jobs without helping the economy at all. I thought republicans were supposed to be helping create jobs, not taking them away.
