2 Chronicles 7:14 "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." Like he said america has gotten arrogant we need to be humble

i dnt know pat, i dnt know wat buddist are about, their religion their beliefs their doctrines their way of life, but wat i do know is Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." i dnt expect u to agree, to respect or to listen to me, as real chrsitian we are to give the good news of salvation thru Jesus Christ you can take it or not its a sole choice of the person, MLK was a great man of many cus he believed God

To me, what makes a ... ( 1 week ago by dedsperkrat)

To me, what makes a man or woman a good person isn't their beliefs, but their actions. Pat Robertson is an evangelical Christian, and he blames 9/11 on homosexuals in New York; Ghandi was a Hindu, and he was the original non-violent protester. I'm an agnostic, but I'm a much nicer person (I hope) than most religious people I know, who use their religion as an excuse for homophobia and anti-Semitism. One's beliefs don't define that person, nor their skin color; one's actions do.

Obama is just continuing the status quo Obama is not betraying this country, he has not even taken office yet and he told you he would finish the job in Afganistan, you should have voted for Ron Paul. Obama is no different than the rest of the lying politians in D.C. Bush betrayed this country and should be behind bars, he lied 900 _ times about Iraq, Obama told you what he is going to do, he is another warmonger like the rest of them. when will we wake up?

you are entitled to express your opinions as long as it does not express hatred, or cause damage to the good people of the world people who are nothing like you. Best Wishes from a not so arrogant person but some one who is trying to seek a world with out hate mongers like yourself and a world where even for second people can let go of there hated and see people for who they are

LightingStrike2000 - your reply is an example of "projection" there is not one thing I wrote that has anything to do with hate, if you cannot deal with alternative views, then stop exposing yourself to them. You like many others think you can be a thought policeman, like the U.S. has attempted to be the policeman of the world, and maintain the conservative status quo for white priviledge by domination. It won't work anymore, the time of W.S. is finsihed, over, no more. Get used to it.

a69a59b - you will care after you find out what Connie Fogal in Canada has been trying to tell your sleeping ppl is happening to Canada, your smug now because you think your exempt from what is happening in U.S. but your sadly mistaken Canada is being destroyed just like U.S. by the British. Better wakeup before it's too late.

i believe that MLK was a great man also, but i do not believe that he should have been the first black president. he was only a spokesperson . he did not convince, nor spoke, for all blacks; everything that was achieved was through hard work. blacks were tired of how they were treated and they did not wait for MLK to come around to achieve their freedom. as for Obama, he deserves to be the first black president. so get use to it because he is going to be in office for the next 4 years.

The first thing a muslim should do after having made a sin is (he must free a slave) and if there are no slaves, then he or she should do what's next! this is how slavery vanaished! so, Islam is behind the FREEDOM of all slaves around the whole word! Islam is all about Peace! the words (Islam, Salam) mean submission & Peace! so,dear viewer, stop the hate and stop being racist! dont judge Islam and muslims,read about them!
