      Also, what happens if we "fail" this faith test? Assuming you've been baptized and everything per your denomination of Christianity, you still go to heaven anyway.

      have to chuckle at the anti-Christian types - ALL Christians are the same, ALL believe in tele-evanglelists, ALL are far right wing, ALL anti-abortion yada, yada.

      are all Muslims terrorists? do they all beat their wives?

      one of the best Christians I ever knew was a gay man. alternative lifestyle, a Harley, drugs, sex and rock and roll and everything in between. neverwent to church. he knew his New Testament hands down and he lived it. kind caring loving sharing accepting giving.

      don't be so quick to judge us Christians!
      OK, I was going to respond to this but 2 pages later what I would say is redundant

          Its one key way it happens...but its faith, so it doesn't happen for everyone. Most who say what you say are still on the couch ...and then there's no way there will be a connection.

          As with some Christians, some athiests are not capable of having meaningful discussions about religion.

              Sorry, I don't know where that occurred. Some people are just generally curious about others experiences. Based on your questions, I took you for that...which I guess was not the case.

              Sooo...back to politics?

                    Frothy is not going gently into that dark night. I love the little "Saw" scare chords.

                    It's Bush League (in so many ways), but that sort of thing can really work on that target demographic. They should check to see whether the DNC is financing these ads.

                      Not from Wiscaaaansin myself, but when Rasmussen is showing a Republican losing a race, its time to hit the panic button.

                      A new Rasmussen survey in Wisconsin shows a majority of voters want Gov. Scott Walker (R) recalled in the June 5 election, 52% to 47%.

                      Key finding: 53% disapprove of his job as governor with a whopping 46% saying they "strongly disapprove" of him.

                      ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                      Now I always take the little jerk's polls with a grain of salt, but I do wonder if Walker is running into a problem of People who Oppose Anti-Union Laws + People Who Just Like to Kick Politicians in the @ ss > Walker Supporters. Some voters just like voting out incumbents, no matter what their political party. Curious if this is playing out (as in somebody supports or doesn't care about union issues, but still is voting for a recall).

                          Primary day here in MD. At least the Romney "vote for me and I'll set you free" cold calls will end tonight.

                          How many times can I say "No!"?

                            "Yes" and "no" are not in Mitt's vocabulary; only "maybe".

                              There is an old accountants joke that when asked what 2+2 is, the answer the accountant gives is "What do want the number to be?".

                              That's Mitt. He gives you the answer you want to hear, not the truth or what he believes.

                              He can't handle the truth?
