"walter" gave me a thumbs down too. Don't have a clue who he/she is . except that one has to assume he gets a tad defensive when anything to do with god is mentioned. Particularly by a politician who will say such stuff just to appeal to the bible belt .

What you stated in above post speaks of reason and rational thought. and very well articulated. Cudos.

Walter makes me look like a lefty and occasionally give me a thumbs down as well. He kind of likes the Republican party although I'm not sure if he has a favorite for leader other than he liked junior.

Walter has given me a bad review on two of them. A bad rating from Walter is like being given
a badge of honour. When I get criticism I question whether I might have said it differently. Not when Walter ways in though, if he says its bad it must be getting pretty close to the dead center. Thanks Walter I appreciate your comments

Is Walter still around? I thought he had given up on CC. It appears that every now and then he rises from the dead to walk the forums once more.

God could use a little coaching.

Dear God, if you want someone to run for President then simply make them decide to run. Then simply have everyone else think it's a great idea. The system you use now is far less effective. You must have a lot on your plate. Chatting with Herman is taking you away from much more important work, like expanding the universe, research on your branded particle, or ensuring the BC Lions win next weekend.

........the most important...er....critical item being seeing that BC WINS with a resounding lead. . Heck, just a win will do .;-)

How about channelling to one of the posters on here to give us the odds on the game.??

While we are having this confab........is there any real substance to the string theory??

Oh ......and if you must communicate with one presidential candidate.....seems only diplomatic and fair to do so with all the others.

Us humanoids love to see these bozos in a rooster fight over who is better, smarter, more attractive , richer and more devious.

for the record: ya must remember who "created" this humanoid...:p Do pass a Hi to Darwin..

When Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon faith, got his message from God to run for President, he got killed.

Might have had something to do with the fact that he was a fruit loop charlatan who started a revolution back east that got him and his followers sent off to Utah or the wagon train full of settlers he had murdered.

I am interested in some who have the belief that God is going to let the Lions win.
As a Rider fan, it doesn't much matter except I don't like Wally and I will be for the
Eskimos. If the Lions win it will be the first time I have cheered for the East to win.
Well I hope its Winnipeg then. Anyone but the Lions. Now look at the position God
is in he has to please two groups. So much for the power of prayer.
Walter who are you praying for to win the big game

OK........I bite. Why don't you want the LIONS to win?? (thx.) remember ,god is listening to all this. ;-) So it might come down to who makes a better case. ;-) for the record: he better do more than "let" them win. He better MAKE them win.- after all, with all those magical powers...

The thing about being Mormon is that it is/was a glimpse into the before-and-afterlife much greater than anything ever offered before.

that could make for a very interesting discussion. Would you be inclined to do a new topic that would lend itself to such a discussion??

Personally, I am interested in all these ideas , beliefs etc for what they are. ...and how they are practiced by the various cultures on the planet. Even though I am a realist , a humanist, .....I find these beliefs exotic and fascinating. Just as I find the nature of "belief" itself a complex mindset.- in terms of how these beliefs evolve, are passed from generation to generation , find a place in various traditions, etc. Mostly, the question of how they take root in the first place. (apart from the obvious family dynamics and traditions )

Another question that comes to mind is : How come some question the validity of beliefs (which are really unsubstatiated ) and keep a receptive mind to all ideas, theories , and creative thinking......while some find it more comfortable to simply not question, and just follow along in whatever traditional path they have been brought up in. The dynamics of all this encompasses the mind, its abilities, its elasticity as well as its suggestability. & vunlerability.

Dear God..................forget all the above except the part about the Lions winning next weekend........that is so much more important! LOL!

God won't 'let' the Lions win, DG...............she will be the wind beneath their wings. :smile:

As for the Bombers, better hope that God isn't rooting for the Ti-Cats.

Dear Gawd,
Pay no attention to politicians; they're too self centred. Send me $50 x 10^6 instead.
Yours truly,
Spade
PS
A higher sum would also be appreciated; and, I won't run for president.

Satan phoned me and was going off about how Cain. He is really the one helping Cain but Cain is going around say it was God. He ain't happy.

I just received an abbreviated email from Abel. Something about Cain picking up a new club. Geez, I never knew Cain was a golfer. Wonder what his handicap is.

Of course, He could just get so fed up with the nonsense that He might send His son back to the planet to restore some order.
