The New York Times is Misleading the Public on Iran
By Robert Naiman
AIPAC is trying to trick the United States into another catastrophic war with a Middle Eastern country on behalf of the Likud Party's colonial ambitions, and the New York Times is misleading the public with allegations that say that the country is developing "weapons of mass destruction". http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article30187.htm

Prayer changes things
Look forward to a new day
In communication with God
Prayer changes things
hippypoet : "prayer – works as much as placebos.
faith – just another word for hope.
god(s) – an idea
death – fear that makes all the above seem worth trying.
religious people – having the inability to discern truth from fiction
afterlife – a hope
all these things are true, unless one can prove differently."
Logic check reveals fallacy in hippy's statement. He makes several assertions w/out any evidence or proof, except that his "proof" is his OPINION based on his faulty conclusion (stated as fact no less) that "all these things are true, unless one can prove differently."
The truth is that things can be true BEFORE they're proven (eg, string theory might be true, yet not yet proven).
In fact, that's the way it is with just about everything.
Regarding establishing the truth of faith via measurable scientific proof, that will be a futile pursuit until the Supreme Intelligence decides to reveal in that manner. Indeed, the Intelligence has communicated that very fact to mankind via oral and written transmission. In the meantime we are directed by means that are not detectable by scientific apparatus.
There is nothing illogical about this. Concluding that there's no Supreme Intelligence simply due to lack of scientific evidence (when it's already been made known that the Intelligence is not ready to reveal in that manner yet) is illogical.
Finally, I don't need scientific evidence to back up my statement here because I'm merely proof-checking Hippy's statement – NOT attempting to prove anything else (especially in light of my statement that Supreme Intelligence is not provable via science at this time (a well-known fact found throughout various Divine transmissions).
Please scrap this "Morning Rundown" thing. I don't whether it has something to do with the black and white image, it doesn't attract me to open the blog.
HEY CNN....ISN'T IT TIME FOR ANOTHER TEBOW STORY?
Funny, CNN never reported on the Belief Blog the last few days, that Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York was "created" a cardinal, last week. Why is it, all we get is politics here ? They ignore the religion stories. And BTW, CNN, it's time for the weekly Mormon story. Did you forget ?
Prayer changes things
Start your day with prayer
And the word of God
Pray without ceasing in 2012
report abuse on all bs posts by this person...they are bs Canadian and have no opinion....there's your sign.
prayer – works as much as placebos.
faith – just another word for hope.
god(s) – an idea
death – fear that makes all the above seem worth trying.
religious people – having the inability to discern truth from fiction
afterlife – a hope
all these things are true, unless one can prove differently. You place your lifestyle on a hope of an afterlife and for the praise of a dead man and his father – thats sick and thats delusional and you require meds to function properly or you need to be commented. (hint) if you believe god talks to you, i'd keep that a sercet till you get out...just saying, it might help your poisition of release.
oh and if you truly mean to pray without cease why is it that you are able to type? without cease means you don't eat, drink, go to the bathroom, sleep – well i think you get the idea – or maybe not being it was yours to begin with and you clearly su.cked then so why should i have any hopes for you now... who knows... ones things for sure thou – you use air thats better used by the rest of the human race for you give to this world nothing of value but misplaced hopes and pointless fears!
Prayer is the well spring of life.
Pray without ceasing in 2012
AMEN!
