Opinion: Eddie Long still has more apologizing to doEditor’s note: Carolyn Edgar is a lawyer and writer in New York City. She writes about social issues, parenting and relationships on her blog, Carolyn Edgar. By Carolyn Edgar, Special to CNN Now that Bishop Eddie Long has apologized to the Anti-Defamation League for a service at his New Birth Missionary Baptist Church that purported to crown him a “king,” one has to wonder what Long was thinking. With all the scandal that has surrounded him recently, Long and the New Birth leadership should have anticipated that the video of the New Birth service would attract a great deal of attention, including from Jewish groups. Even if Long were unfamiliar with Jewish rituals and traditions, he might have guessed that having himself wrapped up in a Torah scroll might be considered controversial. Long rightly apologized to the Anti-Defamation League for misusing the holy Hebrew scriptures and Jewish rituals in his “coronation” ceremony. However, Long still owes some apologies. FULL STORY

not a character out of Orwell's books. To me lack of wnsreaeas of mental health problems and medical malpractices are bigger issues than materialism. Depression among pregnant woman is more common thing than you think. Staying at home and doing nothing just compounds it. I can list a few things one can do if they are forced to stay at home. She can read, learn new things, watch new movies, help out somebody or just teach street children. Not willing to do anything to change her present situation is a sign of depression and she needs help.
ACT'S 12: 21-23....
21-and upon a set day Herod,arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them(22) And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, not of a man.(23) And Immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not GOD the glory; and he was eaton of worm's, and gave up the ghost. (KJV)

Don't worry! I'm not psychotic yet. I was just answering a post seemingly using 'scientific' evidence to discredit prayer. There are actual studies which shows prayer helps but we do not claim to be for or against it. Science is about brutal honesty not atheism or any other religion.
