How do you know other religions make the same life change claims? fear is a great tool As I said earlier today, I think fear is the basis of atheism. What's better, to face a Creator you aren't reconciled to or to go to sleep forever? most mistakenly envision a white male sometimes with blue eyes.... Sorry, it's not about what Jesus looks like. Maybe this is coming from your KKK family outlook. The practice of Christianity is much the same as other religions based in the mid East......eg dress, dietary laws, calender, superiority of men over women, education rights, and historical stories, the parallels are astonishing. I'd say the differences are astonishing ... you can take Hirsi Ali's word for that: ‘We are so blessed as women to live in the United States. The best place to be a woman in the world is in the U.S. The best place to be black in the world is in the U.S.,’..... ‘I cannot imagine a better place to be gay than in the U.S." Was his conversion a good thing or a bad thing? Say yes or no, Shep. Only he can say whether is was good or bad, but anything that changes a terrorist is good, Can't deny that, can you? Many of our black people have converted to Islam which instructs no drugs, crime, cleanliness, smoking,........is that a good thing for them????? Muhammed Ali, Kareem Abdul Jabbar being two of the most famous... You mean Cassius Clay and Lew Alcindor were wrecks before they became Muslim? In fact, Alcindor and Clay both came from employed two parent families. Alcindor went to Catholic schools through high school. And Clay was raised a Baptist. They weren't drunks, dopers, or criminals and were successful athletes before they converted to Islam. I think the Black Muslims recruited them to bolster the movement, so their fame could rub off on them. Two talked at length, describing family problems, promiscuity, drug use, etc. The rest trooped up front near the end each with a sign describing serious problems they'd had before God made them new. An alcoholic, a man with suicidal thoughts and depression, a woman who'd had a malignant brain tumor, a man who was once facing 48 years in prison, and more. A cheap form of psychology.........and somewhere inside each one, a light bulb turned on....and now the invention comes into play.... If it works for them great, But you said you would have them denied the faith that saved them. Why did you say that if you didn't mean it? but leaning on such excuses gives me a guilty conscience........... What's to be guilty about? That needs an explanation. look for the real reasons not imaginary ones. And I've told you many times, I don't hate anything except that word which is among your favorites to justify your weak reasoning. You mean you don't want to seem like a hater, even if you are.

Intoxicated Biden vomits during book reading at preschool Chedoh 4/24/2015, 12:30 am Biden_School_Vomit_Library.jpg [ 56.31 KiB \| Viewed 8654 times ] CHICAGO, IL - A public relations nightmare ensued today after Vice President Joe Biden visited a prominent preschool in the greater Chicago area that enrolls the children of Chicago's elite citizens, while being heavily intoxicated. Despite the pleas of his security detail, Biden refused to cancel the reading of Of Thee I Sing: A Letter To My Daughters, a children's book written by Barack Obama. Teachers at the school said they saw Biden stumble and lean against the wall as he made his way to the library where the event was held. They claimed the Vice President was acting combative towards a female Secret Service agent when she stood between him and the library door, begging him not to go in. Witnesses allegedly heard Biden yell, "God dammit, when I say I'm gonna do something I do it," before shoving the female agent out of the way and stumbling into the room. Once inside the library Biden made an attempt to sit in his chair, falling to the ground as body guards rushed to his aid. Several dozen excited children watched as the Vice President swung his arms at the agents and said, "Get away from me I don't need your f****** help!" There was a slight gasp in the room from adults, while most children were still laughing at the sight of the Vice President falling down. As the book reading began, even teachers in the back of the room reportedly began to notice the smell of alcohol. Biden was noticeably having difficulty reading the book. The Vice President mispronounced common words, repeated the same lines, and slurred as he followed the text with his finger while swaying in his seat. After the first two pages Biden handed the book off to a preschooler, saying, "Here, isn't your job to be read-learning anyway?" He then immediately snatched the book back from the shocked student and continued to read the "blurry words." Having read for a few more minutes, the Vice President stopped in mid-sentence, as his blood-shot eyes seemingly tried to focus on the back of the room. The library went dead silent, with teachers and members of Biden's security detail exchanging anxious looks. After what some later described as "an eternity of a silent built-up of tension," Biden suddenly began projectile vomiting on the book in his hands and towards the students. In the words of Ruby Valentine, a student attending the book reading, "His eyes got real big, like baseballs, and then he started barfing everywhere." The silence broke as screaming children ran away from the Vice President and the security rushed to help him up out of his chair. In the process of getting up, the Vice President lost his balance, stumbled, and fell down towards the frightened children, knocking over a few chairs and a bookshelf. That caused even louder cries of terror from the students as stunned teachers tried to calm them down. Martha Hazard, one of the preschool teachers, later told reporters that "all these kids have a change of clothes on hand and fortunately, only those in the front row needed to be changed. We keep extra clothes in case they get dirty or soiled, but no one ever expected we would have to change them because of the Vice President of the United States. This is surely one of the most disturbing days our academy has ever seen." Accompanied by continued screaming, Biden was carried out of the room since he was no longer able to walk on his own. He was heard sobbing and muttering, "Why'd you have to go, Ted," apparently referring to the late Ted Kennedy, a former close friend of Joe Biden. Having recovered from the momentary confusion, remaining members of the Secret Service collected everyone's cellphones and other recording devices, instructing the perturbed audience that the Vice President was "sick with the flu." They also confiscated all the security footage from that day. As a result, no record of the incident exists anymore, with the exception of eyewitness accounts from teachers and frightened children. Later that day, however, the cleaning staff discovered a nearly empty metal flask with the initials "J.B." engraved on it, under a pile of children's books from the overturned bookshelf. It is surmised that the flask fell out of the Vice President's pocket when he fell down. Joe Biden's office has refused to accept any calls and has aggressively declined to comment.
