Jesus Christ endorses a candidate for mayor????
I have to say it, so forgive me:
There are mental patients wandering around the streets of our major cities, who believe they hear the voice of Jesus, but they don’t run for mayor!

Very scary that this could become a self-fulfilling prophecy
‘Religious Freedom’-Fighting NC Lawmaker Opposes Islamic Prayer in Legislative Meetings: ‘I Do Not Condone Terrorism’
This North Carolina Lawmaker (or in this case, since it is against the US Constitution “Lawbreaker” believes that it’s okay to have a state religion—but only if it’s HER’s.  So, would the next logical step be to outlaw other religions (and in this case, particularly Islam)? Â
How about a state declaring that that state religion was “atheism”?

Do Americans have a god-given right to have guns?
Among the arguments given by the NRA and pro-gun lobby in their fight against gun control is the claim that the right to have guns is God-given.

Taking as few months to peruse the archival records in Europe and Asia, and consulting with experts at the Vatican and various Biblical scholars in Israel and elsewhere I was able to obtain access to the only copy of the Epistle of John to the NRA and found the reference, which I have been given permission to quote as below

How the brain creates out-of-the-body experiences and religious epiphanies
Having myself having had both (an out-of-the-body experience as a child after a massive dose of penicillin), and a religious epiphany while walking on the top of the walls of Jerusalem  in 1990, I found this article by Dr. Sacks very interesting.  Does it preclude a genuine religious experience of God?  Personally, I think the jury is still out.
