- Interesting article and comments. A couple of things to consider: 1. Open Office 3.0 for the Mac or Google Docs 2. The faster startup (boot and hibernating) and lack of crashing OS can really...

- You can create PDFs with a little program called PDF Converter 5 Pro from Buy.com for $99. Throw in a copy of OpenOffice software and the Dell is cheaper than the Apple. I don't buy it.

If you read the Bible, God accepted everyone unconditionally. The Catholoc church has so many exceptions that it's sad. That is why I tend to turn from the church.
The church is almost like a cult and I cringe that Christainity is promoting martyrs at this point. When I heard about Pat, I really hoped that it was a bad joke; that his words were mistaken. Guess Not.

While you know what faith I belong to (we had that discussion once), I don't go around advertising it to too many people because everyone then makes assumptions and believes I am a crackpot. LOL I assure you I'm not! :) I agree with you about your faith being your own deeply personal thing and therefore you desire to not broadcast it like a loud mouth screaming liberal! LOL Bravo! You are one more step closer to becoming more conservative (it's not just a political position).
It's true that there are a lot of different christian groups out there who say "Believe in my way or go to hell", but I feel alot of them miss a very serious point, and that is your faith IS your business because ONLY YOU are held responsible for your personal salvation!
I see a lot of intolerance with all different religious groups (mine is no exception) but we must remember that it's the church that is perfect NOT THE PEOPLE!
If we were all perfect wouldn't we already be up in Heaven with Jesus? Instead of down here working from paycheck to paycheck?
I will only disagree with 1 thing about Pat Robertson. While I think he's a moron for saying something that outlandish, certainly you've (not you personally) been overheard saying something ignorant or dumb. Count your many blessings that you don't have the national audience that he does which garners immediate gossip and speculation everytime you mention assassinating a moron dictator like Chavez! :)
While it does say in the 10 commandments "Thou shalt not kill" Heavenly Father is seen in the bible killing thousands. (Easy one to remember Moses and the Romans, Red Sea, etc.) We lose sight of the fact that war among men is sometimes called to action and that what happens in a war is death. Heavenly Father knows which wars were committed in righteousness and that is why people should recognize the difference in death from war and outright murder.
As for assassination, I am all for it if and only if the ends justify the means. In otherwords, I would have been all too happy to see Saddam take a bullet instead of spending billions of our tax dollars holding him in a maximum security prision where I'm certain he's fed steak if he wants it, lawyers, trails, judges, clerks, and everyone else we have to pay for so he can get a "fair trial". LOL
Hugo Chavez is an evil man, anyone who's read news coming out of Venezuela would know that, and to have this guy removed before he becomes the next Saddam is something worth considering.
We will have to come to the realization that in this day and age we spend more of our time policing the world because everyone holds US responsible when "it hits the fan".
Take it easy guys! And just spend some time laughing at the public jesters ;)

This is the first I have heard of the Pat Robertson but as much I too DISAGREE with what he said it is nothing out of the norm in today world.
The president has made some real bad decisions and some even more jacked-up comments. Religion and the DEMISE of the moral fiber that comes with Christianity has been in the front lines for quite a while now.
Pat Robertson, Billy Graham, Jim Baker just to name a few have not only said some real bad comments and some of their actions have been questionable too. But if I am going to be the serious "Sean" that you know let me say this...
NEVER and I mean NEVER let anyone stop you from building a closer relationship with GOD. Church is a place where you learn to build that relationship. I myself like smaller churches because you don't become just another face they actually care and show an unconditional love that bigger churches don't. Continue to grow closer and let those who stake the claim answer for the sins when their time comes.
That is just my 1 1/2 cents.

My point is, Robertson's a huckster and nobody should be taking him seriously. He does a disservice to organized religion and I don't think he really believes it himself.
I'm not a big fan of the actions of many churches (and haven't since the church told my mom they needed a "bigger contribution" to allow me to receive first communion when I was 13; yeah, perfect thing to tell a single mom of 4 kids who teaches kindergarten for a living), but I don't fault anyone for pursuing higher beliefs than what's on this planet. In the end though, religious extremism and corruption will do much more harm for any issues relating to religion than any atheist could.
