LordBLB:

Well, one thing they mentioned was "Separation of Church and State", which would tell me that no presidential leader should use their religious beliefs to reach a decision about federal matters. With that note, NO their religious standpoint is not worth the time to mention. Period. Just my opinion (and that of the founding fathers).

Victoria,
Jacob does not smash his own dogma, he is just as bad as any other zealot. He puts down other's beliefs and pushes his...so he is just the same as any Fundi Christian.

jacobs an equal opportunity dogma smasher-
so friend jacob- does that mean this is truly the dawning of the age of aquarius?

Terra Gazelle:

Jacob Jozevz,
Please put a sock in it. My name is Terra...only my friends can call me Terror.
I am not anti Jesus or pro Hindu...I am pro respect for all religions as long as they are life affirming. I do not blame the religion when it is the people who have made the rules...and they are the ego drivers.

Jacob, You are devisive and just because reading your stuff is like putting together some acrostic puzzle...does not mean that what you have to say is correct or just.

I do not think that having a god you honor above all others, gives anyone the right to denigrate Gods not your own. It does not honor who you are or the god you worship.

Blessed be...

You and everyone else acts/decides/carries pre- assumptions according to your beliefs.You cannot separate your beliefs from you daily actions[you act as you believe].Religion carries over by default into politics also.

Rick G:

It seems to me that we, in these united states are further from unity than ever before,although the civil war of our past is considered. Where it was once a matter of being black or white,we now have whatever or whoever offends me should be silenced, censored, attacked, arrested or enslaved.When our founding Fathers of this nation established their and our freedoms,and the moral values that accompanied them,they valued somethig that they and generations before them once had and was then lost,or stolen by man,or was a freedom never seen let alone had by man.They valued their vision and their faith so much that they were willing to die for it.They were so committed to hold on to it and to proclaim it that they went public with it. What today offends some people,and with their demands to be removed,was once proudly displayed that not one in this New Nation be deceived or left ignorant to the values they lived by,died for,and wanted to protect for future generations.I don't believe we have those values in one candidate today.Our forfathers found freedom from mans government and tried to protect it for us.'One nation under God'.I pray to their/my God that we in America will never lose the freedom to believe and to live out and proclaim in public what or who we choose to believe in, as long as it doesn't go against those 10 rights and values they once so proudly shared and displayed on the buildings and in the halls.And now they are methodically being removed from our childrens and their childrens eyes,and the freedom to speak,even about ones faith is being threatened.What American values are suppose to be about,according to those who helped form this nation.If a candidate can't be open and honest and able to publicly speak,even about his faith/belief,how are we gonna know him.If you agree please indicate by saying YES... If you disagree please indicate by saying NO. Isn't that great! We can still do that publicly,unlike many other parts of the world.Our forefathers must have known something about that? Do we get offended at times in life? Of coarse.Lets not take the coarse of many other nations and peoples by silencing the voice if it differs from 'The One Belief'.There are enough places in the world we can go and get persecuted,imprisoned or killed for our beliefs or for something we say.

Jacob Jozevz On: The Curse of Religious_Jealousy on Space_Ship Earth:

Att: Terror G A Z E L L E > et al:

Did you know that the pre_APOCALYPTIC Hindu character "KRISHNA" is same Biblical Charcter as "JESUS"?

Did you know that both Mr Jesus & Mr Krishna et al are in fact ALL Anti_Humanity & Anti_Civilization?

Please Cyber_Friend > You need to know that both Christians & Hindu "SuperStupidStitious" folk are juat as Pre_apocalyptic as say ISLAMI which is also Anti_Humanity & Anti_Civilization & THIS ALSO INCLUDES JEWS & BUDDHIST TOO???????

EXAMPLES:

Note: Since you sounded Ant_Christian & Pro_Hindu I WILL QUOTE what Jesus said or was quoted as saying First out of Five Pre_apocalyptic "Ant_Humanity & Anti_Civilization" philosophy and competing "RELIGIOUS_JEALOUSY"S!

Here is a "ANTi_Humanity Doctrine of JESUS CHRIST: " If ANY MAN come to me and Mom and Spouse & THEIR KIDS & Their Brethren(s) & Sistar(s) YES & His own LIFE also Resist not EVIL > Love Your Enemies "

Note: Mr JESUS IS "NOT" THE PRONCE OF "PEACE"!

HE even tells you et al & saying NOT even to suppose that he is thus:
"Suppose that "i" Come to bring Peace_On_Earth? "i" tell you NO! But rather DIVISION!" see luke: at Section: Twelve & subsection Fifty_One?

IMPORTANT; BIBLE-BOLLIXERS 'Proclaim" that very same Mr Jesus the "Jew" of the "PELEG" {DIVIDERS} EBER race {Eber is Father of Peleg & JOKTAN of which WE Eclati_On"s come from propheticaly but if ye believe NOT his writing(S) how shall ye believe my words?" wow!

Hear O America & Hear O HUMATES {Citizens & Denizens of Space_Ship Momma Poppa Earth are the CHILDREN of their Creator! Meaning the Sons & Daughters of a G_D! yET the "BOLLIXERS OF ALL Pre_APOCALYPTIC "INFIXUS_BOOKS" have been preaching {hence: WORD_MERCHANTS} that nobody on Earth is "Equal" with the "JEWS_AS_GoDS_Chosen_People" for the healing of the NATIONS ! But are "NOT" at all "HEALING" BUT RATHER dividing {hence: PELEG Eber descendents}!

Its the same "OLD_STORY" of a Chosen_People whether headed by Mr MOSES or Mr Jesus or Mr Mhhamad or Mr Vyasa or Mr Gautama or Guru but if ye believe not in HIS {not HER} HOW shall ye believe my words??" {Please see: JOHN @ Four:TWENTYTWO & @ FIVE:FourtySix & fourty_SEVEN}

I do NOT! DO you?????????

If you do then you are PRE_APOCALYPTIC: and heres WHY:

SYMBOLIC CANNIBALISM OF RABBI JESUS & INCLUDING SYMBOLIC VAMPIRISM! aka "EUCHARIST"! A Pre_Apocalyptic RITUAL or ancient Pagan Baal MOLECH practices of Pre_JEWISH "Multitudes" of idol worshipping slaves! HENCE
IDOLATORY" relics removed by MUHHAMAD at the KABBA IN MECCA Saudi Arabia during Pre_ISLAM ERA created by assimilating {sythesisising} the JUDE_CHRISTIAN & also Zorastrian & SOME HINDU & BUDDHIST preAppocalyptic "SuperStupidStitious" man made & zero fearless & thus zero jealous the genuine mono creator!

So the CRUXOLOGY of the Religious Jealousy Dilemma needs to have a major over_haul or a APOCALYPTIC "CORRECTION_OF_SINS" in their pre_apocalyptic Religion(S) or Faith(S) or Beliefs SYSTEM(S) NOW!

HARK: The "OUR_BOOK"! aka One Universal Religion Book! Notice the SINGULARITY and no longer the PLURALITY!???

YES! EPONYMOUS LORD "ECLAT + "i" EQUALS PHOTONS is "OUR" Real Philosophy!

YEP! There is nothing like a NEW_PHILOSOPHY aka a "New_Song" coming from the times past of their old_songs!

good riddence to ALL pre_apocalyptic Religions on Space_Ship Earth!

WELCOME to ECLATARIANITY aka APOCALYPTARIANS aka ECLATi_ON"S!

Explanation on ECLAT + "i" New_Song:

In ECLATi_ON philosophy there is a word called "PRETER_NATURAL"!

PRETERNATURAL: The "Nature" (IT"S Law(s) are OUR "CLAUSES") of the UNIVERSE (is the genuine & real CONSTITUTION for Eclati_ONS not Offs) before ANY of IT {eponymous Eclat} became as "Natural" as IT or ITSELF {g_d is not a he nor a she so never say "He"}! SO:

This "Eponymous_Eclat of SOURCE_ONE {zero Poly & not like the G_d(S) of all ABRAHAMICS & VEDICS WHOS FAITH sYSTEM(S) ARE IN FACT poly & ZERO_mono faiths} which "THE_PEOPLE" of the Earth have also called the "SUPER_NATURAL" behind the surfaces and appearances of the "Natural"!

"IT" {G_D by ANY name I THE LORD {not ECLAT} do all these things!"

ATTENTION: "PRETER" means both "Before & beyond"! When conjoining or coupling the word "NATURAL" IT refers to the "ELEMENTS OF BEYONDNESS" {Hindu & Buddah folk think they know this but they do NOT!} befor Us which is "The_Mover" of ALL things & stuff in "TRANSFINITY" but which is also "Hidden" from OUR_view by the "ACTS" thus resulting in the "Natural_World" that depends on the "PRETER_NATURAL" TO POWER_IT OR ITSELF ACCORDINGLY!

Please see: IMMORTAL TRANSFINITY & ETERNITY AVOIDING LONELINESS!

PS: TRANSFINITY_itself means:

NOTE: "ECLAT" in the English Dictinary means "A brilliance Bursting_Forth"! Hence: The FIAT_LUX (Let there be light"!) AND in "SANSKRIT" dictionary"s "EK" MEANS one! SO:

"Transfinity" means: "REALITY"! And Ecalati_On knowledge of this miracle in Reality {zero sin< both Birth & Re_Birth< INCLUDES dEATH} is about the "Transfer" of FINITY from place to place {from Planet to planet ETERNAL hOPPINGS} as "Particles" or "Signals" and "Forms" & "Pieces" of the UNIVERSE!

WE Humates live in "Transfinity" which is movement of ITSELF {ECLAT + "i" you} and this "Transfering" {limited & immortal stuff & is in fact CONSERVED so to speaketh} is done by the LAW(S) OF NATURE (the CLAUSE(S) of the UNIVERSE (A constitution itself innately doing the LAW & ORDERing Holy Cosmic WORK so to speaketh between ABSOLUTE_HOT & COLD balancing ACTS via Us_ALL} which are also parts of TRANSFINITY!

therefore: Before the expression of "FINITY" as a UNIVERSE both ECLAT & TRANS_FINITY were only DUE_TO_BE! Where the Laws of Nature are the the LAWS OF THEIR CREATOR {Eclat} and that "SYNERGETICATOR" does "NOT_BREAK_ITS_OWN_LAW(S)! and:

Since nothing is external to OUR_TRANSFINITY and there is nowhere else for ANYTHING to goeth except "Back_to_ITs_SOURCE" so that it is impossible for that source to ever "Lose_Anything" where as the deafinition of "JEALOUSY" is the FEAR of loosing what one wants for ITSELF {itself} exclusively!" SO:

IT follows that SOURCE_ONE of the "TRANSFINITE UNIVERSE" IS NOT {ZERO} THE "JEALOUS_GOD" described in the BIBLE(S) and preached by "BIBLIOMANIACS" {g_D players & actors as such} during the PRE_APOCALYPTIC TIME(S) of Space_Ships Earths PEOPLE aka Humates today!

HARK: Niether the G_D of "TRANSFINITY" ANY of the tribal feities preached by ANY of the Pre_Apocalyptic thinkers in the WORLD who describe "Their_GOD" as acting "JEALOUSLY" in their favor for anything or as breaking the LAWS OF NATURE in order to "Enforce" such JEALOUSY against)Others or even against the "Believers" in that definition of their or that DEITY!

THA "OLD_STORY" is and was TOTAL_DECEPTION!

WHEREFORE: The TRANS_FINITE UNIVERSE of a FEARLESS GOD and therefore an UNJEALOUS G_D since JEALOUSY {religious} is the fear of losing what one wants exclusively for oneself and there is nothing {zero} in existance {nor on other planets as possesors of OUR holy Fronta_Lobes via a system of MIRACLES} that can take ANY_PART of EXISTENCE away from ITs GENUINE CREATOR!

< ?: +)? ya YA!

Joanna:

Religion, or the practice of faith, may be very personal. However, faith itself greatly influences the politial stance of any candidate.

And the political stance of any person, for that matter.

I often look at a candidate's faith (along with his/her belief on the role of government), for example, because I can just about predict where that candidate will stand politically.

Many candidates practice moral relativism (no matter what their "personal" religion). This can be dangerous, because then they make decisions based on circumstances, rather than on principle. ...Then you get a candidate who's "wishy washy," a contradictory voter, etc.

I challenge you to look at the candidates based on their principles, rather than at their image, speaking abilities, or even mis-characterized voting records.

Principle is unpopular, but incredibly important!

Terra Gazelle:

Rajan Zed,

I made sure I was watching as you made the invocation at the Senate. I am so sorry that there were rude and mistaken people that interrupted your beautiful prayer.

As you were calling for Peace, they rained down their hell on you. But, sir, you were calm and dignified. I was so proud to have witnessed it. But ashamed too.

As a non Christian I was happy that you were giving the invocation...As a citizen I was ashamed that Americans, whose founders guarenteed religious freedom within these borders, forgot that fact.

If they would have opened their hearts and kept their mouths closed, they would have gained much knowledge about how all people cry for peace and unity.

May Mother Lakshmi smile on you,
Namaste...

Terra

Terra Gazelle:

Ron Paul is a libertarian...just a Greedy Conservative in Hideing.

You think that waiting for equality is something to ask Americans to do? I would say that getting enough Dems in office will end the war, and bring equality to all citizens.

Ron Paul wants to go back 200 years as far as what the Constitution will cover.
You need to think about what that means. You want business to get what ever they want? Vote Libertarian, they do not want any regulation. Enron would have loved that. Ron Paul sings the same ole song of Drowning government in the bath tub...I heard that as failed levees waswashed away New Orleans...

If you need help, forgetit... they believe in personal responcibility...not to worry about SCHIP...there won't be any help for the poor.Of course there are a few things that citizens can not do...go to war and build roads. That a libertarian government will do. They want to kill Social Security,More money to go to private charity to help the poor...more faith based hucksterism to end welfare, they also want to legalize drugs.

You want Ron Paul? He is not an Independent,he is a Republican. He votes with the Republican party...

Jacob Jozevz on: "Forsake ALL Religions":

Nomastae Mr. Z e d, et al;

Is it not true that under "The Holy GEETA" [via a Publisher (sri RAM BATRA) via a commentary by Mr. Swami Chinmayanada] who sais or wrote, therein & thereof, in that so called GEETA (Bible) of his/theres or Bahavad-Gita of the UPANISHADS (Secret Writings) of the MAHABHARATA & VYASA too,

"... FORSAKE-ALL-RELIGION(s)..." @ 18: 66 of that "Holy-Geeta"???? In other words "Hindu Religion" is SUPREME!?????

Question: Did not Mr. Mose & company & Mr. Jesus & Mr. Muhhamad et al ALL have similar Lord-ECLAT MONOPOLY competing sanzez, Surahs, sentences , scripture etc.. so to speaketh ??????? AND;

Do they not ALL agree with having "Light" & All also agree that there is an APOCALYPSE/REVELATION COMMETH??????? And do they not ALL [Tanach/Bibles/Quoran/Gita/Tantra a/k/a man made & zero G-d/Yawah/Krishna/Buddha/ Allah" INFIXUS-BOOKS"] agree in the "MANNA" stuff OR HOLY-kARMA {something that our leadership will one-day , of desperate need or a moment in time will need or pray for) so to speaketh in order to know "WHAT-TO-DO-NEXT" in their reality?. And do they not ALL-Agree that LIFE (birth not Photons) is a Sin? [like stoping re-birth via MOKSHA] ????? SO;

VOTE; One Universal Religion Book via the U.N.! aka the "OUR-BOOK" a/k/a "The Book Of Ours"! This way everybody will finally be religiously in Agreement with one another (zero hastling over a name or flavour for a G-d System) that will replace ALL yOur ancient "Pisces-Age" Pre-Apocalyptic INFIXUS-BOOKS & that which will usher-in genuine "Healing of Nations, Global Peace..." and more good tidings as prophecied and promised via ALL Space-Ship Earths "FIVE-MAJOR-RELIGIONS"!

IMPORTANT; tHE Non-Jealous thus fearless LORD/G-D/Eclat/Allah & by Many names will REVEAL (OPPOSITE OF SECRETS) "ITSELF" via (G-d/ISHVARA/Eclat + "i" Made & man Made) the desperately need & sought for "O.U.R.-BOOK"!

This is your Prophecy fulfillment or direction & there is no other like "IT" (Creator of the FIAT-LUX, never a "he" nor a "she"). To accomplish this is beyond a man made "Wonder Of The World" so to speaketh!

HARK: The age of the "correction Of biblical' Sin is here!

G-d consents, but only for a TIME. IT (Eclat) is TIME ((Temperature)), not clock or Space-time thinking that is our miracle today & forever tomorrow & zero sin).

p.s: LIFE = photons (We are Eclati-On & WE appear as immortal "Photon-Essences" in Photon/Biocarbon mist forms that have come from the HOLY-MAGMAPERCOLATION for now & of Many Holy Cosmic Planet Hoppings) THEN & NOW AGAIN. And;

So, THERE IS A ZERO SIN IN BEING BORN! As a Matter of fact , sex & being naked is a MIRACLE & zero sin! THERE IS NOTHING SIN OR WRONG ABOUT THE ECLATi-ON PLANET HOPPING AWARENESS phenomonon! Is there something sin about a larvae growing a caterpillar & then innately becoming a Butterfly????? So why are you Pre-Apocalyptic folk so ANTi-CIVILIZATION & ANTi-HUMANITY????????

Vote: UP with APOCALYPTIC "Holy Cosmic Feelers Faith" & DOWN with Anti-Civilization & anti-humanity Docrines via the Pre-Apocalyptic "superstupidStitious" man made G-d Story's (Written or told Verbal) INSTEAD of ECLAT {The real vishna/Krishna/Rama & by many names}!

Jacob Jozevz: Ordained Revelation Minister (ORM) of the ECLATARIAN faith & Cruxologist & Biomentalogist therein & thereof.

< ?: +) Ya Ya. Thank You!

Shookria!

Rev. Mark J. Seydel:

I couldn't agree more. I just had a "disagreement" with gentleman the other day. He told me he would not vote for Ron Paul because of what he has said are his beliefs about gay marriage. I would like to see all people treated equally, but I think that can wait a bit. There are innocent Iraqis and Soldiers dying every day.

This person even agreed with me that Ron Paul is a great candidate for president. Go figure.......
It's all about "me"!
