Nov 9 - Christian Right Decision



The leaders of the Christian Right have been unable to decide who they will back in the 2008 Presidential election. The evangelicals are split on which Republican to help support. Three prominent religious leaders have each chosen a different leader which will be interesting to see how it plays out. What is very interesting is Robertson's decision to back the more moderate Republican candidate Rudy Giuliani.

"It is my pleasure to announce my support for 'America's Mayor,' Rudy Giuliani, a proven leader who is not afraid of what lies ahead and who will cast a hopeful vision for all Americans," Robertson said.

Nov 8 - Televangelists

Televangelists honestly scare me. I really don't think that they believe in their religion but only try and steal the money from innocent, naive, and uneducated people. It is ridiculous that soo many people are unable to make the judgment that these people are thieves. I guess it is a reflection of the intelligence of America and the desperate desire to be part of a group.

Nov 7 - Warren Jeffs


Warren Jeffs is the leader of a polygamous religion. He is a self-pronounced prophet. Sitting in jail awaiting trial, this leader renounced his role as a prophet and said he had been "immoral" with a sister and daughter decades ago.

I truly think this guy is a complete sicko. I don’t understand how people can be fooled to fall for a polygamist religion. It shows how people are not willing to research what they believe or follow. I think it is ridiculous how uneducated some people are and how desperate they are in order to fit in.

Nov 6 - Ahmadinejad on Homosexuality



In this clip the President of Iran, Ahmadinejad discusses the issue of homosexuality in Iran. He claims that Iran does not have the "problem" of homosexuality. This was a very controversial speech made at Columbia University this year. However, it has been said that the translator of the speech was not 100% accurate on the wording of Ahmadinejad's speech. Because of this some of the things that were said may have been misconstrued.

Nov 5 - Benny Hinn


I honestly think Benny Hinn is a crazy person who has manipulated so many people into believing in his words. He has conned people into believing that by donating money to his televangelist church, they would be saved and be healed from any of their illnesses. I truly think Benny Hinn is a charlatan and an evil person because of his constant blatant lies to people. It is disgusting the trickery used to get money from people that is used to support Benny Hinn's lavish lifestyle.

Nov 2 - The Power of Nightmares

This video clip is part of a larger documentary called the "Power of Nightmares". It highlights how the small group of elite neo-conservatives know that religion is not real but they recognize how it's a very useful tool to gather a mass of people. They explain how religion is used to manipulate the people and the way they control the decision making process of the people.

Nov 1 - Bill Maher speaks to Ann Coulter



Bill Maher speaks to guess Ann Coulter on the show after her commentary against Jews in America. In her introduction Bill introduces her as a Communist instead of a columnist. It is interesting how much publicity Ann Coulter is getting by simply saying ridiculous and controversial statements. It is a shame that by simply being controversial anyone can get media attention these days in our culture and society.
