Or more like God washing His hands of the matter like Pontius Pilate after telling Dubya He wanted him to be President and then seeing the shit resulting in His name.

I wouldn't trust Bush to tell the truth about anything. If he said it was raining, I'd have to go out into the monsoon to believe it. If he's saying he's praying, I wouldn't believe it unless the angelic hosts came down and said he was.

He prays for Guidance, Wisdom and Strength.

Does he say he uses the Guidence, Wisdom and Strength he prays for?

ROFL! Either he never got it, or uses it.

I guess he should've also prayed that he would use it.

Mahmud of Ghazni tortured and massacred millions of non-combatants because they were "heathens", while ruining India's culture by destroying most of her art work and stealing tons upon tons of her treasures. He was always pious, and every day he asked God for help, never faltering, and continually sure of the victory he eventually obtained. After sacking his conquest, he became, quite possibly, the richest man ever to live, and today he is a hero to many Muslims. This illustrates the power of prayer and positive thinking.

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

I wonder if that's who my old Comparative Religion teacher was thinking about, when she went of on ridiculous tangents about the merits of a "spiritual existence" in that soft, quiet monotone of hers.

So I sometimes quite like to rabbit hole down the related videos and this one came up - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2RD4vTuPN0&feature=related

It's some proof of God but the real question is....

Which film is the music from, it almost sounds like Gladiator at one point, sometimes I think it's West Wing...

Anyone?

It says in the video info that it's from "Passion of the Christ". There was a WW-esque moment, though.

Passion of the Christ, it says so in the little info box off to the side.
What I want to know is why that had to be a video, and not simply a blog post somewhere? I blame Al Gore, who made it cool to have "videos" that were simply recorded power point presentations.

I always felt kind of bad for Pilate. Judas too. It seemed like they were doing the best they could. :(

This, by the way, is what happens when you raise a child with no Christian theology except for "Jesus Christ Superstar". Oh, the hilarity that ensued.

I believe prayer works, and I'm also a Christian.

And yes, I like President Bush. I've seen him twice, and I've been impressed by him.

Right now, My Dad a Pastor has just been diagnosed with Diabetes. My Girlfriend just (An hour ago) left me for another guy. I'm financially insecure, and getting into debt. And it seems my world is continuing to fall apart everyday. But, I know and believe in God that he'll continue to push me along during the day. I believe in him, and that he has something better for me.

Never seen it, probably an indication of the generic nature of soundtracks.

INCORRECT!

One assumes far too much from such limited data. If we're really to test the power of prayer, we'd need to do it en masse, with blind--possibly double blind--testing, for specific prayers, etc etc.

I love how people think assumptions and a lack of knowledge proves things. Just because we don't understand what happened before the universe came into existence--assuming causality even applies--does not mean there was a God.

Or that there was not a God.

It simply means we don't know.

ROFL! Either he never got it, or uses it.

I guess he should've also prayed that he would use it.

Or maybe we should pray for that.
