Sarah Palin's Protections Against Witchcraft
Reader Comments
God is a concept and the Bible isn't real
Yes, blank of OK I can. Evil doesn't exist... at least not in the sense that most people can understand. Evolution didn't stop with opposable thumbs... the next step is an evolution of ideas and that can't work hand-in-hand with Religion. So without open debate and dialogue, we're delaying our evolution as a species and for one I'd like to get on with it.
This is made more difficult by people who believe that books are the holy word of their concept of God. God IS a concept, an idea... an opinion if you will. If it works for you GREAT, but don't turn the argument on those who don't believe and say we're afraid of the bible and the like. You with Faith in an opinion, cannot assume that those of us who KNOW that man made the book you so cherish are afraid. I'm as afraid of the bible as I am of Curious George. I'll bet that many of you believe, as my family does, that they've proven the virgin birth too! I'm sorry that even if Mary was raped by a Roman Soldier that she would be held guilty too... it's just the way it was. I wouldn't have reported it either!
Listen, I've broken from years and years of child abuse/programming and feel badly for those who cannot (or are to afraid to) break free. I know it's scary to understand we're alone here... but it's one of the first steps toward Evolving ideas and getting along with thy neighbor. It's a big planet, but a small world and we've got to work together here. Religion is flawed from the very beginning because of Faith. Faith in an opinion.
Good day to you and yours,

Sarah Palin
Can someone tell me why it is a bad thing to ask for protection against ANY kind of evil?
Sara is nothing more than a Calamity Jane
Oh good grief! There are no evil, evil ones tricking America other than the REPUPLICANS! Keep the faith? I keep the faith daily, yet I recognize that Palin and McCain are only in this election for themselves! They are tricking you by sidetracking your innocent mind with religion! They recognize that it is a divide and conquer strategy that will keep them in office. They also recognize that they can say words that they don't mean by appealing our faith in God as a nation. Yes, in God I do trust but I also recognize that even God tells us that we must learn to follow his path and not be afraid. Palin and McCain are making our nation afraid the same way as G.W.B. did. So maybe you need to rethink your definition of evil because it does exist but not where you are pointing but rather in our government REPUPLICANS!!!!
Palin & Religion
Any time a belief system is not based on rationality, there is danger. This has been shown time & time again with Christianity (6 million "witches" tortured & murdered, inquisition, support of slavery, trying to hold back science - ie. Gallileo), Islam (9/11 - nuf said) as well as other irrational beliefs such as extreme communism (Orwell's 1984 - suspiciously like religion where "thoughtcrime" leads to permanent death by burning in Hell - talk about overkill). I am concerned that Palin is a literal, bible believing christian. This makes her NOT rational. Along with her utter incompetence, and lack of any apparent critical thought, this makes her DANGEROUS. Do we want to sink the USA into oblivion? The fact that Palin still has "fans" just shows that you can fool some people all the time with all flash, no substance.
Get Real!
There are evil forces in this world. Yes there are. And the dangerous candidate would be the one who is ignorant of the forces of Satan.
Not afraid to pray myself
Well, I find it a little refreshing. We have a true leader who is not afraid to stand up. Looks like we have a few liberals here afraid of the bible and Christianity.
Lets have a small tour of the American history... why don't we..
since the liberals have neither read it or read their bible (*wait... do they own one).
First the bible has words in it like "JESUS" and "witch craft". I will quote a verse just for you with the word witch craft in it... Rebellion is like the sin of witch craft.
History:
Did you know that 52 of the 55 signers of The Declaration of Independence were orthodox, deeply committed Christians? The other three all believed in the Bible as the divine truth, the God of scripture, and His personal intervention.
It is the same congress that formed the American Bible Society. Immediately after creating the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress voted to purchase and import 20,000 copies of scripture for the people of this nation.
Our second president John Adams served as chairman of the American Bible Society. You know, that society that talks about Jesus.
Consider these words from George Washington, the Father of our Nation, in his farewell speech on September 19, 1796:
"It is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible. Of all the dispositions and habits that lead to political prosperity, our religion and morality are the indispensable supporters. Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that our national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."
Sounds to me like he is talking about that Jesus Freak bible.
Finally, Sarah Palin has what this nation needs. Jesus.
I quote another verse and you match it to Bill Clinton and those that support homosexuality.
1 Corinthians 6:9
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders.
Religion is not the scarey thing here,but those that don't practice the teachings and are trying to run our nation. Now that is scary.

Your error in headlines. Note the pastor's word "rebuke". She was not blessed regarding witchcraft. The spirit of witchcraft was rebuked in the name of Jesus. Most evangelicals believe that the Word of God is complete truth and the the Apostle Paul said in his letter to the Ephesians 6:11-12 (11)"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (12)For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness is heavenly places"(NKJV). I think she was wise to go before her church for prayer. Let us not forget to pray for our government leaders and the upcoming elections. I don't know any sensible person who would want demons in the Whitehouse, rather let God's will be done who is perfect and is love. Pick the power you want. And by the way read the end of the Bible if you want to see which power wins in the end.

Lady? This lady does not need any help "hurting" herself!
ALL religion is dangerous, or "evil"!
Just imagine the wonderful, PEACEFUL world we would be living
in if nobody ever "invented" religion! So far, our country has stood strong because of the idea of SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. This crazy lady is NOT the kind of AMERICA we are founded on!
Nothing Video
I am a democrat and there is no way based on the last eight years that I could be talked into voting republican. But this video proves nothing about Sarah Palin. Now the interview she had with Katie Couric, clearly proves she has no clue as to what is going on. But this video shows nothing.
