Hmmmm... He's certainly had more than two weeks "vacation" by now - his last post was Dec. 12th. Maybe he's chosen to stay out this time. [Hey, oatie: he didn't get like perma-banned or anything, did he? He is staying out of his own free will, right?]

Oh well, we'll continue quite well without him, I'm sure. Someone new is sure to step in and fill that void in our secularist-lefty-satan-worshiping lives. God knows there are enough of 'em out there...

No, he had a month off this time.  (See "The Banned" in Forum Forum Forum" for the full list of people who are currently temp-banned.  That's locked, so it's "Banned Topic" if you want to talk about it.)

Answer to Schnicky's serious question:

(1) God DOES sometimes talk to people, directly to their minds (inspiration) or indirectly through dreams or messengers (angels) who may momentarily be inhabiting human forms -- real people you know (especially children or those nearest to death) or sometimes strangers. 

(2) When God does speak to you, there is absolutely no way to know if it really is God or just the possibility of God, no matter how profound your feeling of certainty. That's where intelligence and free will come in. You gotta evaluate the message itself, not the messenger. If the message is creative, it's probably God-inspired. If it's destructive, it's more likely not, since God is good.

(3) If the one who thinks God is speaking to him happens to be a person who approves of and executes the death penalty (pun intended), gives tax breaks to the rich, allows innocent people to die in an attack that he gleefully refers to as "Shock and Awe", who feels no problem in committing genocide, who also thinks he's got the message directly from Heaven and, finally, who comes from a family of rich megalomaniacal bitches, you must conclude it's self delusion, not the voice of God, that he hears. Bush is the Prince of War.

Woahhh! It's a darn good thing Campy isn't around, he'd be raking you over the coals like nobody's business. That's a GOD you're dissing there, lady! (And when I say "GOD" here, I'm of course talking about The Holy Bush What Is Divine And Pure.)

Are you kidding?  I'm almost sorry he's not here.  I'd like to see the sparks fly.

Bush says that God talks to him because he knows that 60 percent of voting Americans consider it possible, just as comprehensive surveys have shown that about 40 percent of the American public believes the Holy Bible to be historically accurate.

If you have an idea and you want to scare someone away from questioning it, you say its God's idea. Because you know what they do to people who disagree with God.

Good lord, just under 2 months is one thing.
2 years quite another.
