    Religion and spirituality is a personal matter. It does not belong in partisan politics. No one should tell anyone else what to believe, who to believe in, how to believe , or if to believe or if to pray or not to pray.
    In other words do not tell me to believe.

    I survived as an inmate in a Catholic grammar school. Lucky I got an early release for bad behavior.

    If 87% of Americans believe in God, that means most Democrats are believers. Can you stop with your propaganda?

    “The world will be more secure, stable, and peaceful when all people are able to reach their God-given potential and live in freedom and dignity.”

    Any idea where the above quote came from?

    Responding by trashing Democrats for being nonbelievers when that's not true?

    I have a friend who was in the hospital ICU this past Christmas with a severe heart problem. He had been on oxygen for a year before. Everyone in my Church got 10 people to pray for him, he recovered completely with no medical intervention and no more oxygen either. You can believe what you want. But if you're right we both end up in the same place, if I'm right we end up in very different places and I wouldn't want to be you.

    It is currently three weeks after his being admitted to the hospital for Covid 19 and still no update on Herman Caine's progress. Why did the media go silent on this?

    When they get you on a ventilator and a fentanyl drip you will not generate any more "news" until the coroner releases his report.

    For all we know, you might be right. There are so many layers as to why this media silence is so disturbing. Its more about the media blackout than the story itself. Herman Caine is such a staunch Trump supporter that one would imagine they would have Trump acknowledge his progress or lack of progress publicly but of course if Caine is not on the road to recovery, his being at Trump's Oklahoma rally and without a mask will be negative press for Trump. Very curious.

    Patients on ventilators cannot push the "Help" button, and their families cannot visit them to monitor their care.

    "The Associated Press reported on Wednesday that New York City officials said 80% of patients on ventilators there had died."
    BUSINESS INSIDER, Coronavirus patients are dying on ventilators. It's leading to a debate over the best way to get oxygen into their damaged lungs., By Lydia Ramsey Apr 10, 2020.

    He may have said it. But it’s from the Democratic Party Platform. Maybe they plagiarized Lewis. :)

    I think praying gives believers strength. I never voted for nor agreed with him on much but I hope he pulls through. I hope he will be more sympathetic to other sick people when that happens and maybe even less supportive of the President whose fault it was he got sick.

    I stand by my statements as I pointed out the incredible irony of pleading with an invisible entity to heal someone of an ailment that the invisible entity allowed them to contract in the first place.

    The quote is attributed to Lewis.
    Do you think Lewis plagiarized if from a DP Platform?

    Either way, It should not be the public platform of any representative to take for granted that all people attribute their potential to a god.

    Good question. I’ve been using it for quite a while in the context I did in this thread. It’s in some state Democratic platforms as well I believe. I’m guessing the party plagiarized Lewis. That kind of religious overtone is from a bygone Democratic era.
