Giuliani Draws Lightning From Above

By
Dan Collins
(CBS)  Rudy Giuliani starred in a moment of humor at the GOP presidential debate on Tuesday night. As Giuliani began to talk about abortion, lightning intermittently disrupted the sound system in the debate hall. Two other candidates quietly backed away from the former New York mayor.

The Republican frontrunner was asked to comment on a Rhode Island Catholic bishop who had criticized him for supporting abortion rights. But when Giuliani began to answer, the heavens responded with lightning.

Giuliani looked skyward.

"Look, for someone who went to parochial schools all his life, this is a very frightening thing that's happening right now," he said to laughter.

Meanwhile, Mitt Romney and John McCain, the GOP presidential candidates flanking Giuliani on the stage, slowly and quietly backed away from Giuliani.

I agree with you in that this group is like the KKK or worse and should be all locked up. But don't make a comfortable association between this group and the vast majority of *** and lesbians. The fact remains that pedophilia is still committed by mostly straight men even for boys. Good research consistently shows this. It is a societal problem that we cannot peg on any one outside group. It is a result of commodification of the human body as well as patriarchy and violence.

Thank you for the candor. Well spoken. I agree. I just find fault with the blanket assumptions of some people who find it necessary to denigrate people of faith without distinction. I also agree with your explanation of NAMbLA. They are a treachous group and anyone with a sense of decency would certainly see to it that this organization is permanently put out of business if they are not already.

The preachers who molest children are pedophiles, not g*ays , no matter what gender they or their victims are.

Oh, I half buy your argument as there are many gay preachers. too. Also don't forget NAMbLA (North American Man Boy Love Association) an offshoot of the Gay Liberation movement that advocates sexual relations between men and boys, not all willing young children. Grant it there are some pretty sick people in religious communities that deserve to spend time behind bars, but there are also many good people doing God's work, too. Reconcile yourself to the fact that there are good and bad people in all walks of life. We don't need you to point of hypocrisy.

Doesn't seem that you're quite an atheist with this statement. I'm still looking for an atheist to give me an answer as to how life sprung from non-life millions of years ago for no reason and no purpose, with absolutely nothing behind it.
If you want to discuss this ,I'd be happy to. Here's my email:

God Bless.

-You now suffering of Alzheimer, or maybe mental confusion or maybe both!... I never said I'm atheist, my friend. I always said thatHumans are the centerpiece of the Creation. Humans are the results of millions years of trial and errors. The successful formulas survived, by the wish of the Creator who elected the natural evolution mecanisms to perform His creation.

Don't worry the formulas are not perfect yet. We still need a long time to go, before perfection. We still have the crippled, the debilitated, the retards and the fairytale believers because like the Autistic, they just see themself without interacting with the rest of the world. They're just at a certain level of intelligence, rather dimm... Without prejudice, wink, wink.

grazinggoat/singinrick/mudrose/RandalDS,

Christ also said"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Not do unto others as they have done unto you.

My faith in the message of Christ is reaffirmed by all of you.

I guess Thor is mad at Guilani.


Sure puts in context, and explains the prehistoric days, when scary things like thunder were considered gods.

can't help it your lost grazin', that's all on you pal!

I will say thank you for your insults.

Jesus said "Remember, when the world hates you, that it hated Me first".

So thank you Grazin! You affirm my faith so well!

-So happy I've affirmed your faith, at least The Creator will compensate me somehow. But U little fairytale believers have not succeeded to impress me at all and I'm still looking for the true Creation facts and our why of existance on Earth and in the Universe. Not the magic-stick creation on Earth...
