Nothing Will Ever Be the Same with Barack Obama
http://bobmccarty.com/ 2008/ 10/ 08/ nothing-will-ever-be-the-same-with-barack-o…Click to enlarge.

http://thefiresidepost.com/ 2008/ 09/ 17/ mccain-my-friends-trust-me/McCain wants the people to trust him. We are nauseated every time we hear McCain use the term ‘my friends,’ he wears it out.

Organized Religion
http://gnmparents.com/ organized-religion/Our kids don’t have religion. Specifically, while my wife and I are practicing Jews, we have not pressed our children to accompany us on our spiritual path.

Sunday’s Thoughts: Going To Church
http://www.themarvalusview.com/ 2008/ 06/ 08/ sundays-thoughts-going-to-church/Lord forgive me…but I don’t have a church home. I haven’t had a church home for quite a while and I must say that I am disgusted and utterly turned off by organized religion. It is this stomach turning ilk that keeps me away from the fellowship that church offers, and that may be a sin…it is a conflict that greets me and rides my mind like you wouldn’t believe.
