Dear Believer
by Dan Barker Dear Believer, — You asked me to consider Christianity as the answer for my life. I have done that. I consider it untrue, repugnant, and harmful. You expect me to believe Jesus was born of a virgin impregnated by a ghost? Do you believe all the crazy tales of ancient religions? Julius Caesar was reportedly born of a virgin; Roman historian Seutonius said Augustus bodily rose to heaven when he died; and Buddha was supposedly born speaking. You don’t believe all that, do you? Why do you expect me to swallow the fables of Christianity? I find it incredible that you ask me to believe that the earth was created in six literal days; women come from a man’s rib; a snake, a donkey, and a burning bush spoke human language; the entire world was flooded, covering the mountains to drown evil; all animal species, millions of them, rode on one boat; language variations stem from the tower of Babel; Moses had a magic wand; the Nile turned to blood; a stick turned into a snake; witches, ...

He's already raping that little girl with pure sexual lust in his eyes.
Just imagine, Hillary.....oh jeez, can you blame the poor fool? I'd rather have sex with a Komoda Dragon.
Of course when they walk out of that room they go back to killing each other again.
I wonder how many of those kids have been shot dead by now? or just bulldozed.
the christians must be here.

Anyway, at least some people have 'imagination'.
The children are innocent, and it is then that they are able to make the right choices, the right goals to change the world. The world that they will be the changing force in, when they become adults.
War isn't necessary. Not over money, or religion, or oil, or revenge. None of it.
&I think it's really good that they joined in peace, even with Bill Clinton, as shown in this forum, one of the most disliked men in the world, to show peace and forgiveness, and hope for all.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
I donno, maybe I'm just naive, but I really thought this was a great idea.

I agree with you. It's a perfect song, if only they would actually listen to it.
They clap when she first sings "Imagine there's no heaven", and I think "wow, maybe there's some hope for that place after all" ...but then I realise it was just for the sight of Bill Clinton.
My 'negative' comments were at the hypocrisy of the leaders present - there was no hatred in it on my part (well maybe just a bit for Sharon, the Butcher of Lebanon).
You're right that the future generations are the only hope for the 'holy' land but it's frustrating to know that they are being subjected to the same violence as the current generation grew up with, and resentments will only build.
I know the kids in that clip are innocent, the event just reeks of political feel-good bullcrap though.
2. Bill Clinton didn't even know the words to the song. Either that, or he felt awkward about the possiblity of pissing off the religious right whom he may need in the future.
3. The fact that she announced the separating titles of the groups of children makes this look like a joke. Not only that, but she was sure to annouce the "Jewish children" first.
4. That very song goes completely against the religious texts of all of the children involved. Quite laughable, actually. Especially considering the Jewish texts. I don't know much about the Arabic texts.
5. He did want to do her.
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF HUMANITY!!!
TO LOOK BEYOND POLITICAL BULLSHIT AND SEE SOMETHING SPECIAL AND BEAUTIFUL IS SOMETHING SPECIAL.I HOPE THE PEOPLE THAT LIST THERE CAN TAKE ANOTHER LOOK!! RICHIE!
