Some of the results may solidify your earlier belief, some might cause a bit of confusion.</p> <p>Let us proceed.</p> rss@dailykos.com (SaintPeter) 2008 Barack Obama BarackObama Hillary Clinton HillaryClinton John Edwards JohnEdwards _456094 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 20:33:08 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/2/2/448177/-Barack-Obama-and-the-Curse-of-the-Keynote-Speech <p>In 2004, Barack Obama gave an absolutely stunning keynote speech at the Democratic Convention, one that many people believed would carry him into greater success in the future, in other words, the presidency. However, as a history major, I tend to try and look back and see how the past has worked, because as we all know, history has that darn trend of repeating itself.</p> <p>After looking back recently into all of the keynote speakers from the 1900 Democratic National Convention to Barack Obama, I noticed a few things. The most important of which is the completely failure of keynote speakers when it comes to winning the presidency. Before I go on, let me mention under full disclosure that I am an Edwards supporter, who plans on voting for Obama now, but with recent events, I am back into the undecided field. However, as I am about to prove, the past seems to want Clinton to win.</p> <p>So below, let us review the curse, and then lets see how exactly Barack Obama fits into this.</p> <p>Also, a note to Edwards supports who want him to get the Attorney General Spot, and then become President later. NO Attorney General has ever gone onto the presidency.</p> rss@dailykos.com (SaintPeter) AnnRichards Barack Obama BarackObama BarbaraJordan BillBradley Democrats EvanBayh HaroldFordJr Hillary Clinton HillaryClinton John Edwards JohnEdwards JohnGlenn Primary TedKennedy ZelMiller _448177 Sat, 02 Feb 2008 09:12:16 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/1/29/444583/-Debunking-the-Atheist-Myths-Religion-in-the-News-Vol-IV <p>This will be a pretty simple diary, that I hope everyone takes a sincere look at. It will be an attempt to confront many of the myths the religious and non-religious alike think about when they hear the term atheist. I will try to make it obvious that we are not Satan's minions, so to speak, and that we are actually quite nice people in general.</p> <p>So please, I encourage all of you to take a look, and even if you decided you are too lazy or stubborn to read it, at least answer the poll question, so I can get a better knowledge of just how untrustworthy Atheists are.</p> rss@dailykos.com (SaintPeter) Agnostic Atheist Christian ChristianNation Myth Religion ReligionintheNews SovietUnion Trust _444583 Tue, 29 Jan 2008 10:32:24 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/1/26/442799/--Why-Religion-Matters-Religion-in-the-News-Vol-III <p>Starting Note: Whether you completely agree or complete reject me, please read the entire article before speaking in the comments, thanks.</p> <p>I was reading through an online copy of the Seattle Post Intelligencer when I stumbled upon an article that really got my nerves going. It is part of a series of Articles, specifically titled, <a href="http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/348816_faith26.html">'Religion is an integral part of the total scheme of things'</a>.</p> <p>This article says many things that MANY people in the pro-religion crowd usually like to shout, and are things that, when discussed, can easily be refuted. So here is my brief attempt to completely shatter the theory of the writer of this article, enjoy.</p> rss@dailykos.com (SaintPeter) Atheism God JesusChrist JohnStossel Morals News Religion Rescued Seattle Post Intelligencer SeattlePostIntelligencer _442799 Sat, 26 Jan 2008 10:42:24 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/1/24/442173/-Religion-in-the-News-Volume-II-The-10-Huckamandments <p>In a slightly different style than the first diary I had written, it is now time to examine a few different religious news stories at once. Complicated, I know, but I think we can handle this.</p> <p>I'm sure most of us here are familiar with the 10 commandments as indicated in a few holy works, but did you know that our favorite religious candidate, Mike Huckabee, has edited these commandments and created his own? No? Well then let me explain by going over this new list.</p> <p>Important Note: This is based off of the Anglican version of the 10 commandments, same ideas, just basically different numbers. And you don't have to say it in the comments, this is a bit of a hit (in a fun way though).</p> rss@dailykos.com (SaintPeter) Election George W.

I am a student at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and was born and raised in the great state of Ohio as well. I was also raised a catholic, went to catholic school, but faced a turning point in my life when I realized that everything I was worshiping and following was completely, to put it gently, bogus.</p> <p>So, to the point of my diaries. Not enough time is spent on this website talking about religion and its inherent consequences, so I've recently decided to join and do a daily (as that is all I am allowed) item on a religious story from that day, so here goes.</p> rss@dailykos.com (SaintPeter) Afghanistan ChristopherHitchens DeathSentence Freedom Guantanamo Islam Religion Rescued RichardDawkins Taliban _441574 Wed, 23 Jan 2008 10:49:56 +0000
