“Have you ever looked towards the Heavens and asked GOD for a sign ?”

‘Tis the season for being super generous and I know you’re looking for that one gift that no one else would ever think to give in a million years.  And I bet as soon as your eyes landed on this you lit up like a big ol’ christmas tree.  That’s how it always starts…. Sure, you’ll never forget the look on that special someone’s face when you give them a Spiritual Experience, now available on ebay for just $20!

But you absolutely must remember that the look of shock and awe isn’t always a good sign…

So, unless you want your gift receiver to quote this line: “My friends bought me a Spiritual Experience for Christmas and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.” Do not buy them a Spiritual Experience on Ebay… I know it’s tempting beyond belief (pun intended), but just don’t.

Please.

I don’t understand how half truths and outright lies can become absolute facts for some people. If felt like the email below –copied from urbanlegends.about.com– was being read to me, and by someone who believed it.

The thing that worried me the most, is that the people believing it aren’t just mountain dew guzzling, skoal loving, nascar watching rednecks. Intelligent, educated people buy into all of this too.

Subject:Fwd: Be careful, be very careful.

Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama Sr. (black muslim) of Nyangoma-Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya, and Ann Dunham of Wichita, Kansas. (white atheist ).

When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced and his father returned to Kenya. His mother married Lolo Soetoro — a Muslim — moving to Jakarta with Obama when he was six years old. Within six months he had learned to speak the Indonesian language. Obama spent “two years in a Muslim school, then two more in a Catholic school” in Jakarta. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim while admitting that he was once a Muslim, mitigating that damning information by saying that, for two years, he also attended a Catholic school.

Obama’s father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was a radical Muslim who migrated from Kenya to Jakarta, Indonesia. He met Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham-a white atheist from Wichita, Kansas-at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Obama, Sr. and Dunham divorced when Barack, Jr. was two.

Obama’s spinmeisters are now attempting to make it appear that Obama’s introduction to Islam came from his father and that influence was temporary at best.

In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya immediately following the divorce and never again had any direct influence over his son’s education.

Dunham married another Muslim, Lolo Soetoro who educated his stepson as a good Muslim by enrolling him in one of Jakarta’s Wahabbi schools. Wahabbism is the radical teaching that created the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad on the industrialized world.

Since it is politically expedient to be a Christian when you are seeking political office in the United States, Obama joined the United Church of Christ to help purge any notion that he is still a Muslim.
