I am sure there are some more of the freshman class who are honest people.

I didn't really like my man when he represented me in the state legislature but sure do now.

I, for one, don't believe you have really analyzed your own statements for truth. Either that, or you just don't vote at all.
I think you are trying to talk sense to an atheist and it just won't work.

Why?

America is a very religious country. Upwards of 90% of us believe in God.

He must be close friends with the Governor of Oklahoma, who just asked residents of that state to pray for rain.

How many believe God actually micromanages what happens on earth? Does he just toss off a tsunami when he gets a little bored? Send airplanes into buildings when he thinks we're getting a bit rambunctious? Send a town destroying tornado just to see what'll happen? There's a huge difference between believing in the existence of God and believing everything, big or small, that occurs is his work.

Why do children mock people that they disagree with? How immature.

I think the Bible says somewhere that even satan believes in God.

So if that's true, then it's not just enough to believe. Aisi.
