mabell's Blog

I've never heard that a Beagle was nearly chosen to represent our nation. That's news to me. Where did you get that information?? I wish I had the article that reminds us how the average brain can read a sentence without any vowels added. It is very interesting. It would really blow your mind mpvan. I also had a typing test one time that we had to do without using vowels, yet you knew the content of what the test paragraph was as you typed it! That was one of the hardest tests I had to take - - for a prestigious company I was applying for a job with!

mpvan, I have to give you credit for upholding your ever present skepticism. You can always be counted on to poo poo just about anything. Were you born that way or is it an acquired trait?

Ha, years and years of reality, plus watching things like: America's funniest home video's, nightly news, cnn.com you name it--people are funny and will say and believe ANYTHING. They tend to go with rumors over fact, and seem to spend absolutely no time researching much. "I heard......and then passing it off as fact is a favorite of mine. The internet is great but perpetuates these kinds of things, so does digital photography.

Thought the cops were your friends....why all the police misconduct lately? Or is it just as much and everyone has a cell phone camera?

The priests and their altar boy thing going on, and the payoffs involved....priceless! I mean literally...priceless. Not a MC plug!

Just remember...Think of how stupid the average person is...and half of them are stupider than that! Thanx, George C

Mabell thanks for sharing. Although some may mock this blog, in a time of great turmoil I find it of comfort. Yes... I believe in God unconditionally. I follow blind because that is what faith is to me. But can you believe this... I can also belive in evolution for it does not state how long Gods seven days were nor exactly how he created man. Oh sorry Maball, started rambling.

But really, how can anyone not at least read the history of Iraq and not find it fascinating? Or is it just the fact it comes from the bible, that people even care to mock it? Your right to do so, however as I will not change your mind, nor will I in my belief in God.

BTW- God Bless America and Joe to... just for mvpan. (that was in jest not a crude remark just my dry humor)

No offense mabell, but I'm never amazed at what people will take at face value.

Your post is actually a chain letter that has been circulating for a short while.

Please go to and read the info at this website;

As for faith, I believe that everyone should have faith in something, just not blind faith.

As far as the quote "And there
was peace." could you please show me somewhere in Iraq that there is peace?

I too wish that there could be a peaceful outcome in the Iraq war.

Generally speaking, I believe that there will be religious wars until there is either no religion or no people left to fight each other.

Specifically speaking, we (Americans) will win nothing in this war. All we are doing now is policing a civil war. I have watched a couple of documentaries and talked to a couple of people that have returned. The Iraqi military are very reluctant to fire on their own people. This war will end worse than the Vietnam war did, if it will ever end at all.

My biggest fear is that one of my children, grand-children, or worse yet, one of my great grand-children will lose their life in the middle east on the premise of protecting American interests over there.

Well that's my opinion. Thanks for the opportunity to give it here.

Mabell Stupider is a direct quote from George C, it is not my word but it fits.

"God Bless America" contradicts God's teachings of divine judgement of nations. It is blasphemous to say. It implies God has chosen America over other nations as his favorite, when we all know she is in the UK saving the Queen.

Why would God choose all these nations to bless when there are over 200 others. Favoritism? Self indulgence...etc.

See my blog post, that Fox 4 won't publish, about God Bless America.

Stephenthe Heathen, the bible tells us there will be wars and rumors of wars. There's also a scripture that reads about holy wars will exist until Jesus returns to claim His own. About "blind faith". Christians do believe in blind faith. We can't see it, but we just know. You feel it in your heart. We can't see "air" but we believe in it and we need it. That's the way Christians feel about Jesus Christ. God bless.

Stephen- I am curious. What should people research about religion? I fully understand not every faith is for everybody. It matters not to me what faith or non faith someone is. Everyone is different.

But everything does not have to have a scientifical explanation... for everyone and that is where in my opiniom faith comes in.

May I ask also; everytime you get in a car do you not have an assumption you will not die in a wreck? Is this not in some way a blind faith? Because if you knew you were going to be killed would you still get in that car? Its not a proven fact you won't die but you do it anyway.... why?

Stephen- I think you know I do not parade my religion and expect others to believe. I even have debated what some would consider agianst my faith. I do not find it fair others throw their religion in someone's face like if you do not believe the way I do your a moron. To each their own.

I do not look for scientific reasoning in my religion. Thats just me. I do not find it wrong. I have studied other religions and perhaps of my background will not change, BUT I do not condem others for the faith or non.

As for the reason you drive, point taken.

As always I appreciate we can differ in opinion and not get nasty. That is what makes a good debate.
