McCain: Strange Agent
2008-06-09 12:56:00 Conservative Repub Bill Kristol wringing his hands in today's NYT: "They could have done so well tonight, shown a tone of confidence. Instead it looks like a bad Congressional race: dumb green puke background, small crowd ... Makes me want to cry.? Soon after Republicans finished shedding tears of frustration, Democrats were weeping tears of joy. Obama spoke about an hour later in a packed sports arena in St. Paul, Minn. His speech was well written and well delivered. In any case, with the battle against Hillary Clinton behind him, everything seems to be going swimmingly for Obama. Meanwhile, the McCain campaign dog-paddles along. And almost every Republican I?ve talked to is alarmed that the McCain campaign doesn?t seem up to the task of electing John McCain.Relax, Bill. That's McCain under the blanket...

Ubuntu 8.04 Beta ? performing a networking exorcism
2008-04-01 10:16:00 I've already written most of my Ubuntu 8.04 beta review, which I'm holding onto for the time being. I don't usually run -- or review -- beta releases, but this time I'm making an exception because a) most Ubuntu releases are hotly anticipated and b) Ubuntu's second-ever long-term-support release is a huge deal for me as a big fan of releases that have lives longer than the standard six months to a year. I ran into a problem starting Friday. I couldn't get any updates from the Update Manager. I then ran Firefox and discovered that my networking was dead. I hadn't changed anything, but I couldn't even ping anything on the local network. I checked my static IP information in Network Settings. It all looked fine.

Exorcism and “casting out” are ineffective because they are not perform
2008-02-29 17:47:00 These two traditional and widely used methods provide only short-term relief for those who are chronically ill due to spiritual oppression. This is as a result of two things: The first is a buildup of bondage around the soul which provides the “nest” which spirits require in order to dwell inside the major body cavities and second, penetration into these spaces occur when sins have stacked up sufficiently, creating dark access points which allow spirits to enter. Some people will experience cranial penetration which brings with it neck stiffness, headaches, migraines and feelings of heaviness in the head. Very often the afflicted person will suffer from vivid and colourful dreams, hallucinations, psychic breaks, auditory noises and voices in the head and delusional visions which are presented both at night or during the day. Demonic penetration into the abdominal cavity creates a feeling of bloating which is likely to be medically diagnosed as IBS, spastic colon including a...

New course in exorcism at the Vatican's university
2008-01-07 17:29:00 More on Darth Ratzinger's new apprentices... Paolo Scarafoni, a priest at Regina Apostolorum, the Vatican's university, told Italian news agency ANSA the institution will offer a new course in exorcism to help ease the shortage of priests who are trained to administer the appropriate rites. "Priests are being bombarded with requests [for exorcisms]," he said. Scarafoni teaches priests how to recognise and expel Satan. He told the agency that Satanic cults were making inroads in Italian society. ... Regina Apostolorum provides 10-week courses for priests who want to learn how to conduct exorcisms. It includes sessions on rites, how to talk to the Devil, and how to recognise the tricks he uses. Students also attend psychology classes to help them distinguish between genuine cases of possession and mental illnesses such as schizophrenia.

Exorcism Centre To Open in Poland
2008-01-01 14:00:00 After receiving approval from the Catholic Church, a new centre is scheduled to be opened in the Polish town of Poczernin near the German border to provide exorcisms for those believing themselves to be possessed.

Father Trojanowski is reported to have dealt with twenty cases a week in his former position. While there are currently fifty exorcists operating in Poland, the centre will be the first of its kind in that country. The new centre is also expected to draw potential clients from Germany due to the lack of exorcists in that country. Reports indicate that the centre will be built as a retreat house with a chapel, guest rooms and clinical facilities for the psychiatrist who has been working with Father Trojanowski. After a long decline throughout most of the twentieth century, demand for exorcisms began to make a comeback in t...

Well in the US, Americans dont really care about the meanings of their holidays. The purpose of many holidays are turned into commercial opportunities to make sales and increase spending. Americans will be spending a ridiculous amount on Halloween. According to some analysts, Halloween generates over 7 Billion in retail sales. With the average household spending $20 bucks on candy and up to $40 for costumes. Some people even get costumes for their pets!

It is not because of some arcane religious belief, but that there is no need for kids to get all dressed up as monsters. Islam does not prohibit ...
