a la The Running Man? LOL
You're not bugging me at all, so don't be concerned with that. I tried googling "Obama's new world order", but I only got 1 option on the right side (The sponsored links listing, correct?), and it's entitled "The Obama Deception". I'm not sure if the one that you mentioned has been removed, or if it's because I ran the google query while at work (We have automatic SafeSearch filtering there), but I'll keep looking for it and try googling it when I get home this afternoon. Please let me know if you find any other links to it.
You are absolutely correct. There are bad apples in every group. Too many are quick to pass judgment on all of religion because of a minority of extreme fundamentalists. However, there are secular fundamentalists as well. Therefore, the problem is not religion or secularism, but rather fundamentalism itself. People just need to accept that others are entitled to opinions and beliefs that differ from their own and need to tolerate those opinions (Providing that those beliefs do not inflict harm upon others). I am deeply sorry to hear about your mother's passing. My own mother experienced a similar premonition at the time of my grandmother's death.
I don't know for sure, but I would think that disabled people who are wheelchair-bound, would probably not only have to pay more for a flight, but would also have more trouble booking a flight, as they would need to find a carrier that has a plane that is able to accomodate a wheelchair, that is scheduled to fly to their chosen destination. I would be interested in hearing from any participants that work for an airline on this, that has knowledge on booking rates for wheelchair-bound passengers.
I would have to say that children are a bit of a different scenario than overweight people. Please try not to take offense, because that's not my intention, but while childrens' body mass may not spill over into the adjacent seats, they can be an equal or even greater inconvenience to the other passengers, and therefore the airline, in terms of noise, and the inability to adhere to the etiquette of airline travel. Look, I'm the father of two small children myself, and I realize that 2+ hours of sitting in a small, confined seat can be quite difficult for kids, because well, they're kids. My wife and I have decided against flying with our children until they are a bit older for exactly that reason. Your children might be very well behaved on a plane, but adults aren't given a "good behavior" discount on flights either.
I refuse to fly with United anymore because of an experience unrelated to this topic, but I also agree that this is a good idea. If your body takes up more space than the single seat allows, then you should pay for an additional seat. It's just that easy and it's not an outrageous concept. It's not as if you're being forced to fly. You also have the choice to try and find an airline that offers more accomodating seat space. If such an airline doesn't exist, then it's your tough luck. You're not entitled to the perfect airline experience. If you don't care for the service that you receive, then you don't patronize that carrier any more and you spread the word to your friends. Trust me, the airlines are feeling the effects of their sliding quality of service right in their back pockets and have been for some time.
I'm glad that you are indeed more enlightened than to see all Muslims as being corrupted by the evil one. I see your point. It stands to reason that the ones who have had their faith twisted would fall in with the Antichrist. I think that the Antichrist will deceive a lot of people by a myriad of means. I think we share quite a few of the same beliefs, so I don't see it as you pushing beliefs on me. I think we're past the point of that particular worry, you and I. :-) I'll take a look at the website you've mentioned.
The color of one's skin or their heritage has no bearing on whether or not I like them. If I said something that gave you the impression that I dislike black people, I would be interested to know what it was, as this was not my intent at all. I believe that the Antichrist is going to be a very real part of the sequence of end-time events, but I am not prepared to identify President Obama as the antichrist, although I have compared him to the biblical description of the Antichrist, just as I have Ex-President Bush, and various other people of influence. Please don't think that I am calling you a liar, or trying to make light of your gift. I simply don't have enough evidence to discern whether the Antichrist walks among us, or to his/her identity. I am also not prepared to condemn Muslims as the followers of the Antichrist, although I am certain that the religious fundamentalists that carry out violence in the name of God have had their faith twisted and corrupted by Satan. I would be highly interested in hearing about the research that you have done to reach these conclusions. I promise not to be offended.
In regards to Spiritual Gifts, I accept the possibility and probability that there are those that have such gifts, and I think that it coincides with prophecy as well. I would be interested in hearing the story of your experiences with the Word of Knowledge. I found the Wikipedia article that you mentioned, and I will continue to analyze it, as I find it to be deeply interesting.
What do I honestly think of President Obama? I think that he is very charismatic, and I believe that he has the good intention of changing the country for the better, but I also think that he is naive and out-of touch with reality, in his stances on various issues (as many leftists are), and lacks the experience to handle the daunting challenges that his administration needs to address in the coming years. I don't believe that he is an evil man, or intends to do America harm, but I am concerned that he will inadvertently cause harm by way of his chosen policies, possibly to an irrepairable degree. One thing about President Obama that I couldn't care less about is his race. Don't get me wrong, the election of America's first African-American is a very noteworthy event. However, aside from a few unwanted, fringe, screw-loose, racist groups that choose to associate themselves with the right, I am convinced that the left places far more unhealthy emphasis on race than the right does.
