Here are some of the more captivating threads popping up in our forums. Check them out and add your own insight:
\nObama and JFK:<\/strong>
\nhttp:\/\/community.beliefnet.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=7664
\n“Obama is, and Kennedy was, good-looking, very masculine, a gifted speaker, charismatic, and very much an alpha-dog personality. The problem with both of them is that the one speaks, and the other spoke, mostly in platitudes and generalizations. I haven’t heard Obama say anything outside of “audacity of hope” type pronouncements…You know, when we vote for candidates for office, it’s not the same as choosing our favorite movie stars and pop singers. But ever since Kennedy, then Reagan, then Schwarzenegger, and now Obama popped up on the scene, it’s harder to tell the difference.”
\nMultifaith Forum – Responsibility for Enlightening Others of One’s Faith: <\/strong>
\nhttp:\/\/community.beliefnet.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=6251

\nScience & Religion – God got bored:<\/strong>
\nhttp:\/\/community.beliefnet.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=7656
\n“I say God got bored of knowing everything, so he challenged himself. Can I create a world, an indeterminate universe, such that I can’t know everything that will happen? Sort of a twist on the old question, can God make a rock so big that he can’t lift it?…God does indeed play dice with the universe.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
