5. One a friend sent me recently:

Hello dear friends: With only 3weeks before the Presidential election, I felt compelled to share this idea. Together we can do this - and change the world, literally. Here it is:


WHAT TODAYS' MOST SAGE SCIENTISTS ARE SAYING IS THAT WHEN WE FOCUS ON SOMETHING, WE ATTRACT MORE OF IT. SO WITH ONLY FOUR WEEKS LEFT, WE NEED TO FOCUS ON WHAT WE REALLY, REALLY WANT. LET'S JOIN TOGETHER IN THE "60 SECONDS A DAY FOR 3WEEKS CAMPAIGN."

TO TURN THE TIDE NOW, WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING UNSTOPPABLE. WE NEED A CRITICAL MASS OF US TO STOP RAILING AGAINST WHAT IS AND REACH FOR WHAT WE WANT. WHAT DO WE WANT?

We want John Kerry as our next President. Give up focusing on George Bush. We don't have to agree with him or support him in any fashion. Instead, we have to turn our thoughts now to something greater. We have to do something unstoppable. In the legacy of Einstein and all great thinkers, we have to harness the power of our thoughts to get the outcome we desire in November.

PARTICIPATE IN THE "60 SECONDS A DAY FOR 3 WEEKS CAMPAIGN." IF ONLY 3 PERCENT OF THE U.S. POPULATION TAKES 60 SECONDS TO DO THIS EXERCISE EVERY DAY, WE CAN MAKE A MASSIVE DIFFERENCE.

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS: FOR 60 SECONDS EACH DAY visualize John Kerry elected as our next President of the United States. See the relief, the celebrations, the excitement, and the sense of fulfillment all across America. See yourself rejoicing with people in your home, neighborhood, and workplace. See us all rejoicing with people all over the world! See John Kerry being sworn into office. Feel the hope, joy, and gratitude. Feel it in your hearts. Believe it is possible. And be sure to vote!

** Now, imagine John Kerry restoring greater well-being in America.
** See people streaming back to work.
** See young students getting the support they need.
** Visualize our teachers, police officers, single mothers, the mentally ill, and many others getting the help they deserve.
** See our soldiers coming home to their families.
** Imagine our leaders establishing greater trust and good will, earning the respect of other nations.
** See peace spreading across the world.
** See the Iraq conflict ending.
** Feel how good it will be for the environment to be protected and renewed.
** See hope rising across the world in the hearts and souls of those in need.
** See these pictures in your mind for 60 seconds every day between now and November 2.
** Be grateful that you have the gift of participating in shaping a greater country.
** Be grateful that you care. Believe that all this is possible, -and more! Please be sure to vote!

PASS THIS ON TO SIX MORE PEOPLE: "60 SECONDS A DAY FOR 4 WEEKS!"

15. Its ok to be an atheist, my dad was one, its no big deal, but you could

express your feeling in a more polite way. Most dems are either agnostic, atheist, or very very liberal Christians who don't shove their stuff down other people's throats like the fanatical fundamentalists who want a theocracy.

[mcg]

25. Most democrats are believers

I think most democrats are actually much more mainstream religious than a lot of people think. The idea that it's otherwise is based on an illogical conclusion that "atheists etc. tend to be democrats" implies "democrats tend to be atheists etc.". It simply doesn't follow, but this type of illogic is common.

<http://www.beliefnet.com/story/139/story_13948_1.html#cont>

"61 percent of Democrats reporting that they pray daily or more often."

That's DAILY or MORE.

"Another measure of spirituality is whether people believe in life after death. The percentage of people who do believe that and are Republican: 94 percent. The percentage that are Democratic: 92 percent."

Hardly any difference there, the main difference is an church attendence, republicans 51.9% weekly attendence, democrats 37.4%, which isn't really a huge diffence, and weekly attendence is NOT a measure of one's spirituality, ethics, or morality.

I, as a quite liberal democrat, believe in God and life after death. I don't believe in Darwinism, evolution in a very general sense yes, but not Darwinism, and don't think Darwinism should be taught in public schools as if it is scientific fact. I don't think the fossil record supports it. It's better just to present the evidence, what the different beliefs are, and leave it at that, people can believe what they want to. I will not debate this here, there are plenty of other forums to do that.

[endnote]

31. Ok, I pray to

My Donnie Darko Monster Bunny. It's been good to me. I hope it's OK.

[LittleClarkie]

36. I pray

that if God find John Kerry to be a worthy candidate, that he strengthens and supports John in this debate, so that he do his best.

I pray that those watching the debate do so with an open mind and a clear head.

I pray that the better man to be president be revealed for all to see tonight, whoever that man should be (I know who *I* think that is, but it's best not to tell God his business).

I pray that our country be given another chance to pull ourselves away from the brink and redeem our country, so that it will once again reflect values we can be proud of.

Amen.

[Reciprocity]

42. I like it. Done

[Grillydad]

11. Use JK's Prayer (he lifted from Lincoln)

Just pray that we're on God's side. I'm confident that JK can take it from there.

[Cha]

33. That was beautiful at the

Convention..I'll never forget it!

[schultzee]

12. I pray every night at exactly 9 PM that our democracy will remain intact,

our constitution will remain intact, our civil liberities will be restored, and that GW Bush will retire to Crawford Texas.

[Cha]

[seabeyond]

[Vogon_Glory]

20. My Prayer

May God bless and keep the Kerrys and the Edwards safe during this election campaign and may He/She shield them from the temporal actions of those seeking to do evil acts against them.

[aldian159]

23. Matthew 5:6

[DemocracyInaction]

28. "and deliver us from evil"

...an excerpt from the most powerful prayer on earth...the prayer the man from Galilee (sp?) taught us to pray. I think it about covers it. Does it for me.......remember saying it in Paris in Notre Dame a month after the devil was sworn in as president of the US of A. Way early in the morning. One of the first people there in a dark, dark church not yet flooded by people. Most haunting experience in my life in this almost 1,000 year old tribute to faith. I'll never forget it and I've trusted that he will answer. I know he will answer someday and in sometime.

[alcuno]

29. "The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom do I fear?

The Lord is my life's refuge;
of whom am I afraid?
When evildoers come at me to devour my flesh,
These my enemies and foes themselves stumble and fall.
Though an army encamp against me,
my heart does not fear;
Though war be waged against me,
even then do I trust."

Psalm 27, 1-3

[faithnotgreed]

53. beautiful. stunning. john 16:33 is my favorite

be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world

[alcuno]

60. Jesus is courage.

John 14:1

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me."

[Uzybone]

30. I pray

that John Kerry displays the wisdom, wit, character, conviction and ability that has made him the success he is. I pray that the scales fall from more of our countrymen and womens eyes tonight and evil continues to expose itself.

[SeanQ]

32. Bush is a warning from god!

I had this thought walking home from the train tonight. Perhaps B* is a warning from god that we really need to get better organized and take the hypocritical fundamentalists as a serious problem and an insult to god.

I'll be praying for Kerry - not just for us, but for the future of the world. I pray not only for political change, but to put the brakes on conservative Christian fanaticism so we have a change to work on letting people know they are not truly what the word of god is about!
:bounce:

[louis c]

34. God Bless John Kerry

A good a courageous man, both on the battlefield and off.

God bless him for his valor, his courage, his conviction, and his honor.

He is fighting the good fight for all of us. Lord, please, in Your wisdom and might, do not allow evil to triumph, all Your children, brown, red, yellow, black, and white, are begging for Your Divine intervention. We can not do it alone.

Only You know how truly hateful and evil are the men controlling the most powerful government the world has ever known.

Please, dear God in heaven, give us a chance to do your work of restoring peace and justice by guiding Your servant, John Forbes Kerry, tonight as he tries to convince those who evil doers have led astray.

God Bless John Kerry.

[shawmut]

35. Good luck, John, and God bless!

[Native_Iowan]

37. Godspeed John Kerry....

The dearest hopes of thinking Americans and people all over the world are with you tonight

[mzmolly]

38. I like the original prayer someone started here it went something like:

God please let each man show their true colors to the nation so Americans can/will make an educated decision in the coming election.

That prayer "worked" for the first debate quite well. :)

My Prayers, thoughts are with Mr K. and our Nation tonight, let's hope/pray that this is the beginning of the end of the long nightmare also known as "pResident Bush" !

[Was_Immer]

39. God Bless John Kerry tonight

May he be quick and articulate, connect with the American Voter. Be decisive and strong. And may he win hands down, this debate and the election.

God Bless him.

[Jade Fox]

40. Send good energy to Kerry for a minute or so right before the debate....

starts. Even if you don't believe in New Age type stuff!

[progressivebydesign]

41. If there is a God... he's watching over Kerry tonight. n/t

[calimary]

43. Time for another "Memorare" (prayer to the Virgin Mary in desperate

cases. The pressure is killing me.

God bless you, John Kerry - give you a nimble mind and a glib tongue, warmth, reason, and that presidential demeanor. And let bush be bush.

Dare we pray for more smirks?


Whatever the case, I pray for a decisive win for Kerry. An unspinnable win for Kerry. One the worst and most venomous of the pundits can't deny, and the viewing and listening public can't deny, either.

[helpisontheway]

45. May

God bless you John Kerry. May the people sitting at home truly listen to what you have to say with open hearts and minds. Amen.

[Arkana]

44. Good luck, Godspeed,

and may the Force be with you, Senator Kerry. NOW GO GET THAT BUSH BASTARD!

[goodboy]

46. godspeed. (nt)

[Chimpanzee]

47. Please have no mercy

on those that would destroy the world.

AMEN

[ZombieNixon]

49. As I walk beneath the valley

I shall fear no evil
For thanks to King George and his rainbow cabinet
Today murder is legal

I don't know whether to pray to Jesus, Krishna, Jehovah, Buddha, Bob, the Force, or Shank the Blood God, so here's one to all. Come on, lord, just one lighting bolt to Chimpy, that's all I ask!

[DianeG5385]

50. Be strong. Be the leader we need.

Remember, it's not about you it's about our country.

Dear Lord, if ever we needed your blessing on John Kerry it's tonight. It's not okay for the "bad" guys to win this one. I hope that every soul in America listens with hearts and minds OPEN and puts country above party. If they do, we can begin a period of reconciliation after 15 years of bitter division.

[CBHagman]

51. Father Mychal Judge's prayer...

It's something like "Lord, let me meet who you want me to meet, say what you want me to say, and help me stay out of Your way."

[Blue_Roses]

52. I pray for truth

truth--reveal truth--truth

[Renew Deal]

54. I wish Kerry the best.

And if anyone is looking out, please help Kerry.

[RevCheesehead]

55. Thank you for this thread - it's exactly what I'm looking for!

Lord, thousands of people are praying tonight that one candidate or the other would prevail. Tonight, we pray that your peace will prevail throughout our land, and throughout the whole world.

We ask you to bless those who are watching, hoping to find guidance in their choice this year.

We ask that you be with those who cannot watch - especially all our service personnel in Iraq, Afghanistan, and throughout the world.

We ask that the voices of the poor, the disenfranchised, the lonely, the frightened, and others left behind may be heard tonight. Offer all of us a bright vision of the future, where peace may reign, and your kingdom of love may come to all on earth.

Amen.

[Duncan Grant]

56. Get thee behind me, Satan! eom

[Tatiana]

57. God Bless Kerry tonight and the rest of America.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." (Mt 5.3-12)

[bobbieinok]

58. Lord God

May the candidates be seen for who they truly are.

May the pundits see your truth in this election.

May all the voters see your truth in this election.

May Kerry and Bush reveal themselves clearly and unambiguously.

Protect and guide Kerry and Edwards and their families and all those who stand for truth and justice and freedom.
