...A perfectly good being brings about as much good as possible, and eliminates/prevents any evil, so long as the elimination of that evil does not thereby&nbsp; prevent a greater good or cause a greater evil.&nbsp; 


...They claim not that evil is logically incompatible with the existence of an omnipotent, perfectly good God, but that the existence of evil, at least certain types of evil (such as the earthquake in Haiti) is evidence that there is no omnipotent, perfectly good God.

...If each man and woman has an "essence" whereby they derive their identity i.e. personality, looks, demeanor, mannerisms, preferences, etc. why is it that their Creator (according to spiritual relativism) is stripped of all unique features and the essence by which He derives his

...Baptism for the dead, vicarious baptism or proxy baptism is a religious practice of baptising a living person on behalf of an individual who is dead; the living person is acting as the deceased person&rsquo;s proxy. 

...The baptism ritual is as follows: after calling the living proxy by name, the person performing the baptism says, &ldquo;Having been commissioned of Jesus Christ, I baptize you for and in behalf of [full name of deceased person], who is dead, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Haitian Government Makes Pact With Satan</title><dc:creator>Truthforsaints.com</dc:creator><category>World Religions</category><category>Cults</category><dc:date>2010-01-12T22:12:05-08:00</dc:date><link>http://www.truthforsaints.com/Truth_Belief_Blog/files/7fc95c5b87a6bdc6783642f91c39495e-0.html#unique-entry-id-0</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.truthforsaints.com/Truth_Belief_Blog/files/7fc95c5b87a6bdc6783642f91c39495e-0.html#unique-entry-id-0</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The Media Research Center (see link below), which describes Aristide as a &lsquo;charismatic Marxist priest&rsquo; had this to say about the man: &rsquo;Aristide wasn&rsquo;t much of a Democrat, paying people to beat up his opponents, and becoming wealthy from drug trafficking into the U.S. 

...Democrat almost-nominee John Kerry spoke out in support of Aristide prior to his resignation, saying &acirc;&euro;&oelig;This democracy is going to be sustained.&acirc;&euro; Democrat Charlie Rangel and the Congressional Black Caucus, along with such upstanding citizens as &acirc;&euro;&oelig;Reverend&acirc;&euro; Jesses Jackson and Alcee Hastings (the former federal judge convicted of bribery), have been calling for the US to once again install Aristide in power following his recent resignation.
