God not so dead: Atheism
in decline worldwide

BUT IS ATHEISM ALIVE AND WELL IN PINELLAS CO., FL?

Gurat, France – There seems to be a growing consensus around the globe that godlessness is in trouble.

"Atheism as a theoretical position is in decline worldwide," Munich theologian Wolfhart Pannenberg told United Press International Tuesday.

His Oxford colleague Alister McGrath agrees. Atheism's "future seems increasingly to lie in the private beliefs of individuals rather than in the great public domain it once regarded as its habitat," he wrote in the U.S. magazine, Christianity Today.

Two developments are plaguing atheism these days. One is that it appears to be losing its scientific underpinnings. The other is the historical experience of hundreds of millions of people worldwide that atheists are in no position to claim the moral high ground.

I'd say a lot of folks in Pinellas County have a great deal to answer for...it is more than hard to believe that Bishop Lynch, Greer, Felos, Schiavo the monster, Bushnell the depressed, the ACLU and assorted other compaign contributors of Judge Greer, like the Sheriff (Rice), the law firm of the Bishop, and those who have served on the Hospice Boards-like Felos, greer's buddys, the legislators on or previously on the Hospice Board (love to know if that is a paid position)who pushed thru Felos composed bill in the house that added the giving of FOOD AND WATER as artificial life support (oh the MONEY HOSPICE HAS MADE AND WILL MAKE OFF OF THAT ONE!).....

have any relationship with God at all to have allowed Terri to languish and suffer all of these years with NO HELP, NO STIMULATION, NO THERAPY WHATSOEVER IN 12 YEARS, USE MEDICAID TO PAY HER HOSPICE STAY WHEN MICHAEL DRIVES A MERCEDES< LIVES IN AN UPSCALE HOUSE< PORKS A MISTRESS AND HAS TWO CHILDREN WITH HER!!!

Even takes his concubine to see Terri....bet that is fun in Terri's room.....not hard to picture what these monsters say and do to Terri's spirit when they are there!
