Sec. of State John Kerry spoke Sunday about losing his faith in God while a soldier in the Vietnam War, then returning to his Catholic faith after an "epiphany" that suffering is part of God's plan.

So, since John is still a pro-abortion socialist,
are we to believe that the 6th, 8th & 10th commandment are not taught?

But why should we suffer from the effects of the fact that Kerry has the brain of a slime mold?

I really, really hate the idiots that have the misfortune to dwell in the People’s Republic of Taxachusetts.

And idiots they must be: Kennedy, Kerry, Fauxahaunt-us, the big fat gay idiot, etc. etc, etc.

rice kernels in the axx will change your perspective on life, especially after a grueling 4 month tour afloat and armed to the teeth on the killing fields of the river delta and a lonely Christmas in Cambodia

and then there was the horror of those staged hearings on Capital Hill and the grueling rounds of cocktail parties in Georgetown....and throwing someone elses’ medals over the fence at the US Capital...martyrdom was never so tough, it was such a beyotch making sure the presstitures were there to take photos

but no suffering tops having to marry 2 heiresses, omg is there no humanity

now, how to fit that $100million dollar custom yacht through the eye of a needle

I actually was for Christianity before I was against it before I was for it.

Jane Fonda announced she had become a Christian a few years back. It made news and did not last real long. I suspect the same will happen to Kerry. He is the same type as Jane Fonda.

Pffft. Suffering isn’t God’s plan. It’s just the human condition.

Romans 5
3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Yeah, like Hanoi Jane Fonda. Yet she still to this day is closely linked to the communist movement. She gave her endorsement to a known Revolutionary Communist Party front group called World Can't Wait in 2005.

From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
Profile: World Can't Wait (WCW)

*Revolutionary communist movement that stages protests against the Bush administration

*Organizes college and high-school students

*Founded in June 2005 by Charles Clark Kissinger, a longtime leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party

From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us or rwor.org) :

Create Public Opinion, Seize Power:

We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.

And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.:

No, just that he's either deluded or lying (and if so, revealing the same contempt for the 9th (false witness) that he shows toward the 6th, 8th and 10th).
