i dont think any of it is staged... my mother was a lot like that woman, but i have pretty much always been an atheist, i ran away countless times as a child. As soon as i was old enough to legally leave i did.... and never... ever went back.

People like her exist, and they are tyrants to live with.

Margaret has got a screw loose! She needs to forget about being on t.v. and worry about her spiritual life and her health! I liked that the Pagan lady was very open and considerate, not saying anything bad like the christian lady did! She did show the true colors of christians and god warriors, lol. Her "friends" were terrible, judgmental, hypocrites. I think they are truly just her friends so they could be on t.v. She really showed her bad side and I really feel bad for her. I thought it was funny in the end where she took the money, lmao. And am I seeing things wrong..did she do another one of these?? Lol

I would have donated 25,000 to get her daughter out of the house and the other 25,000 to hire a couple of boys with a straight jacket to force her into a mental institute. That woman (AND HER FRIENDS) need psychiatric therapy.

Even I sat there through the show and felt bad for my Christian fiends because it's people like this lady and her friends that give Christianity, or any religion for that matter, a bad name.

I just watched this show and am completely shocked and extremely embarassed about the way this woman treated the other family. I am a Christain and I understand how you could dislike Christians after that but that was just one crazy woman, just remember that.

This woman is a disgrace as a mother, her children were scared to speak out to her as she ranted about "the dark side", and "astrology". At one point I think I remeber her saying "I don't want to see any stars", well in that case why not blow up the sun you Jesus freak? The sun is the largest star in our solar system.

Second, her behavor was Gawd awful, she was supposed to be a loving Christian not a bible bashing bitch which is what happened. I hope she gets what she has coming to her cause Margaret Karma is a bigger bitch then you ever were.

AND I love being a Pagan.

I lived in a home just like Margaret's only both my parents were like that. Today, unknown to my parents, I practice wicca. Through this religion I have discovered myself and have been able to look within. I was becoming mentaly insane before I discovered this religion. I called my father and got him to watch the second episode and when he watched it he became furious. He knew why I wanted him to watch it. Who knows what will become of those daughters. Margaret is an inspiration of what I would never choose to be!

She isn't fooling me. Margaret wasn't at all concerned with that other woman's beliefs or anything remotely like that at all. I feel that she was very threatened by a "normal" mother coming into her home and giving her family (especially her kids) a taste of what it is like to be a normal, un-obese mother. Did you hear what she said? She said, "I WOANT MY GOD AND I WOANT MY FAMILEH!!!" She didn't care about that lady's belief system, I'm not buying that at all. I think she was scared to death that after her family had a normal mother in their lives for an extended period, that they would no longer take her seriously or even worse, lose all respect for her obese, boring lifestyle-having ass after seeing that life doesn't have to be that way.

No, Christianity is definitely a religion. Please see an article on this topic by clicking here.

I am truely embarrassed that this lady made a fool of her self on National Television. You guys say what you will, but let me tell you that being a Christian (follower of Christ), is not about being a freak like this lady, nor is it a religion, which some people would argue. It is a Relationship that I hope all of you will be able to experience. When you start to wonder if there is a God, and if so why would he love you, just close your eyes and you will feel him. I don't know what I would do without his love. So yes I too am anti-religion. But I am pro-relationship. Just something to think about!!!

Hey trainwrecka I just read your previous comment and I understand what your saying and it is true that we should not judge Christians by the actions of one person. There are many sincere good hearted christians and I used to be one of them. But I mean don't you think it is a little odd that there are so many WACKOS and FRAUDS in the christian faith. I mean if there was a Holy Spirit that actually lived in people's hearts then we would probably rarely read about these people but this is not the case. Any unbiased jury could clearly see that christianity is a complete fraud and anyone can clearly see that there is no Holy spirit living in people's "hearts". The more I read these stories it is just confirmation to me that I made the RIGHT decision in life to leave christianity behind me. I am so thankful I decided to make a u-turn in life! It's just complete and utter nonsense!

I agree with Ice ... this lady does not represent Christianity. She thinks she does - but the word of faith movement and "speaking things into existence" are not backed up with biblical teachings but from con artist like benny hinn and robert tilton.

Just as we shouldn't judge a group of people due to lunatics within the group - i.e. Muslims - but rather the different sects of the group.

Jesus didn't spend too much time on believers - He spent most of his time on those who didn't believe - i.e. whores, outcast, criminals, and the like. This lady obviously skips all that and replaces it with "God Warrior" nonsense.

ON A SIDE NOTE - I found the video very funny! I haven't laughed that hard in awhile. It is sad that it is true, but you can't help but laugh at someone who is so crazy - and on top of it all accepts the money in the end anyway. Ha!

I am a Christian and I found this woman's actions fascinatingly horrible. I seriously think she needs mental help. The way she acted did NOT in any way reflect how anyone is to treat others, especially Christians. Please don't let one psycho speak for a whole lot of people who believe in God.

Well JohnK as the saying goes..
"You are what you eat"

To me the Bible is nothing more than a handbook for people that have lost their way and don't know how to treat other humans the rest is just church spin to generate revenue.

Anyway this woman clearly needs to go back and RTFM

To Kat,
Actually Kat, 6 million Jews were not killed. It was 6 million human beings claiming to be Jews that were killed. I know this is way far over your head, but you really are not a Jew, you are a human being, self-claiming the title of a Jew.

To say one is a Jew, Christian or a Muslim, etc. is in no way proof or verification that one is, it's all selfclaimed titles by pure self-indulged ignorance.

There is no such thing as a christain, jew, muslim, etc.

There are only human beings claiming to be christain, jew, muslim.

I do not claim to be a an Atheist, I am a rational thinking human being only, I was born this way, I will always be this way.

This woman is such a hypocrite, she made the family do whatever she wants, but when it comes time to do something the family wanted, all of a sudden she had a 'feeling' come over her. For any1 that watched it, notice how when the husband mentioned the guy was a psychic...she said "i immediately had a feeling" then later she said how she felt it since he walked in.

JohnK — Sun, 19 Feb 2006 04:50:00 -0000

Ok Kat which part did you not like?

My rants are to expose christians for what they are, pretentious sanctimonious, self-righteous and self serving.

Now on to you Kat, you claim to
be a Jew, why is that?

Actually there is no such thing as a Jew, or christian, or Muslim, or Hindu, Buddhist, etc.

I can explain why!

When a human being leaves their mother's womb, there is no labels or titles that come with a human body, and it doesn't matter which part of the world you were born in.

We are all born Atheist's and we have no labels or titles.

We aquire these labels and titles by indoctrination. def:(indoctrinate; to imbue with any doctrine, to teach, to instruct, to impound.)

Kat all labels are self-claimed, self-appointed, self-elected self-prescribed.

By self-electing oneself a title or label, this gives the electee a feeling of superiority, like I'm a Jew, but you're a christian, and we're god's chosen people, I know you cannot see this.

By claiming a title, it cost 6 million people their lives in Germany, is a self-professed title worth one life? Not to me...

I can tell you Kat, that unless people wise up and give up titles there is going to be alot, I mean alot of people killed in Israel, what ever the population is in Israel I'm guessing 15 mil, is one life worth a title or label?

If self-claimed Jews had half of a brain they would all leave Eastern Europe, even if they were to all move to America, it would be the wise thing to do.

Kat, I know you resent someone telling you something that you've never been told, but I do this out of love for my fellow man, and you interpret it as hate, and it totally is not.

Let me explain something to you Kat and others, I went to the Mall the other night and I watched people, hundreds of people and I asked myself, which people are Jews and which ones are Christian, which ones are Muslims, which ones are Atheist's, you know what? I could not tell, not by the way they were dressed or looked, not unless they came up to me and announced that they were a Jew, Christian, etc.

Now don't come on here and tell me god knows, because he will search everyone heart, that's complete bullcrap, your heart does not store information, it stores blood.

You see Kat, you've been indoctrinated by a false belief, just like the self-righteous Margaret, you've all been indoctrinated by your family or preacher or bible, or some nonsense.

I feel I'm waisting my time, because your brain will not accept truth right now.

"Paul described himself as an Israelite of the tribe of Benjamin, circumcised on the eighth day, a Pharisee (Rom. 11:1; Phil. 3:5), and of the "Jews' religion … more exceedingly zealous of the traditions" (Gal. 1:14 KJV).

Acts 22:25 and 27 – 29 also state that Paul was a Roman citizen – a privilege he used a number of times to defend his dignity, including appealing his conviction in Iudaea Province to Rome. Because Paul never mentions this privilege in the epistles, some scholars have expressed skepticism as to whether Paul actually possessed citizenship; such an honor was uncommon during his lifetime. The Ebionites and some Restorationists argue that Paul was a Roman who tried to convert to Judaism so he could marry or court a Jewish woman and that his conversion was denied. They state that citizenship would have required participation in the Imperial Cult, which would have been in conflict with Hebrew religious ideals. Furthermore, this view contends that Paul embraced ideas from esoteric mystery religions of the time, later superimposing them on the teachings of Jesus."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

Paul claimed loyalty to two differing nations. As Judaism at the time, was association to the Jewish Nation. Paul, was a "double-agent" per se.

"A double agent pretends to spy on a target organization on behalf of a controlling organization, but in fact is loyal to the target organization. Double agents may be agents of the target organization who infiltrate the controlling organization, or may be previously loyal agents of the controlling organization who have been captured and turned by the target."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubl...

Paul, using situational ethics, chose to shift his political position on a whim, whenever is was convenient for him. If Paul actually believed in the OT, "literally", he wouldn't have preached against the laws. Thus, he chose to pick and choose in the bible what he "wanted" to believe, making the bible, "much less", than a holy book written by a god. If Paul had believed the OT was actually written by a God, he wouldn't have "changed" the oral tradition, and taught against the OT/Jewish Tanakh. Today, many christian leaders follow Paul's political strategy, picking and choosing which passages to teach from and which ones to ignore, thus, degenerating the words to less than political rhetoric or public policy.

Paul criticized the Jewish authored OT, yet, Constantine I's assigned clergy, accepted it, and added more writings to provide a NT and the canonized bible known today. If one were to actually read the bible, they'd be aware of the OT Messianic prophesies that did "not" come to pass. The establishment of a NT by the Roman Church, created two options; one-the OT prophesies were fulfilled, however, that would mean we are living in the New Kingdom at this moment, or... two-the OT God changed his/her/its mind because God just wasn't omniscient enough to know the original outcome of the Jews, and thus needed to "change" his/her/its "own" testament. Hopefully, christians in general know what a "testament" is, but typically they don't know their own bible, so, lets say the term "testament" is nothing more than a "covenant". Per the christian bible, its a covenant between a god and mankind. Now, what is a covenant; its a contract.

So, what we are literally saying here, is that an omniscient god, just couldn't negotiate their contract correctly because the Jews or Romans because they were just "too" unpredictable - now, how does an omniscient god get surprised by the future behavior of a people. Why the "need" for two testaments, if a "true" god inspired the writing and creation.

Paul, elevated himself up to god status, by choosing to preach what "he" felt should be religiously practiced. Perhaps, a god was never part of the testaments, it was just between political leaders, their writings, and those who chose to follow them.
