Sure, hearing voices might be evidence of deities, but it's more likely that it's evidence of mental illness, or even more likely than that, evidence of someone capitalizing on the tendency of the population to accept that the "still small voice" is real, and using it to further destructive agendas.
This is exactly why I keep wanting to pinch myself and say this woman cannot be real.John McCain whom I once admired could not have made this ominous choice. In the year 2008 in America she could not become President with the failure of the health of a 72 year old 4 time cancer survivor.I am just stunned that many more people are not as alarmed as we are.Particularly in light of all that has happened in the last decade in the name of religious fundamentalism.
