...respect your view on abortion, but I'm pro-choice ... And you know, Pastor Rick, Jesus never mentions abortion in the Bible. He did say, though, that it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter heaven. Now, that's a metaphor - but it's also good tax policy. Unlike John McCain, I want to make it easier for rich people to go to heaven...
...they're not the cartoonish images of clouds parting and shining light upon Obama that might be expected in an ad spoofing him as a messiah. Instead, the screen displays a sinister orange light surrounded by darkness and later the faint image of a staircase leading up to heaven...
...poor; care for the sick; educate the next generation - "exemplifies Rick's capacity to capture big ideas and make them simple and memorable and motivational," says Crouch. Indeed, the idea is so big, only Warren could have hatched it. Warren dismisses those who claim he is trying to "build heaven on earth." He says, "I'm not that stupid."

...deal, but so too have wages. If the global economic slowdown eats into ticket and merchandising sales and the credit crunch suddenly trims the money available even to top clubs, the transfer market may see something of a correction - a development that could make middling leagues more competitive. And heaven help clubs boosted by vanity investment if their benefactors were to suddenly walk away. Even before this summer's spending is added, Chelsea would have just 18 months to repay Abramovich more than $1 billion if the Russian moved on to a different hobby...
