Hotair’s post [Coulter: Jews will be “perfected” when they become Christians] follows the media in bringing this to a national story. As this being a negative comment against Jewish people … while she also said “practicing Jews will go to heaven,” within the same dialog. I don’t see this as a national story as what church or temple does not say “this is the path to heaven.” Millions or billions of people have made the claim that their path is the path to heaven. Christian themselves have different churches that all believe the way they practice is the correct path.

Christian’s as I am sure everybody already knows believe in a loving God who wants everybody to get to heaven - but, the problem is nobody deserves getting into heaven because nobody is “perfect.” But, don’t fret you only need to admit you are not perfect and ask for forgiveness.

Then there are of course going to be people who never heard about Jesus. Are they not going to go to heaven? Well it would not be an act of a loving God to say everybody born before Christ is condemned. This is resolved in different churches differently - but don’t worry they make it - after all the God that has the power to create the universe out of nothingness wants them to make it. So a word for us earth bound humans is needed to describe the difference between those who knew and those who did not.

“Perfected” honestly is a good word for describing the difference, because it does not imply they are less in the eyes of God. Does anybody really get offended by not being perfect? Do these same people believe they are perfect in everything? I can not imagine how they have gotten through life with teachers pointing out mistakes they made in math, ect, ect, ect - So Ann said they where not perfect in their faith (based on hers) but they got a passing grade. I am also certain she would say she is not perfect (if she were not too - she is not practicing Christianity the way I understand it - as all Christian have original sin, if not additional sins from their own making)

Pollster.com blog on Undecided vs. “Decided” a must read blog if you are watching the polls - Mark points out:

For those wondering why Obama’s poll numbers seem surprisingly low, check the raw results as opposed to the press releases. If the raw results aren’t posted on the polling company’s site, there’s probably a reason for that. ;-)

For example, a poll may find 5% support Obama, 10% Clinton, 10% others, and 75% don’t know. It’s considered acceptable to report this as 20% support Obama, 40% Clinton, and 40% others - which implies everyone asked had an opinion of some sort.
